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

    1     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.

    2     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 fewer 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.     3     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.     4     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.     5    

A．If not, many problems will come to them.

B．Why does a child need so much sleep?

C．How many hours of sleep is enough for a child?

E．It includes a bath, reading a story together and so on.

【推荐2】The question whether there is life on Mars (火星) has made the public think a lot for more than a century. The closest look showed Mars to be a dusty, cold world, covered by air too thin to breathe. A British spaceship and Europe’s Mars spaceship plan to land on Mars or enter orbit (轨道) around it. One of the NASA’s (美国宇航局) spaceships is expected to land on January 3, the other is going to land on the opposite side of Mars on January 24.

Since 1960, over twenty spaceships sent to Mars have failed. Most have been lost on flying up or landing because those are the most difficult times of any flights.

Scientists wanted to find out whether there was water in Mars. In October, a team of scientists reported that Mars had been a dry wasteland. But weeks later, a second team reported differently that they had found some marks showed clearly that they were made by the rivers. Such marks told us that Mars was a warmer place billions of years ago—just as life first appeared here on Earth. Scientists at once raise a question: if what they said is true, what happened on Mars? Then what about the earth?

1. Which is right about Mars?

A．It’s cold without dust.	B．There is no water or air.
C．It’s warm with some thin air.	D．It’s a dusty, cold world almost without air.

2. Two NASA’s spaceships ________.

A．will land on the different sides of Mars	B．will land on the same day
C．will enter orbit around Mars	D．will land with a man

3. A team of scientists reported that there might be ________ in Mars.

A．nothing but air	B．nothing
C．water billions of years ago	D．thick air and lakes

4. What are scientists worried about when they raise the question?

A．Life disappeared on Mars.	B．Spaceships can’t land on Mars.
C．The air on the earth gets less and less.	D．The earth might be changed like Mars.

【推荐3】China has completed its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, or BDS, becoming another one in the world with a global navigation network (导航网络), the other three being GPS of the US, GLONASS of Russia and Galileo of the European Union.

As the name suggests, the global navigation satellite system provides navigation and location services 24 hours a day. From what we have known so far, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems have been set up. Why does China have a new one if there is nothing special?

The other three systems have 24 satellites in MEO (中轨道). In addition to the 24 satellites, China’s new global navigation satellite system BeiDou-3 also has three satellites in GEO (地球静止同步轨道) and three in IGSO (倾斜地球同步轨道). What’s special about these six satellites is that they have a relatively fixed area of activity. This can improve BDS’ accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia-Pacific region to 5 meters, compared with a 10-meter accuracy in other areas.

BDS has another advantage the short message service. It allows users to have a two-way communication. In areas not covered by communication signals, BDS can make the short message service available in uninhabited areas, such as deserts, forests, mountainous and polar areas. With this service, users who are in danger can tell the rescue team (救援队) their location and condition.

As the most populous country in the world, it’s important for China to have its own global navigation satellite system to meet the needs of the country’s development.

In fact, BDS is also good business. According to the official report, China’s satellite industry has kept a 20% annual growth since 2012. And BDS contributes about 80% of it. In addition, BDS has also created countless high-paying jobs. And with continuous improvement, it will have much more to offer in the future.

1. BDS is the ________ global navigation network in the world.

A．third

B．fourth

C．fifth

D．sixth

2. How many satellites does BeiDou-3 have in total?

B．It describes a place impossible to get to.

C．It describes a place with lots of animals.

D．It describes a place with no people living in it.

4. Which of the following is TRUE about China’s BDS?

A．It can only be used in China.

B．It has encouraged China’s social development.

C．It has caused a number of people to lose their jobs.

①Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning.

②We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.

③Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists noticed that a yawn could help a warm brain cool down.

④Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (拉紧) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums (耳膜) stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things.

⑤In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air.

⑥Facts about Yawning are interesting, but scientists do not spend much time studying it. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do.

Primary and junior high school students now are allowed to stay at school for 2 hours after school. Students can enjoy their hobbies or take part in other after-school activities.

This is one of the key measures（措施）of the “double reduction” policy（“双减”政策）across the country. The policy tries to reduce students’ stress caused by too much homework and off-campus training（课外辅导）.

When students leave school, they can see their parents instead of grand-parents outside to pick them up. Students and parents are happy about it.

“It’s good that I can come to pick up my son,” said Mrs. Kang, a mother of a second-grader. “I have bought extra（额外的）exercise books for him to do since he has no homework now. I still need to know how well he has learned.”

The changes also mean that students can choose to do their homework at school after classes. Lang Lang, a student at a junior high school, has less homework now. “The teacher has cut out the repetitive homework, and there are so many after-school activities for us to take part in. It’s great.”

Now almost all primary and middle schools offer two-hour after-school services on weekdays. Over 90 percent of students can finish their written homework in the set time. About 92 percent of schools have opened after-school arts and sports classes. More than 80 percent of off-campus training has closed down or turned to other fields of business.
