Farah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends for a party.
“Farah, aren’t you going to invite Hafsa?” her mother asked. Hafsa had been her best friend since childhood.
“Mother, you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with,” Farah answered.
“Really? And what are the rules?” her mother asked.
“Well, only very pretty girls can be part of our group. And Hafsa is so…you know …dark.”
“I cannot believe it,”her mother said angrily.
As Farah left the kitchen, her father called her from the living room.
Farah went to her father and paled when she saw the exam report in his hands. “Farah, what has happened to your grades? You have failed in Mathematics,” her father said.

“Farah, it says that you can take part in supplementary exams（补考）. If your grades don’t improve then, I’ll cancel（职消）your trip to Spain.”
Farah went to her room and called Gina, the leader of Purple Girls Club. “Gina, can you help me to complete my notes before the exams?”
Gina laughed. “Exams? Who cares about exams?”

A good night’s sleep in the early years of life could be very important in preventing a child becoming obese, say scientists. Babies and pre-school children who sleep for less than ten hours a night are more likely to be overweight when they are older, research has found. Experts believe that those who do not get enough sleep are more likely to feel hungry and want more calorie-rich food during the day.
Former research has linked sleeping with obesity in adults and teenagers, but this is one of the first to look at very young children. Researchers from the Universities of Washington and California looked at the sleeping habits of almost 1,000 children under the age of five. They found those who had less than ten hours’ sleep were twice as likely to be overweight five years later.
Childhood obesity has doubled over the past 10 years. A quarter of secondary school pupils are now judged to be so overweight that their health is in danger. Experts believe sleep, or lack（缺乏）of it, could be a major cause of this. On average children are sleeping for an hour less than they did 30 years ago. Last year Chinese researchers looked at more than 5,000 youngsters and found that those who were able to catch up on （补充）sleep at the weekend were far less likely to get body weight problems. Scientists have also found a link between lack of sleep and diabetes（糖尿病）. Last year Canadian researchers discovered those who did not get seven or eight hours’ sleep a night were two and a half times more likely to become sick.
1.The underlined word “obese” in the first paragraph may mean ________.
A．quite protective B．very sad
C．very fat D．quite young
2.According to Chinese researchers, if a person who lacks sleep can get more sleep during weekends, ________.
A．he won’t get hungry easily B．he will feel tired all the time
C．there will be little chance of him becoming fat
D．it will be very hard for him to fall asleep at night
3.From the passage we know ________.
A．too little sleep will result in illness besides obesity
B．in the past people didn’t connect sleep with weight
C．fat children must have slept less than 10 hours five years ago
D．most children are unhealthy because of little sleep
4.What would be the best title of the passage?
A．A good night’s sleep helps the development of kids’ brain!
B．Ten hours’ sleep prevents overweight in kids!
C．Children are sleeping much less nowadays!
D．More teenagers get weight problems!
5.Where can you most probably read this passage?
A．In the latest news. B．In a children’s book.
C．In a health magazine. D．In a scientist’s diary.

A new walking, talking robot from Japan which has black hair and a woman’s face that can smile will attend a fashion show. It has trimmed down（减少）to 43kg, but it still hasn’t reached the safety standards required to share the catwalk with human models.
Developers at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, a government-backed organization, said their “cybernetic（全自动控制的）human” wasn’t ready to help with daily housework or work side by side with people—as many hope robots will be able to do in the future.
“In technology, it hasn’t reached that level,” said Hirohisa Hirukawa, one of the robot’s developers. “Even as a fashion model, people in the industry told us she was short and had a rather ordinary figure.”
For now, the 158 cm tall black-haired robot named HRP-4C—whose predecessor（前任）had weighed 58 kg — will mainly serve to draw and entertain crowds. Developers said the robot may be used in amusement parks or to perform human movement, as an exercise instructor, for instance.
HRP-4C was designed to look like an ordinary Japnese woman, although its silver-and-black body reminds people of a space suit. It will appear in a Tokyo fashion show — without any clothes — in a special part just for the robot next week.
The robotic framework（框架）for HRP-4C, without the face and other coverings, will go on sale for about 20 million yen（日元） each. Its programming technology will be made public so other people can come up with fun moves for the robot, the scientists said.
Japan is one of the leading robotics industries in the world, and the government is pushing to develop the industry as a road to growth.
1.What do we know about HRP-4C’s predecessor?
A．It is shorter than HRP-4C . B．It is cleverer than HRP-4C .
C．It is taller than HRP-4C . D．It is heavier than HRP-4C .
2.According to the passage, how many of the following could HRP-4C do?
a． drawing pictures
b. walking and talking
c. doing housework
d. working with people
e. smiling
A．2 B．3 C．4 D．5
3.Which of the following about HRP-4C is TURE?
A．It wears a space suit.
B．Its price is 20 million dollars.
C．It can be used as an exercise instructor.
D．As a fashion model, it has a perfect figure.
4.HRP-4C’s programming technology will be made public to ________.
A．make money B．make new frameworks
C．let other people improve it D．help make new face and coverings
5.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The purpose of making HRP-4C. B．Robotics industry in Japan.
C．A new Japanese robot. D．Japanese and robots.
