We all know kids need a good night’s sleep in order to grow. After studying thousands of children, psychologist Mona El-Sheikh, a professor of child development, says children who don’t get enough sleep suffer from serious consequences.“They do not concentrate as well or perform well on tasks that are difficult to understand,” she explains. “Even worse, they may be more likely to be unhappy, sick or obese. Sleep is very important for brain development and also for emotional control.”As it turns out, what sleep gives, and what the lack of it takes away, may be much worse by poverty. “Poverty is a very major stress or for our children,” says El-Sheikh. On average, El-Sheikh says the children studied get about seven and a half hours of sleep. Experts say children aged 5 to 10 need about 10 to 11 hours of sleep a night.With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) El-Sheikh and her team at Auburn University are studying sleep shortage and how it has an impact on kids, including those who are otherwise deprived. El-Sheikh says the findings are clear. Sleep matters more for kids, and those who are poor need it most.“Children, especially those who live in poor neighborhoods and come from more economically disadvantaged homes are likely to benefit more when they sleep better and tend to suffer more when their sleep is poor,” she says.El-Sheikh is not sure why. She thinks it may be combination of all the stress factors in the children’s lives. The good news is, if poor kids get enough rest, that seems to level the playing field.“They don’t get sick as frequently, they are less violent, they don’t show as much depression and worry in the home, and they do much better at school.” So, even parents who are struggling can give their kids encouragement by sending them to bed early. It’s an idea worth sleeping on.29. El-Sheikh thinks sleep shortage may be worse because of ________.A. studyB. poor lifeC. homeworkD. stress30. The underlined word “consequences” in Paragraph 1 means ________.A. difficultiesB. similaritiesC. resultsD. differences31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Children aged 8 need about 10 hours of sleep a night.B. Kids who don’t get enough sleep can focus well.C. Children in poor areas need more sleep.D. Poor kids, if they get enough sleep, will benefit more.32. The best title for the passage is ________.A. Why sleep shortage is a problem for kidsB. How does sleep shortage happenC. Sleep is a problemD. How to sleep wellCOn the first day of school children can be very nervous. However, sometimes parents are more nervous than the students themselves. A new British survey shows that one in three parents are worried that their children will not make friends when they start school.The survey was carried out by Action for Children, a children’s charity in the UK. They questioned more than 2,200 parents and found that parents are more likely to care about their children’s ability to make friends than their lessons. 33% of the parents put not making friends on top of the list of their worries about their children, while just 11% of the parents said their main worry is that their children will not be able to keep up with the schoolwork.Everyone needs friends. They are a basic source of happiness and hope in our lives. However, the ability to make friends varies from person to person. To some people, making friends is easy, and to others it’s very difficult. We all have the ability to make friends. Unfortunately, many people never reach their potential. Making friends is a skill, and the first step in developing that skill is to know how to get along with others.Experts say it’s natural for some children to feel nervous if they don’t know how to get on well with others in a new environment. However, parents and teachers should help them learn some basic social skills such as sharing, helping, cooperation and communication.“Teach your child to know the importance of having friends. Let him or her know having hundreds of online friends is not the same as having a friend he or she can connect and be with in person every day,” stressed an expert.33. The survey made by Action for Children shows that ________.A. 11% of the students can’t keep up with the schoolworkB. parents care more about lessons of their children than friends makingC. 33% of the parents are most worried about their children’s making friendsD. almost 2,200 parents were questioned34.

Which of the following statements is NOT basic social skills?A. Share your traveling experience with others.B. Finish a project together with others.C. Read an interesting book.D. Give a hand to those in need.36. The best title of the passage may be ________.A The Importance of Making FriendsB. Making Friends for ChildrenC. Lessons of Friends MakingD. Making Friends: True or FalseDStudents aiming to enter Tsinghua University this year had better be able to swim or be prepared to learn swimming and pass a swim test since the top university will not grant bachelor’s degrees if they cannot swim.This September, would-be freshmen at Tsinghua University will have to take swimming courses if they fail a swimming test at the beginning of their university life, and they won’t receive their degrees if they cannot swim before their graduation, according to a message at a university staff meeting days ago, the Beijing Daily reported on Monday.Potential freshmen with chronic diseases, skin disease or hydrophobia, once examined and affirmed by medical staff, don’ t need to take the required test or course.Plans are for freshmen to take the test during their military training. In the test, students will pass the test if they can swim 50 meters, no matter whether they choose the breaststroke, butterfly, stroke, freestyle or backstroke. Those failing the test have to take a compulsory swimming course.“Now Tsinghua University will test students in long-distance running and swimming, so students with poor sports performance will have to overcome a lot of difficulties once they enter the university,” said a student surnamed Zhang from the Second High School Attached To Beijing Normal University.However, students don’t need to worry much, since Liu Bo, head of the Division of Sports Science and Physical Education, said relevant statistics showed that 90 percent of students can swim after taking the compulsory swimming course in their second year of university, and the remaining 10 percent will receive instruction after class provided by teachers, without paying extra tuition.And seeing the ability to swim as a must for students to earn their degrees is not something new in Tsinghua University, as this ability was listed on its school regulations in the early 20th century.“As early as 90 years ago, Tsinghua University required that students cannot graduate from the university or study overseas if they cannot swim, though the requirement didn’t work later on since the swimming pools at the campus could not accommodate increasingly more students” said Liu.37. Who will not get their bachelor’s degrees of Tsinghua University?A. Students who don’t take a compulsory swimming course.B. Students who fail a swimming test in the first year.C. Students who swim 100 meters in the test.D. Students who cannot swim before their graduation.38. Students don’t need to take the swimming test or course if they have the following diseases except for ________.A. heart diseaseB. skin diseaseC. chronic diseaseD. hydrophobia39. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Students with poor sports don’t need to worry about their performance at all.B. Students have to pay extra tuition if they receive instruction after class.C. Students can choose any swimming style to take the test.D. Tsinghua University has never made such a school regulation before.40 What is the purpose of the passage?A. To make a school regulation.B. To stress the importance of swimming.C. To explain swimming styles.D. To discuss the problems of swimming.第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）阅读短文及文后A—E 选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。From a plane we can see the fields, cities, mountains or seas below. ___41___.
