You’ve given up your fair share of sleep- will you ever feel rested again?

Let’s do some sleep math. You lost two hours of sleep every night last week because of a big project due on Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, you slept in, getting four extra hours. On Monday morning, you were feeling so bright-eyed, and you only had one cup of coffee, instead of your usual two. But don’t be cheated by your energy: You’re still carrying around a heavy load of sleepiness, or what experts call “sleep debt”—in this case something like six hours, almost a full night’s sleep.

Sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep you should be getting and the amount you actually get. It’s a deficit (缺乏) that grows every time we skim some extra minutes off our nightly sleep. “People accumulate sleep debt gradually without being noticed,” says psychiatrist William C. Dement, founder of the Stanford University Sleep Clinic. Studies show that such short-term lack of sleep leads to a foggy brain, worsened vision, and trouble remembering. Long-term effects include obesity, and heart disease. A survey by the National sleep Foundation reports that we’re losing one hour of sleep each night—— more than two full weeks of sleep each year.

The good news is that, like all debt, with some work, sleep debt can be repaid. Adding an extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to catch up. For the long-term lack of sleep, take it easy for a few months to get back into a natural sleep pattern.

Go to bed when you are tired, and expect to have ten hours’ shut-eye per night. As the days pass, however, the amount of sleeping time will gradually decrease.

So earn back that lost sleep—and follow the orders of your inner sleep needs, and you’ll feel better. “When you put away sleep debt, you become superhuman,” says Stanford’s Dement, talking about the improved mental and physical capabilities that come with being well rested.

53. The example of sleep math is used to show ______.

A. in what case you build up a sleep debt.

B. why you need six hours’ sleep every night.

C. why you are full of energy even when you don’t have enough sleep.

D. you should drink coffee to keep energetic.

54. The author begins Paragraph 3 with ______.

A. an example B. a definition C. an order D. a story

55. By saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph, Dement means__________.

A. a superman always needs a lot of sleep.

B. You can become superman after you repay your debt.

C. you will be in a good state with enough sleep.

D. you will become superhuman if you don’t make up for sleep debt.

56. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A. How can you keep energetic? B. Can you have a good sleep?

C. What is sleep debt? D. Can you catch up on lost sleep?

E

Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, but the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or built a sea boat, or calculated the length of the year, or planted crops; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world, you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages (野蛮人); therefore to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently----this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done----is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of setting their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that side which has killed most has won. And not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that Might is Right.

That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or disabled. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets----while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life----nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.

57. In the first sentence, the author say that .

A. most history books were written by conquerors and generals and soldiers.

B. Those who helped civilization forward is mentioned in any history books.

C. History books tell us far more about conquerors and generals and soldiers than actual creators of civilization.

D. conquerors and generals and soldiers should not be mentioned in history books.

58. Most people believe that the greatest countries are .

A. those that built the highest pillars

B. those that were beaten in battle by the greatest number of other countries

C. those that were ruled by the greatest number of conquerors

D. those that won the greatest number of battles against other countries

59. The author agrees that civilized people .

A. should not have any quarrels to settle

B. should not fight when there are no quarrels to settle

C. should settle their quarrels without fighting

D. should settle their quarrels by seeing which side can kill off the greatest number of the other side

60. The underlined words Might is Right means .

A. Those who have won the battle are right and the losers are wrong

B. those who are powerful should go to war

C. those who are right should fight against those who are wrong

D. in a war, only those who are powerful will win

I. Putting Ideas into Words (EL991-1A )

Here’s a challenge: what if writing could be more than just throwing words on a page?

In this course, you’ll learn not only about different writing styles, but also about writing as a means of figuring out a problem and communicating your thought process to the world.

This week-long workshop will explore the balance between self-expression and effective communication, offering a unique view into the world of academia (学术界). Comments will be given to students and you’ll make great progress in your writing if you take this course! High School as a Social Laboratory:

An Introduction to Sociology (SO902-3B)

In this class, we’ll learn about broad sociological theories, but we’ll discuss those theories in relation to what sociologists have done before studying American high schools and youngsters. We’ll explore the issues such as gender, race, class, and violence in society at large, and the ways in which American high schools reflect those social issues. We’ll watch films and documentaries, such as “Mean Girls” and “Bowling for Columbine”, that make these connections, and you’ll write papers making these connections for yourself based on your own experiences.

C D

II. Children’s Thinking (BI911-1B)

This course will introduce students to children’s thinking. It will explore the ever-changing views on cognitive (认知的), social and language development from newborns to middle childhood. Specific topics include: What do babies know about objects, numbers, categories and people? Why is language learning easier for children? What can we learn from children with developmental disorders?

Through lectures, discussions, projects and in-class activities, students will gain an understanding of how scientists study children’s thinking. III. Creative Writing Workshop (EL905-4A )

This course will excite young writers with many tools and approaches to the writing process in either fiction or poetry. It will inspire you to experiment with new writing techniques, such as how to describe a person, a scene, or a situation, etc. It is just for students who have a serious interest in creative writing, who are not afraid to experiment with structure, and who want to develop a daily writing practice. In the group writing classes, students will have the opportunity to explore both genres (体裁) whether enrolled in the poetry or fiction workshop.

E F

IV. The Secrets of Learning and Memory (BN901-3A)

Individual memory abilities vary greatly. There are famous people with strong memories who can remember 5,000 playing cards in exact sequence, and others who cannot store any long-term memories, where each morning is a strange new world. And you may wonder how the brain manages to identify and sort memories into different types, then keep them from 5 seconds to a lifetime, waiting for a signal to recall them in great detail.

Students completing this exciting course will gain useful knowledge of how the brain learns, remembers and forgets. V. Persuasive Communication (TA905-1A)

This course will introduce you to the arts of organization, style, and delivery to help make you a more confident and persuasive public speaker. You will deliver speeches to your classmates and receive detailed comments from both the teacher and one another. Lectures on developing outlines, coping with speaker anxiety, and making effective use of visual aids will help you improve your skills in public speaking. Building on these skills, the later part of the course will teach you how to prepare a persuasive message based on your individual interests and goals.

书面表达 (30分) One possible student version:

I am Li Ming of Senior Three, Guangming Middle School.I am writing to tell you about some symptoms of anxiety among us students before exams.

Most of us feel nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam.Some will feel dizzy or tired, some will suffer from lack of sleep, and some will lose their appetite.In fact, all these symptoms have terrible effects on our exams and we are all eager to get rid of them.

First of all, in my opinion, it’s important for us to have a right attitude towards exams.They are only a means of checking how we are getting along with our studies, so there is no need to worry too much about the results.Study hard every day and make careful plans for every exam.In this way we can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams.

Besides, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam.Therefore, during the period of exams, we should not stay up too late.We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed.They might help us to have a sound sleep.

(We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises before and during an exam so that we can keep ourselves relaxed and then concentrate ourselves on exams.)
