24、 Take a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off(打盹)or even completely asleep.
Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack(缺乏)of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.
Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty(青春期), the body's internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p. m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 a. m. to get a full night's sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a. m.
However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression(沮丧), The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.
【1】Which of the following would the author agree with?
A.High school students must go to bed before 10 p. m.
B.High schools should begin their school day at a later time
C.Most schools should push forward the start of their school day.
D.Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older.
【2】The second paragraph mainly discusses ________.
A.why high school students should get more sleep
B.what's life like for high school students at present
C.why high school students feel sleepy in the classroom
D.how to lighten high school students' homework load
【3】The underlined word "shifts" probably means "________”.
A.arrives
B.reduces
C.increases
D.changes
25、When we talked about NBA, many people will think of Yao Ming. There is no doubt that Yao Ming is a Chinese hero. On October 16,2013,Yao Ming announced(宣布) he would open the NBA Yao School. This was really exciting news!
Looking at the name of the school, many people would think that the school is going to train NBA talents. But that is not truth. The NBA Yao School provides after-school boys and girls over 16 years old who are very good at playing basketball. The school aims to teach the importance of teamwork, leadership(领导素养) and communication in a fun basketball environment.
Yao is quite glad to be a part of the school, because it has always been his dream to positively (积极地) influence young people’s life through sports.
Now, basketball fans in China are looking forward to getting basketball training, and the NBA Yao School is a great choice. In the school, students have chances to meet NBA stars. The stars can offer suggestions on how to play basketball well.
The school’s first program opened at the Wukesong Basketball Park in February, 2014. If you want to know more information about the school, you can visit www.nbayao.com.

26、
When things aren't going so great, there's a saying to encourage us: when life gives you lemons, make lemonade(柠檬饮料).
That's what 15--year-old Zack Francom has been doing in the past nine years. He does that to improve the lives of people in developing countries. They need wheelchairs but don't have money for there.
It all started in 2010. His school held a fundraiser(募捐会)to raise $86 to buy a wheelchair for a charity. Although Zack was only 6 years old then, he wanted to keep the-fundraising going.
"I thought, `What if I couldn't walk or run or ride my bike? What would that be like?' I wanted to help make life easier for those who couldn't walk or run and didn't have money for a wheelchair to help them get around," he said..
Now hundreds of people line up in April to buy lemonade from Zack's store. In 2014 he sold a lot of lemonade, raising $5,300. With that money he was able to buy 37 wheelchairs at a cost of $143 each and ship them to places like Guam and Guatemala, where a wheelchair can cost more than a person would make in one year!
Lots of people in poor countries have to pull themselves around with their hands and crawl (爬行)to get around, because wheelchairs are too expensive for them.
"We helped one lady in Guatemala who crawled for 10 miles with her baby on her back," said Zack's mom. "What a difference it has made in her life! Stories like this are what keeps Zack going.
Zack has no plan to slow down any time soon. In fact, he hopes other kids will follow him.

27、 Audio Texts Signal Rise of New Literacy
Many people read physical books or e-books, but now there is a new trend—listening to audiobooks(有声读物).
According to a recent report by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication(CAPP), more people are choosing to listen to audiobooks these days.
To be specific, 26 percent of adults listened to audiobooks in 2018, which was 3. 2 percentage higher than that in 2017.
Young people have been the main driver in the development of audiobooks. Some 26.2 percent of teenagers listened to audiobooks in 2018, which was 3. 5 percent higher than that in 2017. Ximalaya noted that the value of audiobook purchases made by those aged 13 to 18 in 2018 increased by 330 percent over that of 2017, the Beijing Evening News reported.
One of the reasons that audiobooks are becoming increasingly popular is that people want to get more use out of their free time, China News Service reported. Listening to e-books frees up time for them, whether they are at the gym, on a bus, or in bed. Faster internet speeds mean that a book can be downloaded in seconds, according to Wei Yushan, director of CAPP.
Listening to audiobooks also helps with loneliness.“When I feel bored or lonely, listening to audiobooks makes me feel that there is someone accompanying(陪伴)me, ”Zhong Yan, an office worker who is obsessed with audiobooks, told the Beijing Evening News.
However, audiobooks are still far from perfect.“Listening to audiobooks doesn't make you think in the way you do when you're reading a book. It's also likely that you will miss information while you listen, ”said Zhong.
Qiang Qiang, a primary student who often listens to audiobooks, shares this perspective: " Despite(即使;尽管)its convenience, audiobooks are less detailed than physical books you read, ”he told the Beijing Evening News.
Li Yini, assistant general manager of Baicaoyuan Bookstore in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, told Jiangnan Times that people who want a book with serious content should choose a paper book or e-book, but they can choose an audiobook if the content is easy to understand.

A.they are more convenient B.they are cheaper than paper books
C.they are more relaxing than physical books D.they provide people with a better reading experience
【3】The phrase “be obsessed with" in Paragraph 6 probably means“ ___________, , .
