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.

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows’ milk harvested at different times has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.
1.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk __________.
A. started sleep more easily.
B. were less active.
C. were more anxious.
D. woke up later.
2.Which of the following is TRUE of melatonin according to the text?
A. It’s used in sleeping drugs.
B. It exists in milk in great amount.
C. It can make people more energetic.
D. It’s been tested on mice for ten years.
3.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Milk Drinking and Health
B. Fat, Sugar and Health
C. An Experiment on Mice
D. Night Milk and Sleep
4.How does the author support the theme of the text?
A. By giving examples.
B. By providing research results.
C. By explaining statistical data.
D. By stating arguments.

Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However, I believe that five is the best age to learn. By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. It's wise to be afraid to recognize true danger. Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.
To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn as soon as possible, these four basic strokes; butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and crawl. I feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally, without any training.
In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow:
1. Never swim alone! No matter how good you are in the water, don't risk drowning(溺死) by swimming alone. If you swim by yourself, with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into trouble.
2. Don’t go beyond your abilities. Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach. Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is not good.
Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive.
3. Don’t smoke. Swimming depends on a healthy body; good lungs are part of it.
4. Work at any activity that builds muscles.
1. Little children can learn to swim as soon as _____.
A. they can talk B .they start walking
C. they have no fear of the water D. they are five or six years old
2.The author believes that swimming beyond your abilities is_____.
A. good B. sensible C. dangerous D. smart
3.According to the passage, you should not swim alone because_____.
A. the water is too cold
B. your parents would not be happy
C. something in the water might attack
D. you might drown
