Sleep repairs the body and the mind and helps prevent disease by strengthening the immune system. However, many adults do not get eight hours of sleep each night. The average adult today gets only 6.4 hours of sleep. Only in recent years have health professionals begun to realize the seriousness of sleep deprivation in the working population. A significant number of people work at night, work long hours, or suffer from sleeplessness or jet lag. Studies show that the brain is negatively affected by sleep deprivation because certain patterns of electrical and chemical activity that occur during sleep are interrupted and the brain cannot function normally. In one study, thirteen healthy adult subjects(实验对象) who usually had normal sleep patterns were kept awake and carefully monitored in a lab during a period of 35 hours. During the experiment, the subjects were asked to perform several tasks, such as mathematics and word problems, while undergoing scans of their brain activity. The researchers found that the temporal lobe (颞叶) of the brain, the region involved in language processing, was active during speech tasks in rested subjects but not in subjects who lacked enough sleep. After several hours without sleep, there was no activity within this region. Several studies show that getting fewer than six hours of sleep can damage short-term memory and reaction time—thus causing a serious risk of accident. In one study of drivers, researchers reported that sleep deprivation had the same effects as being drunk. They found that people who drove after being awake for 17 hours performed worse than those with a blood alcohol level of 0.5 percent, the legal limit for drunk driving in most western European countries. The researchers concluded that countries with drunk driving laws should consider similar restrictions against sleep-deprived driving. 【1】The underlined word "deprivation" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_______. A. weakness B. loss C. discomfort D. pain 【2】The passage mentions all of the following as causes of sleep deprivation EXCEPT______. A. jet lag B. long work hours C. boring work D. working at night 【3】The purpose of the study described in Paragraph 2 was to determine_________. A. how many hours people can survive without sleep B. how people react when their sleep is interrupted C. the changes in brain activity that occurs during sleep D. the effects of sleep deprivation on brain activity 【4】Why does the author mention blood alcohol level in Paragraph 3? A. To show how sleep deprivation reduces the blood alcohol level. B. To show that sleep deprivation has the same dangerous effects as being drunk. C. To suggest that sleep-deprived drivers are also likely to drink. D. To argue against raising the legal limit for drunk driving. |

Americans are worried about new technology. They are concerned that machines. Including robots, will take over work now done by humans. These findings come from a new report by the Pew Research Center of Washington DC. About 75 percent of Americans questioned by Pew said automation will increase income inequality between the rich and the middle class and the poor. And 64 percent of people expect automation to be so common in America that people will face difficulty finding things to do with their lives. Some of the concerns about technology come from a distrust about whether machines will always make the right decision. Many Americans believe humans have better judgment in dealing with complex matters. One example is selecting a person for a job. Three quarters of Americans said they would not want to apply for a job that uses a computer program to choose the most qualified person. Most Americans want the government to limit automation, For example, 87 percent support a requirement that all driverless vehicles have a human in the driver s scat who can take control when needed. And 85 percent want to limit machines to mostly doing jobs that are dangerous or unhealthy for humans. And only 25 percent expect more jobs to come from automation. Pew said, Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook, spoke last May to graduating seniors from Harvard University in Massachusetts, His talk centered on the uncertain future facing young people. “Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks,” Zuckerberg told the graduates, Zuckerberg said young people will have to find projects that will bring both jobs and direct benefits to the people of the world. He said in his speech that 300,000 people worked to put a man on the moon, and millions of people built, the Hoover Dam as well as other great projects over the last 100 years. 【1】What do Americans think of technology? A. Useful. B. Effective C. Dangerous. D. Undependable. 【2】Which of the following do the majority of Americans want the government to do? A. Use machines to do dangerous and harmful jobs. B. Increase job chances by introducing machines C. Select a person for a job by computer. D. Get rid of all driverless vehicles. 【3】What did Zuckerberg encourage the students to do? A. Refuse self-driving vehicles. B. Create new job chances. C. Consider large projects. D. Fight against robots. 【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. New Technology Creates More Jobs B. New Technology Makes New Unfairness C. Americans Worry Robots Will Take Jobs D. Robots Make Work Easy to Do for Workers. |

Last week, two companies, Kitty Hawk and Uber, announced their plans to bring flying cars to reality very soon. Kitty Hawk president, Sebastian Thrun, announced Kitty Hawk’s flying car plans last Monday. According to its website, the car is electric-powered and will be able to travel at speeds up to 40 kilometers an hour. It says such a machine “does not require registration or a pilot’s license and may be flown in uncrowded areas for recreational purposes.” As of now, the car can only be flown over fresh water. Kitty Hawk is making a list of people interested in buying the flying car. They must pay a deposit of $ 100. Those who get their names on the list early will receive $2,000 off the final cost of the car. However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the price. Its first flying cars are expected to go on sale by the end of this year. Unlike the Kitty Hawk company, Uber does not plan to build its flying cars. Uber expects to launch flying taxis in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas, US by 2020. Like the Kitty Hawk car, Uber flying taxis will use electric power. Uber says its flying taxis could travel up to 241 kilometers an hour. The company says that could reduce the travel time between San Francisco and San Jose, California from 2 hours on the road to 15 minutes in the air. Riders could use the Uber app to book a flying taxi to take them to their destinations. The company has not yet said how costly air taxi travel would be compared to road taxi travel. Sooner than you think, flying cars may appear in the sky. Much convenience as they will bring, just imagine having to avoid other flying cars. Also, what if your battery dies when you are in the air? And, how will you know where to land? 【1】What may Kitty Hawk’s flying car be used for at present? A. Accelerating the speed. B. Having fun. C. Advertising the company. D. Fetching water. 【2】What do we know about Kitty Hawk’s flying car from the third paragraph? A. It costs two thousand dollars each. B. It can travel over water. C. It offers $100 to its potential buyers. D. It hasn’t gone to market. 【3】In what way is Uber’s flying taxi similar to Kitty Hawk’s flying car? A. They travel at the same speed. B. They are electric-powered. C. They are supported by the Uber app. D. They require a flying license. 【4】What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the text? A. To call for public donations. B. To introduce some advantages. C. To promote interest in science. D. To talk about possible problems. |

We automatically assume that as adults, we’re wiser than when we were children. However, actually we can learn a lot from our childhood self. For example, we can learn to develop optimism about the future. Do you remember how excited you used to be just before Christmas? 【1】 Reintroduce that childlike wonder into our daily experiences. We can learn to dream big and imagine the impossible. How often have you heard a child say something like “One day, I’m going to be an astronaut”? Our adult minds immediately laugh at this idea and think about all the logical reasons as to why this might never happen. 【2】 We minimize our chances of attaining what we dream about. It is okay to dream big just as our childhood self did. 【3】 Our childhood self looked at possibilities and believed we could achieve them successfully. If we wanted to build a tree house, we’d go about thinking about how to make it happen instead of focusing on all the reasons it might not happen. In this way we can fill our life with possibilities rather than regrets. We can learn to be playful and silly sometimes, 【4】 Children spend a large amount of time escaping from reality to mess about and have fun. Make time for your childhood self to come out and play. Run around the garden, wear a silly hat or spend time laughing. 【5】. A. Don’t imagine things could go wrong. B. We can learn to hold a “can do” attitude. C. That feeling of great joy is hard to beat. D. Most children tend to think in a positive way. E. All of these activities can make us feel happy and alive. F. We employ self-limiting beliefs without even realizing it. G. All work and no play makes a person very dull and upset. |
