24、   A holiday is any day when people lay aside their ordinary duties and cares. The word comes from Old English. At first, holidays honored some holy events or persons. People in Great Britain and other countries speak of holidays as Americans speak of vacations.

Every nation has its special holidays. China observes New Year’s Day (January 1), May Day and National Day as legal holidays, as it was on Oct. 1, 1949 that People’s Republic of China was founded. The Chinese have long celebrated the Chinese lunar year. In the United States, congress has declared several as legal days such as New Year's Day (January1), Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day and so on. Some holidays celebrate special  events  in  the  development  of  a  country,  such  as  Greece’s  Independence  Day,  Italy’s Liberation Day and India’s Independence Day.

In the United States, banks and schools usually close on a legal holiday. When such a holiday falls on Sunday, the following Monday is often observed. Schools and organizations often observe days  known  as  traditional holidays,  although schools and businesses do not close  then. Those holidays include Valentine's Day and Halloween.

【1】American people call “holiday” as ________.

25、Do you sometimes find you want to eat chocolate or ice cream very much? Do you then make it but feel guilty about it later?

The next time this happens to you, think back if you have had enough sleep over the last 3-5 days. Many adults and even teens have noticed that they crave "midnight snacks" when working or watching TV late.

New research shows that lack of sleep could lead us to have an increased appetite (食欲)- especially for the unhealthy kind.

Recently, researchers at the University of Chicago carried out a study that clearly shows that a lack of sleep actually changes our brain chemistry! Studies were done on two control groups over four days. Both groups had their food and sleep strictly controlled. All of them received three meals. The only difference was that one group was allowed to sleep for 7.5 hours while the other group slept for a little more than four hours.

During the following visit, their sleep patterns were exchanged. After the last night of the session, the volunteers were offered as much food as they wanted to eat. Researchers noticed that in both sessions, people who sleep less ate on an average 300 calories more than those who had slept more. This was much more calories than what their bodies would need to make up for the three fewer hours of sleep.

What Is Going On?

The researchers then analyzed the chemicals (化学成分) in the blood of the people in the study. What they noticed was surprising. High levels of ghrelin (a chemical that makes us hungry) and lower levels of leptin (the chemical that tells the brain that it is satisfied) were found in the people with less sleep.

Even more surprising was that this group had higher levels of endocannabinoids - the same chemical that is caused by drugs such as cannabis (大麻). The endocannabinoid system causes a craving for sugar and fatty foods and leads to overeating even when the body is not hungry. This study suggests that sleep changes help produce chemicals in the body that are similar to taking drugs!

Furthermore, researchers noticed that food cravings continued for a long period of time, well after the lack of sleep. This increases the risk of over-eating for longer periods, leading to obesity (肥胖).

Your body needs 7-8 hours of sleep each night. So, the next time you reach for a bag of chips or a slice of decadent cake, think of the amount of sleep you have had recently!

【1】According to the passage, people want to eat more when they ________.

A．work   B．watch TV C．sleep less D．sleep more

C．a person’s sleep has nothing to do with his/her appetite 

D．a study about sleep and obesity was carried out at the University of Chicago

A．ghrelin     B．leptim

C．cannabis   D．endocannabinoids

A．researchers working on people’s sleep

B．how people’s sleep influences their appetite

C．how much people need to eat after sleeping less

D．A research about chemicals in the blood of people

26、   During the summer holiday, some students might have been busy with traveling, summer camps and all kinds of courses, but a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.

Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan. Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas. "Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are," said Dalin, 18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and her 12-year old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.

They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o'clock. Some of them went to the farmer's market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位). To lower the cost, they learned to bargain (讲价) with the sellers. At about 16:30, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝) loudly to attract (吸引) customers. After several days, they got some experience, too. For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.

When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings. "We are tired," said Dalin, "but we gained a lot."

【1】In the writer's opinion, the 12 students action was _______.

27、   My 11-year-old daughter has been offered an academic scholarship (奖学金) to a private school. It's only a small discount (折扣), but the scholarship means she is accepted by the school which my husband and I need to pay $ 20,000 a year for. Should we pay the private school cost, or choose free education instead?

It was really a hard decision for us to make. For me, I always wanted my children to go to a private school, like I did. Not because my family is rich, but because I believe that the best education is private. It took years for me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary school. “They'll go to a private high school.” I told myself.

But the fact is that my eldest is now in her last year of primary school, and my husband and I will find our way to afford the private school. If so, I could increase my work hours. My law degree was supposed to be my ticket to a good job and a good pay, but that was just our wishes, not the fact.

During many sleepless nights, I felt troubled by the decision. Although I want the best for my daughter, I have my own dreams too. I can't give up everything for my baby girl. I explain that I want to be a positive (积极的) role model for my daughter, and an unhappy parent is a terrible strain on a family. I point out that even the best private school won’t protect my children from disappointment or hard work. And finally, it's decided.

Because I understand it's my family that shaped me instead of my great private school education. I can no longer remember the maths problems and what Shakespeare said which I once knew so perfectly. The lessons from my family, however, have turned out to be impossible to forget.

【1】The scholarship her daughter has won means that ________.

A.she is good at sports B.the family is full of love

C.she is accepted by that private school D.they don’t have to pay for the school

【2】The underlined word strain in Paragraph 3 means ________.

A.愤怒 B.安慰 C.负担 D.解脱

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.The writer had a good job with a good pay.

B.It took a long time for her to make the final decision.

C.Her two children attended their local private primary school.

D.The scholarship her daughter won could cover all of her school cost.

【4】We can infer from the passage that ________.

A.the daughter will go to a public high school

B.private schools provide better education than public schools

C.the writer wanted her daughter to receive the best education

D.her daughter’s talent was wasted at the public primary school
