1 . Times have changed, but falling asleep in class is still a common occurrence (常事) among students.

Why do students sometimes fall asleep in class? An obvious reason is lack of sleep. However, there are also causes for getting too little sleep.

Homework is a daily occurrence for most students, one that can take three to four hours per night. A student who wants to be able to take part in any activity besides homework must stay up late to fit everything in. Club activities, sports, computer-game playing, and TV viewing, for example, all make students have less time for both homework and sleep. Sometimes students lack sleep because of after-school jobs for their families.

Physical problems can also cause students to fall asleep in class. For example, insomnia (失眠), which may keep a student up at night, causing exhaustion (疲惫不堪) during class hours, is a serious problem. Medical evidence also supports the idea that each person has a body clock that helps to decide his or her sleep pattern. Unluckily, these body clocks don’t always work according to school timetables.

The effects of falling asleep in class can be quite serious. First of all, sleeping in class is not a good way to endear (使受喜爱) yourself to teachers. And other students may make jokes about those who sleep in class. However, the most harmful effect of sleeping in class is missing out on important points. In the long run, sleepers may end up failing classes.

Since students are probably not going to deal with the problem, falling asleep in class will probably remain an all-too-common occurrence. It will continue until more teens find a way to balance their personal and social lives with school and work on their own, while still finding enough time to sleep.

2 . Do you know a large number of young people are influenced by all kinds of choices today?     1    

Scientists look on “mental internal friction (精神内耗)” as the confusion (混乱) that happens when people have to change their thoughts from “old ideas” to “new ideas”.     2     For example, “Are the new ideas good?” “Do they fit me?” or “Will they make me feel happy?” It is certainly not easy to discover the answers to these questions, especially when you are still too young to have enough life experience to make proper decisions.

    3     First, face yourself. As the saying goes, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” You have to honestly think about your own personal habits, even fears and worries.     4     A friend of mine decided to learn Beijing Opera. This may sound strange, but he said learning about “old things” made it easier for him to deal with the “new things” of modern life and all those changes. And the third thing is to spend time with nature.     5     Being with nature takes some time, but it will help you know yourself and forget the pressure of your “mental internal friction”.

4 . 阅读下面短文，然后判断短文后面各问题，正确的答案涂“T”，错误的答案涂“F”。

Strawberries look nice, but a light pressure can make them out of shape. Nowadays there are many young people who are just like strawberries. They easily break down when they face difficulties. They don’t know what to do when they are in trouble. They have a common name—strawberry kids.

Why are many students so easy to break down? Parents and schools are a main reason. Some parents do almost everything for them in their daily life, while schools care more about their grades instead of developing their personality (个性). Liu Yue, 13, is from Fujian. His mom hardly criticizes (批评) him and he always feels good about himself. When a teacher criticized him strictly, he felt surprised and sad. He began to doubt his ability.

Students should do something to make themselves mentally strong. An expert said, “When you are in trouble, don’t ask for help too quickly. You should try to deal with the problems first by yourself. I also advise you to take an active part in sports and social activities. That can make you mentally strong.”

Growing up is not just a happy process. Pains also go along with it. The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.

1. Some students are called “strawberry kids” because they all like to eat strawberries.
2. Some parents do almost everything for their children in their daily life.
3. According to the text, students should ask for help quickly when they are in trouble.
4. The writer advises students to be brave in the face of pains.

5 . Everybody can suffer from stress. No matter what your age is, you can feel stressed out by things that are happening in your life.     1     . Being a teenager is hard. You   are not a child anymore, but you are not an adult, even though you have to deal with some very grown-up problems and decisions.

Families can be one of the biggest causes of stress, such as problems with parents arguing at home.     2    . Some teenagers also feel stressed about choosing their education after high school. Getting a place at university can be very difficult, but you can learn some best ways to deal with it.

Get outside

Whatever the cause of your stress is, staying in that environment isn’t going to help much.

    3    . The fresh air will not only cheer you up but will also calm down your nerves (神经).

Read a book

One of the best things about reading is that it gives you an escape from your daily-life problems and worries.     4     Reading not only encourages you but also brings you peace in mind. Go for light or self-improvement based（以……为基础） books as they are easy to read and you’d always end up learning a thing or two.

    5     In fact, it can help you perform your best abilities and might even make you do things that you wouldn’t do in other ways. The key is to know whether stress is becoming a regular part of your life or not, if it is, then it’s time for some action!
