25、   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

27、What do you think of black cats? Are they unluckier than cats of other colors? Many people in Western countries think so. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people’s understandings of cat personalities.

The study found that people do judge(判断) cat personalities by color. Scientists did a survey on the Internet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-coloured (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-coloured (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they don’t have special personalities.

But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.

Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don’t think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “You can’t judge a cat by its colour, because it’s the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.
