A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlors(客厅) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.

This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.

There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies — a disease with no known cure.

Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the "sweet little thing" has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on "Rover" or "Bonzo". Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run free. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone's pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.

Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it's time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say, “keep cutting!”

1.The doggy parlors are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show ________.

A. where Americans keep their pets

B. what costly lives the pets are living

C. why children love their pets so much

D. how much pets depend on their masters

2.In the second paragraph "to get hot under the collar" probably means ________.

A. getting quite hot　　 　　 B. feeling overwhelmingly angry

C. becoming excited　 　　　　 D. receiving a fashionable shirt

3.According to the author, in which field can animals be most useful?

A. Pet.　 　　 B. Food.　 　　 C. Medicine.　 　 D. Sports.

4.What is author’s attitude towards pets-raising?

A. Pitiful.　 　　 B. Neutral.　 　 C. Opposed.　 　 D. Supportive.

Baekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.

In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist(不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates.

　When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.

　The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic(疯人).

　The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally robbed of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.”

　Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.

1. According to the report,______.

　A. many short sleepers need less sleep by nature

　B. many short sleepers are forced to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy

with their work

　C. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day

　D. many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood

2. Many “short sleepers” are likely to hold the view that _____.

　A. sleep is a withdrawal from the reality

　B. sleep interferes with their sound judgment

　C. sleep is the least expensive item on their routine program

　D. sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles

3.It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers _____.

　A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of life

　B. often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleep

　C. do not know how to relax properly

　D. are more unlikely to run into mental problems

4. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might ____.

　A. appear disturbed                     B. become energetic

　C. feel dissatisfied                        D. be extremely depressed

A new report from the U.K. says that more than 1 in 5 teens there spend five hours or more per day on social media. And the heavier users of social media go to bed later and get poorer quality sleep. The new study was based on self-reported survey data from nearly 12,000 teenage participants in the U.K. Millennium Cohort Study.

Megan Moreno, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says that social media　 is too often described as either entirely good or bad, when the reality is more complicated for teens. "Social media may have its problems, but it is the way that they stay in touch with each other," she says.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the study found a link between high social media usage and poor sleep patterns. Specifically, teens who report heavier social media use go to sleep later. And, the study authors note, late bedtimes are linked with poorer academic and mental health outcomes.

Holly Scott, a researcher at the University of Glasgow, isn't sounding the alarm. She says,　 "it's easy to look at the results of this and think, 'We should just get teenagers to spend less time on social media.' I think that's an understandable response, but what I really encourage people to do is look beyond that." She says people should pay attention to the "important emotional and cognitive and social factors" at play with when teenagers are using social media.

Scott emphasizes that the study is pointing to a correlation between social media and poor sleep, but not necessarily demonstrating cause and effect.

"Certainly some teens do say that they struggle to get off of social media at night — they might be worried about missing out on things, or affecting their friends by not answering　 messages — and they stay up late from that," she says. But, "maybe for some of those young people they have a naturally later body clock, and are passing their free time at night on social media until they're ready to fall asleep," she says.

1.What’s the purpose of the new study in the U.K.?

A.To find the benefits of using social media.

B.To know the effects of using social media.

C.To know teenagers’ habits of using social media.

D.To prove the growing popularity of social media.

2.What attitude does Megan Moreno take towards social media?

A.Critical.

B.Positive.

C.Objective.

D.Confused.

3.What does Holly Scott think of social media’s causing poor sleep?

A.It’s interesting.

B.It’s impossible.

C.It’s beyond doubt.

D.It lacks evidence.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.How to Sleep Well Tonight

B.Social Media Is Wasting Our Time

C.Teens May Be Losing Sleep Over Social Media

D.Make Use of Social Media in an Effective Way
