Mark had won a lot of competitions in 3000 meters and was thought to be the finest runner in the country. Until a few months before, Jim was almost unknown outside his hometown. But he had won one competition after another, which was a big surprise. Many people thought Jim would also do very well this time. It was going to be an exciting race.
Bang! The race started. For the first half, Jim ran with Mark in the leading group. At 1700 meters, Jim was about one meter behind Mark. Suddenly, the crowd stopped cheering. Mark fell and lay on the grass. He tried to get up, but he had been injured and was out of the race.

27、 March 16 is International Sleep Day. And we should all celebrate the act of sleeping. Researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning. But what about getting rest during the middle of the day?
A recent study on napping (小睡) says short periods of sleep may help our brains work better. Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better. And napping can help brain performance in older adults. Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off memory loss because of the increase in their age.
Many Americans do nap. But one-third of all adults in the United States are also chronically (长期的) tired, says the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It found that 50 million to 70 million Americans have chronic sleep disorders. However, they seem to be unwilling to tell people that they take a nap. They may think that napping shows they are weak or they don't have enough energy. It is not an uncommon opinion that only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap. In fact.Americans sometimes do a very strange thing. Some people brag about how few hours of sleep they need each night to show that they are somehow stronger than the average human — superhuman, if you will. However, that may be changing. Many offices now offer napping rooms and napping cafes (咖啡馆) are appearing in many U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C.
Remember that an hour long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. It is recommended that 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure (压力) to sleep and will help people feel more awake. If people nap longer, they will get trapped into deep sleep, which can be hard to get out of. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, limit your daytime nap to under 45 minutes. Also nap before 3 p.m.
【1】Who are this group of people in Paragraph 2?
A.The babies. B.The children. C.The older adults. D.The young people.
【2】The underlined word brag in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A.chat sadly B.talk proudly C.whisper secretly D.speak politely
【3】What may Americans think of napping in the future?
A.Healthy adults needn’t take a nap.
B.They won't tell others about their nap
C.It may be common for Americans to take a nap.
D.Only the old, the sick and children need a nap.
【4】For a young man with sleep problems, it is good to ________.
A.take a 40-minute-long noon nap B.take a nap whenever he feels sleepy
C.take a one-hour-long nap after dinner D.take a 30-minute-long nap in the evening
28、 National Poetry Month April is National Poetry Month in the US. The idea of the month is to e【1】 people to read and share poetry, and to remind people about great poems and poets.
National Poetry Month was started in the US in 1996 by a group called the Academy of American Poets(AAP). The US is not a【2】 in celebrating poetry. In 1999. Canada also decided to use April as National Poetry Month. In the UK, poetry is usually celebrated on a s【3】 day in October called National Poetry Day. UNESCO.a part of the United Nations, chose March 21 as their World Poetry Day.
The AAP has made a list of ways that people can celebrate poetry during April. Some of the ideas include memorizing poems, writing to poets, starting poetry groups, writing poems in sidewalk chalk, and c【4】 poems in your pocket to share with friends.
The group is also putting up a new poem every day on their website. The poems are chosen by Tracy K. Smith. who is the US Poet Laureate. The Poet Laureate is the official poet of the US and is chosen by the Librarian of Congress. Ms. Smith holds that poetry can be the l【5】 of our normal life, so she's traveling around the US this year, trying to bring poetry to places where poems are not a big part.
O【6】 are joining the AAP in National Poetry Month. A group called "Poetry in America"has created a TV series. In the series, they talk with poets and other well known people about poems in the US. Basketball player Shaquille O' Neal and Singer Bono of U2 are a part of the series. Poetry in America is also offering classes online.
In 2012, astronaut Donald Pettit set the record for taking part in National Poetry Month from f【7】 away. Mr. Pettit wrote poems while he was on the International Space Station, and shared them with people back on earth.
