    Wandering around the airport terminal(航站楼), after learning my flight had been delayed four hours, I heard an announcement, “If anyone near Gale A-4 understands any Arabic, please come to the gate immediately.” I went there and saw an old woman in full traditional Palestinian dress crying on the floor. A young man from the airport staff asked me to talk to her to find out what was her problem. He said she started to cry when hearing the announcement about the flight.

    I knelt down, put my arms around her and asked her what was wrong. My Arabic wasn’t good enough but I managed to get my meaning across. She soon stopped crying and told me she had thought the flight had been canceled. She needed to be in El Paso for an important medical treatment the next day. I said, “You’ll be fine. You’ll get there but only a few hours late. Who is going to pick you up? Let’s call him.” We called her son. I spoke to him in English. I told him I would stay with his mother till we boarded the plane. Later, I called my dad whose Arabic was better and asked him to talk to her. She looked much more relaxed while talking on the phone.

    Later she took out a sack of homemade cookies stuffed with dates and nuts and offered them to all the women at the gate: the traveler from Argentina, the mom from California, the lovely woman from Laredo. Everybody smiled and accepted her cookies to eat. And my new best friend and I were holding hands, while the others around us were talking with each other with different accents. I almost wanted to hug all those other women too. I looked around that gate and thought to myself, “This is surely the world want to live in.”

    1.Why did the old lady cry at the airport terminal gate?

    A. The plane was canceled. B. Her medical treatment was canceled.

    C. She didn’t know which flight to take. D. She misunderstood the announcement.

    2.It can be inferred that ________.

    A. the author was Palestinian B. most passengers were from America

    C. the author’s first language was English D. the old lady had never travelled abroad

    3.According to the passage, we learn that the author was ________.

    A. talkative and active B. warm-hearted and helpful

    C. creative and intelligent D. enthusiastic but aggressive

    A Brown University sleep researcher has some advice for people who run high schools: Don't start classes so early in the morning. It may not be that the students who nod off at their desks are lazy. And it may not be that their parents have failed to make sure bedtime. Instead, it may be that biologically these sleepyhead students aren't used to the early hour. "Maybe these kids are being asked to get up at the wrong time for their bodies, " says Mary Carskadon, a professor looking at problems of adolescent sleep at Brown's School of Medicine.

    Carskadon is trying to understand more about the effects of early school time in adolescents. And , at a more basic level, she and her team are trying to learn more about how the biological changes of adolescence affect sleep needs and patterns. Carskadon says her work suggests that adolescents may need more sleep than they did at childhood, no less, as commonly thought. Sleep patterns change during adolescence, as any parent of an adolescent can prove. Most adolescents prefer to stay up later at night and sleep later in the morning. But it's not just a matter of choice—their bodies are going through a change of sleep patterns.

    All of this makes the change from middle school to high school—which may start one hour earlier in the morning—all the more difficult, Carskadon says. With their increased need for sleep and their biological clocks set on the "sleep late, rise late" pattern, adolescents are up against difficulties when it comes to trying to be up by 5 or 6 a. m. for a 7: 30 a. m. first bell. A short sleep on a desktop may be their bodies' way of saying, "I need a timeout. "

    1.Carskadon suggests that high schools should not start classes so early in the morning because ________.

    A. it is really tough for parents to ensure bedtime

    B. students are so lazy that they don't like to go to school early

    C. students work so late at night that they can't get up early

    D. it is biologically difficult for students to rise early

    2.The underlined phrase "nod off"(Paragraph l) most probably means "________".

    A. turn around B. agree with others

    C. fall asleep D. refuse to work

    3.What might be a reason for the hard change from middle school to high school?

    A. Adolescents depend more on their parents.

    B. Adolescents need more sleep than they used to.

    C. Adolescents sleep better than they did at childhood.

    D. Adolescents have to choose their sleep patterns.

    4.What is the text mainly about?

    A. Changes in adolescent sleep needs and patterns.

    B. Problems in adolescent learning.

    C. Adolescent sleep difficulties.

    D. Adolescent heath care.

    The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL).The game is the culmination（高潮）to a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally, Roman numerals are used to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season. The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 7, 2016, following the 2015 regular season. The next game, Super Bowl LII, scheduled for February 4, 2018, will follow the 2017 regular season.

    The game was created as part of a merger(合并) agreement between the NFL and its then rival league, the American Football League (AFL). Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl victories, with six. The New England Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances, with nine.

    The day (usually the first Sunday in February) on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered as an unofficial American national holiday, is called "Super Bowl Sunday". It is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the seven most-watched broadcasts in U.S. television history are Super Bowls. In 2015, Super Bowl XLIX attracted an audience of 114.4 million.

    Because of the high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year, leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, popular singers and musicians including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Whitney Houston, and Lady Gaga have performed during the event's pregame and halftime ceremonies.

    1.According to the text, in the Super Bowl ________.

    A. the New England Patriots have won nine times

    B. the Pittsburgh Steelers have won six titles

    C. Arabic numerals are used to refer to each game

    D. winners of the last season play against each other

    2.On Super Bowl Sunday, American people usually ________.

    A. buy expensive Super Bowl tickets B. consume the most food of the year

    C. avoid the Super Bowl commercials D. enjoy performances by famous artists

    3.In 2015, the ________ Super Bowl was held.

    A. 46th B. 49th C. 51st D. 55th

    4.We can know from the text that the Super Bowl ________.

    A. is a public holiday in the United States

    B. is the annual championship game of AFL

    C. launches a new season of the National Football League every year

    D. has frequently been the most watched American television broadcast of the year
