Many teenagers now have sleeping problems. They often stay up late to finish homework or play with mobile phones. As a result, they feel sleepy in class the next day and can’t focus on their studies.
A recent study shows that nearly 60% of middle school students sleep less than 8 hours every night. Doctors say teenagers should sleep 8 to 10 hours a day. Enough sleep is very important for their physical and mental health. Without enough sleep, teenagers may easily get angry and have trouble dealing with problems.
What causes sleeping problems among teenagers? First, heavy schoolwork is the main reason. Many students have to finish lots of homework every day, so they have to stay up late. Second, using mobile phones before bed also makes it hard to fall asleep. The blue light from the screen stops people from feeling sleepy. Third, some students feel stressed about exams and grades, so they can’t sleep well at night.
How can we solve the problem? Experts give some advice. First, make a proper study plan and try to finish homework during the daytime. Second, stop using phones at least an hour before going to bed. You can read a book or listen to soft music instead. Third, learn to relax. Taking a walk or doing some exercise during the day can help you sleep better at night.
1. What may happen if teenagers don’t have enough sleep?
A. They may do well in studies. B. They may get angry easily.
C. They may feel very relaxed. D. They may be in good health.
2. What is the main reason for teenagers’ sleeping problems?
A. Heavy schoolwork. B. Using mobile phones. C. Exam stress. D. Bad living habits.
3. Why is it bad to use phones before bed?
A. Because it makes people feel hungry. B. Because it is bad for people’s eyes.
C. Because the blue light stops people from feeling sleepy. D. Because people may see bad news on phones.
4. Which of the following is NOT the experts’ advice?
A. Finish homework during the daytime. B. Stop using phones before bed.
C. Do some exercise to relax. D. Drink a cup of coffee before bed.
5. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Teenagers’ sleeping problems and solutions. B. The importance of enough sleep.
C. How to get on well with parents. D. Ways to deal with exam stress.
三、首字母填空

四、书面表达(参考范文)
It is common to have disagreements with parents during our teenage years. Last month, I wanted to join the school singing club, but my parents didn’t agree. They thought it would take up too much time and influence my studies. I felt very upset and didn’t talk to them for two days.
Later, I decided to communicate with them calmly. I told them that singing could help me relax and I would finish all my schoolwork first. I also made a study plan to show them I could balance study and hobby. Finally, my parents agreed.
From this experience, I learned that calm communication is much better than arguments. Understanding each other is the key to solving problems.
