Keeping a Diary in English
Our teacher asks us to keep a diary in English. I 36 doing so because I think keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to 37 our English writing ability.
Compared with 38 forms of writing, it is shorter and 39 less time. It can help us to 40 the habit of thinking in English. 41 we persist in(坚持) this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, 42 can use the important phrases and sentences we’ve 43 in or out of English classes to describe our 44 , and this way we can master and use freely 45 we’ve learned, which will do good 46 us in English learning. But 47 we certainly run up against many difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we have 48 finding proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there 49 many idiomatic (惯用的) ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard 50 us to put them into English properly.
As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is that we 51 always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever 52 beats(难倒) us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for 53 , if necessary.
In short, I believe that it is of 54 use to keep a diary in English for the development of our 55 skills.

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 that 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”一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 shortage that grows every time we skim some extra minutes off our nightly sleep.“People get more sleep debt gradually without being noticed,”says William C.Dement,founder of the Stanford University Sleep Clinic.Studies show that such short term sleep lack leads to a foggy brain,worsened vision,and trouble remembering.Long-term effects include obesity(肥胖),insulin(胰岛素)resistance,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 every year.
The good news is that,like all debt,with some work,sleep debt can be repaid.Adding all 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 allow your body to wake you in the morning(no alarm clock allowed).You may find yourself catatonic(有紧张症的)in the beginning of the recovery cycle: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 rules of your innate(固有的)sleep needs. You’ll feel better.“When you put away sleep debt,you become a superman,”says Stanford"s Dement,talking about the improved mental and physical capabilities that come with being well rested.
53.If you have short-term sleep lack,you may___________.
A.put on weight B.get heart disease C.hate eating food D.have a poor sight
54.The example of sleep math is used to show______.
A.in what case you build up a sleep debt
B.in what way you can make up for lack of sleep
C.why you are energetic even without enough sleep
D.why you need six hours’sleep every night
55.By saying the underlined sentence,Dement means that______.
A.you need a lot of sleep to be a superman
B.you will be in a good state with enough sleep
C.you need to be a superman to repay sleep debt
D.you will become a superman with more sleep debt
56.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A.How can you keep energetic? B.What is sleep debt?
C.Can you catch up on lost sleep? D.Can coffee refresh you?

“The different results show 37 of cultural background(背景),” said Sun Yunxiao from the China Youth and Children Research Centre. He explained that in the US there are many different 38 of beauty, so teens are more 39 to be confident about their appearance.
US teenagers’ high self-confidence is displayed(展示) in the 40 . About 85 per cent are happy with themselves. The percentage of self-confident Chinese students stands at only 30 per cent.

What is it that makes people happy? Youth, health, a good job, good looks, a flash car? None of these things, Spanish experts say.
The concept(概念) of happiness is thought to be determined by genetics, while the rest depends on childhood environment and the process(过程) of growing up. Perhaps the most surprising thing about happiness is coming under increasingly close examination in Spain.
As the nation rises to the club of the world"s wealthiest countries, people are discovering that material(物质的) things do not bring happiness.
"Most people use money as a measure of human value," says Jesus Ynfante, author of a book on Spain"s 300 biggest fortunes. "Expensive products are regarded as the best. The rich are admired simply for being rich," Ynfante said.
Yet psychologists(心理学家) warn that happiness as a moment of ecstatic pleasure(狂喜)--something that, by definition(定义) ,cannot last--while others speak of it as peace and acceptance of oneself. Polls(问卷调查) in different countries indicate that between 65 and 85 percent of the world"s population regard themselves as reasonably happy.
Around 40 percent of a person"s happiness is that it has little to do with age, health, wealth, or other values thought to be important in Western society. For most Spaniards, happiness is linked with feeling close to other people. Happy people accept their limitations and set themselves reachable goals, experts say.
There are life-style choices that favour happiness, such as exercise, eating carbohydrates and exposing oneself to sunlight. But the main secret of happiness is to take pleasure in small things.
“If you are given a choice between eternal(永久的)happiness and a cheese sandwich, take the sandwich,” advises musician Julian Hernandez.

D. has produced the most wealth in the world

A. are always full of feelings B. are always born in rich families

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is also one of the most interesting. It was named after Jupiter, the most important of the Roman gods, and nicknamed the “King of Planets.” It is the fifth planet from the sun and the fourth brightest object in the sky. Before the invention of the telescope, Jupiter was thought to be a bright star.
In 1610, the famous astronomer Galileo realised that Jupiter was actually a planet. He also noticed that it had four large moons. These are known as the Galilean moons. The biggest is Ganymede, and it is larger than the planets Pluto and Mercury. Next in size is Callisto, which is the farthest away from Jupiter. It is the closest to the planet, and has a lot of active volcanoes. The smallest of the Galilean moons is Europa. Europa is covered in ice, and scientists believe there may be an ocean underneath.
Galileo"s discovery that Jupiter was not a star but a planet was very important. Before this time, people believed the Earth to be the centre of the universe. They thought that the sun, stars, and other planets all revolved around the Earth. However, Galileo proved that the sun was at the centre of the universe!
(A) Jupiter is farther out in the solar system than Earth, so it takes longer to revolve around the sun. (B) However, a day on Jupiter is much shorter, only 9.8 Earth hours. (C) This is because it spins(旋转) a lot faster than the Earth does. (D)
Another of Jupiter"s interesting features(特性) is its “Great Red Spot.” On the surface of the planet is a large red spot. The spot is actually a huge storm like a hurricane, but bigger. It covers an area twice as big as the Earth and has been going on for at least 400 years!
62. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Features of the planet Jupiter.
B. Differences between Jupiter and other planets.
C. Galileo"s accomplishments in astronomy(天文).
D. How Jupiter moves in the solar system.
63. According to Paragraph 3, why is Galileo"s discovery important?
A. Because Jupiter was thought to be smaller than Earth.
B. Because people knew that Earth is not the only planet.
C. Because it meant that the planet goes around the Earth.
D. Because it proved that Earth is not the centre of the universe.
64. The underlined word “revolved” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. approached B. stopped C. sped up D. circled
65. Where would the following sentence best fit into Paragraph 4, (A), (B), (C) or (D)?
This means that one year on Jupiter is as long as 11.6 Earth years.
B
As a teenager of the digital era, it is really hard to say no to fantastic electronic gadgets(电子产品). Many of us can’t get through a day without using our mobile phones or checking our e-mails. No matter if we’re “@home”, “@school” or“@play”, living without technological toys seems more and more unthinkable.
However, although gadgets bring convenience, many of us can start to feel stressed out by them. And, a lot of electronics are fairly expensive. Fashionable gadgets come and go in the digital age in the blink of any eye. So, think twice before you pulling out your wallet.
Here are some of the most popular gadgets and their pros and cons:
Pros: Laptops have made our lives much easier. You can take your books, movies, music and homework everywhere.
Cons: They cost at least 4,000 yuan! If you only want to share photos or games with your friend, then a flash memory stick is a great cheap alternative.
Pros: As well as carrying your favourite music, a video MP3 player can play up to 150 hours of movies and TV programmes.
Cons: The price—sometimes more than 2,000 yuan—is the first concern. Secondly, though music is really important to young people, ask yourself if video is really necessary. A regular MP3 player is a lot cheaper. And remember, don’t let the loud volume damage your hearing.
Pros: New mobile phones combine traditional functions with a digital camera, MP3 player and even a radio. Some can also send and receive e-mails.
Cons: Always trying to keep up with the latest model can be a waste of money. There are always new, improved phones coming out. Don’t be a fool. Do you really need all these functions? Think twice before you buy.
60. According to the writer, which of the following statements is true?
A. Teenagers can’t live through a day without fantastic electronic gadgets.
B. Teenagers can hardly live happily without electronic gadgets.
C. Teenagers’ life is full of expensive electronic gadgets.

61. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A. Never buy the most updated gadgets.
B. You should buy the gadgets with as many functions as possible.
C. We needn’t always pay the most part to buy the most up-to-date gadgets with many functions.
D. Never buy the latest model, it’s much too expensive.
