17、g heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a pillow. A few minutes nap time before class couldnt hurt, I thought.Boom! I lifted my head immediately and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my heart beating quickly trying to find the cause of

18、 the noise. My young professor was looking back at me with a mischievous, boyish smile on his face. He had intentionally dropped the pile of textbooks he was carrying onto my desk. “Good morning !” he said, still smiling. “Im glad to see everyone is awake. Now lets get started.”For the next hour I w

19、asnt sleepy at all. It wasnt from the shock of my professors textbook alarm clock either. Instead, it was from the attractive discussion he led. With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy that

20、he taught with were contagious（有感染力的）. I left the classroom not only wide awake, but a little smarter and a little better as well.I learned something far more important than not sleeping in class that day too. I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy,

21、and make it an expression of your love. What a glorious place this world would be if all of us did our work joyously and well ! What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor, teacher, musician, cook, waitress, poet, miner, farmer, and laborer made their work an expression of their love ! Do

26、laying video games, watching TV, and using the media in other ways. “Heavy media use interferes（干预） with sleep by reducing sleep duration（持续时间）, making it harder to fall asleep, and lowering sleep quality,” Meilan Zhang, an assistant professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, wrote in her rese

27、arch review in the journal, Sleep Medicine. But the relationship between youths media use and sleep is not so simple, said Michael Gradisar, who authored both that review and the Sleep Medicine meta-analysis. “Technology use is the new evidence when we are trying to answer Why are school-age childre

28、n sleeping less” said Mr. Gradisar, an associate professor of psychology at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia.There may be safe limits to technology use, Mr. Gradisar stated. For instance, recent research results indicate that using a bright screen for an hour before bed or even playing vio

29、lent video games for less than that will not necessarily interfere with teenagers sleep, he wrote.But longer periods of usage can be harmful to sleep, Mr. Gradisar added. Rather than delaying school start times, he said, the first step should be educating parents about limiting the hours that their

30、children are using technology before bed, and enforcing a consistent bedtime. Early school start times are also commonly blamed for students sleepiness, especially for adolescents. Secondary schools around the nation and the world have been delaying start times, often with positive results. Mr. Minn

31、ich of the TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center hesitated to put blame to any particular factor. But he did think that cost-saving measures to consolidate（合并）bus routes might help explain U.S. students sleepiness.“For those children who board the bus first, they must get up earlier, may end up

32、 sleeping on the way to school, and may end up arriving at school sleepy.” he said. 28Which of the following may be the best title for the text？AKids benefit a lot from technology.

34、is forbidden at home. CThey are allowed to go to school early. DParents should be well educated.31Who are most likely to be interested in the text AThe officials. BThe teachers. CThe parents. D.The researchers.DBack in 2003 an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers market. Nine pe

35、ople were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused.This is a frighte

36、ning accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.In our teenage years we all hear “driving is not a right, its a privilege.” That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer a privilege

37、that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia(痴呆) are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, these age-related problems affect some older adults driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his or her driving privileges should be examined.Licensin

38、g laws vary greatly from state to state, and its time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as saf

39、e as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow older drivers to continue driving could be new technology. Maybe a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldn

40、t some prescription（处方） drugs also be included? The average 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one or two prescription drugs daily.The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age

41、is not only challenging for the elderly drivers, its dangerous for the rest of us. 32The first paragraph is written in order to show .Athe harm of driving at an old ageBthe importance of traffic safetyCtraffic accidents are on the riseDmany elderly drivers are careless33The author suggests that ther
