How much sleep is enough?

To stay in good health, some expert in the US say, adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep. Teenager need nine to ten hours. And pre-school children need more than 10 hours of sleep a night.

Experts say the quality(质量) of our sleep becomes poor as we grow older. This happens because the brain unit that controls sleep begins to weaken slowly as we age.

Experts say the change starts in our 30s. By the time we reach our 50s, a person may have lost 50 percent of their ability to have a restful sleep.

These people have trouble failing and staying asleep through the night. From middle age on, these problems only get worse, and they can have a bad effect on their health.

I’m confused (困惑的) these days. We are taught at home and at school that using violence (暴力) is the least civilized (文明的) way to solve problems. For example, last week I thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach. But I talked with him instead and we came to an agreement. If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards each other in order to win, is it all right?

When two countries disagree, they often fight a war. Why is using violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between countries? Many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but ordinary people, even small children and babies. And refugees (难民) exist, too.

A war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger. Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace. But can you really "make peace" by killing so many people? I don't think bombs can reach people's hearts and change them. Bombs can't create love and caring, and that's what we need in the world. Why do adults use violence so quickly? Why can't they use their wisdom and talk it over?

Adults might say that things are not that easy. But they are the ones that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill. Why don't they act as what they say?

A page from a 12-year-old boy, Joshua's diary

1.At the beach, Joshua　　　　　　　　 .

A.hit his friend in the face

B.won a beautiful toy

C.played with a beautiful shell

D.came to an agreement with his friend

2.Joshua hates wars between countries because 　　　　　　 .

A.he knew little about wars

B.he doesn't understand adults

C.wars create death and refugees

D.wars are not the only way to make peace

3.What's the key to peace in Joshua's opinion?

A.Love and care for each other.

B.Don't use violence so quickly.

C.Stop using bombs in wars.

D.Don't hurt or kill people in wars.

Teachers say the digital age has had a good and a not-so-good influence on the American teenagers. More than 2,000 high school teachers took an online survey.

75 percent of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly good” use for their students' research habits and skills, But 87 percent agreed that these technologies "make the students not have enough attention.” And 64 percent said the technologies “do little to help them in courses.”

Judy Buchanan is a director of the National Writing Project. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. Teachers really like these tools, because they are ways to make some of learning exciting. Young people enjoy using these tools. And the goal is to help them become creative students of meaningful work, and not just that kind of copyist.

But one problem the survey found is that many students don't have a good understanding of how to use the digital knowledge well. In other words, they trust(信任) too much of the information. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to tell whether the online information is good or bad.

Another problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a problem, at all, being-able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the ability of their students to work hard to find answers is becoming weaker. They say students depend too much on search engines (引擎) and do not make enough use, of printed books or research, librarians.

Besides, many teachers are also worried about the problem that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others, instead of using their own abilities.

1.　　　　 of the teachers agreed technologies may stop students from having enough attention.

A.50%　　　　　　　　 B.64%　　　　　　　　　 C. 75%　　　　　　　 D.87%

2. How many problems are mentioned (提及) in the passage'?

A. One　　　　　　　　 B. Two.　　　　　　　　 C. Three.　　　　　　　　 D. Four.

3.Teachers like the digital search tools because they can　　　　　 .

A. make some of learning exciting

B. help students find answers easily

C. tell whether the information is good or not

D. help students copy the work done by others

4.What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage?

A. Digital search tools have quite a lot of advantages.

B. Students don't know how to use the digital search tools.

C. Many teachers are worried about the students' abilities.

D. Students should learn how to use the digital tools in a right way.
