Are you sleeping well One third of a person's life is spent sleeping, so sleep is a very important topic. How much do you know about sleep Do you know what kind of relationship there is between sleep and memory
In psychology, memory is learning that has continued over time. Memory is divided into three stages(阶段),one is sensory memory, one is short-term (短期的) memory, and the other is long-term memory. Long-term memory is divided into situational memory, semantic memory (语义记忆), and procedural memory related to "how to do".
After understanding memory, what is a sleep stage Sleep is divided into several different stages as follows, the first stage is just getting ready for sleep, then gently falling asleep, then we go into the deep sleep stage, and finally the rapid eye movement stage.
You might think that your brain rests when you sleep, but that's not the case. In fact, our brain is working very hard when we are sleeping.
There are different forms of brain waves that match different stages of sleep. When we are just about to get ready for sleep, our brain waves go into a steady (稳定的) and rhythmic state, which is called alpha waves. When we enter the deep sleep stage, the brain waves will become slower. This stage is very important for our long-term memory. Besides, it's good for getting rid of tiredness, restore energy and immunity (免疫力) against disease. Finally in the rapid eye movement stage, this is when we are often dreaming.
Why do we sleep Two very important reasons are that sleep can be very helpful in our health, reducing stress, and that during sleep the brain cleans up waste in the brain and then helps to make those new memories form long-term memories. So when we don't get enough sleep, we lose our memory and along with it, we have mood swings, overeating and other problems.
Obviously(明显地), having a goodnight's sleep is important for our memory.
B58.Why do the writer use the questions in the first paragraph
A. To get readers' answers. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To show the writer's interest. D. To give readers' suggestions.
C59.The second and third paragraphs(段落)are about .
A.3 stages of memory and 3 stages of sleep B. relationship between memory and sleep
C.3 stages of memory and 4 stages of sleep D. long-term memory and stages of sleep
A60.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Our brain is in the state (状态)of working when we are sleeping.
B. The brain waves becomes slower when we get ready for sleep.
C. We'll lose our memory and get angry easily with enough sleep.
D. The deep sleep stage is only important for our long-term memory.
C61.After the last paragraph, the writer may write about" ”.
A. Why sleep is important to us B. How we have a good memory
C. When we can go to bed D. How we have a goodnight's sleep

Danny was just going to have a shower when he saw his teammate and best friend—Max. He told him Coach wanted to meet him in the principal's office.
So Danny had to go to the office, worrying about if he did something wrong. Taking a big breath, he knocked on the door and then stepped inside. There was the principal (校长), Mr. Irving, at his desk. Across him sat Coach Geller and behind him stood assistant Coach Benson. And when he'd taken an empty seat, he saw his mother. She had been hidden by the open door.
Uh, oh. If his mom was here, he must really be in trouble. But the principal did not look angry.
“I guess you're wondering why I called you in," said Mr. Irving." I've got some bad news. You won't be able to play in the last game of the championship."
“Why not ” he asked. The series was tied, 2-2. The last game would be played this coming Saturday, and Coach Geller was counting on (指望) him.
“Coach Benson carelessly left your name off the list, and the rules say that every player has to be listed in order to take part,” said Mr. Irving.
Danny didn't know what to say, so he looked at Coach Geller, who was shaking his head sadly. Coach Benson was staring at the floor, and Danny's mom seemed ready to cry. Danny knew how she felt.
“I'm very sorry, Danny," said Mr. Irving. “And so is Coach Benson. You should play. But there's nothing we can do."
Danny's mother had been silent, but now she said, “Can't they make an exception It's so unfair(不公平的). ”
“It is unfair,” agreed Coach Geller. “Coach Benson has tried to add his name but failed.”
Danny sat in the stands as the game started. He cheered when his friend Max hit a home run; he groaned when Chad missed a ball. First his team took the lead, then the other team caught up. Finally, Simon knocked one out of the park, scoring the winning run.
Danny jumped out of his seat. He couldn't wait to get down to the field to celebrate the moment with his team. They had won! All the boys were laughing, and giving each other high-fives.
That night, his mother was quiet as he told the story. Finally he stopped. “Is something wrong, Mom You don't seem happy.”
“I'm not” she said. “You should have played. That was your victory, and it was taken from you.”
“No way," he said with the biggest smile of his life. “That win today That was my win, and Max's, and Simon's too. Don't you get it, Mom That's what it means to be part of a team. I helped get us to the championship. I helped win it, too.”
His mother looked at him, smiled and hugged him tightly. "You're right, Danny! Three cheers for your big win!”
A62.How many team members are mentioned in the story except Danny
A. Three B. Four. C. Five. D. Eight
B63.What is the correct order of what happened in the story
a. The principal told Danny he couldn't play in the final.
b. Danny's mother smiled and hugged him tightly.
c. Coach asked Danny to go to the principal's office.
d. Danny celebrate with his team after they won.
e. Danny sat in the stands to watch the last game.
A. c-a-e-b-d B. c-a-e-d-b C. a-c-e-b-d D. d-a-e-b-c
C64.What's the best title for the story
A. Mum's deep love B. An unfair game
C. Danny's big win D. Coach Benson's mistake

The new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict (巴以冲突) has lasted for some time, as a result, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have to leave their homes and thousands of them have died. What is worrying is that this conflict, which can be traced back (追溯)more than 70 years ago, is becoming worse and worse.
Now, the conflict is happening in the Gaza Strip. Over 2 million Palestinians live there. In order to eat away at Palestinian lend and prevent Palestinians, Israel has built a long wall, which is 8 meters high. Anyone who breaks into the arca will be shot to death.
In 1947, a group of Jews from Europe arrived at a port in Palestine. These Jews held up a sign, which read, “The Germans have destroyed our homeland, please do not destroy our hope.”
Arabs (阿拉伯人)took pity on the Jews’ experiences during World War Ⅱ, they welcomed this group of newcomers who had come from faraway places. But they didn't expect that these Jews came here to build a Jewish country.
After realizing what the Jewish people wanted, Arab leaders said, “We do feel sorry for the hardships that Jews experienced during the war, but it was not we Arabs who caused their suffering, Why should they come and seize (占领) our land ”
However, with the strong support of the United States and the Soviet Union, Jews built a state of Israel though Arabs were against it. Later, conflicts often broke out between the two sides.
It's worth mentioning that today, the area of Israel is far larger than Palestinian's. The Jewish people have seized most of Palestinian land.
The Palestinians received unfair treatment. They were forced to leave their own homes. Most of them can only live in refugee(难民) camps in the Gaza Strip. What's even worse, these Palestinians live a hard and hopeless life and are unable to make their voices heard by the outside world

Are you sleeping well One third of a person's life is spent sleeping, so sleep is a very important topic. How much do you know about sleep Do you know what kind of relationship there is between sleep and memory
In psychology, memory is learning that has continued over time. Memory is divided into three stages(阶段),one is sensory memory, one is short-term (短期的) memory, and the other is long-term memory. Long-term memory is divided into situational memory, semantic memory (语义记忆), and procedural memory related to "how to do".
After understanding memory, what is a sleep stage Sleep is divided into several different stages as follows, the first stage is just getting ready for sleep, then gently falling asleep, then we go into the deep sleep stage, and finally the rapid eye movement stage.
You might think that your brain rests when you sleep, but that's not the case. In fact, our brain is working very hard when we are sleeping.
There are different forms of brain waves that match different stages of sleep. When we are just about to get ready for sleep, our brain waves go into a steady (稳定的) and rhythmic state, which is called alpha waves. When we enter the deep sleep stage, the brain waves will become slower. This stage is very important for our long-term memory. Besides, it's good for getting rid of tiredness, restore energy and immunity (免疫力) against disease. Finally in the rapid eye movement stage, this is when we are often dreaming.
Why do we sleep Two very important reasons are that sleep can be very helpful in our health, reducing stress, and that during sleep the brain cleans up waste in the brain and then helps to make those new memories form long-term memories. So when we don't get enough sleep, we lose our memory and along with it, we have mood swings, overeating and other problems.
Obviously(明显地), having a goodnight's sleep is important for our memory.
58. Why do the writer use the questions in the first paragraph

C. To show the writer's interest. D. To give readers' suggestions.
59. The second and third paragraphs(段落)are about .
A.3 stages of memory and 3 stages of sleep B. relationship between memory and sleep
C.3 stages of memory and 4 stages of sleep D. long-term memory and stages of sleep
60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Our brain is in the state (状态)of working when we are sleeping.
B. The brain waves becomes slower when we get ready for sleep.
C. We'll lose our memory and get angry easily with enough sleep.
D. The deep sleep stage is only important for our long-term memory.

So Danny had to go to the office, worrying about if he did something wrong. Taking a big breath, he knocked on the door and then stepped inside. There was the principal (校长), Mr. Irving, at his desk. Across him sat Coach Geller and behind him stood assistant Coach Benson. And when he'd taken an empty seat, he saw his mother. She had been hidden by the open door.
Uh, oh. If his mom was here, he must really be in trouble. But the principal did not look angry.
“I guess you're wondering why I called you in," said Mr. Irving." I've got some bad news. You won't be able to play in the last game of the championship."
“Why not ” he asked. The series was tied, 2-2. The last game would be played this coming Saturday, and Coach Geller was counting on (指望) him.
“Coach Benson carelessly left your name off the list, and the rules say that every player has to be listed in order to take part,” said Mr. Irving.
Danny didn't know what to say, so he looked at Coach Geller, who was shaking his head sadly. Coach Benson was staring at the floor, and Danny's mom seemed ready to cry. Danny knew how she felt.
“I'm very sorry, Danny," said Mr. Irving. “And so is Coach Benson. You should play. But there's nothing we can do."
Danny's mother had been silent, but now she said, “Can't they make an exception It's so unfair(不公平的). ”
“It is unfair,” agreed Coach Geller. “Coach Benson has tried to add his name but failed.”

That night, his mother was quiet as he told the story. Finally he stopped. “Is something wrong, Mom You don't seem happy.”
“I'm not” she said. “You should have played. That was your victory, and it was taken from you.”
“No way," he said with the biggest smile of his life. “That win today That was my win, and Max's, and Simon's too. Don't you get it, Mom That's what it means to be part of a team. I helped get us to the championship. I helped win it, too.”

The new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict (巴以冲突) has lasted for some time, as a result, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have to leave their homes and thousands of them have died. What is worrying is that this conflict, which can be traced back (追溯)more than 70 years ago, is becoming worse and worse.
Now, the conflict is happening in the Gaza Strip. Over 2 million Palestinians live there. In order to eat away at Palestinian lend and prevent Palestinians, Israel has built a long wall, which is 8 meters high. Anyone who breaks into the arca will be shot to death.
In 1947, a group of Jews from Europe arrived at a port in Palestine. These Jews held up a sign, which read, “The Germans have destroyed our homeland, please do not destroy our hope.”
Arabs (阿拉伯人)took pity on the Jews’ experiences during World War Ⅱ, they welcomed this group of newcomers who had come from faraway places. But they didn't expect that these Jews came here to build a Jewish country.
After realizing what the Jewish people wanted, Arab leaders said, “We do feel sorry for the hardships that Jews experienced during the war, but it was not we Arabs who caused their suffering, Why should they come and seize (占领) our land ”
However, with the strong support of the United States and the Soviet Union, Jews built a state of Israel though Arabs were against it. Later, conflicts often broke out between the two sides.
It's worth mentioning that today, the area of Israel is far larger than Palestinian's. The Jewish people have seized most of Palestinian land.
The Palestinians received unfair treatment. They were forced to leave their own homes. Most of them can only live in refugee(难民) camps in the Gaza Strip. What's even worse, these Palestinians live a hard and hopeless life and are unable to make their voices heard by the outside world
