Born into a farmer’s family, life was not easy when I was a kid. We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from. I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family.
A storyteller once came to the marketplace, and I went to listen to him. My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job. But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, I couldn't help retelling stories I'd heard that day. She listened impatiently at first, since in her eyes professional (职业的) storytellers were smooth-talking men—nothing good ever came out of their mouths. But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories, and from that day on, she never gave me any task on market days, unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories. As a repayment(回报)for Mother's kindness and a way to show off my memory, I'd retell the stories for her in lively detail. Soon, she wasn't the only member of my audience, which later included my elder sisters, my aunts, even my stubborn grandmother.
I knew she was worried about me. Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village, for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much. Mother often reminded me not to talk so much, wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager. However, my natural desire(渴望)to talk never went away, and that is what makes my name – Mo Yan, which means ‘no speaking’. This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself, which is important for writers who are also considered as storytellers.

【1】Mo Yan lived a/an ________ life when he was young.
A. difficult B. colourful C. easy D. rich
【2】From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A. little Mo Yan was interested in selling vegetables
B. his mother was attracted by the retold story at first
C. his mother didn’t let him listen to the new stories again
D. little Mo Yan had quite a good memory
【3】Why did his mother dislike the professional storytellers?
A. Because she thought they never said anything good.
B. Because she thought they couldn’t make much money.
C. Because she thought they would affect Mo Yan’s schoolwork.
D. Because she thought most people didn’t like listening to stories.
【4】In Mo Yan’s opinion, a writer should be a ________ child when they were young.
A. silent B. modest
C. talkative D. trouble-making
【5】Which is the best title(标题)of the passage?
A. My Unlucky Childhood
B. A Storyteller’s Childhood
C. My Kind Grandmother
D. More talking leads to success

Most schools are going to start a programme called BYOT (Bring Your Own Technology). This programme allows students to bring iPads, mobile phones or other things to school for study. One aim for this programme is that the students don’t need to carry textbooks any more. They can download maths, science, social studies, and read textbooks on their iPads. Another one is that they can get free educational subjects to learn in their free time!
Schools have set up a free Wi-Fi system just for the BYOT programme. Thank teachers for all their hard word to set this programme up. I really think this programme will go well in most schools and I also think that learning will be better than ever.
However, some schools will probably not allow this because they think that it will make kids mess around too much and they might break their iPads.
This programme will let students have fun and learn at the same time. If you like your iPads and you like to read, school is getting started with reading with iPads. High schools and middle schools have already started and so have some elementary schools. But most elementary schools are coming along! Let’s tell them: Hurry! Get ready to learn!
【1】In the programme BYOT, students usually go to school without .
A.taking iPad B.taking textbooks C.learning maths D.learning science
【2】What is the programme BYOT used for?
A.Playing. B.Studying. C.Saving money. D.Making friends.
【3】From the second paragraph we believe .
A.the writer agrees to the programme BYOT
B.the writer is afraid of breaking the iPads
C.there are not enough iPads for kids at school
D.the teachers don’t have to teach anything with the Wi-Fi system
【4】What does the underlined phrase “mess around” mean?
A.干扰课堂秩序 B.提高效率 C.浪费时间 D.浪费人力
【5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.You can’t learn while you have fun. B.The passage tells us not to learn with iPads.
C.Few schools have started the programme. D.Elementary schools do worst in the programme.

A good night’s sleep can improve your mood and your memory. New data shows that getting enough sleep might also get your cuts to grow back together faster. In fact, sleep was more important than good healthy food in speeding wound growing back together.
This wasn’t what scientists had expected to see.
They had hoped to show that giving people the right type of food for good health and growth would make their skin wounds grow back together faster --- even in people who were prevented from having enough sleep. The scientists thought it should work because good healthy food keeps the body strong, helps repair injuries and guards against infection (感染).
Tracey Smith is a scientist at the U.S. Army Research Institute. She and her team studied three groups of healthy people who came to their lab to take part in tests. They gave each group small skin wounds.
* One group of 16 volunteers got a normal amount of sleep --- seven to nine hours a night. The other two groups of 20 people each got only two hours of sleep a night, for three nights in a row. To stay awake, the volunteers were asked to do things such as walking, playing video games, watching TV, sitting on an exercise ball or playing table tennis. Throughout the experiment, one of the sleep-losing groups got a healthy drink with protein and vitamins. The other group also got a drink: It looked and tasted the same but had no healthy chemicals in it.
Sleep clearly helped. People who slept normally got well in about 4.2 days. The volunteers without enough sleep took about 5 days. And getting better healthy food offered no clear benefit. What to make of the data
Sleep expert Clete Kushida didn’t find the results all that surprising. He is a doctor at Stanford University Medical Center in California. The idea that lost sleep harms the body is true.
Why didn’t healthy food help healing time? Smith can think of a few possibilities. The healthy drinks may have helped a little --- just not enough to show up clearly in the small numbers of men and women tested here. Different people need different amount of time to become better.
For people who can’t avoid losing sleep, scientists still don’t have a good way to help them. Smith says, “If you want to become better faster, your best bet for now is to get more ‘vitamin Z’.
【1】What did the scientists think of this experiment at first?
A.They expected that good healthy food could help people’s skin wounds grow back together faster even without enough sleep.
B.They believe that enough sleep was more important than healthy food because it kept the body strong and helped repair injuries.
C.They thought that without enough sleep it was hard for the skin cuts to become better because the right type of food didn’t work.
D.They wondered which type of way was more helpful and useful to skin injuries, enough sleep or the right type of healthy food.
【2】Why did the writer write the paragraph with a “*”?
A.To show how right the scientists’ prediction was. B.To introduce which group worked better.
C.To tell readers how the experiment was. D.To show what volunteers took part in it.
【3】Sleep expert Clete Kushida didn’t find the result all that surprising because .
A.he thinks healthy drinks just helped a little because not everyone needs them
B.he believes different people need spend different time in becoming better
C.he guesses the drinks may be not healthy enough to work properly
D.he thinks not having enough sleep is bad for people’s body and health
【4】What does Smith refer ‘vitamin Z’ to in the sentence “If you want to become better faster, your best bet for now is to get more ‘vitamin Z’?
A.A vitamin called Z. B.A helpful healthy chemical.
C.A vitamin which is helpful to wound. D.sleep.
【5】What’s the best title for this article?
A.A useful and helpful report on sleep B.Sleep makes wounds better faster
C.Healthy food helps repair injuries D.A useful and important experiment
