Some children think writers are great and they can tell people a lot. So they also wish to be writers some day. They mean that they want to write stories or books which many persons will read. I would like to remind (提醒) them that they will need to be good readers and to read a lot in order to be good writers.
Nearly all great writers read too long before they started to school, and read for hours and hours every day since they became good readers. Instead of watching TV in the evening, they spend much of their spare time reading books.
If you are a good reader, it won’t take you long to do the reading homework your teacher asks you to do. Then you will have time to read other books for fun. Because you read so well, you keep looking for more books to read.
While making up your mind to become a good writer, you had better say to yourself, “I must read more and more if I am really to become a good writer.”
50. If you want to be a good writer, you should ________.
A. go to school
B. watch TV
C. look for more books
D. read a lot
51. Which one is TRUE in the following sentences?
A. To be a good writer, we shouldn’t watch TV.

B. Reading books wastes us too much time.

C. Be a good reader before becoming a good writer.

D. I must write more and more without reading any books.

52. What does the writer of this passage want to do?
A. Introduce a good read to us.

B. Tell us how to be a good writer.

C. Tell us that writing is much more important than reading.

Beauty sleep is a real thing. Researches (研究者) have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive (有魅力的) to others.
A few bad nights are enough to make a person look “especially” more ugly their sleep experiments (实验) show. The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked to get a good night’s sleep for two nights.
A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row (接连).The researchers took make-up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good sleep and the bad sleep.
Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge them on attractiveness, health and sleepiness as well as asking them, “How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?”
The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.
The strangers also said they wouldn’t want to socialize (交往) with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy - looking face makes people run away. In other words, people don’t want to hang around with people who might be ill.
Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool, said, “Judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious (无意识的), but we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us.”
53.When did the researchers take make-up free photos?
A. After two nights’ good sleep.


B. After two nights’ bad sleep.
C. Before the experiment.
D. After both two nights’ good sleep and two nights’ bad sleep.

54.The researchers asked the strangers to do the following except _________ .
A. telling who looked healthier
B. telling who didn’t have many friends
C. telling who missed a lot of sleep
D. telling who was attractive

55.What kind of friends did the strangers like to make?
A. The people who were tired.
B. The people who were sleepy.

C. The people who were unhealthy.
D. The people who were attractive and energetic.
56.According to the passage, which of the following is the best title?
A. Beauty sleep, more attractive
B. More sleep, more friends
C. Less sleep, fewer friends
D. No attractiveness, no friends

D
We were alone in darkness and silence (寂静). The men dragged (拖) us into the submarine (潜艇). They didn’t speak as they pushed us into the dark room and locked us in. Who were they? What would they do to us? Ned Land was angry and began to shout.
“Shouting will not help,” I said. “We should stay calm.” Suddenly, a door opened and two men came in. One of them was short and strong. The other was tall and handsome. It was easy to see that the tall man was the captain.
①They spoke to each other in a language that I could not understand. I told them our story, speaking in French, but they did not seem to understand me. Ned repeated the story in English and Conseil in German , but they did not speak. I told it again in Latin (拉丁语). They sat and looked at us, and then got up and left the room, locking the door behind them …
②At last, the door opened and a man came in, Ned attacked him. “Please be calm. Mr. Land!” We were surprised to see that it was the captain, speaking French.
③He said, “I understood everything that you said when you told me your story. I could not visit you again sooner than this because I had to decide what to do with you. Your ship hunted (找到) me. You shot at me with your guns and hit me with your harpoon (鱼叉). You wanted to destroy me. You are my enemies (敌人), and I could throw you into the sea to die.”
“No civilized (文明的) man would do that!” I said.
④“I am not what you call a civilized man,” he answered angrily. “However, I decided that it might be interesting to let you live. You are free to go around the ship and see everything that happens. However, I want you to promise two things.”

Do you like the Harry Potter stories? Hailey Skoch, an 18-year-old high school student from Arkansas, USA, is a big fan of these magical stories. Recently, the girl did something “magical” by herself- turning several Harry Potter books into a beautiful prom (正式舞会)dress.
In order to make the dress, Hailey bought some old Harry Potter books from a second-hand store. She took the books apart page by page. The girl then spent four days folding, sewing (缝制)and gluing hundreds of pages together. In the end, the one-of-a-kind dress magically worked out!
When Hailey appeared at her school’s prom wearing this dress, almost all of her classmates were amazed by her artwork. After the prom, Hailey posted some pictures of her dress online. Soon, the photos were widely spread (传开). Several designers and photographers tried to contact (联系) her. Two local libraries even asked her if they could put the dress on display.
Hailey, however, said she did not plan to display the dress. “For me, it’s a piece of art about growth and my transition (过渡) into my adult self,” said the girl. In her childhood, she was shy and nerdy (书呆子气的). Reading the Harry Potter stories led her to look for and discover some “magic” and courage in her own life. For this reason, the girl decided to keep this dress, as well as her childhood dreams, just for herself.
