There are no rules about sleep. Generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about 7 and a half hours each night and probably more than 60 per cent get between seven and eight hours. But perhaps eight per cent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four per cent or so find that they want ten hours or more. (B)如果你感覺(jué)好的話, you’re probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get—their needs may be different. Exercise doesn’t seem to increase the need for sleep—office workers, for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.

Children sleep more than grown-ups—perhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teenage. Sleep patterns (睡眠模式) also tend (傾向) to be different in the elderly, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger, find sleep getting worse, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.

Most families love to go on holiday together. It is great fun to leave your common life behind and go somewhere different and exciting!

【1】Some people enjoy traveling around cities and visiting museums. Other people prefer outdoor holidays, where you can hike or go boating. Some people like cruises, where the huge ship is like a hotel.

Many families go on holiday in summer, when schools are closed. 【2】In the past, most British families would take their holidays at a British seaside town. However, now many people choose to go abroad instead. One reason for this is to escape(躲藏) the possibility of rain at home! France, Spain and Greece are popular destinations(目的地).

In the United States, summer holidays often involve a road trip. 【3】It is common to drive hundreds of miles to get to your destination. If the beach is too far away, you could go to one of the national parks. Many people love to enjoy the natural beauty of places such as Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon.

【4】In winter, many people go skiing. The Alps are a very popular place to ski. The mountain scenery is truly wonderful! You can try downhill skiing, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing.

Not matter what kind of holiday you take, there are two things that nearly everyone does. The first is to sent postcards to friends and family at home, so they can see a photo of the place where you are. The second is to buy some sort of souvenir(紀(jì)念品) to that you can remember your trip——maybe a T-shirt or an art piece.【5】

B Few people like to take holidays in winter.

C There are many different kinds of holidays.

One Saturday afternoon, Tom and his sister, Viv, were having tea in a café. Tom was telling Viv about his history project. “On Monday I am giving a speech in front of the class. It will be about famous inventions,” Tom told Viv. “Let’s go to the public library and find a book on inventions,” suggested Viv. “We’ll call the library first to see what time it closes.”

They walked over to an old telephone box and went inside. Just as Viv was about to ring ‘1888’, the number for Directory Enquiries（電話號(hào)查詢臺(tái)）, there was a loud crash outside the phone box. A woman had dropped her shopping bags.

Viv dialed the number. When she had finished, the telephone box started shaking, and a loud noise filled their ears. The shopping centre disappeared, and everything went dark. Suddenly there was a big bump. The telephone box stopped shaking and everything was quiet. Tom and Viv looked out of the window. They couldn’t believe their eyes! They were in the middle of a large field. Tom pushed the door and stepped outside.

“This is amazing!” he said. “I think we’ve travelled through time.” Suddenly some men on horses appeared. They were wearing strange clothes. They saw the children and started riding towards them, shouting.

“Let’s get out of here!” Tom shouted. They ran back inside and closed the door behind them.

“Those men look like people from the past,” Tom said. “You dialed the number ‘1888’ for Directory Enquiries. If we dial ‘2018’, perhaps we’ll return home.”

Tom dialed the number. He was nervous, however, and dialed ‘3010’ by mistake. The telephone box started shaking again, and the field disappeared. There was another large bump. Looking outside, the children saw strange buildings and cars. A face suddenly appeared outside the window. The person had three eyes! Viv shouted with fear.

“I don’t want to be in the future. I want to go home,” said Viv. Tom quickly dialed ‘2018’. Soon they were back in the shopping centre. Outside, a woman was picking up some shopping bags that she had dropped. Tom recognized the woman. “We’re back! Let’s help that woman with her shopping bags,” he said.

“Thank you. You’re very kind,” the woman replied to Tom’s offer of help.

She turned to look at the children. Tom and Viv jumped in horror. The woman had three eyes…

Two days ago, I had taken a test in Biology, and I knew that I would get my scores in the same class today.

After the bell rang, every student sat in his or her seat impatiently. Then, one by one, the teacher called our names.

As each paper was given back to the correct student, the front of the answer paper would always be turned to face the ground and the paper itself would be slightly folded (折疊) to prevent anyone from seeing.

In fact, folding each test paper is a way to make sure that each student sees only his or her own scores. The scores are seen as private information not to be announced or shown to others. As a way to keep the students’ score records secret, each student is given an online account (賬號(hào)). Each student can use it to check his or her grades on the official school website.

Protecting students’ private information always comes first in US schools that want to free students from unnecessary pressure(壓力). School reports are guarded closely to prevent poor grades from damaging a student’s dignity and reputation (尊嚴(yán)和聲譽(yù)), which are for himself or herself only.

However, some insist that although students’ feelings and self-dignity are easily hurt, they cannot be forever protected. They say that school also teaches their students to make themselves stronger in mind, and the classroom should show the reality of competition in society. Scores that everyone can see might better encourage students to work harder to be better than others.
