26、   When a big exam is coming up, you probably feel anxious about any wasted time and want to begin school as soon as you probably can.

But tens of thousands of British high school students will soon be getting up later. They’re 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 Secondary 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 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 you’re a teenager, in that you seem to be out of sync with the world,” said professor Colin Epsie, who is leading the study. “Your parents think it’s 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 natural cycle of sleep and wakefulness. Biology has decided that teenagers go to sleep around midnight and don’t feel fully awake until 9-10 am, according to scientists. That’s two hours later than adults. And their body clocks stay like this until the age of around 21 for males, and 19 for females.

“Society 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 UK’s Monkseaton 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 in 2018. It’s time to wait and see whether scientists will give us an excuse to get up late.

【1】According to the article, students who take part in the Oxford University project_______.

A.will start school one hour earlier

B.will be guaranteed more sleeping time in the morning

C.will perform better academically than those who don’t participate

D.will no longer have to take GCSE exams

【2】We can infer from the article that ________ .

A.children and adults have different natural cycles of sleep and wakefulness

B.getting up late is a sign of laziness in the eyes of most British parents

C.the Oxford University project is targeted at all British high schools

D.there is still no scientific evidence that supports a late school start time

【3】What is the author’s attitude toward the Oxford University project ?

A.Critical B.Uninterested

C.Optimistic D.Doubtful

【4】What’s the best title of the article ?

A.It’s never too late to learn B.An excuse to get up late

C.The later you get up, the better you’ll learn D.Wake up late to excel

27、   What’s your opinion on spicy food? Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili peppers in their dinner while others can’t get enough of them.

Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love the chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chilies is related to childhood experiences, and that cultural influences affect our taste too. But the latest study has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality (性格) more than anything else, CBC News reported.

“We have always assumed that liking drives intake — we eat what we like and we like what we eat. But no one has actually directly bothered to connect personality with intake of chili peppers,” said Professor John E. Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study.

But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty taste. It is, in fact, a burning feeling that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.

In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about their personality, for example, whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given a glass of water with capsaicin (辣椒素), the plant chemical that makes a chili burn, mixed into it.

By comparing the answers to the questionnaire and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.

Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason why some people can withstand (耐受) spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. “It’s not that it doesn’t burn as badly, but that you actually learn to like the burning feeling,” Hayes explained.

【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “loathe” in the second paragraph?

A.Dislike. B.Fear.

C.Put up with. D.Adapt to.

【2】What did Professor John E. Hayes and his team discover from their study?

A.What we eat actually helps to develop our personality.

B.Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females.

C.Those trying to avoid risks tend to be less interested in spicy food.

D.People are wrong to treat " spicy" as a kind of taste rather than a feeling.

【3】Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study?

A.Because their taste has become less sensitive.

B.Because they love the burning feeling.

C.Because they want to challenge themselves.

D.Because the more they try spicy food, the less it burns.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.What one likes to eat mainly depends on one’s personality.

B.Whether one enjoys spicy food depends largely on one’s personality.

C.One’s personal experiences have nothing to do with their taste.

D.Different people have different taste.

28、   Roughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless device may be turning friends away from your home. The elephant in your living room is your Internet-connected camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that they’re being recorded while you all watch the big game together?

“It’s certainly new territory (领地), especially as home security cameras become easier to fix,” says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, America’s distinguished manners advisors. “I think it will be very interesting to see what manners appear in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if it’s not a security issue.” Post wants to make clear that she’s not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preference.

When it comes to security cameras, Post says it’s a host’s responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. If the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about, it that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable.

However, if a contractor (合约工) is working in your home, you don’t need to tell them that there are cameras watching. Then again, the camera can also work in contractors’ favor. “If anything does go wrong while they’re in the house, they don’t want to be blamed for it,” she says. “In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didn’t steal the $20, or knock the vase off the table.”

【1】What is Lizzie Post mainly discussing about the use of home security cameras?

A.Legal rights.

B.Moral issues.

C.The possible impact on health.

D.Likes and dislikes of individuals.

【2】According to Post, what is a host’s responsibility concerning the security camera?

A.Indicating its position.

B.Turning it on all the time.

C.Making their guests feel at ease.

D.Having a casual talk with guests.

【3】How can the home security camera help contractors working in your home?

A.It can prove their innocence.

B.It can record their working progress.

C.It can prevent the accidents happening.

D.It can make their work more enjoyable.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards the security camera?

A.Negative. B.Pessimistic.

C.Favorable. D.Objective.
