阅读判断
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容判断句子的正误（正确的涂“A”，错误的涂“B”）。
Do you find it difficult to fall asleep at night Try picking up a book! Research has found that people who read before bed usually sleep better and longer than those who don’t.
In a study, almost 500 participants (参与者) were asked to read a book in bed for 15 to 30 minutes before trying to sleep. Another group of participants was told not to read in bed. Both groups were also asked not to eat or drink anything with caffeine (咖啡因) in the hour before they went to bed. After one week, 42% of the readers said they slept better!
One of the reasons why reading a book could improve sleep is that it’s relaxing. When you read in bed, your heart slows down a little, while your muscles relax. At the same time, a good book can calm your mind, stopping the day’s stress from keeping you awake.
For many people, reading a book also means they won’t be looking at a phone or computer screen. This is important, because the light from screens can negatively affect sleep.
Of course, this means that reading an e-book on a screen probably won’t have the same positive effect on sleep. Even devices (设备) made just for reading still have blue light, which is known to make it harder to fall asleep.
Therefore, for the best sleep, try reading and choose paper books!
1. Reading before bed for 15 to 30 minutes can help us sleep better and longer.
2. In the study, participants were allowed to drink coffee before bed.
3. Phone screen light has a bad influence on sleep.
4. Reading an e-book has the same positive effect on sleep as a paper book.
5. The author wants to tell us that reading a paper book is good for sleep.

Ms Jones’ class was going to put on a play, Alice in Wonderland. The students took turns reading lines to the teacher, hoping to get their favourite parts.
The next day, they checked the noticeboard to see which parts they got. Shirley was disappointed that her dream role, Alice, had gone to Ella. Three boys were also unhappy because they got no parts to play but the job of helping out backstage with Shirley.
“Why do we have to do all the hard work while they get all the attention ” complained Jerry. Sam pulled a long face as he felt the same way.
“Come on,” said Andy. “Our work is important too, and it can be fun!” He was right. For the next two weeks, they built the sets together and found the work very enjoyable and satisfying.
Finally, the big day arrived. Jerry and Shirley helped with costumes.
Andy controlled the lights and sound, and Sam managed the stage curtain (帘子). When Ella came on stage, Shirley was not very pleased. Since Ella always seemed self-important, Shirley had never liked her. But seeing her act with natural confidence, Shirley thought, “Ms Jones was right. Ella is perfect for the role.”
The play went really well. As everyone clapped and cheered, Ms Jones invited the backstage helpers onto the stage. Shirley smiled at Ella, “Nice acting!” Ella smiled back and replied, “Thank you for the beautiful sets. They truly made the play very special.”

Sometimes people give others nicknames (绰号). These names can be friendly or unkind. It can be difficult to stop people from using a nickname, especially if they have used it for a long time. However, there are ways to deal with this situation.
Tip 1: Don’t answer a nickname you don’t like. When some people call you by an unfriendly nickname, they may try to make you angry. If you don’t answer, they may find it boring and stop.
Tip 2: Ask your friends to stop using the nickname. Calmly explain to them that it makes you feel bad. Good friends will understand and won’t want to hurt your feelings.
Tip 3: Ask your teachers for help. Unkind name-calling is bullying, and you don’t have to put up with it. If you have tried ignoring (忽略) and then challenging the name-calling, but it continues to happen, talk to your teachers and ask them to keep an eye on the situation.
Tip 4: Repeat your real name in your daily life. Introduce yourself before somebody else introduces you. This way, you can fix your real name in people’s minds. You can also achieve the same goal by signing off emails or texts with your real name. For example, writing “OK. See you later. Jill” at the end of an email will get your friends more used to this name.
Tip 5: Remember that nicknames don’t last forever. As you get older, people will use nicknames less and less. As you meet new people and have new experiences, things like nicknames change too.
A nickname is just a name—it doesn’t describe who you are. Be proud of your real name and let others know what you want to be called.
16. According to Tip 1, why do some people keep calling others bad nicknames
A．They hope to make the person lose temper.
B．They feel bored when nobody replies to them.
C．They think the nickname is lovely and friendly.
D．They want others to forget the person’s real name.
17. The underlined phrase “put up with” in Tip 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A．make full use of something
B．fight against bad behaviors
C．accept something unpleasant
D．give up one’s own opinion
18. Why does the author introduce the sentence “OK. See you later. Jill”
A．Show an opinion.
B．Give an example.
C．State a result.
D．Make a comparison.
19. It can be inferred from Tip 5 that nicknames change or disappear because ________.
A．elderly people prefer using real names
B．students will study much harder when they grow up
C．people will have no time to call nicknames to each other
D．one’s social circles and life stages develop as time goes by
20. What’s the main idea of the passage
A．Why nicknames can’t last forever.
B．Why nicknames are always unkind.
C．How to deal with nicknames you don’t like.
D．How to make funny nicknames for friends.

Picture this: You’re on a small island in the UK. You share the island with a few other people, and over 43,000 puffins (海鹦). Your job Count those puffins.
The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales (WTSWW) is looking for volunteers to work on Skomer Island, an island off the coast of Wales that’s just under 3 square kilometers in size. The island is home to many different kinds of birds.
Around the world, puffin populations are at risk. Puffins are on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List, meaning they are at risk of extinction (灭绝). However, it’s not all bad news. Every year, the WTSWW does a count of the number of the birds on the island. And in 2025, 43,626 puffins were seen.
This year, the WTSWW is looking for volunteers to help with this job. The volunteers will work for about three months at a time between March and September. The main job is counting puffins. The volunteers can work on the island for a long holiday. They will also help with daily management of the island and greet the 25,000 visitors who come each year. Although they won’t be paid, the volunteers may be given between $275 and $550 to help with their stay on the island, and they will be able to live there for free. They will also have free travel to and from the island, as long as they’re coming from or going to a place in the UK.

My Hobby
Dear teachers and classmates,
My favorite hobby is reading books in my free time.
I love reading because different books bring me wonderful new worlds. When I read, I can forget all my tiredness from study. I can meet different people and learn lots of knowledge I can’t get from textbooks.
Reading teaches me to be patient and think independently. It also helps me become more outgoing and knowledgeable. I will keep this good hobby forever.
That’s all. Thank you!
