Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
(每小题2分，共50分)
Directions: After reading each passage, you will find five questions. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the best choice.
Task 1
There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep for eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of(不管) age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.
The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure(血压).
Why are so many people sleep-deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as "lazy". Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don't have much time to sleep. They only sleep for four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you'll do.
How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert(专家) in sleep. He says, "Sleep is like a credit card(信用卡). When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don't sleep for, the more hours you should sleep for to 'pay back' the hours on your 'sleep credit card'."
For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said. "Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish(愚蠢的) idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more."

A．Having a good sleep. B．Excited about sleep.

43、 According to Dr. James Maas, what is sleep like?______
A．An hour. B．A report.
C．A credit card. D．A piece of paper.
44、 What do the words of the famous person mean in Paragraph 5?______
A．Sleeping during the night is foolish.
B．Sleeping during the night is helpful.
C．People have no courage.
D．People always do less work.
45、 What is the best title of the passage?______
A．The Value of Sleep B．The Value of Study

Today everyone in the world uses paper. People use paper every day. Students do homework and keep a diary on paper. Paper is a great invention. With paper, we can make books and print newspapers. Sharing information is a lot easier with the help of paper.

Turing wanted to know if a machine could think for itself and trick someone into believing they were having a conversation with another person. This became known as the Turing test. In the test, a human talked to two other people through a computer. One was a machine, and the other was a person. This idea is still used today.

Task 3
Different people like different colors. Girls always like pink or purple. Boys usually like blue or brown. Why do people like different colors? Do you want to know the secrets behind colors? Just read on.
People like different colors because of their cultures and countries. For the Egyptians (埃及人), green is a color that stands for the hope and joy of spring. For Muslims (穆斯林), green means heaven(天堂). Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope during the Spring Festival. Chinese people think red can bring good luck to them. In some countries, blue is a symbol of protection. Greek people often wear blue necklaces in order to protect themselves.
People's choices of colors are also influenced by their bodies' reactions toward them. Green is said to be the most relaxing color. It can reduce pain and make people relaxed. Red can make a person's blood pressure(血压) go up and improve people's appetites(胃口). Many restaurant owners will decorate(装饰) their restaurants with red things. Red is also a color that can catch a person's eye easily. That is why some shopping websites always use a red "BUY NOW" button (按键). Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can make people eat less. So if you want to lose weight, using blue bowls and plates may be helpful.
