(1) According to psychological studies, teenagers often care about themselves more than about
others. In other words, they easily pay more attention to things around their life, including their
appearance, the style of dress or even the way they talk. However, do they really need to care so
much?
Take Judy as an Example, she is a high school freshman. On the night before her first day
of the school, she was excited and hoped to be perfect in front of her teachers and classmates.
However, everything went wrong when she found that there was a huge red zit 31 on the
tip of her nose the next day morning. 32 she tried different ways to hide it, still nothing
worked. It felt like the end of the world because she considered that everyone in the school
would talk about her pimple. 33 , no one said anything about her on that day. Yet, Judy still
worried that her huge zit was remembered by everyone for 34 the year. It was until the first
day of eleventh grade that eased Judy’s mind. When Judy knew that no one had ever noticed
her huge red zit by having a conversation with her friend who had her own worry about her
disgusting orange shirt, she 35 that most people only care about their own problems. In
fact, they have no time to think about others.
As can be seen, teenagers should learn to be more 36 and confident about themselves.
After all, discovering their inner values is much more important, isn’t it?

(D) wished

(A) careless
(B) carefree
(C) careful
(D) caring
(2) Due to the advantages of technology, people rely more and more on new techniques to
solve problems. However, there is always two sides of a story. If one thing can bring
something good to our life, it causes some loss at the same time.
Though life becomes much more colorful with a smartphone, Ann wants to get rid of it.
She notices that many things have been different. For example, spending too much time on
checking social media, such as Facebook and Instagram makes Ann feel difficult to 37
school work which lets her grades get 38 . 39 , drawn to her smartphone, she often 40
what her friends or family say when they hang out or have dinner together. This really hurts
the 41 between Ann and those who care a lot about her. Also, she seldom spends time
speaking to her family since she is always busy playing games or responding to messages late
into the night, causing Ann’s parents 42 with her.
Now she can spend more time on her study, and become a real part of her family and
friends again. We can always find a breath of fresh air from new techniques, but they can 43
replace what we have in real life.

(3) Most of us go to bed at night and wake up in the morning. 44 , when it comes to
animals, sleep duration varies widely among animal classes and species. For instance, you
may know brown bears hibernate and goldfish sleep with their eyes open. But why do their
sleep habits 45 in animal kingdom? That is because they have to worry about 46
someone will try to eat them while they’re snoozing!
The following are amazing facts about animal sleeping habits. Dolphins have
something called unihemispheric sleep. It means one side of the brain sleeps while the other is
47 . When this takes place, they are able to keep one eye 48 to keep a look out for any
predators. The second fun fact is about giraffes. Since they are difficult to 49 or get up
quickly, sleeping is a huge trouble for them; therefore, as giraffes sleep, they usually have just
30 minutes per day. As to sea otters, they often float on their backs and hold hands while
sleeping. The reason why sea otters hold hands while sleeping is so that they don’t drift away
50 each other when they are in deep sleep. It is quite mysterious about sleep, right?

(2) There's nothing better than a good night's rest. But have you ever wondered why
human beings need a good night’s sleep? It is hard to understand how important it is;
however, when you add the number of hours you spend sleeping, sleep accounts for about a
third of your life--so it must be important in some way.
Scientists have found that no animal, including human beings can live without sleep. In
1894, Russian physician and scientist, Marie de Manacéine found that when puppies in a
continual activity without enough sleep, they died after only a couple of days. As for humans,
not only scientists but also people who engaged in the research noticed that people having
insufficient sleep would have similar effects: A decrease in mental functioning, a lack of
awareness and attention to the world around them, a distorted sense of time, and extreme
tiredness. The other much more notable research is the case of Randy Gardner. He stayed
awake for 11 days and 24 minutes before his speech. For this reason, his speech was slurred,
his thinking was fragmented and he wouldn’t even be able to perform simple math.
After all these studies, scientists think there are two main reasons making sleep
important--it helps us repair and restore our organ systems and it plays a crucial role in
memory. While our body is resting, immune cells work better with more sleep. For
example, T cells play an important role in the body immune system, people with enough sleep
will improve T cell functioning. As to memory, it helps us retain what we learned at work or
school for later use. That is to say, the ability to recall and use new information we learn at
school rely on the amount of sleep.
There is still a lot that we don't know about the potential benefits of sleep, but one thing
is for sure: we can't live without it. And the closer we are to getting the optimal amount of
sleep (that's 8 to 10 hours for teens), the healthier we might be.
54.
Why skipping sleep can be bad for human beings?
(A) That is because the amount of sleep is about a third of your life.
(B) That is because scientists provide strong evidence.
(C) That is because our body and mental would be greatly affected.
(D) That is because puppies with no amount of sleep will die.
55.
What can you infer from the reading?
(A) Adults, infants, and school age children need 8-10 hours of sleep per night.
(B) Sleep helps protect your body and perform better on memory tasks.
(C) It took Randy Gardner 11 days and 24 minutes to prepare his speech.
(D) When you are awake, your immune system is there to fight harmful cells

(1) Teenagers today are spending a great amount of time glued to their electronics.
A survey in 2015 published by Common Sense Media found that American teenagers
spend six and a half hours of screen time per day on social media and other activities like
video games on average. In addition, another report from Pew Research Center found that
24 percent of teenagers were reported being online constantly, and that 73 percent had a
smartphone or more than one.
Unfortunately, more teens are also starting to get addicted to their phones and other
devices, which is called “nomophobia”.
With all of this excessive phone use, a group of neuroscientists wanted to find out if
the exposure is damaging neurological health, especially in children and teens whose
brains are still developing. The research team from Korea University in Seoul, South
Korea, recently found that being addicted to smartphones creates a chemical imbalance in
the brain linked to depression and anxiety in young people. Accordingly, there is the
connection between extensive phone use and negative changes to the brain. No matter
what age they are, we can start to think about how to break their reliance on phones and
other electronics before they get too attached, or possibly even addicted.
Here are some ways for us to start:
Learn more about technology addiction and evaluate if they are struggling.
Seek professional help so they can undergo cognitive behavioral therapy.
Enforce tech use rules, such as putting gadgets away during dinner and homework
time, and while driving.
Remove ringtone from their phone so they are not constantly prompted to look at a
new text or post as it arrives.
Stop using electronics before bedtime, as this can disturb sleep patterns.
Replace electronics with healthier activities like creative arts, meditating, exercise,
and talking to people in person.
Being mindful of teens’ tech habits will help them, and their brains, develop into
adulthood.
51.

(A) The popularity of electronic device in the 21th century
(B) The relationship between electrics and mental health.

Which of the following statements is TRUE?
(A) American teenagers would spend half of day on social media.
(B) The neuroscientists found there was no relation between electronics and
mental health.
(C) Over 50 percent of teenagers have more than one smartphone.
(D)There is no ways to help teenagers get rid of electronic devices.
53. Which of the following persons can be described as “nomophobia”?
(A)The person who is afraid of using smartphone.
(B)The person who is poor at using smartphone
(C)The person who are forced to keep using smartphone.
(D)The person who can’t help but keep using smartphone.
