根据短文内容，回答问题，并将答案写在相应位置。

Somewhere around puberty (青春期)，a change in the body clock makes it hard for teens to fall asleep as early as they used to.

This shift is natural for teens. But staying up very late can push a teen's body clock out of synchronization (同步) with the natural cycle of light and darkness. It can also make it hard for teens to get out of bed in the morning and bring other problems, too. Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher, says that too little sleep can affect a teen's mood and ability to think or learn.

But just like an alarm clock, the body's biological clock can be reset. In fact, it automatically resets itself every day. How? -by using the blue light entering our eyes-the color of the morning sky. Exposure to morning sunlight is the best to synchronize the body's clock with the Earth's natural 24-hour cycle.

The problem is, teens may have limited exposure to the morning light. Often, they are on a bus or in class during the peak morning hours. So to get morning light, researchers suggest, students should have a morning break-sometime around 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. to go outdoors. Also, they should try to spend a few minutes outside before going to school.

However, for the same reason that blue light is helpful in the morning, it can be disruptive (扰乱性的) to the body clock when eyes meet it at night. Computer screens, TVs and other electronic devices all send some blue light. So their use at night could unknowingly push tired students to stay up even later.

But there is also a simple solution: wearing orange goggles (护目镜). They may look stupid, but they'll block out blue light. Worn in the evening, blue-blocker goggles can protect students from getting the signal that it's daytime when in fact the body should be winding down for sleep.

1.What happens to teens at puberty?

2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

3.According to researchers, how can teens adjust to the natural time cycle in the morning?

4.Why are orange goggles advised to use in the evening?

5.What is the writer's main purpose of writing the passage?

Tricks to Finding the Cheapest Flights

Travel can be a lifesaver. The right vacation at the right time can refresh your body and mind. But ticket prices are sharply on the rise, many have written off travel as too expensive. However, with a few tricks and a little research, there are still lots of great deals to be had on airline tickets.

Early Bird Gets the Deal. Travel experts say that there are certain times of day when more deals are available. Airfares can change three times a day as airlines adjust their prices to fill up flights. Early morning is when the fares tend to be lowest, but it is a good idea to check every five hours to track prices as they change throughout the day. Also, it’s a good idea to check again at 5 pm when the airlines are trying hardest to fill empty seats.

What Wouldn’t a Business Traveler Do? Most business travelers fly on Mondays and Fridays, so Tuesday and Wednesday are the best days. Airlines will usually lower their prices on these days to aggressively try and fill empty seats.

Avoid the Crowds. Fly to popular places at unpopular times. The slowest time of the year for travel is in the Fall between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Again, to try and fill more empty seats, the airlines will lower prices to get people to fly during this time of the year.

Right Place, “Wrong” Time? By flying to popular destinations at unpopular times, you can secure the best prices from travel companies and airlines. Here’s where flexibility in your planning can pay off. Going to the airline websites and planning your vacation around the best ticket prices offered can result in a fun, cost-effective vacation and maybe widen your horizons to a place you might never have considered before.

Package Deals. Many times the best deals on airfare can be found as part of a package rate. Most travel sites have package rates available and they are definitely worth a look. Often times, the entire package (hotel, airfare, rental car, meals, tours ect) is cheaper than just the plane ticket on another site. These deals are especially good on last minute bookings.

1.What is the passage mainly about? (回答词数不超过8个)

___________________________________________________________________

2.When may the airfares be the lowest of the day? (回答词数2个)

___________________________________________________________________

3.When do business travelers usually fly? (回答词数2~4个)

___________________________________________________________________

4.How can you find the cheapest flight tickets if you plan to travel to popular places? (回答词数3个)

___________________________________________________________________

5.What does the entire package include? (回答词数不超过8个)

“Sorry for keeping you waiting. I left my cell phone at home，so I went hack to get it，” Adam said as he apologized to Vicky after arriving an hour late for their first date. Vicky tried to be polite，so she forced a smile and replied，“It’s all right. Let’s order something to eat.”While they were waiting for their food.Vicky discovered that Adam had been checking his cell phone. Just as she got the chance to talk to him·Adam’s cell phone rang and he answered it without delay. He talked continuously and totally ignored his date，who was sitting right next to him. Twenty minutes later, when Adam finally hung up and turned hack to Vicky，he saw nothing but an angry face. “Why don't you date your cell phone?”said Vicky. Then，she stood up and shouted，“Don’t ever call me again!”

We can understand why Vicky was so angry at Adam. In fact, like Adam, many people in modern society can't stand to be separated from their cell phones. With their cell phones, they talk to others, listen to music, check e-mall, and download applications as well as photos. Their dependence on this technological device has become so great that the cell phone is now often considered a necessity rather than a luxury ( 奢侈品). Some people cannot even imagine life without their cell phones. As a result, a psychological(心理学的) phrase known as "disconnect anxiety" was born.

According to psychologists, when these people are not using their phones. they may start to feel uneasy. Some feel socially separated without their cell phone. Others worry about not being able to respond to emergencies in time. Still others are so psychologically influenced by their cell phones that they often believe their phones have been ringing without their knowledge. Those who suffer from disconnect anxiety frequently check their cell phones for any missed calls or messages. In addition, they like to keep in touch with their friends-even just to kill time. What's more, if these heavy cell phone users discover that they have forgotten to bring their cell phones along with them, they will insist on returning home to get their "cells".

It's nice to have a cell phone, and it makes sense, of course,　 to enjoy all the advantages this clever product has brought. However, we need to use it wisely. For example, when we are doing something important, we should turn off our cell phones to concentrate on our work. As for Adam, he had better leave his cell phone at home on his next date with Vicky-if he gets another chance to go out with her!

1.Why was Vicky angry with Adam and asked him not to call her again?

2.How may a person with "disconnect anxiety" feel without the cell phone?

3.What is the author's opinion about using cell phones?

4.Is it necessary for those heavy cell phone users to shorten the time of using cell phones? Why or why not?

Bicycles are very popular around the world today. People ride their bicycles for exercise and enjoyment. In some places, people use a bicycle to get to work. In other places, bicycle riding is a very popular exercise to people who live in cities. But who invented the first bicycle?

In 1791, a Frenchman named Comte de Siverac invented and owned the first bicycle. Mrs. Sivrac rode the bicycle in Paris. The handles(把手) and the seat were wooden. This bicycle was very difficult to move. A rider even had to pick up the front wheel to change direction. Finally, the bicycle had no brakes for stopping or pedals for the feet! Riding a bicycle was a great risk!

In 1817, a German named Baron von Draus de Sauerbrun made the first bicycle better. The seat became more comfortable. The wheel could now change direction. His ride in the forest took only one hour instead of three hours on foot, which surprised people at that time.

Sauerbrun brought this kind of bicycle from Germany to France. Then Denis Johnson, an Englishman, made a bicycle for women. It had spaces for their dresses to hang down. But these bicycles still had no brakes or pedals, and riders often got hurt. These bicycles and the people who rode them were not very popular.

It took another forty-five years for the bicycle to become popular. More than 100 years later, bicycle riding is more popular than ever. In fact, in India and China, there are still many more bicycles than cars.

Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.

For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.

Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reaching Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.

When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things---travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.
