Feeling sleepy in the middle of the day? There are many reasons why we get sleepy in the
afternoon. Bad lighting, a poor night’s sleep, a boring job, large (carb-heavy) lunches, and more can
all contribute to head-bobbing at your desk or falling into a light sleep during a meeting. The best
course of action would be to find the root cause of your sleep issue and fix it, but most of us simply
head for the coffee pot or the cafe. Instead of that, try climbing some stairs.
Well, now exercise researchers have discovered that walking up and down lights of stairs for
about 10 minutes actually gives you a more effective boost (提 高 ) of energy than drinking 50
milligrams of caffeine greedily (the average amount of caffeine found in a cup of coffee, tea, or soda).
In a study called Stair walking, the researchers enlisted 18 “physically active” college women
between the ages 18 and 23. The participants reported experiencing chronically poor sleep, adding up
to an average of fewer than 45 hours of shuteye each week in the past few years. And they are often a
lack of available time during the workday for a dedicated exercise session.
The researchers chose stair climbing as the exercise of choice. Walking up and down the stairs
requires no specific clothing, travel time, or even a shower afterward. During the study, on some days
the participants alternated (交 替 ) between taking 50-milligram caffeine pills or a placebo. On the
other days, they skipped the caffeine (real or otherwise) and climbed up and down the stairs, at a
moderate pace, for 10 minutes.
At the conclusion of the study, the researchers acknowledged that there is more research to be
done (when isn’t that the case?) but concluded that “A short period of low-to-moderate intensity stair
3
walking has temporary energizing effects that exceed a low dose of caffeine for active young women
with chronic insufficient sleep.”
So, the next time you find yourself nodding off mid-afternoon, why not give stairs a try?
24．What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?
A．To describe a phenomenon. B．To explain reasons of poor sleep.
C．To present the topic of stair climbing. D．To remind people to drink less coffee.
25．According to the passage, college women ________.
A．suffered from sleep disorder B．were active in physical workout
C．were too busy to fall sound sleep D．volunteered to participate in the study
26．What does the underlined word “skipped” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Released. B．Exchanged.
C．Became addicted to. D．Missed out on.
27．What message does the text seem to convey?
A．Proper stair walking can refresh people.
B．People tend to fall asleep in mid-afternoon.
C．A moderate intake of caffeine will be harmless.
D．Climbing stairs can effectively solve sleep issue.

Ouarzazate is a desert town at the foot of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, Africa, which attracts
Hollywood and European film makers for its varied scenery and picture-perfect locations. Its Kasbah,
with its red and brown mud houses and narrow streets, is one of these locations. It’s been chosen by
many US and British movie makers as a location for big-budget films such as Gladiators and
Kingdom of Heaven.
The cinema has brought a lot to Ouarzazate, whose people may work as technicians, sound
engineers or decorators, but they are mainly given unimportant roles as extras. Mbarka, her husband,
and their five children have all appeared in Western films as extras. Mbarka has been in so many
Hollywood films over the past 20 years that she cannot remember most of them. She doesn’t even
know the name of the last one she appeared in.
“I was in the film for 15 days. My son, Azzedine, knows its name,” said Mbarka. It’s unnecessary
to remember that. After all, it’s not that she likes the industry, but that she makes a living from it.
Kingdom of Heaven, a $180 million US production, provided eight months of work for 2800
Ouarzazate people. “When the cinema comes here, people are happy, ” said Azzedine who has
appeared in movies since he was seven. When there’s no movie in town, his mother sells sandwiches
in the local market, but he doesn’t seek any other job or go to school to improve his skills, not wanting
to miss a film opportunity though he’s not well paid. In fact, inexperienced Moroccan extras get as
little as $15 per day. Still, the money isn’t bad considering the average salary in Ouarzazate is about
$6 a day. Those with experience earn more; they get about $24 per day or as much as $60.
Inexperienced European extras, on the other hand, get about $40 per day. This has led to complaints
of discrimination by some Ouarzazate people.
28．What can be learnt about Mbarka?
4
A．She is a senior extra. B．She loves making films.
C．She’s left show business. D．She has been forgetful.
29．What does Azzedine do when there’s no movie work?
A．He learns hard to be a real actor. B．He always goes out to work.
C．He deliberately remains jobless. D．He helps his mother in a market.
30．What’s Ouarzazate people’s attitude to the arrival of the foreign film industry?
A．Tolerant. B．Favorable. C．Unwilling. D．Carefree.
31．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To promote two big-budget films. B．To introduce the extras’ situations.
C．To recommend an African Hollywood. D．To call for an end to pay discrimination.
D
Dedicated educator is on a mission to revive rural education in a remote mountainous community
and provide the best education to its children, one school at a time.
With her ponytail and big, square glasses, Cheng Feng looks every bit the schoolteacher. Yet, to
many of her students, the 33-year-old is more than that. Cheng’s care for her rural students has
extended beyond the classroom and makes her a mother figure to them all.
During the just past summer vacation, Cheng didn’t take time off but paid home visits to rural
students of the Liling Primary School, which is located in the mountains more than 120 kilometers
from the central area of Poyang county, East Chin’s Jiangxi province.
Most students have been left behind by their parents, who have to go to work far away from home
and are looked after by their grandparents.
“Seeing these special families and special children is what made me realize the importance of
rural education, and it is one of the major reasons why I have stuck around all these years,” says
Cheng, who also grew up in Poyang.
Since learning that one of her students, Tan Yeting, and her brother, were just depending on the
small income of their grandparents’ handmade broom business, Cheng would pay regular visits to
Tan’s home. She would check the homework assignment of the two children, play games with them
and cut their hair. These interactions have helped both children grow in confidence and shake off their
timid nature at school.
“Cheng is just like our mother,” Tan says.
“I feel like I can talk to her about anything, ”she adds.
Cheng voluntarily chose to move to the school last year after she learned it was in need of faculty
members. She has since helped to improve the teaching facilities, and went out of her way to reach
children scattered around the surrounding rural area and persuade them to come to school.
Thanks to her efforts, approximately 200 children in the neighborhood have been able to enjoy a
better education.
32．What was Chen Feng doing during the past summer vacation?
A．She was on a holiday in the mountain.
B．She was looking after her students in school.

33．What do we know about Tan Yeting?
A．Her parents deserted her brother and her. B．She is too shy to talk to her teacher.
C．She lives on her grandparents’ small business. D．She leads a care-free and rich life.
34．Which of the following can best describe Chen Feng?
A．Caring and warm-hearted. B．Ambitious and optimistic.
C．Responsible and fashionable. D．Considerate and stubborn.
35．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．The Life Experience of a Rural Teacher. B．China’s Rural Education in Jiangxi Province.
C．A Teacher Devoted to Rural Education. D．A Teacher Who Likes Paying Home Visits.

one is ugly or beautiful. 36 In friendship, there are no terms and conditions. There is no age
factor in friendship. Each person has his or her own mind, own views. and own perspective on life.

lets you fall. As the ancient Greek poet Euripides put it,“Friends show their love in times of trouble,
not in happiness.”

because patience is the key to everything. A beautiful friendship is like a childhood friendship, free of
jealousy and full of love. Children are unaware of bad feelings, where anger can suddenly arise. This

ends on October 7th. Autumn Equinox 62 (lie) at the midpoint of autumn, dividing autumn into
two equal parts.
As is said in 63 ancient book, “It is on Autumn Equinox day 64 the Yin and Yang
are in a balance of power. Thus, the day and night are of equal length, and 65 are the cold and
hot weather.” After that day, the location of direct sunlight moves to the south, 66 (make)

When I was a little kid, I dreamed of keeping on a dog. My parents disagreed, saying that I was
too young that I couldn't take care of myself, let alone a dog. I didn't give up. Instead, I tried to be
independence and often helped with housework. A few month later, my parents found that I had
