7、r is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is unusual for what it contains: the news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the comments and special features(特写) as well, from editorial page to feature articles, from interviews to criticism of
8、books, art, theatre, and music. A newspaper is even more unusual for the way one reads it never completely, never straight through but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, or reading just a few paragraphs of the next.A
9、good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality, that is, its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But this immediacy
10、and the speed of production that goes with it also mean that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than temporary value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that days paper, his own selection and ord
11、er, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self- awareness(自知) as you change and apply the techniques of reading.4. What does the underlined word
12、 “topicality” in the second paragraph mean ?A. Wide coverage.B. Speed in reporting newsC. Various styleD. Popularity among readers.5.

13、refer different newspapersC. people scan for the news they are interested inD. people have different views about what a good newspaper is6. A good newspaper offers “a variety” to readers because_.A. readers like to read different newspapersB. it has to cover things that happen in a certain localityC
14、 readers are difficult to pleaseD. it tries to serve different readers7. The best title for this passage would be “_”.A. The characteristics of a good newspaperB.

15、ood nights sleepbut what does that really mean? It turns out that the answer depends not only on your age, but also on your lifestyle. Some people are productive and happy with fewer hours of sleep, while others need more. Still, experts can determine guidelines that work for most people. The Nation
16、al Sleep Foundation researched the topic and gave new recommendations. The foundation acknowledges that sleep needs will varylifestyle and stress should be taken into considerationbut their recommendations offer a general guideline. For example, teenagers need 8-10 hours sleep every day.To create th
17、e recommendations, some sleep and medical experts reviewed 312 articles from journals published during the last decade. This is the first time that a professional organization has developed age-specific recommended sleep duration based on a systematic review of the world scientific literature. A lac
18、k of sleep can be linked to weight gain, because that causes an increase in appetite, according to the foundation. It can also have serious consequences on the brain. People who do not get enough sleep are at increased risk of depression, and can endanger others. Those who become sleepy while drivin
19、g, for example, risk both their lives and the lives of those around them.Researchers also have found in the past that too much sleep can have negative effects. Low socioeconomic status(收入水平低) and depression reportedly are significantly associated with longer sleep. However, experts nowadays find tha
20、t research on oversleeping is still unconvincing and needs more attention. Currently, there is no strong evidence that sleeping too much has health consequences. There is, however, laboratory evidence that short sleep duration of four to five hours has negative consequences. We need similar laborato
21、ry studies to determine whether long sleep duration results in physiological changes that could lead to disease before we make any recommendations against sleep extension.8. What can be learned about sleeping time ?A. The time you need for sleep is related to your state of mindB. Experts guidelines
22、for sleeping time apply to all the peopleC. The less you sleep, the more productive you areD. The more you sleep, the more energetic you are9.

23、 doing systematic experiments10. What will people without enough sleep probably do according to the research? A. Lose some weightB. Eat more foodC. Dream during their sleepD. Drive faster than usual11. What can be learned from Paragraph Four ?A. Too much sleep may result in social changesB. Research

Research on oversleeping is quite convincingDFirst aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skilful medical treatment is available.

First aid must be administered as quickly as possible. In the case of the critically injured, a few minutes can make a dif
26、ference between complete recovery and loss of life.First-aid measures depend upon a victims needs and the providers level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to perm
27、anent spinal(脊柱的) injury and paralysis(瘫痪).Despite the variety of injuries possible, several principles of first aid apply to all emergencies.
