• 2．Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon？Many people feel this way after lunch．They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness．Or in summer，they may think it is the heat．However，the real reason lies inside their bodies．At that time - about eight hours after you wake up - your body temperature goes down．This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy．Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day．The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern．They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later．

     Many working people，unfortunately，have no time to take naps．Though doctors may advise taking naps，employers do not allow it!If you do have the chance，however，here are a few tips about making the most of your nap．Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up．A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward．This can also happen if you sleep for too long．If you do not have enough time，try a short nap - even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful．

• 3．If you're planning on travelling，there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
     First of all，always check and double-check departure （起程） time.It is amazing how few people really do this carefully.Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten.My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50.When I arrived at the airport，the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed.Therefore，I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
     The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards，it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency （貨幣） with you when you arrive in a country.This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit.Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed.The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars，I offered to pay in pounds instead. "Listen!I only take real money!" the driver said angrily.Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel，but it was embarrassing.
     The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave.I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May，when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester，to places like Athens，Rome or Madrid，where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
  
  （1）According to the passage，the driver was angry because

  .
  A.the author gave him the false （假的） money
  B.the author did not give him the local money

  D.the author had no enough change
  （2）The underlined word "embarrassing" in paragraph 3 probably means

  
  A.awkward
  B.frightening
  C.suitable
  D.anxious
  （3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？

  
  A.The author tells people to choose warm places as their travel destinations.
  B.You don't have to take credit cards when travelling.
  C.You should know more about the weather of the place you'll visit.
  D.It's unnecessary to check the departure time carefully.
  （4）The writer mainly tells us

  .
  A.how to make life easier
  B.how to be well prepared for a trip
  C.how to enjoy ourselves on a trip
  D.how to plan our trip

• 4．Teenagers who spend more time on after-school activities and less than two hours of screen time after school are more mentally healthy，according to a study published in the journal Preventive Medicine.The new study was carried out by researchers from the University of British Colombia.
      The study used information collected from more than 28，000 seventh-grade Canadian students between 2014 and 2018.The students first answered questions about their usage of screen time after school，including how much time they spent watching TV，Netflix or something else.Then，students reported how many days they had taken part in after-school activities such as sports or arts programs.After that，researchers asked students to describe their state of mind.For example，when given a statement such as "I start most days thinking that I will have a good day"，they could choose to what level they agreed with it on a scale.
     Some of the results were expected，researchers said in the study.Students with no after-school activities usually had high levels of screen time，for example.And they expected girls would score higher on negative indicators of mental health，as earlier research had found that they tended to have higher levels of anxiety compared to boys.
     What was noteworthy researchers say，is that even among students who took part in after-school activities，46% still went beyond the recommended screen time of two hours.At the same time，67% of the students who didn't take part in after-school activities also had more than two hours of screen time.Together，this suggests high screen time among teenagers generally.
    "The findings suggest that after-school activities are valuable for the happy growing of teenagers，" The study said， "While past studies have proved the importance of after-school activities for social and academic development，the present study shows their importance for good mental health results."
  
  （1）Which of the following came last when students took part in the new study？

  
  A．Talking about their lifestyles.
  B．Introducing their after-school activities.
  C．Reporting their mental states on a scale.
  D．Answering questions about the screen time use
  （2）What do the researchers find about teenage girls？

  
  A．They often have higher levels of satisfaction.
  B．Few of them took part in after-school activities.
  C．Anxiety has become a serious problem among them.
  D．Too much screen time may be more harmful to them.
  （3）What does the author want to show by using the numbers in paragraph four？

  
  A．Earlier findings about the screen time are wrong.
  B．High screen time is common among teenagers.
  C．No after-school activities mean no screen time.
  D．Screens attract teenagers more than after-school activities do
  （4）Why are after-school activities so important according to the new study？

  
  A．They are good for teenagers' physical health.
  B．They encourage teenagers' social development.
  C．They help to improve teenagers' mental health.
  D．They allow teenagers to become better learners.

• 5．How to stay focused in class ● （1）

  No matter how much you want to sit with your friends during the class，try your best to stay away from them.Talking with friends is not going to help you stay focused （集中注意力的） in class and will cause trouble，too.
     ● Look at the teacher.Your teacher is not just standing up there talking- they're trying to give you an acceptable education.Show the teacher that he or she has your full attention，by looking him or her in the eye. （2）

  
     ● Take notes.By taking notes，you'll be able to "get into" the lesson. （3）

  Listen for key phrases such as， "This is important，" "This is the main idea，" etc.This can help you listen more carefully；you'll have something to do and focus on.
     ● Join in class discussions.This is a wonderful way to become a more focused，successful student.When a teacher asks a question，offer to answer it. （4）

  This shows the teacher that you're listening carefully during the class.
     ● Ask a question. （5）

  This really shows your teacher that you want to be better，and can recognize the things you're having difficulty with.Maybe someone else in the class has the same question but he or she is too afraid to ask.When the question is asked by you，he or she will be relaxed and so will you.
  
  A.Do your best.
  B.Don't sit with friends.
  C.Don't try to finish your homework in class.
  D.This person should have your full attention at all times in class.
  E.Write down key points as your teacher speaks.
  F.If you don't understand something，never be afraid to ask.
  G.When he or she asks for an opinion，share your own.
