After a busy day of work and play,the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time,the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep,each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep,your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly,and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level,your body adjusts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Although your mind slows down,from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs,your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM,which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have trouble falling asleep,some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!
49. A good title for this passage is .
A. Sleep B. Dreams C. Good Health D. Work and Rest

A. sick B. asleep C. stand up D. a little sleepy

Sightseeing In London
Worried about the time available. Zhang Pingyu had made a list of the sites she wanted to see in London. Her first delight was going to the Tower. It was built long ago by the Norman invaders of AD 1066. Fancy! This solid stone, square tower had remained standing for one thousand years Although the buildings had expanded around it, it remained part of a royal palace and prison combined. To her great surprise, Zhang Pingyu found the Queen’s jewels guarded by special royal soldiers who on special occasions, still wore the four-hundred-year-old uniform of the time of Queen Elizabeth I.
There followed St Paul’s Cathedral built after the terrible fire of London in 1666 looked splendid when first built! Westminster Abbey, too, was very interesting. It contained statues in memory of dead poets and writers, such as Shakespeare. Then just as she came out of the abbey, Pingyu heard the famous sound of the clock, Big Ben, ringing out the hour. She finished the day by looking at the outside of Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s house in London.The Tower of London Oh, she had so much to tell her friends!
The second day the girl visited Greenwich and saw its old ships and famous clock that sets the world time. What interested her most was the longitude line. It is an imaginary line which is very useful for navigation. It passes through Greenwich, so Pingyu had a photo taken standing on either side of the line.
The last day she visited Karl Marx’s statue in Highgate Cemetery. It seemed strange that the man who had developed communism should have lived and died in London. Not only that, but he had worked in the famous reading room of the Library of the British Museum. Sadly the library had moved from its original place into another building and the old reading room was gone. But she was thrilled by so many wonderful treasures from different cultures displayed in the museum. When she saw many visitors enjoying looking at the beautiful old Chinese pots and other objects on show, she felt very proud of her country.
The next day Pingyu was leaving London for Windsor Castle. “Perhaps I will see the Queen ” she wondered as she fell asleep.
53. What is the great surprise to ZhangPingyu while visiting the Tower
A. The shape of the tower.
B. A royal palace.
C. The guards’ uniform.
D. The Queen’s jewels.
54. Which is NOT the place ZhangPingyu visited on the first day
A. The Tower.
B. St Paul’s Cathedral.
C. Big Ben.
D. Greenwich.
55. Tourists to the British Museum in London may enjoy all the following EXCEPT .
A. Karl Marx’s works
B. Karl Marx’s reading room
C. treasure of different cultures
D. Chinese pots
56. Where will Pingyu go the next day

Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages. In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises,no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.
Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives.
People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it
There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.
57. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1
A. To arouse the reader’s concern.
B. To introduce the topic sentence of the whole passage.
C. To summarize the whole passage.
D. To state the primary uses of TV.
58. Television,as a source of entertainment, is .
A. not very convenient
B. very expensive
C. quite dangerous
D. very cheap
59. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that .
A. it keeps us informed
B. it is not very cheap
C. it enables us to have a rest
D. it controls our lives
60. According to the last paragraph, whether TV is good or not depends on .
A. its quality
B. people’s attitude towards it
C. its value
D. when we use it
