Wales alone.The Childrens Sleep Charity said many children were suffering from lack of sleep mainly because of technology use.Public Health Wales said sleep was as important to a childs health as healthy eating and exercise，and children with poor sleep patterns were more likely to be fat.Statistics obtained(获得)under the Freedom of Information Act by BBC Wales found at least 408 children have been admitted to hospitals across Wales suffering from sleep disorders since March 2013.Children aged between 0 and 4 made up the highest number of inpatients(住院病人)，with some newborns being treated for sleep-related problems from the day of birth.Vicki Dawson，who set up the Childrens Sleep Charity(CSC)，said sleepless nights were putting both children and parents in anxiety.“Their weight and growth may also be affected as well as their mental health，”she said.Teachers said children showing signs of sleep shortage and tiredness in class were a concern as they couldnt concentrate for long periods.Psychologist Amy McClelland，of Sleep Wales，saida common problem was that children were“over excited”before bed and that families should get back to basics.“Think 1950s family home.Dinner as a family，read，chat，a film maybe，lights off and then bed.”She added.4.Whats the mainreason why children are short of sleep？A.Less exercise.B.Eating habits.C.Technology use.D.Sleep patterns.5.Who are the

come back with a treasure.Outside the house,which was decorated with birthday balloons,postwoman Shelley held a pile of boxes.One was marked with Chips name and a greeting for his Special day,November 5.“So,”when he came running out the door,she said,“You must be Chip!”And he said,“Yes.”She said,“Todays your birthday?”And he started smiling.Shelley said,“So,let me see if I can find you something for your birthday.”She checked her pocket and surprised him with a gift:a dollar bill and four quarters.On this day,the 42-year-old postwoman made one little boy very happy.“He was very excited,”said his mom,Bonnie.“He came running back in the house just waving his money.”Chip is saving up to buy a Spider-man action figure.“Our family has had money problems since I lost my job.Gestures like that are valuable memories.”Her hope is that Chip and his eight-year-old sister,Bennett,will remember this when they grow up.“Not the ugly that is out there right now,but the good and the kind and the giving.”A photo of a smiling Chip and Shelley next to the mail truck has been shared widely on social media.Shelley said she was just trying to give back,because people are often nice to her eight-year-old son,Joshua.On a recent day,Chip heard the mail truck and rushed out again,this time to deliver an envelope with a thank-you card for his favorite mail carrier.Since that day,the

from their diet.Plant-based meat alternatives(替代品)increasingly appear in supermarkets and restaurants.But what some people call clean meat-meat grown from cells in a laboratoryis still an idea that is just beginning.More than 24 companies are testing lab-grown fish,beef and chicken.These businesses hope to enter the alternative meat market,which could be worth$140 billion by 2029.One of the companies,Shiok Meats,grows its product by taking shrimp cells and keeping them at a fixed temperature.They are then given nutrients in a solution(溶液).The cells become meat in four to six weeks.This lab-grown meats price is high.One kilogram of it now costs$5,000,said Shiok Meats chief executive Sandhya Sriram.At that cost,a single pork and shrimp dumpling could be as much as$300.Sriram,avegetarian,hopes to cut the cost to$50 for one kilogram by the end of this year.“We are looking at next year,so we might be the first ever company to launch a cell-based meat product in the world,”Sriram said.“Shiok Meats still needs approval from the citys food regulator,and that matters the most at present.”Although people increasingly demand meat alternatives,cell-based meat companies still faceresistance(抵制)to their products.In Singapore,some people said they would give lab grown meat a second thought.“I may not exactly dare to eat it,but I do find the idea appealing because the animals in the oceans are declining,”said 60-year-old Pet Loh,while sheshopped for shrimps in a Singapore market.Any alternative way of making animal protein without harming the environment is positive,said Paul Teng,a specialist in agriculture technology at Nanyang Technological University.But,he added,more studies are needed to understand any negative result of making cellular protein.12.Why are more people eating less meat?A.Because lab-grown meat has more nutrition.B.Because plant-based food is getting popular.C.Because meat in the market is increasingly

acceptance.C.Obtaining official permission.D.Getting ahead of other companies.14.Which word best describes Pet Lohs attitude towards lab-grown meat?A.Doubtful.B.Uncaring.C.Negative.D.Positive.15.What is the text mainly about?A.A new way to make a fortune.B.Negative results of lab-grown meat.C.New research findings on healthy diet.D.A meat alternative grown in labs.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
