What to see in Serbia first? We have compiled a list of the most interesting sights in this country especially for you. Belgrade Fortress (Belgrade) Belgrade Fortress, constructed all throughout the 1st to the 18th century, with the aim of being a strategic place for defense on the hill above the Sava and Danube rivers, today represents an outdoor museum. The Pobednik Monument (The Victor), the symbol of Belgrade, is the focal point of the entire area which is made up of the Belgrade fortress, divided into the Upper and Lower town, and Kalemegdan Park. Nikola Tesla Museum (Belgrade) Nikola Tesla Museum was opened in Belgrade (the capital) in 1952. It is entirely dedicated to the life and inventions of the famous engineer, a genius of the 20th century — Nikola Tesla. Today it is used in power lines, electric generators and electric motors. The museum presents many models of devices invented by Tesla and films about the great scientist. Drwengrad (Uzice) Famous director Emir Kusturica has built the beautiful village “Drwengrad” (wooden town) in 2004. Drwengrad is not on any map. You can get here by a retro train, which appeared in the director’s film Life as a Miracle. Here Kusturica receives tourist, holds festivals and loudly declares his views. Walking along the wooden bridge, you can meet colorful Serbian grandmothers, offering tourists products made of sheep’s wool. Fruska Gora National Park (Novi Sad) Fruska Gora has acquired the status of a national park because of the huge number of rare trees and shrubs. If you would like to spend a couple of days relaxing and enjoying the nature of the Balkans, go here. People come to the park with tents for family vacations, roasting kebabs and taking pictures in nature. 1. What do Belgrade Fortress and Nikola Tesla Museum have in common? A. They have an equally long history. B. They are located in the capital. C. They are in honor of someone. D. They are in defense of Serbia. 2. What can visitors do at Drwengrad? A. Purchase souvenirs. B. Enjoy a film. C. Hold festivals. D. Take a train. 3. Where might visitors go if they are tired of the city life? A. Belgrade Fortress. B. Nikola Tesla Museum. C. Drwengrad. D. Fruska Gora National Park. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章介绍了塞尔维亚几处有趣的景点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Belgrade Fortress (Belgrade)中“The Pobednik Monument (The Victor), the symbol of Belgrade, is the focal point of the entire area which is made up of the Belgrade fortress, divided into the Upper and Lower town, and Kalemegdan Park.(Pobednik纪念碑（The Victor）是Belgrade的象征，是由Belgrade要塞组成的整个地区的焦点，分为上、下城镇和Kalemegdan公园)”及Nikola Tesla Museum (Belgrade)部分中“Nikola Tesla Museum was opened in Belgrade (the capital) in 1952.( Nikola Tesla博物馆于1952年在贝尔格莱德（首都）开放)”可知，Belgrade要塞和Nikola Tesla博物馆的共同点是都位于塞尔维亚首都Belgrade。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Drwengrad (Uzice)部分中“Walking along the wooden bridge, you can meet colorful Serbian grandmothers, offering tourists products made of sheep’s wool.(走在木桥上，你会遇到（穿着）色彩斑斓的塞尔维亚老奶奶，她们为游客提供羊毛制品)”可知，游客在Drwengrad可以购买纪念品。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Fruska Gora National Park (Novi Sad)部分中“If you would like to spend a couple of days relaxing and enjoying the nature of the Balkans, go here.(如果你想花几天时间放松，享受巴尔干半岛的自然风光，就来这里吧)”可知，如果游客厌倦了城市生活，可以去Fruska Gora国家公园。故选D项。 B When you picture doing a science project, you might imagine peering through a microscope or building a model volcano. But science projects can be done anywhere. Many teens get inspired from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All it takes to transform your favorite activities into a science project is identifying a problem you want to solve. Elizabeth, 14, who is in the 7th grade at Davis Drive Middle School in Cary, N.C, designed a program. Her method is based on the golden ratio (比例). This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks. The ratio also appears in nature. Elizabeth’s data storage strategy helps computers write data evenly (均匀地) across memory devices. This could help such devices last longer. “As long as I can remember, I’ve been an artistic person,” Elizabeth says, “In the fourth grade, my art teacher taught us about the golden ratio. And at that point it was just, you know, something to use when we were painting.” But last year, Elizabeth had to replace the memory in her own computer, thinking the golden ratio might work in tech, too. Elizabeth tested her golden-ration technique by running programs on a computer. But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding experience. To prepare, she spent months reading a textbook on how to code. She says, “It wasn’t like an ‘ah-ha’ moment. Writing algorithms (程序) is such a boring process. But it was just cool to explore and see the computer actually just doing stuff that I told it to do after those hours.” “Don’t limit yourself,” Elizabeth adds, “One of the biggest challenges you face is changing your mindset. I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. Words, painting, now programming.” 4. What can we learn about science projects according to this passage? A. They need skills in building models. B. They may involve great imagination C. They can come from different hobbies. D. They will inspire teens to find solutions 5. What is Elizabeth’s programming used for? A. Creating fine works. B. Protecting nature. C. Strengthening memories. D. Storing information. 6. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph? A. Well begun is half done. B. Every effort will pay off. C. Imagination is the source of creation. D. Laugh it off when facing difficulties. 7. What is Elizabeth doing with her words in the last paragraph? A. Offering advice. B. Giving response. C. Expressing doubts. D. Making promises. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了Elizabeth，一个14岁的初中生，如何受到艺术中黄金分割比例的启发，进而将其应用于计算机科学中，设计了一个数据存储策略的故事，展示了她的创新思维和解决问题的过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But science projects can be done anywhere. Many teens get inspired from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All it takes to transform your favorite activities into a science project is identifying a problem you want to solve.(但是科学项目可以在任何地方进行。许多青少年从演奏乐器到做体操中获得灵感。把你最喜欢的活动变成一个科学项目所需要做的就是找出一个你想要解决的问题。)”可知，科学项目可以来自不同的爱好，只需要找到你想解决的问题，就可以将你喜欢的活动转化为科学项目。因此，科学项目可以来自不同的爱好。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Her method is based on the golden ratio (比例). This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks. The ratio also appears in nature. Elizabeth’s data storage strategy helps computers write data evenly (均匀地) across memory devices. This could help such devices last longer.(她的方法是基于黄金比例。这个比例经常被用来创造艺术作品中令人愉悦的部分。这个比例也出现在自然界中。Elizabeth的数据存储策略帮助计算机在内存设备上均匀地写入数据。这可以帮助这些设备使用更长时间。)”可知，Elizabeth的数据存储策略帮助计算机将数据均匀地写入存储设备中，这有助于延长设备的寿命。这表明她的编程是用于存储信息的。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding experience. To prepare, she spent months reading a textbook on how to code. She says, “It wasn’t like an ‘ah-ha’ moment. Writing algorithms (程序) is such a boring process. But it was just cool to explore and see the computer actually just doing stuff that I told it to do after those hours.”(但在这个项目之前，Elizabeth没有编码经验。为了准备，她花了几个月的时间阅读了一本关于如何编程的教科书。她说：“那不是一个‘啊哈’的时刻。编写程序就是这样一个无聊的过程。但在那几个小时后，看到电脑实际上只是在做我让它做的事情，这真是太酷了。”)”可知，本段描述了Elizabeth在开始这个项目之前没有编程经验，但她为了准备这个项目，花费了几个月的时间阅读关于如何编程的教科书。这表明她为了达成目标，付出了相当的努力和时间。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Don’t limit yourself,” Elizabeth adds, “One of the biggest challenges you face is changing your mindset. I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. Words, painting, now programming.”(“不要限制自己，” Elizabeth补充道，“你面临的最大挑战之一就是改变你的心态。我从来没有想过科学或计算机科学会是我喜欢的东西，但在学习了一些编程知识之后，我发现这实际上是一种表达自己的新方式。文字，绘画，现在是编程。”)”可知，Elizabeth在说话中明确提到了“Don’t limit yourself”和“changing your mindset”，这些都是鼓励性和建议性的表达。她通过自己的经历来告诉读者不要限制自己，要改变心态去探索新的领域。因此，Elizabeth在最后一段中的话主要是在给出建议和鼓励，告诉读者不要限制自己，要勇于尝试新的领域。故选A。 C A new study has found that ride-sharing services result in much more pollution than other kinds of private and public transportation. Ride-sharing trips also draw passengers away from more environment friendly methods of travel, like public transportation, walking or biking, the study found. Several studies in recent years have suggested that ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traffic problems in cities. The new study represents an attempt to center on how ride-sharing services affect pollution. Overall, the researchers reported that ride-sharing trips now "result in a 69 percent more climate pollution on average than the trips they replace." The study notes that the same passengers could have chosen to travel by bus, train, bike or on foot. One of the big reasons they give for this result is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven with no passengers in the car. This happens when drivers are either waiting for rider requests, are on the way to pick up passengers. This situation, known as "deadheading," takes up about 42 percent of all ride-sharing driving activity, the study found. The researchers said that deadheading results in about 50 percent more carbon dioxide than one person driving in a private vehicle. Both Uber and Lyft have said in the past that most studies on the subject overstate (夸大）the effects of their services on pollution. Uber told Reuters news agency in a statement it had no comment on the latest report and that the study made misleading claims about ride-sharing. Meanwhile, the company said it would work directly with cities to address climate changes, promoting sharing trips and other means of transportation. 8. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Ride-sharing becomes a new trend that can’t be avoided. B. Ride-sharing industry is met with criticism. C. Ride-sharing services increase pollution. D. Ride-sharing services need improvement. 9. The term “deadheading” in the passage refers to ________. A. a driving process where the driver is not carrying passengers B. a potential risk that the driver may lose control of the vehicle C. a period of driving hours when vehicles produce more carbon dioxide D. a situation in which a driver has too many passengers to pick up 10. In the eyes of Uber, the latest report is actually________. A. barking up the wrong tree B. not seeking the truth from facts C. killing two birds with one stone D. beating around the bush 11. From the study of ride-sharing services, we can infer that ________. A. Ride-sharing attracts exactly the same number of people as traditional means of transport. B. the study was conducted to prove the influence of ride-sharing services on modern cities C. ride-sharing service is not an environmentally friendly way to travel D. the new report has forced Uber to make big changes to achieve its goal 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。研究发现，共享汽车的使用反而增加了污染。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study has found that ride-sharing services result in much more pollution than other kinds of private and public transportation”。一项新的研究发现，共享汽车服务比其它类型的私人或公共交通造成的污染要大得多。第一段点明了文章的主旨，即共享汽车造成的污染更大，故选C项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段“One of the big reasons they give for this result is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven with no passengers in the car. This happens when drivers are either waiting for rider requests, are on the way to pick up passengers. This situation, known as "deadheading,"”他们给出的导致这一结果的最大原因之一是共享汽车经常会空驶。这种情况要么发生在司机等单时，要么发生在前去接乘客时。这种情况被称为“空驶”。所以deadheading指的是司机没有载乘客情况下的驾驶。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Both Uber and Lyft have said in the past that most studies on the subject overstate the effects of their services on pollution.” Uber和Lyft公司过去都曾说过，关于这一主题的大多数研究都夸大了其服务对环境污染的影响。所以Uber公司认为这个研究不实事求是。故选B项。 11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Overall, the researchers reported that ride-sharing trips now "result in a 69 percent more climate pollution on average than the trips they replace.” 研究人员报告称，总体而言，目前共享汽车出行比它们所替代的出行服务平均多产生了69%的污染。可知，共享汽车并不是环保的出行方式。故选C项。 D What you do after studying could have a big influence on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep. When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied. The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games. While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning — what is called “wakeful rest”. A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest. If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy! Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS) notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well.” It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information. ” The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get about between 6 and 7 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less. Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That’s it — a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn. 12. According to the research, shortly after studying students are recommended ______ A. to take a wakeful rest. B. to play a video game. C. to have a nice sleep at night. D. to read a newspaper. 13. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The importance of sleep. B. The types of resting activities. C. The good ways to get a rest. D. The reason for having a rest. 14. How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF? A. Less than 6 hours. B. No more than 7 hours. C. Around 8 hours. D. Just 7 hours. 15 What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Low-cost Tips on Working. B. Good Things to Do After Your Study. C. Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep? D. How Long Should We Rest After Learning? 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过科学研究成果来阐述学习之后进行清醒休息和睡眠的重要性，并对如何进行清醒休息提出了简单易行的方法，同时还介绍了不同年龄段人群睡眠时长的建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied. (但是研究表明，学习后休息可能有助于你记住所学内容。)”以及第五段“A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest. (2019年的一项研究发现，年轻人和老年人在进行清醒休息后都能更好地记住他们所学的信息。)”可知，研究表明学习后短暂休息一下（清醒休息）有助于记忆所学内容，所以推荐学生在学习后进行清醒休息，故选A项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games. (基本的想法是这样的：在学习后停止你的活动，你的大脑就有机会休息。当你在玩电脑游戏时，休息是很困难的。)”可知，本段主要讲了学习后停止活动让大脑有机会休息的基本理念，以及玩电脑游戏时休息比较困难，这是在解释为什么学习后要休息，故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get about between 6 and 7 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less. (美国国家睡眠基金会（NSF）建议20至64岁的成年人每天大约有6到7小时的睡眠时间。青少年可能需要多一点，而65岁以上的人可能需要少一点。)”可知，青少年可能需要比成年人更多一点的睡眠，所以大约8小时左右，故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep. (今天在《教育小贴士》中，我们将探讨两种无需成本的方法，它们可以帮助你提高学习效果：清醒时的休息和睡眠。)”可知，文章主要介绍学习后可以做的两件有助于学习的事：清醒休息和睡眠，B项“Good Things to Do After Your Study. (学习后要做的好事。)”最能概括全文，故选B项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whether you are a professional or an amateur, basketball is the best sport for you. ____16____ Here are some of the benefits you can acquire from playing basketball. • Improve your fitness levels.

What to see in Serbia first? We have compiled a list of the most interesting sights in this country especially for you. Belgrade Fortress (Belgrade) Belgrade Fortress, constructed all throughout the 1st to the 18th century, with the aim of being a strategic place for defense on the hill above the Sava and Danube rivers, today represents an outdoor museum. The Pobednik Monument (The Victor), the symbol of Belgrade, is the focal point of the entire area which is made up of the Belgrade fortress, divided into the Upper and Lower town, and Kalemegdan Park. Nikola Tesla Museum (Belgrade) Nikola Tesla Museum was opened in Belgrade (the capital) in 1952. It is entirely dedicated to the life and inventions of the famous engineer, a genius of the 20th century — Nikola Tesla. Today it is used in power lines, electric generators and electric motors. The museum presents many models of devices invented by Tesla and films about the great scientist. Drwengrad (Uzice) Famous director Emir Kusturica has built the beautiful village “Drwengrad” (wooden town) in 2004. Drwengrad is not on any map. You can get here by a retro train, which appeared in the director’s film Life as a Miracle. Here Kusturica receives tourist, holds festivals and loudly declares his views. Walking along the wooden bridge, you can meet colorful Serbian grandmothers, offering tourists products made of sheep’s wool. Fruska Gora National Park (Novi Sad) Fruska Gora has acquired the status of a national park because of the huge number of rare trees and shrubs. If you would like to spend a couple of days relaxing and enjoying the nature of the Balkans, go here. People come to the park with tents for family vacations, roasting kebabs and taking pictures in nature. 1. What do Belgrade Fortress and Nikola Tesla Museum have in common? A.

Fruska Gora National Park. B When you picture doing a science project, you might imagine peering through a microscope or building a model volcano. But science projects can be done anywhere. Many teens get inspired from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All it takes to transform your favorite activities into a science project is identifying a problem you want to solve. Elizabeth, 14, who is in the 7th grade at Davis Drive Middle School in Cary, N.C, designed a program. Her method is based on the golden ratio (比例). This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks. The ratio also appears in nature. Elizabeth’s data storage strategy helps computers write data evenly (均匀地) across memory devices. This could help such devices last longer. “As long as I can remember, I’ve been an artistic person,” Elizabeth says, “In the fourth grade, my art teacher taught us about the golden ratio. And at that point it was just, you know, something to use when we were painting.” But last year, Elizabeth had to replace the memory in her own computer, thinking the golden ratio might work in tech, too. Elizabeth tested her golden-ration technique by running programs on a computer. But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding experience. To prepare, she spent months reading a textbook on how to code. She says, “It wasn’t like an ‘ah-ha’ moment. Writing algorithms (程序) is such a boring process. But it was just cool to explore and see the computer actually just doing stuff that I told it to do after those hours.” “Don’t limit yourself,” Elizabeth adds, “One of the biggest challenges you face is changing your mindset. I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. Words, painting, now programming.” 4. What can we learn about science projects according to this passage? A. They need skills in building models. B. They may involve great imagination C. They can come from different hobbies. D. They will inspire teens to find solutions 5. What is Elizabeth’s programming used for? A. Creating fine works. B. Protecting nature. C. Strengthening memories. D. Storing information. 6. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph? A. Well begun is half done. B. Every effort will pay off. C. Imagination is the source of creation. D. Laugh it off when facing difficulties. 7. What is Elizabeth doing with her words in the last paragraph? A. Offering advice. B. Giving response. C. Expressing doubts. D. Making promises. C A new study has found that ride-sharing services result in much more pollution than other kinds of private and public transportation. Ride-sharing trips also draw passengers away from more environment friendly methods of travel, like public transportation, walking or biking, the study found. Several studies in recent years have suggested that ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traffic problems in cities. The new study represents an attempt to center on how ride-sharing services affect pollution. Overall, the researchers reported that ride-sharing trips now "result in a 69 percent more climate pollution on average than the trips they replace." The study notes that the same passengers could have chosen to travel by bus, train, bike or on foot. One of the big reasons they give for this result is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven with no passengers in the car. This happens when drivers are either waiting for rider requests, are on the way to pick up passengers. This situation, known as "deadheading," takes up about 42 percent of all ride-sharing driving activity, the study found. The researchers said that deadheading results in about 50 percent more carbon dioxide than one person driving in a private vehicle. Both Uber and Lyft have said in the past that most studies on the subject overstate (夸大）the effects of their services on pollution. Uber told Reuters news agency in a statement it had no comment on the latest report and that the study made misleading claims about ride-sharing. Meanwhile, the company said it would work directly with cities to address climate changes, promoting sharing trips and other means of transportation. 8. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Ride-sharing becomes a new trend that can’t be avoided. B. Ride-sharing industry is met with criticism. C. Ride-sharing services increase pollution. D. Ride-sharing services need improvement. 9. The term “deadheading” in the passage refers to ________. A. a driving process where the driver is not carrying passengers B. a potential risk that the driver may lose control of the vehicle C. a period of driving hours when vehicles produce more carbon dioxide D. a situation in which a driver has too many passengers to pick up 10. In the eyes of Uber, the latest report is actually________. A. barking up the wrong tree B. not seeking the truth from facts C. killing two birds with one stone D. beating around the bush 11. From the study of ride-sharing services, we can infer that ________. A. Ride-sharing attracts exactly the same number of people as traditional means of transport. B. the study was conducted to prove the influence of ride-sharing services on modern cities C. ride-sharing service is not an environmentally friendly way to travel D. the new report has forced Uber to make big changes to achieve its goal D What you do after studying could have a big influence on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep. When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied. The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games. While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning — what is called “wakeful rest”. A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest. If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy! Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS) notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well.” It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information. ” The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get about between 6 and 7 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less. Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That’s it — a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn. 12. According to the research, shortly after studying students are recommended ______ A. to take a wakeful rest. B. to play a video game. C. to have a nice sleep at night. D. to read a newspaper. 13 What’s paragraph 3 mainly about? A The importance of sleep. B. The types of resting activities. C. The good ways to get a rest. D. The reason for having a rest. 14. How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF? A. Less than 6 hours. B. No more than 7 hours. C. Around 8 hours. D. Just 7 hours. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Low-cost Tips on Working. B. Good Things to Do After Your Study. C. Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep? D.
