After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.

There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.

Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.

If you have trouble falling asleep, some people suggest breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put y ou to sleep.

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that 80 percent of all human illness are connected with diet and 40 percent of cancer is connected with the diet as well that food is connected with illness is no t a new discovery. In the 1940s scientists realized that nitrates(硝酸盐), which are often used to keep color of meat, and other additives(添加剂)caused cancer. However these additives remain in our food and it becomes more difficult to know which additives are helpful or harmful. Farmers sometimes give drugs to animals not because the animals are ill but because they want to sell the animals at higher prices. For example farmers try hard to make animals grow big so that they can sell the big animals for more money. Although the Food and Drug Administration has tried again and again to control farmers to do so, farmers go on doing this.

Section A (10 marks)

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in  the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each question.

Have you experienced the moments when your little baby cried at the top of his or her voice and it seemed that he or she wanted something or something was wrong with him or her, but you weren’t able to understand what the baby needed in fact? Don’t worry. In fact, baby sign language can help you communicate with your little baby.

Baby sign language can be considered as a kind of language, through which parents and caregivers can talk to baby. It is a way of expressing ideas and feelings using movements or sound.

It’s better to begin with some simple signs to teach a baby. Show the sign in front of your baby as you say the word. Look into your baby’s eyes while showing the sign. Point at the object you’re talking about when teaching your baby. Besides, teach your baby the sign, as much as possible in everyday life after teaching your baby the signs. Only when you use them often will your baby master baby language quickly.

Research has found that babies who were taught sign language when they were very little develop language skills fa ster t han those who grew up without being taught. That is because when your teach your baby to use sign language, you also have to speak the particular word. When you do this regularly, the child is likely to pick up those words quickly, thus leading to overall apeech development. A baby who learns baby language is able to communicate with his or her parents or caregivers and when its need is met, he or she’ll feel happy and pleased. Babies who know sign language may have higher IQ than children who learn language in the natural way. And it can help improve the memory of the baby.
