AAfter a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people suggest breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.1. The text makes us know that not getting enough sleep might make you _________.A. suffer form poor healthB. enjoy moreC. dream more oftenD. breathe quickly2. During REM, _______.A. you move restlesslyB. you start dreamingC. your mind stops workingD. your eyeballs move quickly3. The underlined word “drowsy” in the last paragraph probably means______.A. lazyB. sleepyC. relaxedD. pleasedBEveryone knows how the story of Cinderella does everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals before she meets the prince. If someone asked Cinderella, “Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?” She probably would answer , “Why , none , of course. Housework is my duty!” In the real world, however, most people have certain dislikes for some kinds of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing（熨）clothes and washing dishes.Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled（处理）separately, so ironing a basket of them can take hours! If you do not follow directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because , we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don’t come out as clean as they do when washed by hand. For this reason, many of us continue to wash our dishes. And it is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day. I don’t know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.4. For Cinderella, doing household work is __________.A. what she hates to doB. what she is responsible forC. what she loves to doD. what she is content with5. Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because _________.A. it takes a lot of timeB. it has to be done by one personC. it must be handled skillfullyD. it needs careful planning6. Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because _________.A. hand washed dishes are cleanerB. dishwashers are not so easily handledC. some dishes cannot be washed by machineD. washing dishes by hand is cheaper7. Ironing is different from washing dishes in that _________.A. it requires patienceB. it is not a daily houseworkC. it is not tiringD. it needs less careCNorm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.Mrs Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (扑), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.Mrs Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH) for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.“This could have been a fatal(致命的) and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital, Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.He said Mrs Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”.Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.8. This passage is most likely to be found in _____.A. a travel guideB. a newspaperC. a textbookD. a novel9. The crocodile attacked Mrs. Pethrick when she was ______.A. swimming in the riverB. standing on the river bankC. watching the crocodileD. fishing in the water10. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Mrs Pethrick?A. Her eyes were badly poked.B. She had eight wounds altogether.C. One of her fingers also got hurt.D. One of the crocodile’s teeth was found in her leg.11. According to the passage, Norm Pethrick can be described as the followingEXCEPT .A. braveB. diligentC. quickD. humorousDWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity or extreme overweight among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.12. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.13. This text is mainly the relationship between _________.A. Americans and the FrenchB. life style and obesityC. children and adultsD. fast food and overweight14. The text is mainly developed __________.A. by comparisonB. by spaceC. by processD. by classification(分类)15. Where does this text probably come from?A. A TV interviewB. A food advertisementC. A health reportD. A book review第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
