Passage 1
Lots of kids hate school, a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn’t last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let’s talk about school and what to do when you don’t like it.
If you don’t like school, the first thing is to ▲ . You might not like school because you don’t have enough friends or maybe you don’t get along well with (与……相处好) your teacher. Sometimes it’s a big problem with your schoolwork. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it seems that you’ll never catch up.
When you know why you don’t like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It’s a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mom, dad, teacher or school counselor (顾问) will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It’s a real way to let out emotions (情绪).

Passage 2
There will be many worries when we grow up. Two months ago, Dongfeng Middle School asked five hundred students of Grade 8 about the problems they have in their normal lives, and got results as follows:
The picture is a mirror to tell us a serious thing that teenagers are facing too many worries. Some students write their feelings on the school website. Let’s have a look.
I can’t sleep well at night for more than a year. When I close my eyes, I see my mistakes on exam paper. I love my parents, and they hope I can go to a better high school. If I can’t do my best in the exams, I will break their hearts.
—Yang Kai (a boy)
I argued with my friend, so I was upset. We had a discussion yesterday. I said the robots would take humans’ place and work for us, but she disagreed with me. At first I thought it was not a big deal, but she didn’t talk to me today.
—Liu Wei (a girl)
How can students solve their problems? Here are some useful advice:
Talk with your friends, parents and teachers in a friendly way, share your feelings with them and let them know about your worries.

Passage 3
My aunt is good at cooking. She can cook delicious dishes, noodles and snacks (小吃). Among those snacks she cooks, a kind of snacks called Maibing is my favorite. I have eaten her Maibing since I was a little girl. Last time I paid a visit to her and asked her to teach me how to make Maibing.
Step One: Cut pork (猪肉) into thin pieces and cut the dried vegetables into small pieces. Then add a little sugar. At last, add an egg, a little salt, some water to the wheat flour (面粉) and mix them thoroughly (完全地) with chopsticks (筷子). Make sure you add the water slowly.
Step Two: When time is up, slightly and carefully press the flour into a circle. I think it’s not easy, especially for a green hand who still needs practice to be perfect. After you’ve done with it, it looks like a big ball.
Step Three: The following step is to bake Maibing. There are several different cookers which can be used for baking Maibing. As for home-made (自制的) Maibing, you can buy a small baking pan.
Maibing is a very popular local snack. I want to make it by myself sometime, following the above steps. My aunt’s Maibing is always more delicious than the one bought from the shops because she makes Maibing specially for us.

Passage 4
1. Although we now have more free time than before, it seems that we don’t feel that way. We may often waste time on phones or other things. And lots of information and pictures make our minds tired. Then we don’t have enough time to relax. To make ourselves really relaxed, we need to spend our free time well. Here are some useful ways.

Do you want to exercise, go on a trip or just relax yourself? Think about your activities that you like to do in your free time. Plan your time well and make sure you can really enjoy yourself.

4. Put your phone away.
It’s important to put your phone away because if you keep it close to you, it can make your heart beat faster with all kinds of messages. This will make it harder for you to enjoy your free time.

Passage 5
One evening last summer, when I asked my 14-year-old son, Jack, to help with dinner, his question shocked me. “What is a colander (漏勺)?” he asked.
Nobody else could cook for the family except my own! But that night, as I explained that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I knew what else I should had taught Jack. As a mother, while I cared about my son’s grades and characters, I always forgot that I should also raise someone’s future roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father. I just raised a boy who would always ask his mother, “What’s for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would open a housework course for Jack. I was glad to find that he didn’t say no.
For two hours, three days a week, Jack was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust (馅饼皮) and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven. I knew that he would like to play basketball, but he had to mend socks with his mother—he tried to stop the sewing lessons, but I refused him.
“I appreciate what you do as a mom,” he told me one day.
Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That’s what I call a man. I’m glad that I prepared a great gift for my future daughter-in-law (儿媳).
1. Why was the author shocked at her son’s question?

Passage 9
It’s easy to think “that will never happen to me,” but natural disasters (灾难) are becoming both more common and serious. Millions of families face floods, tornadoes (龙卷风) and other natural disasters every year. In Australia, for example, its wildfires from 2019 to 2020 were caused by the high temperature and a drought (干旱), taking away the lives of hundreds of people and billions of animals. While you can’t stop disasters from happening, you can stay safe during one if you know what to do.
Flood
Floods can happen very suddenly. Flood water can be deeper than it looks. It can carry you away, so stay away! Glass, snakes, and dirty things can be in flood water. They can make you sick, so don’t drink it even if you are thirsty.
Tornado
A tornado happens during some storms. If there’s a tornado warning, go someplace, such as a small and sturdy (结实的) bathroom, which is safe from the wind and flying things. Remember to keep away from windows or anything heavy that might fall onl you. Get down low and cover your head with your arms.
Earthquake
You can stay safe during an earthquake by moving away from things that might fall. Get down under something that’s strong if you can’t rush out of the building right away. Protect your neck and head with your arm. If you’re outside, go to an open space. Stay away from trees or anything that might fall over and hurt you.
Bushfire
Bushfires, also known as wildfires, are common across the world during the hotter months. It is important that you try to stay calm in a bushfire. Some fires can start so quickly that they threaten (威胁) homes and lives within minutes, so your safest choice is always to leave early. You’d better prepare an emergency survival kit and have it handy at all times.
No one wants to be caught in a dangerous and extreme situation. If the unthinkable does take place, having a plan and knowing what to do could make all the difference for you and your loved ones.

C.Stay away from windows or flying things when a tornado comes. ·
D.Stay under the trees after getting out of buildings in an earthquake.
4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

Passage 12
Sometimes a little self-criticism (自我批评) is not a bad thing. We can learn much from our mistakes. However, too much of it may result in health problems. When self-criticism becomes too much, it can turn into negative self-talk. Negative self-talk is that little voice in your head. It says you are not good enough.
Dr. Hugh, a scientist said that some good students who study hard usually do not do well in a test because of negative self-talk.
Lindsay was one of Hugh’s best students. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Hugh asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous. She was not sure that she knew the right answers. This is an example of negative self-talk. Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions. During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam? ★ ?
Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an “A” on the final exam in Hugh’s class.
Dr. Hugh saw students work out fine with his method. And he does not just help his students. He also advises his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life. He once said, “We can program ourselves for success in class or in life, or we can program ourselves for failure.”

Passage 13
Will future you still be you? It might seem like a strange philosophical (哲学的) question. But the answer to how you think about your future self could make the difference between decisions you finally find satisfying (满意的) and ones you might regret (后悔).
Brain imaging shows that when people think about their future selves, their brain patterns (模式) are similar to those when they think about strangers. This finding shows that, in the mind’s eye, our future selves look like other people. If you see future you as a different person, why should you save money, eat healthier or exercise more to be good for that stranger?
However, if you see the interests of your future self as more like those of your present self, you are more likely to do things today that are good for you tomorrow. A paper showed that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more likely to succeed in study. Relationships with our future selves are also important to general psychological well-being (幸福). In a project led by Joseph Reiff, which includes 5,000 adults aged 20 to 75, he found that those who knew the connection in qualities between their present and future selves ended up being more satisfied with their lives 10 years after the study.
So how can we better help our future selves and feel more connected to them? Vividness interventions (主动干预) works. We have found, for example, that showing people images of their older, grayer selves increases their willingness to save for the long term. Besides, you might try writing a letter to—and then from—your future self. As pointed out by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilson in their 2020 study in the journal Self and Identity, when high-school students took part in this type of “send-and-reply” exercise, they experienced increased levels of feelings of similarity with their future selves.
Letter-writing and visualization (想象) exercises are just two ways we can connect with our future selves, but the larger lesson here is clear: If we can treat our future selves as if they are people we love, care about and want to support, we can start making choices for them that improve our lives—both today and tomorrow.
1. The main purpose of Paragraph 2 is to ________.
A.introduce the following opinion B.introduce a research result
C.show the finding is important D.conclude different ideas
2. How does the writer prove (证明) his idea?
A.By offering numbers. B.By using others’ words.
C.By listing past findings. D.By making comparisons (比较).
3. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Importance of helping our future selves. B.Ways of connecting with our future selves.
C.Reasons for changing our way of thinking. D.Possibilities of us becoming our future selves.
4. What does the article want to tell us?
A.Making future plans makes a difference. B.Our future selves look like other people.
C.Getting to know our future selves is meaningful. D.Our choice affects the life of strangers.
5. Where does this text probably come from?
A.A storybook. B.A weather report. C.A travelling guide. D.A science magazine.
Passage 14
It is not an easy job to be a good parent. Here I’d like to share something with other parents.
I have learned that little kids are dogs, while teenagers are cats. It’s easy to be a dog owner. You feed it and train it, and it will put its head on your knee gently. Whenever you call it, it will run to you with great warmth.
Then around age 13, your lovely little puppy turns into a big old cat. When you ask it to come inside, it looks surprised, wondering why you give such an order. It may turn its nose up at the meal you’re offering.
When you reach out to touch its head, it will stay away from you, as if trying to hide its own secrets.
The kid now is not a dog any more. It thinks something in a totally different way. It seems so strange. Maybe it even doesn’t want to go out with its family members.
You may think that you’ve done something wrong, because you are the one who raises (抚养) it and stays with it all the time. Filled with guilt (内疚) and fear, you make an effort (努力) to make your pet under your control (控制), but the result always turns out (结果是) to be disappointing.
Instead of being like a dog owner, you should learn to act like a cat owner. Put a dish of food near the door, and let it come to you. But remember that a cat also needs your heal (治愈) and your love. You need to tell it there is a door which is always open for it.
One day, your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, “Let me get those dishes for you.”
1. From Paragraph 2, we can know that ________.
A.kids always like to stay with dogs
B.it’s easy to teach and train a child if he is smart
C.little kids will show their kindness to us if we care for them
D.dogs don’t know who takes good care of them
2. The sentence “It may turn its nose up at the meal you’re offering.” tells us that the cat ________.
A.tries checking out what its owner likes best B.doesn’t like the meal anymore
C.has a good habit of smelling before eating D.wants to check things first before it eats them
3. Which one is TRUE according to the passage?

Passage 15
①Eating good food and getting proper exercise are important to stay healthy. Getting enough sleep is important, too. Experts say that teenagers between the ages of 15 and 20 need 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night.
②Your body needs to take a rest from all the activities it has done during the day. Your brain needs a rest, too. You are likely to get sick easier without enough sleep.
③You have a “24-hour clock” inside your body that tells you when to be awake and when to go to sleep. ▲ Blue light that comes from the Sun tells your brain to keep you awake during the day. When there is no blue light at night, the brain tells the body that it’s time for sleep.
④There are many things that stop the brain from telling your body when it’s time to sleep. One of these is blue light at night. Today, people spend a lot of time watching television or looking at screens on computers or smart phones. These devices (装置) give off blue light. If you look at them at night, the blue light can trick your body into thinking it’s daytime. Then it is more difficult to go to sleep.
⑤What should you do to get good sleep? Experts say that you shouldn’t look at screens that give off blue light for at least one hour before going to sleep.
⑥ Do not watch TV or use anything with a computer screen in bed. If you need to do something to fall asleep, it is better to read a book. Also, keep your bedroom as dark as you can. This will help you sleep well.
Fun Fact
Going to bed at the same time every night helps you get used to a schedule so you will be ready to sleep at the proper time.

Step Two: When time is up, slightly and carefully press the flour into a circle. I think it’s not easy, especially for a green hand who still needs practice to be perfect. After you’ve done with it, it looks like a big ball.
Step Three: The following step is to bake Maibing. There are several different cookers which can be used for baking Maibing. As for home-made (自制的) Maibing, you can buy a small baking pan.

Passage 5
One evening last summer, when I asked my 14-year-old son, Jack, to help with dinner, his question shocked me. “What is a colander (漏勺)?” he asked.
Nobody else could cook for the family except my own! But that night, as I explained that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I knew what else I should had taught Jack. As a mother, while I cared about my son’s grades and characters, I always forgot that I should also raise someone’s future roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father. I just raised a boy who would always ask his mother, “What’s for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would open a housework course for Jack. I was glad to find that he didn’t say no.
For two hours, three days a week, Jack was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust (馅饼皮) and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven. I knew that he would like to play basketball, but he had to mend socks with his mother—he tried to stop the sewing lessons, but I refused him.
“I appreciate what you do as a mom,” he told me one day.
Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That’s what I call a man. I’m glad that I prepared a great gift for my future daughter-in-law (儿媳).
1. Why was the author shocked at her son’s question?
A.Because he disagreed to help with dinner. B.Because he was ready to help.
C.Because he didn’t even know what a colander is. D.Because he was so lazy.
2. The author realized that she should ________ that night.
A.care more about her son’s grades B.build up her son’s healthy characters
C.do something for Jack’s future life D.not make her son do so much homework

A.did all the housework for his family B.understood why his mom made him do that
C.could do better in his study D.always made big meals for his mom

In Australia, for example, its wildfires from 2019 to 2020 were caused by the high temperature and a drought (干旱), taking away the lives of hundreds of people and billions of animals. While you can’t stop disasters from happening, you can stay safe during one if you know what to do.
Flood
Floods can happen very suddenly. Flood water can be deeper than it looks. It can carry you away, so stay away! Glass, snakes, and dirty things can be in flood water. They can make you sick, so don’t drink it even if you are thirsty.
Tornado
A tornado happens during some storms. If there’s a tornado warning, go someplace, such as a small and sturdy (结实的) bathroom, which is safe from the wind and flying things. Remember to keep away from windows or anything heavy that might fall onl you. Get down low and cover your head with your arms.
Earthquake
You can stay safe during an earthquake by moving away from things that might fall. Get down under something that’s strong if you can’t rush out of the building right away. Protect your neck and head with your arm. If you’re outside, go to an open space. Stay away from trees or anything that might fall over and hurt you.
Bushfire
Bushfires, also known as wildfires, are common across the world during the hotter months. It is important that you try to stay calm in a bushfire. Some fires can start so quickly that they threaten (威胁) homes and lives within minutes, so your safest choice is always to leave early. You’d better prepare an emergency survival kit and have it handy at all times.
No one wants to be caught in a dangerous and extreme situation. If the unthinkable does take place, having a plan and knowing what to do could make all the difference for you and your loved ones.

Passage 12
Sometimes a little self-criticism (自我批评) is not a bad thing. We can learn much from our mistakes. However, too much of it may result in health problems. When self-criticism becomes too much, it can turn into negative self-talk. Negative self-talk is that little voice in your head. It says you are not good enough.
Dr. Hugh, a scientist said that some good students who study hard usually do not do well in a test because of negative self-talk.
Lindsay was one of Hugh’s best students. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Hugh asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous. She was not sure that she knew the right answers. This is an example of negative self-talk. Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions. During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam? ★ ?
Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an “A” on the final exam in Hugh’s class.
Dr. Hugh saw students work out fine with his method. And he does not just help his students. He also advises his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life. He once said, “We can program ourselves for success in class or in life, or we can program ourselves for failure.”

A. B. C. D.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. B 5. A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了负面自我对话对学生成绩和自信心的影响,并通过Lindsay的故事展示了通过积极自我对话来提高成绩和恢复自信的方法。
1. 推理判断题。根据“Sometimes a little self-criticism (自我批评) is not a bad thing.”及“However, too much of it may result in health problems.”可推断,作者通过比较的方式进入第1段的主题。故选D。
2. 推理判断题。第三段主要介绍了Lindsay的情况,她虽然平时学习努力,但考试成绩不佳,原因是紧张和不自信,这正好支持了第二段中提到的“负面自我对话”和负面自我对话对学生成绩的影响,即Dr. Hugh的观点。因此,第三段的目的是支持Dr. Hugh的观点。故选C。
3. 推理判断题。根据“Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions.”可知,Dr. Hugh把Lindsay消极的自言自语变成了积极的问题。而前文提到“During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam?”都是积极的自我对话,所以空格处也应是积极的自我提问。选项A“为什么我的答案是正确的”符合这一要求。故选A。
4. 词义猜测题。根据“Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions.”、“Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an ‘A’ on the final exam in Hugh’s class.”及“He also advises his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life.”可知,Dr. Hugh的方法帮助学生提高了成绩,并鼓励他的朋友和邻居在生活中逐渐摆脱负面自我对话。因此,“his method”指的是通过积极自我对话。故选B。
5. 篇章结构题。第一段首先提出负面自我对话的问题,第二、三、四、五段通过Lindsay的故事来支持这一观点,并展示积极自我对话的效果,因此,文章的结构是“总—分”的结构。故选A。
Passage 13
Will future you still be you? It might seem like a strange philosophical (哲学的) question. But the answer to how you think about your future self could make the difference between decisions you finally find satisfying (满意的) and ones you might regret (后悔).
Brain imaging shows that when people think about their future selves, their brain patterns (模式) are similar to those when they think about strangers. This finding shows that, in the mind’s eye, our future selves look like other people. If you see future you as a different person, why should you save money, eat healthier or exercise more to be good for that stranger?
However, if you see the interests of your future self as more like those of your present self, you are more likely to do things today that are good for you tomorrow. A paper showed that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more likely to succeed in study. Relationships with our future selves are also important to general psychological well-being (幸福). In a project led by Joseph Reiff, which includes 5,000 adults aged 20 to 75, he found that those who knew the connection in qualities between their present and future selves ended up being more satisfied with their lives 10 years after the study.
So how can we better help our future selves and feel more connected to them? Vividness interventions (主动干预) works. We have found, for example, that showing people images of their older, grayer selves increases their willingness to save for the long term. Besides, you might try writing a letter to—and then from—your future self. As pointed out by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilson in their 2020 study in the journal Self and Identity, when high-school students took part in this type of “send-and-reply” exercise, they experienced increased levels of feelings of similarity with their future selves.
Letter-writing and visualization (想象) exercises are just two ways we can connect with our future selves, but the larger lesson here is clear: If we can treat our future selves as if they are people we love, care about and want to support, we can start making choices for them that improve our lives—both today and tomorrow.
1. The main purpose of Paragraph 2 is to ________.
A.introduce the following opinion B.introduce a research result
C.show the finding is important D.conclude different ideas
2. How does the writer prove (证明) his idea?
A.By offering numbers. B.By using others’ words.
C.By listing past findings. D.By making comparisons (比较).
3. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Importance of helping our future selves. B.Ways of connecting with our future selves.
C.Reasons for changing our way of thinking. D.Possibilities of us becoming our future selves.
4. What does the article want to tell us?
A.Making future plans makes a difference. B.Our future selves look like other people.
C.Getting to know our future selves is meaningful. D.Our choice affects the life of strangers.
5. Where does this text probably come from?
A.A storybook. B.A weather report. C.A travelling guide. D.A science magazine.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 4. C 5. D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了自己与未来自己之间的关系,以及如何与未来的自己建立更紧密的联系。
1. 推理判断题。根据“Brain imaging shows that when people think about their future selves, their brain patterns are similar to those when they think about strangers. This finding shows that, in the mind’s eye, our future selves look like other people.”可知,当人们想到未来的自己时,他们的大脑模式与他们想到陌生人时的大脑模式相似。提出了本文的观点,在大脑的眼中,我们未来的自己看起来和其他人很像。故选A。
2. 推理判断题。根据“A paper showed that...”和“In a project led by Joseph Reiff,...”可知,作者通过列举过去的调查发现来证明自己的观点。故选C。
3. 推理判断题。根据“So how can we better help our future selves and feel more connected to them?”可知,第四段主要介绍了如何与未来的自己建立更紧密的联系。故选B。
4. 主旨大意题。根据“If we can treat our future selves as if they are people we love, care about and want to support, we can start making choices for them that improve our lives—both today and tomorrow.”可知,如果我们能像对待我们爱的、关心的和支持的人那样对待未来的自己,我们就能开始为他们做出改善我们今天和明天生活的选择,因此了解未来的自己很有意义。故选C。
5. 推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文是一篇有关自己与未来自己之间关系的科普类文章,能够在科学杂志上读到。故选D。
Passage 14
It is not an easy job to be a good parent. Here I’d like to share something with other parents.
I have learned that little kids are dogs, while teenagers are cats. It’s easy to be a dog owner. You feed it and train it, and it will put its head on your knee gently. Whenever you call it, it will run to you with great warmth.
Then around age 13, your lovely little puppy turns into a big old cat. When you ask it to come inside, it looks surprised, wondering why you give such an order. It may turn its nose up at the meal you’re offering.
When you reach out to touch its head, it will stay away from you, as if trying to hide its own secrets.
The kid now is not a dog any more. It thinks something in a totally different way. It seems so strange. Maybe it even doesn’t want to go out with its family members.
You may think that you’ve done something wrong, because you are the one who raises (抚养) it and stays with it all the time. Filled with guilt (内疚) and fear, you make an effort (努力) to make your pet under your control (控制), but the result always turns out (结果是) to be disappointing.
Instead of being like a dog owner, you should learn to act like a cat owner. Put a dish of food near the door, and let it come to you. But remember that a cat also needs your heal (治愈) and your love. You need to tell it there is a door which is always open for it.
One day, your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, “Let me get those dishes for you.”

Passage 15
①Eating good food and getting proper exercise are important to stay healthy. Getting enough sleep is important, too. Experts say that teenagers between the ages of 15 and 20 need 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night.
②Your body needs to take a rest from all the activities it has done during the day. Your brain needs a rest, too. You are likely to get sick easier without enough sleep.
③You have a “24-hour clock” inside your body that tells you when to be awake and when to go to sleep. ▲ Blue light that comes from the Sun tells your brain to keep you awake during the day. When there is no blue light at night, the brain tells the body that it’s time for sleep.
④There are many things that stop the brain from telling your body when it’s time to sleep. One of these is blue light at night. Today, people spend a lot of time watching television or looking at screens on computers or smart phones. These devices (装置) give off blue light. If you look at them at night, the blue light can trick your body into thinking it’s daytime. Then it is more difficult to go to sleep.
⑤What should you do to get good sleep? Experts say that you shouldn’t look at screens that give off blue light for at least one hour before going to sleep.
⑥ Do not watch TV or use anything with a computer screen in bed. If you need to do something to fall asleep, it is better to read a book. Also, keep your bedroom as dark as you can. This will help you sleep well.
