Passage One
After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessa
ry for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!
41. A good tile for this passage is ____.
A. Sleep B. Good health
C. Dreams D. Work and Rest
42. During the four levels of your sleep, ____.
A. your body works slowly

C. you are restless
D. both A and B

A. staying up B. a little sleepy
C. getting sick D. awake all the time
Passage Two
Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be caref
ul when we drive them or ride in them.
It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why?
Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. I
f the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When th
e skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying, it will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo, a famous Swedish car maker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849.
Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them.
Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car h
its something, its air bags will come out quickly – in less than one second – to keep the people inside safe.
44. We have to be careful in driving a car mainly because it could be ____.
A. little fun B. a pleasure C. a lot of trouble D a great danger
45. The example of an egg on a skateboard is used to show that ____.
A. eggs break easily on a moving skateboard

D seat belts are important to safety
46 According to the passage, air bags are another device that ____.

47. The best title for the passage is ____.
A. Make a Car Safe Inside B. Buy a Volvo with Airbags
C. Fasten Your Seat Belts D. Add Air Bags to Cars
Passage Three
All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition:
to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”
For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the l
ucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”
One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to
her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”

Passage Four
Internet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health， according to
research at Carnegie Mellon University.
Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced m
ore bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently， the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations (期
望). They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television， since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends ma
y account for the drop in psychological health， researchers hypothesized （推测）。 Faceless， bodiless “virtual”（虚
的） communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation ， and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
“But it‘ s important to remember this is not about the technology， it’ s
about how it is used，”says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel， one of the study‘ s sponsors （发起
人）。 “It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.”
52. What’s the finding of the research undertaken at Carnegie Mellon University ？
A. People spend more time on the Internet now.
B. People spend less time with their families and friends now.
C. The Net proves socially healthier than television.
D. Internet use may cause a drop in psychological health.
53. What had the researchers expected before the research？
A. The Net may account for the drop in psychological health.
B. Internet use may improve social health.
C. Spending much time on the Internet makes people feel bad and lonely.
D. Internet use has nothing to do with social health.
54. Which is not true according to the passage？
A. The Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
B. Internet communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation.
C. Undeveloped Internet technology causes the drop in psychological health.
D. The wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
55. What does Christine Riley，the psychologist，suggest ？
A. It‘s necessary to take social factors into account in designing applications and services for technology.
B. It’s important to tell the users how to design and apply the technology.
C. Compared with social factors, the technology itself has more influence on the Internet users.
D. No social factors should be considered in applications and services for technology.
Passage Five
“Congratulations, Mr. Smith, it's a girl.”
Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response (反
应) from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy(怀
孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift f
rom the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this re-socialization (重新适
应) process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.
It is argued by some writers that the transition (转
变) to the father's role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother's role. The mother's role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine (常
规) and highly innovative (创新的) adaptation (适
应), on the other hand, the father's role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the family.
56. According to the passage, being a father _____.
A. brings a feeling of excitement to some men
B. has a different meaning for those who have daughters
C. makes some men feel proud and others uneasy
D. means nothing but more responsibility
57. It is stated in the second paragraph that _____
A. young couples do not like children at all
B. some parents are not prepared to have a child
C. working couples do not have much time to take care of their children
D. many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child
58. In the third paragraph, the author ______.
A. criticizes fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up their children
B. excuses the American writers for ignoring the difficulties of being a father
C. supports the idea that the chief role of a father is to earn money for the family
D. complains about the lack of social programs to help husbands adjust themselves to being a father
59. The transition to the mother's role requires that the wife ______.
A. stay at home to take care of the baby
B. change her life style in a highly innovative way
C. make a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situation
D. help her husband in his re-socialization process
60. Some writers argue the change of roles, fathers_____, compared with mothers.
A. have an easier job to transform the roles
B. have to make more difficult adaptations
C. have to shoulder more burdens
D. can usually do a better job

ore bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently， the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations (期
望). They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television， since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends ma
y account for the drop in psychological health， researchers hypothesized （推测）。 Faceless， bodiless “virtual”（虚
的） communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation ， and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
“But it‘ s important to remember this is not about the technology， it’ s
about how it is used，”says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel， one of the study‘ s sponsors （发起
人）。 “It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.”

Passage Five
“Congratulations, Mr. Smith, it's a girl.”
Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response (反
应) from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy(怀
孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift f
rom the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this re-socialization (重新适
应) process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.
It is argued by some writers that the transition (转
变) to the father's role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother's role. The mother's role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine (常
规) and highly innovative (创新的) adaptation (适
应), on the other hand, the father's role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the family.

C. supports the idea that the chief role of a father is to earn money for the family
D. complains about the lack of social programs to help husbands adjust themselves to being a father
