    A beautiful and very successful actress was the star for a new musical show. Her home was in the country, but she didn’t want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the center of the city, got some beautiful furniture and got a man to paint the rooms in new colour.
    It was very difficult to get tickets for her show in the evening, because everyone wanted to see it. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of month, when she got the painter’s bill. At the bottom of it were these words: “Four hours from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. watching Miss Hall sing and dance: 3 pounds,” with this note: “Before 5:00 p.m. I get 10 shillings (先令)an hour and after 5:00 p.m. 15 shillings.”

    A student newspaper reports that most students go to sleep at 1:30 am. Even if that’s an overstatement (夸张), it’s close to the truth. Scientists say teens should sleep nine hours each night. But that’s hard. Some are even “pulling all-nighters” (开夜车). These students must hand in their homework the next day but they haven’t done it. In the morning they don’t look healthy and you can tell who’s been doing it. One of my classmates did a survey on the topic. She found that most kids pull all-nighters to finish homework, but some do it for other reasons, such as playing computer games!
    Maybe our lack(缺乏) of sleep is because of laziness — I think I’m a rather lazy student — or maybe it’s because we have too much to do in American high schools. I usually go to bed around midnight. If I stayed up past 1:30 am, I wouldn’t get any work done. I’d be falling asleep at my computer. My classes begin at 7:30 am. I’m partly awake in my first class. By the second, I’m a little sleepy. By my third class, I’m sleepy. By midday I’m finally fully awake. But by 3:00 pm, I’m slowing down again. Yet I get more sleep than usual students.
    Most American high schools seem to have a similar(相似的) problem with sleepy students. High school classes start at 7:30 am, so students have to get up one and a half hours before that to get ready and catch the bus. It’s believed that lack of sleep can be bad for both grades and health. Some schools are paying attention. Classes in those schools start at 8:30 am.
    【小题1】What does the underlined sentence “it’s close to the truth” mean?
    A．It doesn’t tell the truth. B．It is quite true.
    C．It is impossible.D．I don’t think it’s right.
    【小题2】Why do most of the teens have to stay up late?
    A．They play computer games.B．They watch videos late.
    C．They have to do a lot of housework.D．They have to do a lot of homework.
    【小题3】When do students in most American high schools have to get up?
    A．At 7:30 am.B．At 6:00 am.C．At 9:00 am.D．At about 7:00 am.
    【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the reading?
    A．The writer usually stays up past 1:30 am.
    B．The writer usually goes to bed around midnight.
    C．The writer usually does a survey.
    D．Many American students don’t get enough sleep, so they can have high grades.
    【小题5】What’s the main idea of the passage?
    A．Something has to be done to solve the problem of students’ lack of sleep.
    B．Many American high school students are sleepy in class.
    C．Many kids have too much homework to do.
    D．Students can’t play computer games.
