Dear Mom and Dad, Im afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal（校长）is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer. The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bedThis is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all. As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital. The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars. I am very sorry about this. Much love, Susan. P.S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad things could have been!36Susan wrote home _.

Emsellem, director of the Center for Sleep && Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and an associate clinical professor of neurology at George Washington University Medical Center in Washington, DC.1. Allow one hour before bedtime for a relaxing activity. Watching the news or answering e-mails does not count! Better choices are reading or listening to soft music. 2. If your mind is relaxed but your body is tense, do some low-intensity stretches and exercises to relax your muscles, especially those in your upper body, neck, and shoulders. Before you get into bed, use light weights (3 to 5 pounds for women, 5 to 10 pounds for men) to calmly exercise these muscles. Do one set of 8 to 10 repetitions of a basic exercise for each upper body muscle. We call this automassage. 3. Allow at least three hours between dinner and bedtime. The brain does not sleep well on a full stomach. If you know that you have a busy day planned the following day, have your big meal at lunchtime and a lighter meal as early as possible in the evening.

If your aunt wants to rent a room from Feb.1st to Apri.1st, how much money should she pay?A. $160 B. $ 129 C. $ 209 D. $418DShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are over concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds; what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A persons self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person think about themselves which has a deep effect on all areas of their lives. Shy people, who have low self-esteem（自尊）, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing “the right thing”. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior（自卑）. They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: “Youre just saying that to make me feel good, I know its not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths, for example, not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have to be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy（不适当，不充足）. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.48The first paragraph is mainly about _.Athe thoughts of shy peopleBthe cause of shynessCthe effect of shyness on peopleDthe questions in the minds of shy people49According to the writer, self-awareness is _.Aharmful to peopleBa weak point of shy peopleCthe cause of unhappinessDa good characteristics50What is the shy peoples reaction to praise?AThey are pleased by itBThey feel it is not trueCThey are very sensitive to itDThey feel they are worthy of it51We can learn from the passage that shyness can _.Ablock our chances for a successful lifeBhelp us to live up to our full developmentCenable us to understand ourselves betterDhave nothing to do with lack of self-esteemEWhile small may be beautiful，tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems，particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants. The Tall Persons Club Great Britain(TPCGB)，which was formed six months ago to campaign(发起运动)for the needs of the tallhas turned its attention to hotels and restaurants Beds that are too small，shower heads that are too low ,and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height it says. But it is not just the extra-tail whose needs are not being met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds，doorways，and chairs has remained unchanged. “The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it ,so even a king-size bed at 66"(6feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25of men，while the standard 63" bed caters for(满足需要)less than half of the male(男性)population，"said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy ,"Seven-foot beds would work fine." Similarly ,restaurant tables can cause no end of problems Small tables，which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them are enough to ma
