More and more people think it necessary to study in an English-speaking country and it didn’t take long at all for me to decide to come and study in UK.
Having been in the school for 2 months, I’m getting used to school life, and I am starting to make the most of my time in here. School starts at 9 o’clock every morning, and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we have long days, in which we have 9 lessons and school finishes at 4 o’clock. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays we have short days, in which we have only 6 lessons and finish at 1 o’clock. After lessons, we have two hours of activity time, when you can choose from a wide range of activities, including all the major sports, such as rugby and football, and also the minor sports such as basketball and tennis.
As a boarder( 寄宿者)，the quality of food is something I consider very important, and Merchiston has not let me down. The school kitchens are run by a professional food company, and the quality of food is very excellent and also they take the healthy diet very seriously: I remember once I was once asked to take more salad for my meal by a member of the kitchen staff(员工) for I didn’t have enough vegetables. This brings another point of being a boarder: you need to learn how to look after yourself and be responsible(负责) for yourself. One of the huge advantages of being a boarder is that we can have breakfast in the school, which means we don’t have to pull ourselves out of bed as early as the day pupils!
1.The passage mainly tells us about _______.
A．the author’s school life in the UK as a boarder.
B．the author’s opinion of the school life in the UK.
C．the differences in school life between China and UK.
D．the boarder life in a Britain middle school.
2.According to the second paragraph, we can learn that the author _________ .
A．has not enough time to study B．likes to play tennis and basketball
C．went to the school two months ago D．finishes school at 4 o’clock
3.How many lessons do the students have every week in this school?
A．15 B．45 C．27 D．18
4.The underlined words “let me down” in the last paragraph means _______.
A．made me disappointed B．made me pleased C．encouraged me D．amazed me
5.As a boarder in the school, the author ___________ .
A．is not used to the food there B．has learned to have healthy diets

The bed should be used as a place for sleep, but more and more people like to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep.
Charles Czeisler, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and his coworkers got a small group of people for an experiment. For five days in a row, these people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep. Their sleep patterns were monitored all night. Before and after each trial period, they took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin(褪黑激素) was in their blood at any time.
When the people read the iPad as compared to the paper books, they felt less sleepy at night and less active the following morning. People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion(分泌) was delayed by an hour and a half.
The researchers concluded that because of the rise of e-readers and the widespread use of e-things among children and teenagers, more research into the "long-term influence of these e-things on health and safety is urgently needed." Czeisler and coworkers went on, in the research paper, to point out that reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk.
However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers, and there are also glasses that are made to reduce short wavelengths. While they seem like a logic solution for the nighttime tech users, it needs more research.
1.In Charles Czeisler's experiment, the group of people were asked to_______.
A.sit in a row and receive the strict tests
B.have their sleep patterns observed all night
C.read a paper book and an iPad before sleep
D.have their blood tested per hour during the trial
2.The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to_______.
A.feel less sleepy and tired in the day
B.fall asleep more easily after reading
C.become less energetic the next morning
D.have a lot more melatonin secretion
3.The special software recently developed can _______.
A.reduce the blue light from the screens completely
B.help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelengths
C.reduce the harm caused by doing nighttime e-reading
D.be used in all the e-things widely and safely
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.No e-reading in bed before sleep
B.New software for night e-readers
C.Wrong things to do before bedtime
D.No games on iPad in bed

Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
1.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge
B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information
C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun
D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself
2.What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph “Television has not killed reading, however.” suggest?
A. People only need reading, though.
B. Reading is more fun than television.
C. Reading is still necessary today.
D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.
3.Where can you probably see this passage?
A. In a travel booklet.
B. In a science report.
C. In a fashion show magazine.
D. In an education book review.
