Raise your hands, please. Wow, there are a lot of hands. Doctors recommend that teens get at least eight to ten hours of sleep each night. However, in practice, many teens struggle to make IT. This is often due to a conflict between nature and modern life. During our teenage years, our body clocks tend to move forward. This natural change makes us want to go to sleep and wake up much later. However, as society usually demands we get up early, the key is finding a way to fall asleep earlier. Later on in the lesson will be talking about how stress and screen addiction can also impact our sleep. But first we're going to study the ten, three, two, one sleep role. This means that ten hours before bed, you stop drinking tea, coffee and other energy drinks. Your last meal of the day should be at least three hours before bed. Homework and other work should be completed at least two hours before bed. One hour before bed, you shut off all screens. These tips will help ready your body for sleep and help you drop off to sleep much more quickly. Good morning, everyone. It's time for our weekly health class.

He is a star act or of Children’s Theatre, having played leading roles in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “The Wizard of Oz,” and is fresh from Jersey Production “Ragtime”. McMath is a junior at Beechwood High School. He was in the cast of “Tom Sawyer” when it was first performed and is a Children’s Theatre regular, with five shows to his credit. This summer he attended Kentucky’s Governor’s School for the Arts in Musical Theatre.

B When Narayanswami was invited to a dinner by a friend who worked at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, she was excited. Many of the guests flew planes. “I must have expressed some yearning(渴望),”she says, because someone told her “You should join the flying club!” The next day Narayanswami, who was 57 at the time, arranged to meet an instructor. “I said ‘Aren’t I too old?” He said “We’ve got students in their 80s.” Narayanswami grew up in Southwest London, and at grammar school suffered horrific racist bullying. The library provided shelter. But, as she reached her late teens, she feel family pressure for an arranged marriage; “I really protested,” she says. “But I want to be an astronaut! My mother made a promise. As long as you are getting an education we will not look for a husband for you.” Narayanswami studied biology at Leicester University, then did a PhD at St Andrew, followed by postdoctoral research at the University of California. “Every time you move you get further away,” her dad remarked on the phone. “I didn’t feel I would be able to escape unless I did that,” she says. In 2020, aged 64, Narayanswami finished 423 flight hours she needed to earn her pilot's license. Then she applied to Nasa’s astronaut corps, but received a very appreciative rejection. Even now, at 66, she says “I haven't been able to figure out how to deal with it. It doesn’t go away.” The racist bullying she received as a child has cast a very long shadow. Flying has helped. It is a workout: she has to tow the plane out to the taxiway. And it offers a different perspective. “I can see eagles, bears, mountain lions, birds of prey. I love the beauty of the clouds. They are like hills. Vaster than our hills,” she says. New possibilities have arisen—Narayanswami chairs the board of the General Aviation Awards in the US—but she finds relaxing difficult. In flight, she is part of a huge network of people who are communicating by radio frequency. There is no sense of skin colour. We are all tied together by our voices. 24. How did the instructor’s words sound to Narayanswami? A. Disappointing. B. Embarrassing. C. Annoying. D. Encouraging. 25. What does the,underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Accepting an aged marriage. B. Receiving an education. C. Keeping a distance. D. Making a promise: 26. What does Narayanswami think of Nasa's rejection? A. It indicates prejudice against her. B. It ruins her childhood memory. C. It raises concern for her age. D. It leaves room for negotiation. 27. What does flying bring to Narayanswami? A. A good way of relaxation. B. A different dimension of life. C. A rich knowledge of wildlife. D. A full exhibition of leadership. C Every Saturday morning, as the clock strikes 9 am, over 50,000 eager runners set off on a 5km journey around their local parks. The Parkrun phenomenon, which originally began as a small gathering among a group of friends, has now boosted 400 events globally, which offer a free and inclusive opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to participate. Runners range from four-year-olds to grandparents whose finishing times are greatly different. Parkrun is succeeding where London’s Olympic “legacy” has failed. Ten years ago, it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olympics would be held in London. Planning documents promised that the Games’ lasting legacy would be to move a nation of sport lovers away from their couches—making the population fitter, healthier and producing more winners. This hasn’t happened. The number of adults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million before 2012, but the general population had already been growing faster than this number. Worse yet, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of weekly sport have nearly halved. Obesity has risen among adults and children alike. Officials still wonder why London 2012 failed to “inspire a generation”. The success of Parkrun can offer us some answers. Parkrun is not a race but a time trial: Your only competitor is the clock. Its concept welcomes everybody. There is as much joy for a breathless first-timer being clapped over the line as there is for the sport’s top talent. The Olympic hosts, however, wanted to get more people doing sports and to produce more top athletes. The dual aim was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was discouraging to newcomers. It’s a bit strange for the state to get involved in planning “grassroots” concepts like community sports associations. If the government has a role, it should focus on public goods—ensuring playing spaces, funding for tennis and netball courts, and encouraging such activities in schools. But governments one after another are responsible for selling green spaces, reducing money from local authorities and paying less attention to sport in education. Future governments need no wordy plans; instead, they should do more to help sport become active and successful, or at least not make it worse. 28. What does the first paragraph show about Parkrun? A. It has created numerous job opportunities. B. It has gained increasing popularity worldwide. C. It has promoted stronger community connections. D. It has gained official recognition as an official festival. 29. What does the underlined word “accelerating” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Slowing down. B. Speeding up. C. Remaining unchanged. D. Going up and down. 30. Parkrun is different from the Olympic Games because Parkrun ______. A. aims to discover new talent B. thinks highly of mass competition C. doesn’t stress sports excellence D. isn’t planned for first-timers 31. According to paragraph 5, the author suggests that governments should ______. A. manage local sports organizations B. increase the money for sports clubs C. organize “grassroots” sporting events D. put efforts into public sports facilities D In 1959, Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced “Barbie” to the world. With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market. Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time, Handler, to much disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman. “My own philosophy of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.” There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald (光头的) Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous,” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘It’s time to be beautiful again.’” Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism during an extremely distressing time for little families. 32. Why did Handler create Barbie? A. To make a hit in the retail market. B. To appeal to girls with her diverse outfits. C. To do a project on women’s career choices. D. To inspire girls to make choices as they wish. 33. How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie? A. Sad yet comforted. B. Envious yet proud. C. Overwhelmed and ashamed. D. Heartbroken and regretful. 34. What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle’s family? A. A reliable emotional support. B. A glue for broken relationships. C. An effective practical treatment. D. A secret medium of negotiation. 35. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A medical journal. B. A charity brochure. C. A financial report. D. A story collection. E I’ve been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree. It’s a unique tree. In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden. The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties that I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed to flourish. What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress. Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it. Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves. Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder. 36. Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden? A. To protect the injured skull. B. To prevent herself from sunburn. C To avoid being hit by the nuts. D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees. 37. What is the tree’s survival strategy? A. It attracts beneficial pollinators. B. It lets out poison to drive away pests. C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants. D. It competes for nutrition with similar species. 38. Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree? A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience. B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden. C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures. D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden. 39. The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________. A. it’s better to give than to take B. trees and plants have their own ways to flourish C even a good relationship is not always trouble-free D. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to be 第二节（共5题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Soothe the Sunday scaries Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets neglected during the workweek. But as the weekend comes to an end, many are missing out on Sunday Funday and instead experiencing an overwhelming sense of anxiety and even dread about the upcoming week. ___40___ Some people describe it as a heaviness they can feel in their body, while others feel so unsettled that they could jump out of their skin. Even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable. Here’s how experts say you can ease your end-of-weekend anxiety.

Have something to look forward to. This gives you the opportunity to shift your thoughts to fun and will help improve your mood. End your Sunday with the right energy. Sunday night is a proper wind-down time. Maybe you want to journal, do a face mask, read a few pages of a good book. Do your best to honor this time and make Sunday night all about you. ___44___ A.
