閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項。

It’s a time when school，homework，active social lives and pare-time jobs keep teenagers busy from early in the morning until late at night．They are likely to try to make up for a lack of sleep by “sleeping in” on the weekends．Unfortunately，this causes irregular sleep and actually makes the problem worse．

Most teenagers are not able to fall asleep until late at night．Since many teens aren’t sleepy until around 11 pm．but need to be at school by 7:30 or 8:00 am ．They cannot get enough sleep ．During puberty(青春期)，the biological clock in the brain naturally re-sets to a later time ，and this causes teens to fall asleep later．Then ，when it’s time to get up ，a teen’s body clock is likely to still be producing the night-time hormones ．This makes it hard for them to feel active and energetic in the morning．

A growing body of research suggests that starting high school later improves attendance，achievements and grades．A few years ago in an important study ，test scores on the SAT college entrance exams in Edina，Minnesota jumped more than 100 points on average，when the morning school bell rang an hour later．Unfortunately，most schools are not set up to start later and fail to satisfy teen’s sleep needs．

1.What effect does “sleeping in” on the weekends have on teenagers?

A．Improving their health

B．Weakening their energy

C．Disturbing their biological clock

D．Making up for their hormone loss

2.The study in Minnesota shows that starting morning school one hour later helps to______．

A．make teenagers grow faster

B．change teenagers’ sleep needs

C．do more research on teenagers

D．improve students’ achievements

3.The text helps us to know more about teenagers’______．

A．daytime activities B．sleeping habits

C．mental problems D．studying methods

My students often tell me that they don't have "enough time" to do all their schoolwork.

My reply is often a brief "You have as much time as the president." I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that "not enough time" is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.

Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, "That's irrelevant (無關(guān)的). What's important is the quality of your work." Since then I have had time to think carefully about the "hard worker" dodge (訣竅), and I have come to some conclusions- all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.

If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of "time", which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of "work" during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it's not how hard one works but the quality of the product that's important.

That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone's office: "Don't work harder. Work smarter." There is a lot of sense in that idea.

If you can't get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since "work" for students usually means "homework", the expression "work habits" should be read as "study habits".

Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.

1.From the passage, we know that the author is probably ______.

A. a poet B. an engineer

C. a novelist D. an educator

2.We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still _____.

A. have enough time

B. can meet the president

C. get everything done well

D. should accept the explanation

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The author's students make good use of their time to do all their homework.

B. The author tried to tell the professor that he/she (author) had done a good job.

C. You can't improve the quality of the work if you can't get more time.

D. You'll try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you're a clever student.

4.What's the passage mainly about?

A. Students don't have enough time.

B. No one can get more time.

C. Don't work harder; work smarter.

D. Read better and write better.

My friend Jim was a well-known radio host, who worked at a radio station all his life. All his colleagues knew him about one characteristic: If he’s on-air, he is always wearing a suit and a tie. They laughed at him, saying, “No one ever sees you. Why do you dress like that?” But he always turned that into a joke.

One day Jim was invited to appear on the TV. There was a show for the oldest radio employees. For the first time his fans, who only knew Jim by his voice, would see him. Before the recording of the show, the director came to Jim and asked, “Usually you arrive on time, but today you are 10 minutes late. It’s not terrible, but I still want to know why.”

“You see,” Jim answered, “at the last moment when I was already dressed up, I noticed that I didn't have new socks. For the first time I was invited to the television, and I thought that simply wearing clean socks was not enough. So I needed to go to the store for new socks.”

The director was surprised. He asked, “Why do you need new socks? You could have come without the socks because we will be filming you only over the waist.”

“ You see, to be perfect, I need to feel myself perfect in everything, starting with the shirt and finishing with the pen in my pocket,” Jim said. “And if my socks have holes in them or my shoes are dirty, I’m not spotless anymore. And it may make me less confident.”

1.From Para. 1 we can learn that when Jim is on-air, he______.

A. likes telling jokes

B. behaves strangely

C. always wears the same clothes

D. is careful about his dress

2.Jim was late for the TV show because______.

A. he went to buy new socks

B. he didn’t like to be filmed

C. he had to clean his clothes

D. he was too nervous

3.For Jim, being perfect in everything ______.

A. brings him success

B. makes him popular

C. gives him confidence

D. is difficult but necessary

A

5 Secrets of Web Travel Sites

Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient，but comes with its own set of problems．

1．They know who's on a Mac and who's on a PC and who's going to spend more．

Last year，US travel research company Orbitz tracked people's online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users．On average，Mac users lay out US$20?30 more per night on hotels and go for more stars，according to the Wall Street Journal．As a result，online travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first．To avoid inadvertently paying more，sort results by price．

2．Their software doesn't always hook up to the hotel's system．

A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere—but the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third?party providers．The middle?man's software isn't immune to system errors，so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed．

3．Don't be fooled by packages: Often，they're low?end items grouped together．

Ever notice how travel sites recommend a hotel，a rental car，and tour package all in one click? These deals usually feature travel that no one wants，like flights with multiple layovers．Check the fine print．

4．You could miss out on loyalty points．

Third?party providers can get between you and frequent flyer miles or points．Many hotel loyalty programmes don't recognise external sites，others award only minimum points and exclude special offers，like double points on hotel stays．

5．Once your trip is purchased，you're on your own．

An online travel agency can't provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard．Basically，when you arrive at the airport or hotel，you're just another client who booked at the lowest rate．

1.Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Third?party providers can ensure your reservation．

B．Mac users are likely to spend more money than PC users．

C．An online travel agency functions the same as an agent．

D．Packages usually provide travelers with satisfactory programmes．

2.What's the purpose of the passage?

A．To encourage readers to book a trip on an online travel site．

B．To make an advertisement about several travel sites online．

C．To convince readers not to book a trip on an online travel site．

D．To warn readers of some problems with booking trips online．
