As is often the case, you are trying hard to keep your eyes open in class after a late night doing piles and piles of homework, “1.” You are probably thinking, “ This weekend I’ll make up for all the sleep I have lost.”

2.. Most people think the same way-if you stay in bed longer on Saturdays or Sundays, you will recover your missed sleep during the week.

However, this is not correct.3. Actually, researchers have just discovered that sleeping during the weekend will not do you any good, but rather make you feel more tired on Monday morning.

Our body keeps a clock inside. It tells us when to wake up in the morning and when to feel sleepy at night. But the time on our body clock can be changed once we start taking on different sleeping habits.4.. This may mean on Monday morning we sometimes struggle to get out of bed.

If we decide to get up only 20 minutes or half an hour later, it won’t matter. This is because our body clock can accommodate(顺应) a delay of up to an hour, which means that a short lie-in at weekends is unlikely to have any big effect, we needn’t worry about it at all.5.,

So, what should we do to balance and make up for all the sleep we’ve missed? Scientists say that simply eight hours of sleep would do the trick, not any longer.

A.You are not alone.

B.I need more sleep!

C.Sleep is important for everyone.

D.Sleeping is nothing like paying back money.

E.However, if we sleep longer our sleep becomes less efficient.

F.But delays of up to two hours or more can throw our body out of order.

G.This is why staying in bed for longer than usual might confuse our body clock.

As is often the case, parents are very shocked to discover their children have lied to them for the first time. But new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them.

Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their children’s honesty and this may impair their ability to discover a lie.

The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with almost anything even in the face of the evidence. They say parents suffer from a “truth bias(偏见)” with their own youngsters, but when faced with lies from other people’s children, they have less difficulty telling if a statement is true or not.

Dr Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Canada, said, “The close relationship that parents share with their own children may lead to parents failing to detect their children’s lies. Parents’ truth bias may result in parents being less suspicious of their children, allowing them to successfully cheat them.”

Most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling more believable lies at around the age of four years old. Learning how to lie is considered as a key part of cognitive(认知的) and social development in children. But many parents are shocked when their children start lying to them. In their study, Dr Evans and her colleagues filmed 108 children aged between 8 and 16 as they performed a test after being asked not to look at the answers. They were then asked afterwards if they had looked, with 50 truthfully denying looking, 49 lying about looking and 9 admitting to looking.

Videos of those denying looking were then shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were less able to spot lies told by their own children than by other people’s children.

1.What does the underlined word “impair” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Show. B.Develop. C.Recognize. D.Damage.

2.When lying to their parents, children can’t be easily found because ________.

A.their parents aren’t prepared for the lies

B.their parents can’t notice any of their lies

C.they are very good at hiding their lies

D.they know how to lie to their parents

3.What does Dr Evans want to find about children’s lying?

A.What makes parents lose trust in their children.

B.What causes children to tell lies to their parents.

C.What makes parents fail to see their children’s lies.

D.What affects children’s relations with their parents.

4.What can be inferred from Dr Evans’s study in the last two paragraphs?

A.Parents tend to protect their own children.

B.Lying is a part of children’s development.

C.Children aged 8 to 16 are very likely to tell lies.

D.Parents can easily judge lies told by children of others.

“Keep your eyes on the ball.” That is good advice when you are on the playing field, and good advice for everyday life. “Keep your mind on what’s important,” is the way I’d put it. But people are funny. They think too much about the details.

I had a secretary once. She was very hardworking. I ran a school and people used to call up to enroll for courses. Berry used to get angry at the phone. “If they keep on ringing, I’ll never get my typing done!” she’d shout.

People just don’t see the big picture. One evening, after leaving work, I was sitting next to a man on the train. I was feeling tired. My eyes fell on the paper he had spread out in front of him. You know how you feel to read over someone’s shoulder?

I read the page and leaned back. I guessed I was waiting for him to turn it. After a while, I realized—he wasn’t turning the page. He just kept on reading.

Now if you knew the page he was reading, you’d know that there weren’t many words on the page to read anyway. The layout was mostly pictures. So I turned to the man and said,” You know, you really read very slowly.”

“What do you mean?” he asked. “Well,” I told him, “I read the page in about a minute, and you have taken about ten. And you are still reading. You know,” I went on “If you learned to read faster, you could get more reading done.” He remained silent for a minute or two. “If I read too fast, my paper wouldn’t last me to my station.”

1.The writer wasn’t satisfied with his secretary because ___.

A. she didn’t put first thing first

B. she was too busy

C. she was easy to get angry

D. she couldn’t finish her work on time

2.The train rider read newspaper ___.

A. to take in information　　 B. to enjoy pictures

C. to save time　 D. to kill time

3.The writer thinks that people seem to need a sense of ___.

A. what to read first　　 B. how to read fast

C. what is important　　 D. what is funny

4.The passage is mainly about the writer’s opinion on people’s ___.

A. judgment　　　　　 B. work　　　　　　 C. life　　　　　　　　 D. habits

Bringing up children is hard work, and you are often to blame for any bad behavior of your children. If so, Judith Rich Harris has good news for you. Parents, she argues, have no important long -term effects on the development of the personality of their children. Far more important are their playground friends and neighborhood. Ms. Harris takes to hitting the assumption, which has dominated(支配) developmental psychology for almost half a century.

Ms. Harris's attack on the developmental psychologists’ "nurture" argument looks likely to reinforce(加强） doubts that the profession was already having. If parents matter, why is it that two adopted children, brought up in the same home, are no more similar in personality than two adopted children brought up in separate homes? Or that a pair of identical twins, brought up in the same home, are no more alike than a pair of identical twins brought up in different homes?

Difficult as it is to track the clear effects of parental upbringing, it may be harder to measure the exact influence of the peer(同龄人) group in childhood and adolescence. Ms. Harris points to how children from immigrant homes soon learn not to speak at school in the way their parents speak. But acquiring a language is surely a skill, rather than a characteristic of the sort developmental psychologists hunt for. Certainly it is different from growing up tensely or relaxed, or from learning to be honest or hard -working or generous. Easy though it may be to prove that parents have little impact on those qualities, it will be hard to prove that peers have vastly more.

Moreover, mum and dad surely cannot be ignored completely. Young adults may, as Ms. Harris argues, be keen to appear like their peers. But even in those early years, parents have the power to open doors: they may choose the peers with whom their young associate, and pick that influential neighborhood. Moreover, most people suspect that they come to resemble their parents more in middle age. So the balance of influences is probably complicated. Even if it turns out that the genes they pass on and the friends their children play with matter as much as affection, discipline and good example, parents are not completely off the hook

1.According to Ms. Harris,______.

A．parents are to blame for any bad behavior of their children

B．children's personality is largely shaped by their friends and neighbors

C．nature rather than nurture has a significant effect on children' s personality development

D．parents will affect greatly the children's life in the long run

2.The developmental psychologists think 　　 .

A. children are more influenced by their peers

B. identical twins raised in the same home are different in personality

C. twins raised in two separate families are different in personality

D. upbringing has a less significant effect on children’s personality development

3.According to Paragraph 3, we know that 　　 .

A. it is easier for children to gain a language at home

B. it is harder to follow the effects of parental upbringing

C. immigrant children avoid speaking the same way as their parents at school

D. it is proved that peers have a greater effect on children’s qualities

4.What does the author mean by saying parents are not completely off the look at the end of the passage？

A. Parents should control the situation.

B. Parents should give their way to children.

C. Parents should spend more time on children.

D. Parents should take on their responsibility.
