10、ifferent zones. The upper floor is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading, and places where you can sit and work with your own computer. The reading places consist mostly of tables and chairs. The ground floor is the zone where you can talk. Here you can find sofas and armchairs
11、 for group work.ComputersYou can use your own computer to connect to the Wi-Fi specially prepared for notebook computers; you can also use library computers, which contain the most commonly used applications, such as Microsoft Office. They are situated in the area known as the Experimental Field on
12、the ground floor.Group-study PlacesIf you want to discuss freely without disturbing others, you can book a study room or sit at a table on the ground floor. Some study rooms are for 2-3 people and others can hold up to 6-8 people. All rooms are marked on the library maps. There are 40 group-study ro

17、ou probably can.But tens of thousands of British high school students will soon be getting up later. Theyre taking part in a new experiment by Oxford University to see if later classes can improve their exam results.Grades 10 students in the UK have to take the nationwide General Certificate of Seco
18、ndary Education (GCSE) exams. They have to pass these exams in order to study more advanced courses, and later apply for universities.The Oxford University project means that GCSE students from more than 100 schools across England will start school at 10 am, more than one hour later than the current
19、 start time (8:50 am).The project is based on scientific evidence that teenagers are “out of sync(同步)” with traditional school hours, the Telegraph reported. And what they need is more sleep in the morning.“We know that something funny happens when youre a teenager, in that you seem to be out of syn
20、c with the world,” said professor Colin Epsie, who is leading the study. “Your parents think its because you are lazy and opinionated（固执己见的）and everything will be OK if you could get to sleep earlier. But science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in the mornings.”Everyone follows a nat
21、ural cycle of sleep and wakefulness. Biology has decided that teenagers go to sleep around midnight and dont feel fully awake until 9-10 am, according to scientists. Thats two hours later than adults. And their body clocks stay like this until the age of around 21 for males, and 19 for females.“Soci
22、ety provides school for learning, but the brain provides sleep. So we are exploring the possibility that if you delay the schools start time until 10 am, that will improve learning performance,” said Epsie.The results could be positive, based on previous studies.An early study at the UKs Monkseaton
23、High School in 2009 found that starting an hour later improved grades in core subjects by 19 percent.The Oxford project is expecting to publish the results soon.

27、ad things we do to our bodies as adults, eating more than we should is the idea we carry with us from childhood. On one hand, we assume that we are indestructible. On the other hand, we think that any damage we impose on ourselves can be undone when we finally clean up our act.If the evidence for ho
28、w wrong the first idea is isnt apparent when you stand naked in front of the mirror, just wait. But what if you eat right and drop all your bad habits? Is there still time to repair the damage?来源:Z*xx*k.ComTo a surprising degree, the answer is yes. Over the past five years, scientists have collected
29、 a wealth of data about what happens when aging people with bad habits decide to turn their lives around.The heartening conclusion: the body has an amazing ability to heal itself, provided the damage is not too great.The effects of some bad habits-smoking, in particular, can haunt you for decades. B
30、ut the damage from other habits can be largely healed.“Any time you improve your behavior and make lifestyle changes, they make a difference from that point on.”says Dr. Jeffey Koplan.“Maybe not right away. Its like slamming on the brakes(踩刹车). You do need a certain distance.”But the distance can be
31、 remarkably short. Consider the recent announcements from the front lines of medical research: -A study concluded that women who consume as little as two servings of fish a week cut their risk of suffering a stroke to half that of women who eat less than one serving of fish a month. -The day you qui
32、t smoking, the carbon monoxide levels in your body drop dramatically. Within weeks, your blood becomes less sticky and your risk of dying from a heart attack starts to decline . Adopting healthy habits wont cure all that bothers you, of course. But doctors believe that many chronic diseases-from hig
33、h blood pressure to heart disease and even some cancers-can be warded off with a few sensible changes in lifestyle.Not sure where to start? Surprisingly, it doesnt matter, since one positive change usually leads to another. Make enough changes, and youll discover youve adopted a new way of life.27.
34、Most people with bad habits of eating more than they should believe that . A. their bodies cannot be damaged by the bad habits B. they can force themselves to clean up the had habits later C. their bodies can heal all the damage without the help from outside D. they can never change the habits that
35、have developed for decades28. The evidence against the assumption that we are indestructible .A is seldom apparent B. is clearly shown in the mirrorC. is still a question D. will appear obvious sooner or later29. According to the recent announcements .A. women should eat as much fish as possibleB. m

I wanted to pick up that warm bundle of loving fur and nestle him. I wanted to sing “Rock-a-bye Merlin”, as I did every night as he would put hi
39、s paws around my neck.Merlin was my comfort especially at times when I wondered if God was listening. But last night something had changed. Not only did I sing “Rock-a-Bye Merlin”, but I asked, “what will I do after you re gone？”Although Merlin was 19 years old, a senior in the age of a cat, he didn
40、t look or act that way. I didnt want to accept the fact that he was nearing the end of his lifetime. My job at the law firm was so demanding and stressful that I couldnt imagine getting through the day without Merlin waiting to greet me at home.I dialed the vets number. I asked for my husband but he
41、 already left. Then I took a breath and asked the question that no one wants to ask，“Is my Merlin still alive？”The nurse said “yes.”Ron came home and said that Merlin had almost no red blood cells left. White blood cells were replacing them. Merlin would need expensive transfusions most likely on a
42、monthly basis. We both knew Merlin was running out of time. I asked Ron to drive me to the vet so I could say goodbye to my little boy cat but he was beat tired and it was late. Ron said if Merlin was still alive the next morning then he would take me to the vet.The next morning I called the vet. Me

I thought he died already. I carefully edged my hand to reach his body. His body felt warm, but when I spoke h
44、is name there was no response. No response to his name or that I was there and that I loved him. I was extremely sad. In that examining room I felt helpless. I wondered how many people in an examining room felt as helpless as I did. Feeling driven to prayer, I yelled, “God this isnt good enough. I n
45、eed to see my Merlin the way I remember him, I need a miracle and I need it now！”At that moment, God granted a miracle. Merlins favorite compliment（奉承） entered my mind. I said, “Merlin, you are beautiful and you are gorgeous, do you hear me？”One eye opened.I said “Gotcha”. I kept repeating those wor
46、ds.Merlin opened the other eye and, one limb at a time, got up. He was waiting for that phrase. He wanted to hear that he was beautiful and gorgeous again.Then I experienced another miracle.There was no sound in that examining room until Merlin started walking to me. From out of nowhere, or maybe fr
47、om heaven, I clearly heard a song we sung in church often: “It Is Well With My Soul.” I remember thinking，“Yes, it is well with my soul. I got to see my little boy cat one more time.”Merlin walked to me. He put his face in mine, which he had never done before. He rubbed a circle around my face twice

I said to Merlin，“Tell God you are a good boy and how much we love you” and then handed him back to the nurse.Tears of gratitude poured forth in memory of a miracle. You see for
