[单选题]The thought of not sleeping for twenty-four hours or more is not a pleasant one for most people.The amount of sleep that each person needs varies.In general, each of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy.Some people, however, can get by just a few hours of sleep at night.

　　It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps.But everyone needs some rest to stay alive.Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on this.Sleep is, after all, a very basic need.But a man named A1 Herpin turned out to be a real exception, for supposedly, he never slept !

　　A1 Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey.They hoped to negate the claims that he never slept.But they were surprised.Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping.He did not even own a bed.He never needed one.

　　The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen news- papers.His doctors were baffled by this strange case of permanent insomnia.Herpin offered the only clue to his condition.He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days be- fore he had been born.Herpin died at the age of 94, never having slept a wink.

　　The most likely reason on Herpion's insomnia was______.

　　A.his mother's injury before he was born

　　B.that he never got tired

　　C.his magnificent physical condition

　　D.that he got enough rest rocking

　　参考答案：A

[单选题]

　　Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government" s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees,not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.

　　Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one"s mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn" t working,to make collective decisions.

　　Yet this kind of safety doesn" t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challenge is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.

　　At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left after the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are unconscious or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.

　　We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person" s behavior. As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal made a particular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat" s best for the students.If we don"t feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and expectations , trust flies am the window and our relationships suffer.

　　According to Paragraph 1,why does the author scratch his head?

　　A.Because he doesn,t know what to do once schools are closed.

　　B.Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.

　　C.Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.

　　D.Because he is not in favor of the government's reform efforts.

[单选题]Train companies in Tokyo are taking action to reduce the number of people jumping in front of trains.They are fitting blue lights on station platforms to try and create a more calming atmosphere.The East Japan Railway Company has invested almost $170,000 to install the lights in all of the 29 stations on the capital's busy Yamanote Line.There has been an alarming rise in the number of people committing suicide at train stations.A total of 68 people threw themselves under trains in the year up to March.This compares with 42 suicides in the same period a year earlier.In 2008, Japan had nearly 2,000 suicides by jumping in front of a train; around six percent of all suicides nationwide.Suicides have risen sharply in the past decade due to poor economic conditions.

　　No one knows if the blue lights will work.There is no evidence to show that blue light reduces suicidal feelings. Keihan Railway spokesman Osamu Okawa stated: "We thought we had to do something to save lives.We know there is no scientific proof that blue lights deter suicides, but if blue has a soothing effect on the mind, we want to try it to save lives." The Associated Press news agency reports on a Japanese therapist called Mizuki Takahashi.She explained her reasons why the blue lights might be a good idea: "We associate the color with the sky and the sea.It has a calming effect on agitated people, or people obsessed with one particular thing, which in this case is committing suicide," she said.Other companies are watching this experiment with interest.

　　The use of blue lights to reduce suicides __.

　　A.has no result yet

　　B.is proved effective

　　C.is welcomed by suicides

　　D.has been refused by stations

　　参考答案：A
