Bedtime comes every night, but what if you’re not feeling sleepy Should you still head to bed even if you know you’ll just lie there with your eyes open This problem has been around for as long as people have been trying to get a good night’s sleep.
In order to find the best solution for you, it’s necessary to find out what’s keeping you awake at night. You might be excited about something that happened during the day. Perhaps you’re nervous about what’s coming up the next day. Maybe you don’t like sleeping alone in your room. All of these could be reasons for your sleeping problems. However, there are several steps you can take to help you solve them.
One thing that can help is talking to a parent or another trusted adult about what you’re worrying about at bedtime. For example, if you’re nervous about taking a test, or upset about having too much stress, it can really help to tell somebody. Knowing that someone has listened to you can ease (宽慰) your mind, helping you to get a good rest.
Sleeping in a comfortable bed in a quiet and cool room is another good choice. If there’s anything in your room that makes you feel uneasy or anxious (焦虑的) at night, such as a picture that looks strange in the dark, or a noisy tap in the bathroom, be sure to ask your parents to move or fix it. Also, make sure to keep electronics like mobile phones or iPads away from your bed. They can keep you excited, and make it harder for you to fall asleep.
If you are usually restless around bedtime, doing certain things to relax beforehand (预先) may help you fall asleep. Try to take more time to wind down by taking a warm bath, or listening to music for at least 10 minutes before you go to sleep. It’s also helpful to follow a bedtime routine (惯例) and go to sleep at the same time every night. This way, your body will receive the message that it’s almost time to sleep. Your body will learn to start feeling tired, and it’s worth the time and effort to develop a good sleeping habit.
28.To get a good sleep, what does the writer advise you to do first
A. To go to bed at a certain time every night.
B. To do something to make you tired in the day.
C. To stay away from electronics before going to bed.
D. To know the exact reason why you stay awake at night.
29.What is the main idea of paragraph 4
A. Create a good sleep environment. B. Keep the room quiet and cool.
C. Make your bedroom comfortable. D. Stay away from electronics.
30.What does the underlined phrase “wind down” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Stay awake. B. Keep clean. C. Get relaxed. D. Feel sleepy.
C
My five-year-old son befriends the woman. It starts with voices in the yard. When I come out to check on Daniel, his face is pressed on the fence (篱笆).
The woman says, “You wait right here. I’ll be right back.”
She returns with a saw (锯子). There’s a whirring. A circle in the wooden fence drops out of sight.
“Dad! Sandy just drilled out a hole in the fence so Sandy and I can talk!” Daniel spins around.
I hadn’t known her name was Sandy. We’ve lived here a month before Daniel was born.
Daniel’s and Sandy’s murmuring voices continue. Whenever Daniel is outside, he circles near the fence that isn’t a fence any more. Some days my son just goes to stand at the hole, yelling, “Sandy! Saaaaandyyyyy!” Sometimes I hear bits of their talk.
“We painted a ghost at school.”
Or: ‘‘Wheeler and Jackson were playing football, and they told me I couldn’t play.”
“That wasn’t very nice,” says Sandy. “Did that hurt your feelings Did you let them know that ”
I can’t hear how he replies. A moment of envy runs through me. He never talks about his school things with me.
Daniel and Sandy not only keep chatting through the hole, they also exchange gifts.
A coloring book, then a Hot Wheels car. It’s unclear what Daniel gives Sandy in return.
One afternoon, I hear Sandy’s voice floating over the top of the fence with the hole.
“I thought maybe Daniel could come for a play date.”
We ring the bell on Sandy’s porch. She’s a middle-aged woman with smiling eyes.
Sandy’s yard is sweet with the smell of flowers. We have a pleasant afternoon with Sandy, my son’s adult friend, the first friend Daniel has made on his own. We’ve passed through the hole in the fence.
A month later, Sandy leaves to care for her mother in Kansas. She left behind a box of presents: a coloring book, sidewalk chalk, the missing orange part in the Hot Wheels track. When I look at Daniel, he’s looking down at his shoes. He sometimes wanders down to the fence. Instead of calling “Sandy! Saaaaandyyyyy!” he cries. “Hello! Helloooooo!”
One day, Daniel receives Sandy’s postcard. They write frequently, warmly.
31.Which of the following is the correct order of the story
a. Sandy leaves for Kansas to care for her mother.
b. Daniel and Sandy exchange gifts through the hole.
c. Daniel and Sandy are good pen friends.
d. Sandy drills out a hole in the fence.
e. Sandy invites Daniel to come to her yard for a play date.
A. dbeac B. badec C. dceab D. ecadb
32.What can we learn about Daniel from the underlined sentences in the story
A. He doesn’t care about Sandy’s leaving.
B. He is impressed with the shoes from Sandy.
C. He is heartbroken when hearing the news.
D. He does not want to be Sandy’s friend any more.

“It is especially beautiful. No matter who you are or what your age is, seeing something so fantastic is truly attractive,” said Jin Huilin, who was attracted by the rich patterns (花纹) when he saw Yuhua stones for the first time.
Nanjing Yuhua stone is a type of water-worn stone mainly found in areas like Nanjing and Yizheng in Jiangsu Province. It is known for its smooth texture (质地), bright colours and rich patterns.
Because Yuhua stones are often got from mines (矿山) , dry Yuhua stones look plain and grey, hiding their true quality. Jin and his friends visited Luhe mining sites in Nanjing, wearing rubber shoes to collect these stones on rainy days. Rain made the stones’ detailed patterns clearer. “It’s better to carry a bottle of water on dry days to pour on the surface of the stones. Sometimes you can find something surprising. “Jin said.
According to Jin, appreciating (欣赏) stones starts with their outer qualities like texture, colour, and patterns. ①However, “real appreciation of the stones requires cultural knowledge; otherwise, they might seem like just pieces of colour,” said Jin. With cultural knowledge and imagination, people could see different patterns, such as trees, mountains, or flowers. “②The stones a person chooses as their favourites can show their cultural awareness,” Jin added.
Watching patterns of stones in the water is not the only way to appreciate stones. Jin also mentioned other ways. ③He gave some examples. “Some people enjoy holding stones in their hands, appreciating their special textures, or using strong light to discover hidden patterns that are even more beautiful. Others choose to put the stones on the desk, inviting guests to appreciate the stones from different positions,” said Jin. ④
For Jin, stone watching brings joy and something fresh to his life. “Some people like to have lively pets while I prefer stones for their lasting nature.” Jin added.
34.The writer begins this article by ________.
A. explaining an idea B. showing the reasons
C. comparing differences D. telling someone’s opinion
35.Jin suggests carrying a bottle of water when collecting stones on dry days because ________.
A. water can bring people good luck
B. stones can avoid being polluted with water
C. water can help find the stones’ true quality
D. the weather makes people feel thirsty easily
36.The sentence “So, watching stones is, in some ways, watching oneself.” most probably comes from ________.
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
37.What can we know about Yuhua stones from the passage
A. Their true quality can be found easily on the surface.
B. They can be found in most cities in Jiangsu Province.
C. There are different patterns like mountains and flowers in them.
D. The textures are seen more clearly in the water than with strong light.

The year 2026 is the Year of the Horse in the Chinese calendar. In different cultures, horses stand for similar things, but with occasional (偶尔的) exceptions.
In China, the horse carries many positive meanings, such as smart and energetic, and we can see them in Chinese idioms. For example, a talented person is often called “qianlima”, a horse that covers a thousand li a day. And someone who is good at finding talent is referred to as “bole”, a person who could tell a good horse by its looks in ancient China. Other horse-related phrases in Chinese include “madaochenggong”, which means instant success and “longmajingshen”, which means full of energy.
Horses are also said to have powerful brains with “excellent memories”, according to Discovery News. Maybe that’s why a Chinese idiom goes: “An old horse knows the way.”
In other cultures, horses are also important and special. In the Middle Ages, the horse was a symbol of chivalry (骑士精神) and nobility (高贵品质) in Western societies. In fact, the word “chivalry” comes from the Old French word “cheval”, which meant horse. The idea of chivalry helped to shape the 19th-century image of the “gentleman”, which was known for good manners, courage and loyalty (忠诚) to friends.
Since the horse is honored as a symbol of energy, loyalty, strong will and intelligence. People born in the Year of the Horse are also believed to have these great qualities.
