I was not having a happy holiday. My family had decided to go back to the countryside in New Hampshire, US, again. But I found it boring.

“Why does the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side!”
That’s an old joke in the west, but it came to my mind again when I saw people crossing the road at the intersection of Shaanxi Road and Huaihai Road in Shanghai.
When the traffic light was red, a group of people were waiting for the light to change. Suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road. Soon others followed him at the crossing and more people did the same. Just like chickens, they didn’t mind the honking horns(喇叭聲) and kept crossing the road in a mess.
Every year several thousand people are either killed or hurt on the roads in Shanghai. And at least one third of them were jaywalking(亂穿馬路). Jaywalking is very common in Shanghai. It seems that jaywalkers are not afraid of the danger to themselves.
Traffic laws are to keep people safe. So we should obey them, and have good road-crossing habits. When someone starts to jaywalk, we should stop him, and never follow him. That way we can avoid the traffic accidents.
【小題1】The underlined word “intersection” here probably means “       ”.

A.road B.bridge
C.crossing D.traffic
【小題2】The writer saw people      in Shanghai that day.
A.crossing the road in a mess
B.waiting for the green light patiently
C.crossing the road with chickens
D.hurting each other in the street
【小題3】How does the writer like what he saw in Shanghai that day?
A.He thinks it’s OK.
B.He thinks it’s wrong.
C.He has no idea of it.
D.He doesn’t mention it

(1)I was only an 11-year-old girl when my parents told me that we would soon move to America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear(忍受)the thought of never hearing the radio program for school children again which I listened to every morning.
In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I even felt a little excited because I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.
The first four years in America taught me the importance of optimism(樂觀), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools and I (2)________most of my time(2)_________learning the English language.I hardly had any time for fun. Sometimes I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried(再婚), and things became even harder for me. It took me some time to get used to my stepfather(繼父). I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”
I had to do many things for the family since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated(翻譯)all kinds of information and took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there.
Luckily, things got better and better later and almost all common troubles went away at last  From those experiences I have learned one important rule: Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little!

March 16th is World Sleep Day. This year’s slogan (標(biāo)語) is “Breathe Easily, Sleep Well”. Its aim is to celebrate the benefits (好處) of good and healthy sleep.
Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.
But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake all night.
These sleeping problems greatly affect people’s lives. Experts have shown that lack of sleep for teenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, the lack of sleep may make them depressed (沮喪的).
Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time each night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold.
【小題1】If Li Hong is 15 years old, how much sleep does she need every night?

A.10-12 hours.B.8-9 hours.
C.7 hours.D.Less than 7 hours.
【小題2】What might happen if teens don’t get enough sleep?
A.They might not be able to finish their schoolwork.
B.Their bodies and brains might grow better.
C.They might do well in sports.
D.They might feel depressed.
【小題3】The underlined word “insomnia” means “_______” in Chinese.
A.健忘癥B.肥胖癥
C.多動癥D.失眠癥
【小題4】 Which is NOT a reason why so many students don’t get enough sleep?
A.They cannot pay attention in class.
B.They have too much homework to do.
C.They have to get up very early to go to school.
D.They have sleeping problems.
