26、Teenagers are damaging their health by not getting enough sleep because they are distracted (分散) by electronic products in their bedrooms, according to a survey.
UK advice body The Sleep Council said "junk sleep" could rival (比得上) the consumption of unhealthy junk food as a major lifestyle issue for parents of teenage children. It brings no less harm than junk food to one’s health. Its survey of 1,000 teenagers aged 12 to 16 found that 30 percent managed just 4 to 7 hours sleep as opposed to（形成对照）the recommended 8 or 9 hours by the experts. Almost a quarter said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products.
“This is an extremely worrying situation,” said Dr Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre. “What we are seeing is the appearance of Junk Sleep --- that is sleep which is of neither the length nor quality that it should be in order to feed the brain with the rest it needs to perform properly at school.”
Nearly all the teenagers had a phone, music system or TV in their bedroom, with around two-thirds possessing all three. Almost one in five of the teenage boys said the quality of their sleep had been impacted by leaving their TV or computer on. The survey also found that 40 percent of teenagers felt tired each day, with girls aged 15 to 16 doing the worst. However, just 11 percent said they were bothered by the lack or quality of sleep.
“I'm surprised that so few teenagers make the link between getting enough good quality sleep and how they feel during the day,” Idzikowski said. “Teenagers need to wake up to the fact to feel well, perform well and look well; they need to do something about their sleep.”
【1】According to the experts, how many hours should teenagers sleep every night?
A. 4 to 7 hours B. 8 or 9 hours
C. 6 or 7 hours D. 7 or 8 hours
【2】Which of the following is NOT true about “junk sleep”?
A. It’s a kind of sleep with poor quality.
B. It’s a kind of sleep with shorter hours.
C. It’s not as harmful as junk food to one’s health.
D. It’s mainly caused by the electronic products in the bedroom.
【3】The underlined word “impacted” Paragraph 4 can probably be replaced by “_______.”
A. improved B. destroyed
C. affected D. provided
【4】What should be the best title of this passage?
A. Junk Food and Junk Sleep
B. A Survey about Junk Sleep
C. Junk Sleep is Damaging Teenagers’ Health
D. How to avoid Junk Sleep
27、I had just delivered a memorable speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.
The third—place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second—place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200—mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he said, “I felt like the 12—year—old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could understand.
I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennia Speech Contest. After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.
I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.
【1】How did the author feel after finishing his speech?

B．He hurt his toe on the way to the library.
C．He got up late on the day of the contest.
D．He was bottom of his group.
【3】What made the author decide to enter the second contest?
A．The warmth of victory.
B．The inspiration from Lincoln.
C．His eagerness for the prize money.
D．His desire to show himself on the stage.
【4】What lesson can we learn from the author’s experience?
A．Believe in Lincoln—the hero
B．Never mind others’ judgements.
C．Don’t accept the prize money.
D．Try, fail and then try again.

29、My daughter was in Grade 10 at high school. She had been suffering from reading disability. Despite our great efforts to convince her of her many other talents, she thought she must be stupid. Any suggestions that she attend special education classes were turned down because, in her thought, that would confirm she was foolish.
She battled her work at high school. When it came to examinations, she would struggle with the questions, thus causing problems in writing answers. Her math teacher, seemingly the only teacher who understood her reading disability, unexpectedly offered to read the questions for her in an exam. As a result, she got a previously unheard-of B for the test. She could now start to believe in herself and her abilities, finally stopping thinking she was foolish.
Without thanking the math teacher, I would not allow this wonderful event to go by. I contacted the school and phoned the teacher. The surprise in his voice was obvious when I said, “I just want to express my gratitude to you.” “Oh...It’s the least I could do,” he responded. I told him, “I just want to thank you for reading the questions to my daughter for her math exam. Not only did she get a B, but you have no idea of the deep impact your behavior has had on my daughter’s self-belief and hopes for her future. My wife, my daughter and I all sincerely thank you.”
My daughter’s struggles with her reading disability continue to this day. However, she is now an experienced and fully-qualified Family and Youth care worker. With self-confidence, she has helped and continues to help many people in her professional and personal life and is happily married and now has four excellent children.
