21、How to Have a Successful Teenage Life
Everyone dreams of success in their life, don’t they? Even as a teenager, you can achieve success in your life; it really isn’t that hard. 【1】
• Do well in school.
No matter how boring it is now, education will help you be a productive member in society. Try your best for excellence in school; listen to the teachers, do your homework, study, and get good grades. Doing so will help you get into a better university, which will enable you to have a bright future. 【2】
• Do good in your community(社区).
Volunteering can not only improve your community's status, but it could make you happier. Studies show that people who volunteer are less likely to develop depression (抑郁)than people who don’t. 【3】 For example, if you love animals, volunteer at an animal shelter. If you love helping the environment, plant trees or pick up litter. When you help others, it will make you feel better about yourself.
• 【4】
Remember, they’re there to help you be the best that you can be. Respect them and value their opinions, even if they annoy you sometimes. 【5】 You don't get to choose your teachers or your family, but you still have to put up with them. Learn how to deal with people now, because when you’re an adult, you don’t get to choose your boss or your co-workers, so learn how to respect them now.
These points can help you enjoy success in your teenage life.
A．Live life to the fullest.
B．School sets you up on the right track!
C．Be nice to your parents and teachers.
D．Find chances to do volunteer work that interests you.

22、Students to get more sleep
When your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you probably wonder: Why on Earth does school have to start so early? 【1】
A law in California, passed on Oct 13, requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 8:00 am and that high schools start no earlier than 8:30 am. The law will go into effect by July 1, 2022. Starting school at 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change. 【2】
“The effect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults,” Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanford University, told The New York Times. 【3】
Some might say that urging students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire state. But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter adolescence. 【4】 So when school starts at 8:00 or earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5 — 9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime.
【5】 In the short run, students’ school performances should improve immediately. Kyla Wahlstrom, a researcher, found that students who have enough sleep are more alert in class and get better grades. This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, “Generations of children will come to appreciate this historic day and our governor for taking brave action.”
A．Students can benefit a lot from more sleep.
B．Fortunately, there is a new law to back you up.
C．Here are some tips to help you solve this problem.
D．But it could mean one more hour of sleep for students.
E．Regular sleeping schedule is definitely good for students.
F．Not having enough sleep can increase the risk of obesity and diabetes.
G．It’s difficult for them to fall asleep before 11:00 pm during that period.
23、Owls are so famous for their nighttime activities that the phrase “night owl” is used to describe people who stay up late. 【1】. That’s because some owls are active daytime hunters. During the daytime, the northern hawk owl and the northern pygmy owl are hunting for meals, making them diurnal—that is, active during the daytime. Moreover, it’s not uncommon to spot a snowy owl or burrowing owl during the day, depending on the season and food availability. Still others hunt during both the day and night, as well as daybreak and nightfall.
【2】. For instance, the northern pygmy owl has a preference for songbirds, which are awake during the day. The northern hawk owl, which hunts during the day, as well as at day-break and nightfall, eats small birds and other diurnal animals.
As the northern hawk owl’s name implies, it looks quite hawkish. 【3】. However, it’s unclear whether the common ancestor they shared was diurnal, like the hawk, or nocturnal—that is, active at night, like most owls.
However, nocturnal owls certainly get advantages from their nighttime activities. 【4】, both of which help them excel at nighttime hunting. Besides, the cover of darkness helps nocturnal owls avoid predators, as well as attack prey, principally because their feathers hardly make any noise when they fly.
Whether owls are nocturnal or diurnal, experts credit their success to the birds’ flexibility and adaptability. “Some hunt specific prey at a specific time, day or night. 【5】,” an expert said.
A．Owls have excellent vision and hearing
B．But the saying is actually a bit misleading
C．Those species are well-equipped for nightlife
D．That’s because owls and hawks are closely related
E．Others are more general and more able to adapt to what’s needed
F．Owls don’t quite as clearly fall into nocturnal and diurnal as other animals
G．The reason behind these varying sleep schedules largely has to do with prey availability
24、The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the "Step" pyramid and the "Bent" pyramid.
Some of the pyramids still look as much alike as they must have been when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stones to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.
The "Step" pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun set. This was for level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to break under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital, or better still near the king's palace so that he could visit it easily to personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.
【1】The most important reason why some pyramids remain in good condition is that .
A. people have taken good care of them
B. it doesn't rain often in Egypt
C. they were well designed
D. the government has protected them from damage
【2】Most of the damage to the pyramids has been caused by .
A. the regular floods
B. the dry climate of Egypt
C. the special shape of the pyramids
D. people in search of building materials
【3】The Egyptians built the pyramids along the banks of the Nile because .
A. they believed in their god
B. it was difficult to find a large rock base far from the Nile
C. the river helped a lot in the transport of building materials
D. it was not easy to choose a suitable place for the pyramids
【4】The last paragraph of the passage mainly tells us .
A. it was easy for the king to check
B. water transport was easier than land transport
C. there was a rock base for the "Step" pyramid to be built on
D. why the "Step" pyramid had to be built on the west side of the Nile
