    There are times when people are so tired that they fall asleep almost anywhere. We can see there is a lot of sleeping on the bus or train on the       home from work in the evenings. A man will be       the newspaper, but seconds later，with his head down, it       as if he is trying to       it . Or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger       next to him.       place where unplanned short sleep       is in the lecture hall where a student will start snoring（打鼾）so       that the professor has to ask another student to       the sleeper awake. A more embarrassing（尴尬）situation happens when a student starts falling into sleep and the       of the head pushes the arm down off the       , and the movement causes the       of the body to move together and finally he falls down to the floor. The student wakes up on the floor with no       of the reason for getting there. The worst time to fall asleep is when       . Police reports are full of       that happen when people fall into sleep and go       the road. If the drivers are       , they are not seriously hurt. One woman’s car,       , went into the river. She woke up in four feet of       and thought it was raining. When people are really       , nothing will stop them from falling asleep—no matter where they are.

    (2013·高考北京卷，C)Although being famous might sound like a dream come true，today’s stars，feeling like zoo animals，face pressures that few of us can imagine.They are at the center of much of the world’s attention.Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes，cameras ready.Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!
    According to psychologist Christina Villarreal，celebrities－famous people－worry constantly about their public appearance.Eventually，they start to lose track of who they really are，seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them，not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.“Over time，”Villarreal says，“they feel separated and alone.”
    The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4th century B．C.，painters followed Alexander the Great into battle，hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century，his sold­out readings attracted thousands of fans，leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy.Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film­stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
    Being a public figure today，however，is a lot more difficult than it used to be.Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras.When they say something silly or do something ridiculous，there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
    If fame is so troublesome，why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it.Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities.They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
    Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice.Still，even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are.They are tired of being famous already.
    小题1:It can be learned from the passage that stars today________.
    A．are often misunderstood by the public
    B．can no longer have their privacy protected
    C．spend too much on their public appearance
    D．care little about how they have come into fame
    小题2:What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
    A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
    B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
    C．Well­known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
    D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
    小题3:What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
    A．Availability of modern media.
    B．Inadequate social recognition.
    C．Lack of favorable chances.
    D．Huge population of fans.
    小题4:What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?
    A．Sincere.B．Sceptical.
    C．Disapproving.D．Sympathetic.

    Remember your big accomplishments. If your coworker gets the promotion you wanted, it doesn’t mean you haven’t done great work. List out your accomplishments and think about how you got them and what you’ve done since then. You’ll quickly find that you’re just as worthy as the person you’re envying!

Stop letting jealousy eat you alive and realize that you can better spend that energy on furthering your own success and happiness.

    For many of us, a little time with our smartphones or iPads before sleep is the highlight of the night. But would you still think it is relaxing if you knew that it damages or destroys your sleep? Scientists say that's exactly what it does.
    In ancient times, when there were no lamps, telephones or smartphones, the sun was the main source of light. When the sun went down, our brains took that as a signal to start producing melatonin(褪黑素), a chemical that helps us sleep.
    However, a healthy amount of melatonin can only be produced in complete darkness.Any light in your bedroom—even the one on the alarm clock or the charging indicator on your cellphone—could disturb the process, not to mention something as bright as smartphone and iPad screens. We tend to hold these much closer than a television or laptop, which allows them to shoot far more light straight into our eyes.
    “This is particularly worrisome in populations such as young adults and adolescents, who already tend to be night_owls，” said researcher Brittany Wood at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.“Lack of sleep among teens is leading to depression, self­harm, low concentration and poor performance at school，” she added.
    While all lights are the enemy of sleep, not all colors of light have the same effect. Our eyes are particularly sensitive to blue light, which is common during the day. Most of the light coming from electronic screens is blue light and it fools our brain into thinking it's still daytime. By contrast, orange or red light has less influence on melatonin production, because our brains recognize it as a signal that the day is ending, according to The Telegraph.
    Asking yourself to keep your hands off your smartphone before bedtime might seem unreasonable, but you should at least remember to dim the screen or hold it farther away from your eyes. You could also wear a pair of orange sunglasses that take away the harmful blue light.
    小题1:According to the passage, we can know ________.
    A．it's a good habit to play with smartphones or iPads late into night
    B．scientists suggest we should avoid using smartphones or iPads
    C．darkness makes a great impact on the amount of melatonin
    D．the sun was the only source of light in ancient times
    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The darker it is, the more melatonin will be produced.
    B．The lighter it is, the more melatonin will be produced.
    C．The more melatonin you have, the worse you'll sleep.
    D．The more electrical equipment you have, the more melatonin will be produced.
    小题3:The underlined part in Paragraph 4 refers to those ________.
    A．who are young adults or adolescents
    B．who don't perform well in school
    C．who are addicted to a television or laptop
    D．who are short of sleep at night and perform poorly in daily life
    小题4:In the writer's opinion, which is a correct suggestion?
    A．You should go to bed when the sun goes down.
    B．You should use an orange or red light electronic screen.
    C．You should wear a pair of blue sunglasses when sleeping.
    D．You should avoid blue light as possible as you can before bedtime.

    Busy as I am every day, I always open my computer and check my email. Most of the time I am simply doing finger exercises, another form of piano practice without beautiful tones. Sometimes, however, I receive a gift, reminding me of the gifts in my life. The following passage is one of those gifts.
    Peter Jones is a 92-year-old, short, calm and proud man. Every morning he is fully dressed by eight o’clock, with his hair fashionably combed and face perfectly shaved even though hi is unable to see anything. He would move to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years old has recently passed away, making the move necessary.
    After hours of waiting patiently in the entrance hall of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready. As he moved his walking stick skillfully to the elevator, the nurse provided a visual description of his tiny room. “I love it,” he stated with enthusiasm. “Mr. Jones, you haven’t been the room,” said the nurse.
    “That doesn’t have anything to do with it,” he replied. “Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged…it’s how I arrange my mind. I have already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice: I can spend the day in bed complaining of the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.”
    Each day is a gift, and as long as we are alive. We’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories we’ve stored just as Mr. Jones does.
    小题1:What do we know about Mr. Jones ?
    A．He is a blind but very neat.
    B．His wife died many years ago.
    C．He likes playing the piano.
    D．His room in the nursing home is big.

    A．worriedB．curiousC．disappointedD．content
    小题3:The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to ________.
    A．the furnitureB．the roomC．a decisionD．a gift
    小题4:What would be the best title for the text?
    A．Each Day is a GiftB．Be Always Grateful

    The New York Philharmonic(爱乐乐团) came to an unexpected stop on Tuesday night when an audience member’s cell phone started ringing and wouldn’t stop.
    Conductor Alan Gilbert was nearing the end of Mahler’s Ninth Symphony(交响乐) when the interruption began. As eh New York Times writes, the symphony, “contains some of the most spiritual and peaceful music ever written.”
    As the cell phone continued to ring, the iPhone’s signature ringtone, Gilbert stopped the entire performance. And yet shockingly the phone continued to ring. “Nothing happened,” Gilbert told the Times, “Nobody was to blame for it. It was unbelievable.”
    Gilbert said minor cell phone interruptions have become common and rarely interfere with a live performance. The Philharmonic does what it can to remind to audience to turn off their cell phones before the performance begins. But the audience and performers stood by in astonished silence as Gilbert asked the offender(肇事者) to silence the phone, only to hear it continue.
    Mr Gilbert said audience pointed out two people sitting where the sound was coming from. “They were staring at me firmly,” he said of the couple. Eventually, the man put his hand in his pocket and the ringing stopped.
    The conductor said he asked the man if he was sure the phone was quieted. “Then he nodded his head,” Mr Gilbert said.
    People in the hall had been shouting for the sound to stop. Mr Pelkonen reported that they yelled: “Thousand-dollar fine!” “Kick him out!” “Get out!”
    Once the phone was finally silenced, Gilbert apologized to the audience. They responded with cheers and applause(掌声). And the performance continued.
    小题1:The underlined words “interfere with” in the third paragraph means “         ”.

    小题2:What do we know about the offender?

    C．It’s necessary to quiet the phones when the performance is over.

    A woman was walking her dog along a beach in New Zealand in late June when she saw something that looked like a white ball in the sand. It turned out to be a young Emperor penguin that was lost. At his age, he should have been close to Antarctic, swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes(冰川). But this penguin started swimming north and just kept going.
    The penguin attracted a lot of attention in New Zealand. It has been 40 years since an Emperor penguin was last seen there. Researchers at the Department of Conservation were called in. They decided to watch the penguin closely, but not to disturb it in any way. Many New Zealanders came to Peka Peka Beach to look at the elegant penguin. They were careful to keep their dogs away from it so it wouldn’t be frightened.
    The public nicknamed the animal Happy Feet. Researchers started to notice that Happy Feet didn’t seem well. It turns out that he had been eating the sand from the beach, likely thinking it was snow.
    The public raised more than 11,000 pounds for an operation to get the sand out of his stomach. The operation was a success, and Happy Feet was taken to a zoo in Wellington, NZ. A group of experts met to decide how to help Happy Feet return to the wild.
    Last Sunday, they put him on a boat called the Tangaroa, in a specially built ice-filled box and took him out into the Southern Ocean, southeast of New Zealand. There, they released him into the ocean, which is his natural habitat. He took one last look at his human helpers and then dived into the ocean.
    “Emperor penguins spend their first five years at sea,” said Peter Simpson of New Zealand’s Department of Conservation. “ What happens now is up to the penguin.”
    Happy Feet was fitted with a satellite transmitter(发射机)so they can monitor his progress using the Internet. So far, the trackers shows that he swam northeast for a little while before getting his bearings and heading south.
    小题1:Where is the young penguin supposed to appear?
    A．On the sunny beach.B．Near the Antarctic.
    C．Inside the hole in the ice.D．In the depths of the ocean.
    小题2:The public collected some money to______.
    A．build a home for the penguin
    B．get the sand out of the penguin’s belly
    C．do some research on the penguin
    D．return the penguin to his habitat
    小题3:What does Peter Simpson mean by saying “ What happens now is up to the penguin.”?
    A．The penguin needs no protection from human.
    B．Human beings can do noting to help penguins.
    C．No one knows what will happen to the penguins.
    D．Whether the penguin can survive depends on himself.

    Tourism has the power to bring jobs and economic development to popular destination（目的地）, but how should travelers decide where to spend their money? Are some countries more deserving of visitors’ dollars than others?
    That’s the idea behind the 10-destination list put together by San Francisco-based non-profit Ethical（有道德的）Traveler, which since 2006,has published an annual guide to the World’s Best Ethical Destinations in the developing world.
    “Instead of publishing countries for doing bad things,” said Jeff Greenwald, executive director of Ethical Traveler, “we’re trying to offer a favor, rewarding countries in the developing world that are really trying to do the right thing.”
    So which countries are the most ethical? For 2013,the winners are Barbados, Cape Verde, Costa Rica, Ghana, Latvia ,Lithuania, Mauritius, Palau, Samoa and Uruguay.
    Those 10 countries scored highest in three main areas: social welfare, environmental protection and human rights.
    Greenwald explained that countries must have a good tourism infrastructure（基础建设）to make the list, but the non-profit Ethical Traveler also uses the list to promote（提倡）some under-visited places that can be a role model for other countries in their region. For example, Latvia earned high marks for improving its environmental efforts and strong human rights record, and the country’s parks and nature reserves make for a great off-the-beaten-path ecotourism trip.
    In addition to just visiting these countries, travelers should aim to spend their money in locally-owned business, Greenwald said, to ensure their financial support stays in the country they’re visiting. However, that requires a well-maneged tourism infrastructure. While one could argue those poor places need the money even more, tourism can put pressure on countries that face such challenges.
    Erica Avrami, research and education director at the World Monuments Fund(WMF) said that a list of ethical destinations is “a wonderful idea”, the idea of being ethical goes both ways. “There’s also a certain responsibility on the part of the traveler to make sure their own footprint is as minimal as possible,” she said. 
    小题1:The passage mainly aims to _______.
    A．promote ethical destinations
    B．encourage ecotourism trips
    C．speed up the development of tourism
    D．discuss which countries are ethical destinations
    小题2:According to the fifth paragraph Latvia can make the list partially for its _______.
    A．good tourism infrastructureB．regular ecotourism trip
    C．strong human rights recordD．good social welfares
    小题3:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
    A．Tourism fails to help develop local economy and provide jobs.
    B．All the destinations should equally share the money spent by visitors.
    C．Ethical Traveler punishes the developing countries for doing wrong things.
    D．Ethical Traveler rewards the developing countries for doing the right thing.
    小题4:In the eyes of Erica Avrami  _______.
    A．being ethical is not actually a wonderful idea
    B．being ethical depends on both travelers and destinations
    C．travelers are advised to travel as far as possible
    D．travelers should leave as much footprint as possible
