Have you ever thought of such questions as “Why do I have to study math?”or “I am not interested in history at all. My dream is to be an actor. Should I give up history?”

Maybe you are right. After you leave school, it’s not necessary for you to understand everything. But please remember that at school, besides getting knowledge, you should pay attention to some other important things.

First, try to find what you are most interested in. At school, you study many subjects. Try to find what you like and what you don’t like. This may be helpful to you in the future.

Second, maybe you don’t like math and you want to drop it. But the logical thinking ability from math can help you solve some problems. At school, you should practice your brain by thinking.

Third, you should believe in yourself. Maybe you learn French at school, but you don’t need to speak French at all. But learning French can prove that you have the ability of learning languages. Suppose you go to France one day and find a good job well. At school I learned French well, and now I must be able to learn German. But if you have no confidence, what will happen?

Try to challenge yourself as often as possible. I think many of us like playing computer games. When we fail in a game, we always want to try it again. Why? Because it is hard for us to get the highest mark. If we want to challenge ourselves, we must face more difficult things and make greater progress.

1.At school you should______________　　　　 .

A. stop learning the subjects you don’t like

B. both get knowledge and improve your ability

C. pay more attention to math and French

D. learn French instead of English

2.Math can improve one’s_______________.

A. logical thinking ability　　 B. skills in computer

C. interest in other subjects　　 D. ability of finding a job

3.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. You will use everything you learn at school in your future job.

B. It’s not necessary to know what you like at school.

C. Everything you learn at school has an influence　 on you.

D. Logical thinking ability is the most important　 ability.

4.Learning French can help us ___________　　 .

A. have confidence in learning languages　　 B. go to France

Are you short-sighted? If you are, your parents might have tried to do something to fix it, such as having you get an eye massage(按摩), take medicine or even get surgery(手术). People who offer these services or products often say that they can reduce or even cure short sight.

However, you will no longer see advertisements like this before long. The government has issued a notice to ban(禁止) businesses from using words like “recovery" or "short sight cure" in their advertisements.

The notice says that short sight cannot be completely cured with current medical technology. Therefore, these advertisements could mislead children and their parents.

Young people can prevent and control short sight by spending more time outside and less time in front of books or computers. People who have sight problems should first go to a hospital and let a doctor decide what to do.

More than 450 million Chinese have suffered from short sight since June 2018. Short sight rates are around 30 percent for primary school students, 60 percent for junior high school students and 80 percent for senior high school students. This is likely because students spend a lot of time reading books and using electronic devices.

To reduce short sight among young people, the government made a new plan last August. The plan is designed to limit the amount of time children spend playing video games, as well as limit the production of new video games.

1.Some people say that they can cure short sight to _________.

A. show off their high-leveled skills B. sell more products and services

C. share their medical technology D. prove that eye massages are useful

2.Advertisements with the word "__________“ will be banned by the government.

A. recovery B. eyesight C. short sight D. surgery

3.If you have a sight problem, you should ___________ first.

A. get surgery B. get an eye massage

C. take some medicine D. ask a doctor for advice

4.According to this passage, which group has the highest short sight rate?

A. Primary school students. B. Junior high school students,

C. Senior high school students. D. College students.

5.From the last two paragraphs, we can know that _________.

A. students should be stopped from using mobile phones

B. students in lower grades are more likely to get short sight

C. production of new video games will be limited

D. a law was made to protect the eyesight of people

Are you having a problem going to sleep? Have you tried many ways such as drinking a glass of warm milk or listening to some soft music or counting sheep but it still does not work? Cooling down your brain may be a great way to help you get good sleep.

A new study has found that you might fall asleep quicker if you try cooling down your brain. Daniel and Eric from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School led the study. They examined twelve people who had insomnia. The other twelve had no problems in sleeping. Each of them wore a cap on their heads at bed time.

The caps had tubes (管) inside filled with water. The researchers moved the water through the tubes and then changed the temperature of the water. People had trouble sleeping (called “patients” in the following parts of the passage) often had more chemical reactions (化学反应) in their brains. The researchers thought lowering the temperature of the head might help.

On the first two nights of testing, the patients wore no water caps. During the next two nights, the caps were worn, but the water was not cooled. Then the researchers cooled the water a little for another two nights. On the final two nights of the study, the temperature of the water was made much cooler.

The situation of the insomnia did not become better until the temperature was about 14ºC. Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their heads.

This is the only beginning of the head temperature study. But they believe they have discovered something important that needs more research.

1.A new study to help people fall asleep quicker is _________.

A. counting sheep　　 B. listening to soft music

C. cooling down your brain　　 D. drinking a glass of warm milk

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “insomnia”?

A. 抑郁症.　　 B. 失眠症.　　 C. 自闭症.　　 D. 头痛.

3.According to the passage, the test lasts for _________ nights.

A. 12　　 B. 10　　 C. 8　　 D. 6

4.Insomnia patients became better when _________.

A. the water was cooled about 14ºC　　 B. The caps were filled with water

C. the water was not cooled　　 D. the water caps were worn on their heads

Do you remember your dreams? Do people have the same dreams? Why do I dream?

There are many questions about dreams. We dream during the REM (快速眼动) stage of sleep. We have about five periods of REM sleep during the night. The first REM cycle (周期) lasts about 10 minutes. As the night goes on, the REM cycle gets longer. By early morning, the REM cycle can last up to 90 minutes. Usually, it is in this last REM cycle that we remember our dreams.

Dreams change as people age. People may have several dreams each night. Some are like films and usually in color. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something and trying to find the answer. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can’t remember the dreams clearly.

It is reported that too much dreaming is bad for our health. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work. That is why we may have a long sleep and still feel tired when we wake up.

Do you feel a little sleepy after lunch? Well, that’s normal. Your body naturally slows down then. What should you do about it? Don’t drink coffee, take a nap, instead. There are many advantages of a daily nap. First of all, you can remember things better and make fewer mistakes. Also, you can learn things more easily after taking a nap. A 20-minute nap can reduce your pressure. Finally, a nap can make you cheerful.

But, there are some simple rules you should follow about taking a nap. First, take a nap at noon, about eight hours after you wake up. In general, a 20-minute nap is the best. If you sleep longer, you may fall into a deep sleep. After waking up, you will feel worse. Also, you should set an alarm clock. That way, you can fully relax during the nap. You don’t have to keep looking at the clock so that you don’t oversleep. Now, next time you feel sleepy after lunch, don’t get stressed. Put your head down, close your eyes and take a nap.

1.According to the article, which of the following is true?

A. People always ask questions in their dreams.

B. People never dream in their last REM cycle.

C. The first REM cycle is the shortest of the five.

D. It’s impossible for people to remember their dreams.

A. Because they are worried about something.

What’s the most important thing in your life? Have you thought about this question?

I began to think about it when I was just a little girl. I had a lot of friends and I loved playing with them. So I thought friendship was the most important thing in life. If I had no friends, I would be very sad.

When I got older, I thought the most important thing was music. I was crazy about music at that time. In my opinion, if I couldn’t sing or couldn’t listen to music, my life would be meaningless.

As time went by, I changed my mind again. When I was 12, I read a book that tells a beautiful story about the love between a mother and her child. I was happy to find that love was the most important thing. I thought love made my life beautiful.

Not long ago, I got a new answer to the question from another book. The writer said, “happiness is the destination for everyone.”

Soon I realized that, in fact, friendship, music, love and happiness are all very important to us. There are many important things that make our lives colourful and beautiful.

What’s the most important thing in life? I don’t have the answer yet. However, in fact, I don’t want to know. I just want to care about everything important in my life. And I believe I will be very happy if I can achieve that.

I hope everyone can find the important things in their lives, and cherish them!
