Researchers say that nearly two thirds of children don't get enough sleep, and this can make them nervous and slower at school. So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you don't get enough sleep at night, you'll have less energy the next day.

A report shows that children sleep less because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents don't read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional "bedtime story" helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms were more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than eight hours' sleep. Even losing one hour's sleep a night can mean that children do worse than usual at school.

British scientists think that your brain keeps working while you're asleep. To show that they were right, they have done an experiment. They gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. You want to know the result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly. Researchers explained that their brains were trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, 'and you'll be at your best tomorrow !

If you travel around the world, you will be surprised to find that some foreign customs can be so different from your own.

A visitor to India would remember that people there think it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is used for washing yourself. Also in India, 'when you see a man shaking his head, you may think he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a shake of the head shows agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to say "yes'--a nod means "no". The Arabs are famous for their hospitality(好客). At a meal in the Arabic countries, you will find that any drinking vessel(器皿) is filled again and again as soon as you drain it. The way to show that you have had enough is to take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.

In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could make him or her unhappy. It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand you are not supposed to touch the head of an adult-- it's just not done. In Japan, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainment for themselves and leave their wives at home. In Europe such attitudes are disappearing.

Customs differ from country to country. Visitors may be at a loss as to what to do in a foreign environment. Remember the rule: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

1.In which country a left-hand is not welcomed?

A. Thailand. B. India. C. Japan. D. Bulgaria.

2.In many parts of India, if someone shakes his head at another, it shows that he

A. agrees B. disagrees C. refuses D. shocks

3.Which of the following is NOT polite in Europe?

A. To cross your legs.

B. To touch the head of an adult.

C. To drain the glass in your hand.

D. Men planning evening entertainment, leaving their wives at home.

4.If you don~t know the customs in another country, the golden rule to follow is

A. to do in your own way B. to do nothing

C. to visit home only D. to do as the natives do

科目：初中英語 來源：江西省景德鎮(zhèn)市2016-2017學(xué)年八年級(jí)（1）班下學(xué)期期末考試英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

My first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages via the telephone for a well-known company. One day, I was put through to a man who sounded a bit out of breath. I started with my normal pitch (音高), expecting to hear the normal reply —"I don’t want any."

Instead, he spoke in a faint, weak voice and told me how he wished to take a vacation I was offering, but he couldn’t because he was dying of illness. He explained how he was lacking in oxygen then, and it took almost all his energy to answer the call. He asked if I smoked, which I did, and begged me to stop. He told me smoking was what was killing him. He told me to spend every day with my loved ones, and tell them how much I love them. At this point, I couldn’t control myself. We ended the call, but I held on my phone to prevent another call coming in so I could collect myself.

I wrote down his name and address, and sent him a card appreciating his advice and praying for him and his family. Shortly after, I received a letter from Frank, along with a picture of him and his wife. We continued to write back and forth over the next few months, and became very fond of each other. He was old enough to be my grandfather, and in many ways, I felt as if he was.

About a year later I received a letter from his wife. When I started to read, tears came to my eyes. She told me how Frank’s battle with the disease had finally come to an end, and he passed away shortly before the Christmas. She wanted to thank me for the letters to Frank, and explained how Frank touched many lives over the years. At his funeral, to show just that, they read the 1st letter I had written to Frank to show how he affected a 19-year-old he’d never met.

1.The underlined part "collect myself" in the second paragraph probably means "______".

A. gather together B. comfort myself

C. relax myself D. calm down

2.We can learn from the text that the author ________.

A. took down Frank’s name and address to visit him in person

B. was warmly welcomed by her customers when she called them

C. didn’t stop smoking even though Frank asked him to

D. kept in touch with Frank through letters until he died

3.At Frank’s funeral the author’s 1st letter to Frank was read in order to ____.

A. encourage people to fight against disease and live bravely

B. indicate that Frank touched many people’s hearts

C. show the good relationship between Frank and the author

D. praise Frank and give thanks to the author
