Year 13 schoolboy Arunabh Prakash can’t agree more.

It’s quite intense. You must have the energy to debate for long hours，” says Arunabh, who began debating in Year 10.The WSDC is a debating competition in the world for high school students from different countries. It involves four prepared debates and four impromptu debates －debates without specific preparations.To gain selection for the national team for the global final, Arunabh had to compete with regional teams. Despite the mounting pressure, he says he was confident of winning.“We didn’t lose a debate in the first two days. And we had a very strong team. We were confident of our ability to win，” he says.【解题导语】本文介绍了五位代表新西兰参加在泰国举行的World Schools Debating Championships的学生中的Arunabh Prakash，告诉了我们辩论中雄辩和逻辑思维的重要性。

Knights, scholars and highwaymen(拦路强盗)or thieves who had been infamous for their clever robberies, passed by each other.Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy, Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servants—all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town’s residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and men’s interests that make up the great world.And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.【文章大意】本文主要讲述了莎士比亚到伦敦后的经历，他很快适应了那里的生活，并把自己所观察到的事情融入到自己的创作中。

I’m not one of them. After a night without enough sleep, I feel bad­tempered. I have trouble remembering things. And all I want to do is crawl back into bed and sleep. How do you feel after you’ve stayed up late to finish schoolwork? Or the day after an overnight party? Scientists now say that your answers to these questions may depend on your genes.New research suggests that a gene called period 3 affects how well you function without sleep. The period 3 gene comes in two forms：short and long. Everyone hastwo copies of the gene. So, you may have two longs, two shorts, or one of each. Your particular combination depends on what your parents passed on to you. Scientists from the University of Surrey in England studied 24 people who had either two short or two long copies of period 3. Study participants had to stay awake for 40 hours straight. Then, they took tests that measured how quickly they pushed a button when number flashed on a screen and how well they could remember lists of numbers.Results showed that the people with the short form of period 3 performed much better on these tests than the people with the long form did. In both groups, people performed worst in the early morning. That’s the time when truck driver s and other night­shift workers say they have the most trouble concentrating.After the first round of experiments, participants were finally allowed to sleep. People in the group that performed well on the tests took about 18 minutes to nod off.People with the long period 3 genes, by contrast, fell asleep in just 8 minutes. They also spent more time in deep sleep. That suggests that people with the long form of the gene need more and deeper sleep to keep their brains working at top form.I think I must have the long form of period 3. What about you?【解题导语】本文是一篇研究性短文。
