When I was 8 years old，I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother．With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag，I started for the front door．My mom asked where I was going．\"I'm leaving home，\"I said．\"What's that you're carrying？\"she asked．\"Some clothes and food，\"I replied． \"If you want to run away，that's all right，\"she said．\"But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way．\"
I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again．\"Wait a minute，\"Mom said．\"You didn't have any clothes on when you arrived，and I want them back．\"This infuriated me．I tore my clothes off-shoes，socks，underwear and all and shouted，\"Can I go now？\"\"Yes，\"my mom answered，\"but once you close that door，don't expect to come back．\"
I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home．Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house．I was so shy that I saw the big spruce （云杉） tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches （树枝）．A pile of dried-up brown needles （针状物） were beneath the tree，and you can't imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body． After I was sure the girls had passed by，I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly．\"It's Billy!Let me in!\"
The voice behind the door answered，\"Billy doesn't live here anymore．He ran away from home．\"

Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids．According to a new survey（调查） by the National Sleep Foundation，51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights，even though they have to get up early．Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7-to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day，and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school．

How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age．Babies need a lot of rest：most of them sleep about 18 hours a day!Adults need about eight hours．For most school-age children，ten hours is ideal（理想的）．But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10-to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours．And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime？Watch TV． \"More children are going to bed with TVs on，and there are more opportunities（机会） to stay awake，with more homework，the Internet and the phone，\"says Dr．Mary Carskadon，a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School．She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical．Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers' bodies develop adult characteristics，but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm． Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers，some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to．Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota, changed the start time from 7：25 am to 8：30 am．Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the results． 9. What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on？ ______
A. American kids 'sleeping habits． B. Teenagers' sleep-related diseases． C. Activities to prevent sleeplessness． D. Learning problems and lack of sleep． 10. How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day？ ______
A. 7 hours． B. 8 hours． C. 10 hours． D. 18 hours． 11. Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon？ ______
A. They are affected by certain body chemicals． B. They tend to do things that excite them． C. They follow their parents' examples． D. They don't need to go to school early． D
More than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed across the globe each day,

and it is likely that many taste bitter．
Now, a new study suggests that coffee lovers ran make their drink taste sweeter by simply changing the color of their coffee cups. Scientists from Federation University Australia and the University of Oxford claim that blue and glass cups reduce coffee's bitterness, without any need for sugar, and that coffee drank from while cups tastes the bitterest．
To prove their claims, the researchers invited 36 volunteers and used three different colored cups-blue, white and transparent to do an experiment. In the experiment, coffee consumed from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other two cups. And the cup made the coffee taste the sweetest． The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with coffee's bitterness because coffee in a white cup appears the brownest and tastes the bitterest. \"Our study clearly shows that the color of coffee cup does influence the flavor （风味） of coffee,\" Dr. George of Federation University Australia, said. \"But the potential effects may be different between a one-time purchase and a return customer.\" \"Anyhow, the effect of the cup's color on the flavor of the coffee suggests that cafe owners, waiters, as well as coffee cup producers should carefully consider the color of their cups,\" he added.
However, the idea that color can change the taste of food and drink is not new. A study published last year showed that red, strawberry-flavored cake served on a white plate was 10percent sweeter and 15percent more flavorful than the same food presented on a black plate.
12. Why does coffee in white cups taste the least sweet？ ______
A. Because white cups are not as beautiful as other cups． B. Because white cups are better used to serve cakes． C. Because white cups reduce the sugar in them． D. Because white cups make coffee appear the brownest． 13. What elements are involved in the scientists' research？ ______
①different brands of coffee ②different colored coffee cups
- 5 -
③some volunteers ④some producers A. ①② B. ②③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 14. What is the article mainly about？ ______
A. Color may change the taste in a way． B. Coffee cups will influence the taste． C. Customers' preference of coffee varies． D. Café owners need careful consideration． 15. How did the scientists prove their claims？ ______
A. By listing facts． C. By doing experiments． B. By analyzing data． D. By borrowing others' ideas． 第二节 七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
