Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo i

We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless.Leo, sensing that I was

13、scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. Dont worry. Summer storms pass quickly, Leo said trying to comfort me. And at least the rain will keep the bears away, he said with a teasing smile, which w

Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a persons risk of developing severe medical conditions, such

19、as obesity (being very overweight), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship bet

20、ween sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worm devices, which track a persons physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement.While Grosss data showed no relationship

21、between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the courses 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final ex

22、am. Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, its the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in earl

When you go to bed matters, Gross says, If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night,

24、 and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isnt everything.Perhaps the most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students

25、grades. The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bed

One great myth of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballet and orchestral (管弦乐 ) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, at least,

30、the claim is ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear Londons orchestras range from 7 to 9 same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performs with top soloists and conductors the

31、cheapest seat is 30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic, its an expensive 46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isnt so easy. True.

32、d on the Continent (2,000 for a good seat at a premiere of La Scalas Carmen last December), but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular techmological innovation has transformed the scene. Its live (or slightly

33、delayed) cinema transmissions. The New York Metropolitan Opera now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British companies arent far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (10 or 15 for the Royal Opera Houses shows) you can sit in your local m

34、ovie-house and see a high-definition relay of whats occurring on the worlds grandest stages. No, its not the same as being there, but its almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images, particularly of dancers, are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than

35、 sitting on your own at home.To me, this mountain of evidence, together with free museum admissions, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. Th

36、e real battle now should be ensuring that school children are given enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.32. What does the underlined word infuriating in paragraph 1 mean?A. Quite interesting. B. Very annoying. C. Not certain. D. Extremely

37、obvious.33. What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?A. The amount of money charged by top performers.B. The costly technology required for broadcast.C. The demand of companies for big profits.D. The high cost of renting the stages.34. Which of the follow ing is true about cinematic opera

38、?A. People can decide where to watch the opera.B Audiences are discouraged from responding to The performances.C. It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.D.

41、something else going on. 36 These different styles of speaking are called registers.
