Sleeping Problem

How much sleep do we need? We are all different. Some people need only three hours of sleep a night. Others need ten hours of sleep a night. Most Americans sleep an average（平均值）of seven to eight hours a night. After the age of fifty, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night.

Most people have a night off when they cannot sleep. About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people cannot fall sleep. This problem is called insomnia.

This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history have insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous statement（政治家）and inventor, had four beds. The King Louis XIV of France had 413 beds and hoped he could fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed!

C. how to get to sleep

D. the famous person‘s beds

( D)

Chinese children are very obedient. In China, children are taught to obey and respect (尊敬) their parents, teachers and elders. But children in Western countries do not obey every time.

Most parents and teachers in the West expect some bad behavior in children. They see it as a stage(阶段) that children must go through. They expect to see it in teenagers as they are becoming adults.

In China students stand respectfully when they answer questions from the teacher. In the West they don‘t stand and often several students answer the teacher‘s questions at the same time. This sometimes makes the classroom noisy and hard to control. But students in these classrooms can also have good talks about interesting ideas. Not all the ideas come from the teacher.

Is it good to be an obedient child at all times? Do you sometimes feel that your parents are being unfair(不公平) when they ask you to do something? Perhaps the answer is somewhere between the two ways----the Western way and the Chinese way. If you disagree sometimes, it might be a good way to speak about your ideas politely. That way your parents or teachers can listen and perhaps learn to see your point of view. So you can disagree sometimes as long as you do so politely and with respect.

根据上下文判断正（T）误（F）

51.The underlined word ―obedient‖ in the passage means ―听话的‖ in Chinese.

53. Compared with Chinese children, Western children are more obedient.

53. Western parents and teachers are afraid to see children make mistakes.

54. If you disagree with your parents, you can speak about your opinion in a polite way.

55. Western children learn not only from their teachers but also from their classmates.

参考范文：

My life in Junior School will come to an end. There were lots of interesting things happening in my Junior School life. One exciting thing in my mind is my math class. Last term we had a very important math exam. I played computer games so late that I couldn‘t get ready for it. I put my math book under my desk. My math teacher talked to me after the exam. I felt very sorry and couldn‘t say a word. I‘ve known it‘s very important to study hard. I prefer to do my homework rather than play computer games. I become the top student. I‘m very happy that I can enter the No.1 Middle School. To get more knowledge, I will spend less time playing computer games.
