Johnson had a sense of humor.He liked whisky and drank some each day."I have an injection
in my neck each evening,"he told the newspaperman,thinking of his evening glass of whisky.

So it is necessary for us to have enough sleep.
Sleep scientists have long known that getting a good night's sleep is very important.It helps
kids be able to do their best during the day.
A recently study shows that sleep helps improve problem-solving skills and creative thinking.
For the study,two groups of students were asked to answer a math problem.The group that slept
eight hours solved the problem correctly more often than the group that didn't get enough sleep.
While you sleep at night,your brain is busy with its "homework".It sorts out all the
information that you get in the day.Getting enough sleep each night can improve your thinking
ability.That will surely help you do your best at school.Scientists say,in return,it can lead to
better grades.

Welcome to the MoMath Museum
Introductions:
The National Museum of Mathematics(MoMath)opened on Dec.16,2016 on two floors of an
office building north of Manhattan's Madison Square Park.It is the builder,Glen Whitney,42,a
mathematician and former fund analyst who helped raise $23.5 million for the 19,000-square-foot
museum.
A door handle of the museum is shaped like the symbol T,which stands for a door opening a
new world of maths,including numbers,shapes,colors and so on.The MoMath museum is
America's first math museum.
Features:
It provides a unique and interactive experience that makes math exciting.Its purpose is to
develop stronger future mathematicians across the nation by giving people fun and hands-on ways
to learn math concepts(概念).
Activities:
Throughout the museum,visitors take part in various games and programs.The museum hopes
that by having visitors participate in the exhibits,they will better understand mathematical
concepts.An example of this hands-on method of learning is a ride called The Coaster Roller.
Visitors glide in a rounded triangle cart across an acorn-shaped track that miraculously creates a
smooth surface.
The Marble Multiplier,3D Printer,and the Enigma Cafe are among other user-friendly play
zones where math theories are applied and challenged.In the exhibit Rhythms of Life,guests fill a
circle with fractions()that add up to 1.Each fraction represents a different sound and rhythm,
when combined in a single circle,visitors learn how they combine to form complex patterns of
sound.Each of these exhibits brings math concepts to life and sparks curiosity for visitors of all
ages.
The MoMath museum is a place where everyone can connect by learning complicated math
concepts.Even the students who live far from New York City can be part of the fun.MoMath has
a traveling museum called the Math Midway,which tours around the country to schools and
community centers.

第二节:(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多
余选项。
Do you know what a big dream is?11 Or,is a big dream something that provides only
fun?Children dream big dreams,but there are three barriers()to realizing dreams.They often
kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.
The Self
Immediately following the birth of a big dream,a negative self-talk takes over and gives all
the reasons why it cannot happen.This inside voice is the ego ()It's there for protecting and
should be listened to.12 Most people are influenced by the inside voice.That's
why only a handful of people make their dreams come true.
13
Family and friends are a lot like the ego.They want to protect those they love,so they will
often list all the reasons why the big dreams won't come true.Sometimes,family and friends
destroy dreams of those they love most,out of their own fear of being left behind.
The World
If one gets past the first two barriers,one has to face the world.14In the past,big
dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world.
Fortunately,in most of the world today,big dreamers just get laughed at.
The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action.When children have confidence
and then take action,they will be ready to accept any failure.The truth is that every great dreamer
whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well.15
A.Family and Friends
B.How Big Dreams Die
C.Does a big dream show one's future?
D.They simply fail until they succeed.
E.Sometimes it is right,but more often it is wrong
F.It is the last and the most terrible barrier.
G.And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.
