Sleep plays an important role in brain (大脑) development. Children should get enough sleep.

    16     A study says that because of being short of sleep, it is much harder for children to do something carefully. And also they become forgetful and easy to make mistakes. Another study shows that the right amount of night-time sleep is just as important for children's development as healthy eating and taking exercise.

    17     In general a younger child needs more sleep than an older one. Children at the age of 5-11 will need 10-12 hours of sleep a night while children at the age of more than 11 will need less hours.

In fact, many parents don't know how to help their children get enough sleep. Here is something you can do. For children at the age of 5-11, a 30-40 minutes' routine (常规) before sleep is helpful.     18    In the activities, children relax and enjoy themselves a lot, and they will go to sleep more easily.

Children at the age of more than 11 may go to bed late in the evening, talking with friends online, playing games or watching TV.     19     And even they will be tired during the day. So limit(限制) your children's use of the Internet, games and the TV before they go to bed.     20    

In 1987, a small company names Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second-largest maker of smartphones behind Korea’s Samsung. It has also become the world’s largest supplier(供应商) of 5G.

But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U.S. government ordered a ban on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U. S. governement planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt.

“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s founder and president said. “This ban from the U.S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.” Ren added.

In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only ￡4,000 at the beginning, but now it has beome a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic(浪漫的) as you imagine.”

Facing the ban of the U.S., Huawei is growing. Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019.At the same time ,sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world s largest telecommunications equipment(电信设备) supplier, selling in17 O countries! It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination? Right. A pen.

Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.

Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheels, the introduction of steam engine(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society.

In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.

The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.

Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.

Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.

Today I had a good time. It was sunny and you know sunny days make people     36     . My friends invited     37     to the beach to have fun. We did lots of things there. In the morning we went     38     on the sea. In the afternoon some were playing beach volleyball. As for me, I     39     the beautiful sunshine on the beach. It was really     40     .

The first time my wife Linda gave birth was in a hospital.

When Linda got pregnant ( 怀孕) for the second time, we wanted a home birth, not just for ourselves, but for our daughter. We are very open with our daughter. We want to teach her respect and awe(敬畏) for the things of bodies. So she was part of the process from the very beginning.

In the morning the midwives came just as Linda was climbing into the birth tub(盆).Our daughter offered her mom water and food while she rested. When she found the noise and activity of birth, she was too nervous to stay long, so she spent a few minutes next to the tub, then went into another room to play. The midwives called her back in time to see her brother come into the world. As Linda pulled our tiny newborn son up, our daughter and I rushed to her side,all four of us hugging and crying and very excited, That night, and many times since then, our daughter said. “I’m so proud of Mom for having a baby.” She has seen and admired the effort it takes to bring a new person into the world. It’s a part of her life, something that can happen in the same room where she colors and watches movies.

It was crucial that our daughter was part of that experience, not just for her, but for Linda and me as well. Everything we wanted for her— trusted care providers; a very familiar environment; continuing support; good food — were things we needed but didn't have the first time Linda gave birth. We crossed this threshold(门槛) together, as a family, and it was messy and scary and painful and unusual and mysterious and really perfect.

While he     50     the stone, he found a bag full of money and this message: “The money is for the thoughtful person who is worth my help. ”

England is very close to France.     66    　When an English person is traveling in France, he or she needs to follow the special culture.

Never refuse. You should never refuse an invitation to a social event or any kind of offer, even if you don’t like. Maybe it is strange for you.     67    　

Food and eating habits. As an English clerk, you are used to eating your packed lunch quickly before a computer screen n in the office.     68    　They go to have their relaxing meals and a 2-hour break. Maybe you always have supper at6p. m. ,so having to wait until 9 p. m. can be quite a challenge (挑战)for your stomach but it is certainly worth waiting.

Another thing about French culture of food and drinks is the coffee culture.     69    　But you will find French people often have coffee and slices of homemade cake with their old friends in their warm homes. I am sure you will also enjoy the lifestyle very much.

Greetings.     70    　But in France, people greet each other with two kisses on the cheek(脸颊)when they meet for the first time.
