“They’re sitting in the classroom, but their heads are at home on the pillows,” said a teacher from a high school.
Don’t blame them; blame the clocks in their brains. A research suggests that biological clocks make teens stay up at night and sleep in the morning.
During the first several weeks of school, students are more likely to lack sleep. In the holidays, students can sleep eight hours a night, but during the school days, they sleep only about six hours on average. Students lose 10 hours’ sleep a week. This may affect their school performances and leads to poor health.
Scientists in the US did research to reset teenagers’ biological clock to help them fall asleep earlier. They found the brain can produce a chemical that helps sleep. But it comes out only in the dark. So they use a special light in the classroom to try to force a reset of the students’ biological clock.
The research failed in the end. So some schools in the US tried to reset their school time from 7:25 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. The results seemed to be good.

If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others.We can not change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Knowing others constantly makes us understand others’differences. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and an open mind.
You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others how you want to be treated.” You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so it is important to treat them kindly too. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in.Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.
It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone’s life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.

Say you just got a box of chocolate. Which piece do you pick first? A study carried out by a professor in the University of Virginia showed that people’s choices of chocolates show their personality. If you choose a round piece, you are a person who likes to party. If you select an oval shape, you are a person who strives(努力). You like to make things and push yourself to be successful. Picking a square shape shows that this is an honest and truthful person you can depend on.
What kind of chocolate do you pick? Maybe you like milk chocolate. This shows you have warm feelings about the past, while dark chocolate means something else -- the person who chooses it ________. What about white chocolate? Would you like to choose it? If so, you may find it hard to make up your mind. Those who like chocolate with nuts are people who like to help others.
Do you believe these ideas? Can chocolate tell all these things? It doesn’t matter. There is one sure thing about eaters of chocolates – they eat it because they like it.

Scientists have determined it"s not advisable to hurry marriage.But what"s the best age to wed?
When Avril Lavigne announced she was splitting from her husband, comments from her friends suggested that she was only 21 when she tied the knot and later she said that she realized she"d been too young to make such a life-altering decision.Could fellow young celebrity divorcées(离婚者) Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, and Britney Spears have also hit the same age-related issue?
The Magic Number
There are practical reasons for the mid-20s dividing line, and most of them boil down to two biggies: education and money.
It turns out that the more years of higher education a woman has under her belt on her wedding day, the lower the chances that she"ll get divorced ...and by 25, you"re more likely to have earned a degree or two.Educated women tend to be more confident about who they are and less willing to settle for a man who doesn"t meet their standards.
Odds(可能性) are that by 25 you"re also supporting yourself, so there"s less incentive(刺激; 鼓励)for you to rush into marriage because you"re seeking financial security from him.But the marriage-related benefits of working and having money of your own go beyond feeling secure.Learning to budget your cash carefully when you"re single will help you avoid financial problems-one of the main causes of couple fights-for the rest of your life.
Knowing the Real You
At 25, you"ve had time for some crucial life experiences, including a relationship or two that may have improved your Mr.Right radar.You"ve probably dated enough to have a better idea of what you don"t want in a man, which makes it easier to know what you can live with and can"t live without.
Perhaps the most important aspect of waiting is that you"ll know what your goals and values really are.While you don"t want to marry someone just like you, marriage is a lot easier if you two share a similar outlook on life.
Twenty-four and already married to the man of your dreams? Don"t worry: Many young marriages survive.But given the choice, you might consider putting off the big day until your mid-20s or later.

阅读下面的短文,并根据要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
"Wow, you got an A without even studying."
"Your drawing is wonderful --you"re my little Picasso."
If you"re like most parents, you offer praise to your children believing it is the key to their success.But according to a new study, praise may do more harm than good.
For the study, after a simple IQ test, one group was told it did really well and must be very smart.The other group was told it did really well and must have worked hard. One group was praised for intelligence, .
Asked if they wanted to take a slightly harder test, the kids praised for their intelligence were unwillingly.Of those praised for their effort, however, 90 percent were eager for a more challenging task.And on a final test the effort group performed significantly better than the group praised for its intelligence.
Many of the kids who had been labeled "smart" performed worst of all.The "hard workers" got the message that they could improve their scores by trying harder, but the "smart" kids believed they should do well without any effort.Thus, kids who get too much praise are less likely to take risks, are highly sensitive to failure and are more likely to give up when faced with a challenge.
Tips for Parents:
◆Avoid labels.Praising for effort sends the message that your child has the power to improve and change.Be mindful of labeling yourself and others.
◆Teach kids from an early age that the brain is a muscle that can be strengthened with practice.This sends the message that kids can directly affect their intelligence.
◆Parents often praise their kids to make themselves feel good, or to protect their kids from failure.But it"s vital for parents to help their kids to learn to deal with setbacks and to help them focus on ways to improve.

小题2:Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
As a result of much praise, kids will lack enough courage to risk and face failure and a challenge.

阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
[1]Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method.Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?
[2]The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious.Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country.You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go.Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people.In Italy,it is always possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want to and the learning is slower.
[3]On the other hand, staying at home to study.You don’t have to make big changes to your life.As well as this,it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK.If you have a good teacher in Italy,I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school.
[4]So,in conclusion,I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK.This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy is the only(可行的)viable option.The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your opportunities:to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.
