【題目】Once there was an English prince called Henry. He liked to study languages, but smiles never came on his face. His father, the king tried to make him happy in every possible way. Yet the young prince was not happy.

One day the king had an interview with a man named Sir Arthur. Sir Arthur told the king, “I have a method to make Prince Henry happy, but you have to send him to the countryside”. At first, the king refused. But Sir Arthur insisted on taking the prince to the country. Finally, the king agreed.

Prince Henry and Sir Arthur went to Sir Arthur’s house. His big yard was divided into two parts— inside yard and outside yard, and the outside yard was a big garden with a flowerbed. Sir Arthur told Henry, “Do you know my flowerbed can talk, and it has a secret?” The prince thought it very strange. Sir Arthur went on, “It tells the secret only to those who watch it every day. If you learn the secret, you will be happy.”

Prince Henry looked, but there was no flower, not even a leaf upon it. Then he circled the flowerbed every day. Even when a storm came, he didn’t go inside, so he caught a cold.

Many days passed. The flowerbed was wet, and the warm sun shone upon it. At last, one fine morning, he saw tiny plants coming up.

Day after day he saw that these plants made lines, and that the lines formed some letters. He thought about the spelling and tried to translate them into his own language. At last, he got it: DO SOMETHING GOOD TO SOMEONE EVERY DAY.

Besides trade, knowledge about arts, science and literature, as well as crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.

Maybe you know that English is the most wide used language in the world and Chinese is speaking by the largest numbers of people in the world. But there is another common language in our world. All the people, men and women, old and young use them. It's everybody's “second language". It is the language with words. You can't hear it but it is easy be understood.

When you puts your finger in the front of your mouth, you mean “Keep quiet, please”. That's the “Sign Language”.

【題目】Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there’s too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.

Preview—if it’s long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.

Here’s how to preview.

◆Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.

◆Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.

Previewing doesn’t give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don’t really want or need to read.

Skim—if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper.

Here’s how to skim.

◆Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.

◆Pick up only a few key words in each line.

Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but we’ll get a similar idea of what it’s all about.

【1】How many skills are given in this passage?

A. One., B. Two., C. Three., D. Four.

【2】What does the underlined word “preview” mean in Chinese?

A. 精讀, B. 默讀, C. 朗讀, D. 略讀

【3】What should we NOT do when we read sports news in a daily paper according to the passage?

A. Read the last two paragraphs carefully.

B. Get our eyes to move fast.

C. Sweep our eyes across each line.

D. Pick up only a few key words in each line.

【4】Which of the following is WRONG?

A. Skim means reading quickly. It’s a good way to read.

B. There are a lot of ways for you to read more in less time.

C. By previewing you can get all the details of the passage.

D. People can spend less time doing more reading.

【5】What is the best title for this passage?

A. How to read faster, B. What to read

C. When to read, D. Why we should read

【題目】In our increasingly fast-paced world, most adults do not get the 8-10 hours of sleep every night. Things are even worse for those with young children. A recent study showed that about 26% of parents in the United Kingdom get less than 5 hours of sleep every night. To make tired adults relax for a while, David Lloyd Clubs, a chain of gyms and fitness centers in the UK, has introduced a napping (小睡) class is called “Nap-Ercise”.

As the name suggests, the hour-long group class, as a way to “reinvigorate (使再振作) the mind and improve moods”, does not have any exercise. Instead, clients (顧客) are guided through 15 minutes of light stretching (拉伸) to help them relax. Then, they are encouraged to cuddle (依偎) under the blankets of a comfortable bed, cover their eyes with an eye mask, and take a nap for 45 minutes. With music playing and the room set to the perfect temperature, clients can have the best possible sleep. The class is currently being offered at just one place. If popular, they will be given to more other David Lloyd Clubs.

Although the class sounds like a marketing plan, there might be some science behind it. According to a study done at the Allegheny College in Pennsylvania, participants who took a 45-minute nap in the middle of their day not only help them feel well-rested, but also deal with stress better than those who didn’t. And a different study from the University of California at Berkeley showed that a 45-minute nap in the middle of the day helps to improve learning abilities.

【1】The purpose of offering the napping class is to _________.

A. give the tired people a chance to relax

B. give the homeless people a room to take a nap

C. help the people who aren’t able to sleep fall asleep

D. let people make more friends in the napping class

【2】What does the last passage talk about?

A. Some studies about the napping class.

B. The advantages of taking a nap.

C. Something that should be noticed during a nap.

D. How long people should spend taking a nap.

【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. More than a quarter of adults in the UK sleep less than 5 hours.

B. A napping class will last for about an hour.

C. The class only offers blankets, a bed, and relaxing music to clients.

D. There will be the napping class in more David Lloyd Clubs.

【4】What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Group napping classes for tired clients.

B. Why people need to take a nap.

C. The different ideas about taking a nap.

D. The science behind taking a nap.
