Sleep is important for health. How can we have healthy sleep? Take a look at some advice.Wake up naturallyWaking up to a ringing alarm is never fun. Studies show that when you get shocked by the alarm, your breathing will go up, your heart will have more beats and your blood pressure will rise."This is a very unhappy way to start the day," sleep scientist Whitney Roban said. "You'll feel worse if you go back to sleep a few more minutes. It's important to follow your body's natural sleep-wake cycle (循环)."So what should we do? Try to use an alarm with softer and lower sounds. Or leave a crack (缝隙) in the curtains(窗帘) – the rising sun will wake you up. Sleep early and get up earlySome young people may go to bed late and get up late, such as sleeping from 2 am to 10 am. They think as long as they have eight hours of sleep, everything will be fine. But in fact, our bodies can tell time. They use light and temperature to do so. If we wake up too late, our bodies might feel stuck between sleep and being awake. That's why sometimes we feel even more tired after oversleeping.24．According to studies, what will happen to your body if an alarm wakes you up suddenly?A．Your heart will beat faster.B．You may breathe more slowly.C．Your body temperature will go up.D．You will have lower blood pressure.25．Which of the following does Whitney Roban agree?A．Trying to use an alarm with louder sounds.B．Going back to sleep again after waking up.C．Reading magazines online before going to bed.D．Following the body's natural sleep-wake cycle.26．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．It is necessary for people to oversleep.B．Heavy work can lead to oversleeping.C．It is hard to change people's sleeping habits.D．Oversleeping sometimes makes us more tired.27．What is the passage mainly about?A．Why people need to sleep.B．Why people have sleeping problems.C．How to have healthy sleep.D．How to wake up in a natural way. 阅读理解As an artist, Pei Haozheng is well-known for paper folding.

I didn't actually know her well as we had only met once at a meeting. When I found myself in her town, we decided to meet up. Since we knew little about each other, we shared our stories, and she asked me many questions about my travels.When answering her questions about what I had learned in my travels, I told Nicole that travel had greatly improved my ability to "read" people and situations."Oh? OK. Read my friends over there," she challenged me.So I offered her my opinions about her friends and the other people in the bar."How did I do?" I asked when I had finished."Wow!" She was shocked.You might want to know how I was able to get those people right. For sure, I knew nothing about mind games. I judged(判断) their personalities simply by reading their body language, facial expressions, dress, and the way they talked with one another.I had travelled a lot before. When I was travelling, I couldn't always understand what people were trying to say to me as most of them didn't speak English. Non-verbal communication became very important. Whenever words failed, I depended on people's facial expressions. By watching how people behaved, I tried to work out how they felt about something. The tone (音调) in people's voices was quite helpful, too.The more I travelled and the more I talked with different people, the better I became at "reading" people. If you travel widely, you will be able to develop this ability, too.32．What was the relationship between Nicole and the writer before their recent meet?A．They were close friends.B．They didn't know each other well.C．They used to work in the same office.D．They often went to the bar together.33．How did Nicole feel after the writer had read her friends in the bar?A．Thankful. B．Nervous. C．Surprised. D．Uncomfortable.34．According to the article, how does the writer "read" people?A．By playing a clever trick on them.B．By surveying some of their friends.C．By having a short conversation with them.D．By studying their clothes, expressions and so on.35．What does the underlined word "non-verbal" mean?A．Taking place online. B．Not using words.C．Not writing English. D．Talking with strangers.四、阅读还原。(共10分，每小题2分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。 One afternoon, your computer shut off all of a sudden.
