24、Next time you hear yourself wishing for something better in your life, remember the word “SMART”. When you’ve decided to take action, read the following first.
S is for specific (具体的): For example, instead of setting a goal (目标): of “I want to lose weight”, set yourself a specific goal like “I want to lose five kilograms”. If you want to climb a high mountain, start your research, set a date and train for the climbing fitness.
M is for measurable (可测量的): Don’t try to “become healthy”, instead, set a goal that can be measured while carrying out an improved eating, exercise or lifestyle plan. For example, try to go to the gym for an hour three times a week, to visit your grandma once a week for an evening meal, or to eat no more than 200 grams of chocolate a week.
A is for achievable(可完成的): If you’ve never exercised in your life, don’t try to take part in the 2020 Olympics. Rather, get walking with a specific goal of how many steps to take a day. No need to try for the stars—baby steps are good.
R is for relevant (恰当的): Many of us choose goals that seem right, but are in fact wrong. They may go on for a few weeks before they fail. Try to avoid making the same mistake—rather choose goals that really speak to you.
T is for time-conscious (心中有数的): Finally, be very clear in your mind about how much time you are giving yourself to achieve the goal. That way, you know when you’ve succeeded, failed or whether you need to work harder to finish it before the last day.
【1】According to the passage, the writer tells us how to_______.

25、Smartphones, iPads and computers are keeping children and teenagers awake at night — even when they’re not in use, according to a new research. The researchers say that technology devices (设备) are causing kids to sleep less and influencing the quality (质量) of their sleep. As a result, they can have trouble staying awake the next day.
After studying children and teenagers aged 6 to 19, the researchers found a strong connection between the use of technology at bedtime and poor sleeping. The reason is not just that kids are staying up too late with their devices. Using a computer can overstimulate (过度刺激) the mind and emotions (情绪), the researchers say. A smartphone or an iPad also sends out a light that influences the body’s natural timing. All these can lead to poor sleep quality. And many kids could be at risk. According to the research, 72% of all children and 89% of teenagers have at least one device in their sleep environment. Most of these devices are used near bedtime.
Many kids get less sleep on school nights than they should. According to the National Sleep Foundation, kids aged 6 to 13 should get between nine and eleven hours of sleep a night. Getting enough sleep is especially important for learning subjects like math and foreign languages.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advises kids to stop looking at screens at least half an hour before bedtime. This helps their brains slow down and gets their bodies ready for sleep. The AAP says bedrooms should be “screen-free”.
If you can’t help picking up a technology device at bedtime, try these relaxing activities instead:
Keep a diary: Writing your thoughts on paper can clear your mind.
Try a mind exercise: Close your eyes and count backward from 100 to 1.
Just relax: Breathe in and out slowly and deeply. Sweet dreams!

26、This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?
Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.
【1】________ helped me decide what my report would be about.
A.The Internet
B.My classmates
C.My grandpa
D.A coin
【2】People in the class acted strangely because ________.
A.I was too proud of my homework
B.I mistook what the homework was about
C.the whole world suddenly became quiet
D.the teacher’s face turned to a stone
【3】I ________ after I failed the subject.
A.worked harder to prove my ability
B.started to study from the 7th grade
C.was so frightened at the awful result
D.was given a second chance to redo the work
【4】We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________.
A.the headmaster didn’t like the writer at all
B.the writer’s classmates felt sad at his mistake
C.the writer knew little about American history
D.the writer’s grandpa was a very wise man
