19．The house was quiet at 5am and Tim's mother was asleep．Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet．He'd dreamt of the cave last night．The purring （輕微顫動聲） of the freezer had been the sea．
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag．It was too early for breakfast．He'd eat after he'd been through the cave，sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea．
He wished he had a proper pack．His schoolbag would have to do．What else？Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches，she'd want to know why he had to leave so early．He settled for some biscuits，and left a note stuck to the table：Gone to Michael's．Back tonight，Tim．
The sky was high and soft and light outside，though the sun still wasn't up．Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street．The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet．
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday's sun，though the top of the sand was cool．He ran down to the beach impatiently，but there was no one，just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves．
The light changed suddenly．The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea．The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world．
Over the first rocks，along to the point，Tim glanced back．The beach was still empty．The sun sailed higher in the sky．
He could see the cave now，even darker in the morning light．The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it．He had to force himself to go closer．Why was it so much more mysterious now？But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble．He needn't go in all the way…

21．What did Tim do at the beginning of the story？D
A．He put a sweater in his schoolbag．
B．He had breakfast at home．
C．He left a note on the freezer．
D．He left the house quietly．
22．What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave？B
A．The height of the first rocks．
B．The change in the position of the sun．
C．The ups and downs of the waves．
D．The vast stretch of the sunlit beach．
23．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story？A
A．Tim was the only person on the beach．

C．The sea looked like a piece of gold．
D．The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave．
24．In the story，Tim's mood changed fromC．
A．loneliness to craziness
B．a(chǎn)nxiousness to excitement
C．eagerness to nervousness
D．helplessness to happiness．

6．Celebrating sleep
World Sleep Day，observed on 21March，was created to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems worldwide．Sleep is a natural part of human life，but many people in the modern world ignore its importance．As a result，sleep problems are increasingly common．
In 2002，scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35，000people in 10countries around the world，including China，Belgium and South Africa．Of the people that responded to the survey，24percent said that they did not sleep well，and based on their responses，31.6percent were diagnosed（診斷）with insomnia （失眠） and another 17.5percent were diagnosed with borderline insomnia．In addition，30.7percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11.6percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day．
Overall，the survey found that many people suffer from the effects of poor quality sleep，some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night．The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life，but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep．The survey's findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night．The shortterm effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating．If this happens for a long time，the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase．
There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep．First，you should have regular sleep habits．Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day．You also need to make your bedroom a cool，dark，quiet place to sleep so that heat，light and noise do not disturb you．At night，you should also avoid things that contain caffeine（咖啡因），such as chocolate，coffee，tea and many soft drinks，as caffeine may keep you from sleeping．
Getting a good night's sleep is important for everyone．By following the advice above，you can rest better at night and work better during the day．

14．The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women．During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman's life spent in caring for children．A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties，and would be likely to have seven or eight children，of whom four or five lived till they were five years old．By the time the youngest was fifteen，the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years，during which custom，chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work．Today women marry younger and have fewer children．Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty．Even while she has the care of children，her work is lightened by household appliances（家用電器）and convenience foods．
　　　This important change in women's way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position．Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job．However，when they married，they usually left work at once and never returned to it．Today the school-leaving age is sixteen，many girls stay at school after that age，and though women tend to marry younger，more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born．Many more after wads，return to full or part-time work．Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage，with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life，and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home，according to the abilities and interest of each of them．

23．We are told that in an average family about 1990A．
A．many children died before they were five
B．the youngest child would be fifteen
C．seven of eight children lived to be more than five
D．four or five children died when they were five
24．When she was over fifty，the late 19th century motherD．
A．would expect to work until she died
B．was usually expected to take up paid employment
C．would be healthy enough to take up paid employment
D．was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely
25．Many girls，the passage says，are now likely toD．
A．marry so that they can get a job
B．leave school as soon as they can
C．give up their jobs for good after they are married
D．continue working until they are going to have a baby
26．According to the passage，it is now quite usual for women toC．
A．stay at home after leaving school    B．marry men younger than themselves
C．start working again later in life    D．marry while still at school．

Happy and her husband Ben，70，have a huge garden．They spent many happy hours together working on it．Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden．As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben's beans，we all wished we also had such a large garden．As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market，Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard．
