The children of Nome would be 37 if it struck the town. Dr. Welch needed medicine as soon as possible to stop other kids from getting sick. 38, the closest supply was over 1,000 miles away, in Anchorage.How could the medicine get to Nome? The towns 39 was already full of ice, so it couldnt come by ship. Cars and horses couldnt travel on the 40 roads. Jet airplanes and big trucks didnt exist yet.41 January 26, Billy and three other children had died. Twenty more were 42. Nomes town officials came up with a(n) 43. They would have the medicine sent by 44 from Anchorage to Nenana. From there, dogsled(狗拉雪橇) driversknown as “mushers”would 45 it to Nome in a relay(接力).The race began on January 27. The first musher, Shannon, picked up the medicine from the train at Nenana and rode all night. 46 he handed the medicine to the next musher, Shannons face was black from the extreme cold.On January 31, a musher named Seppala had to 47 a frozen body of water called Norton Sound. It was the most 48 part of the journey. Norton Sound was covered with ice, which could sometimes break up without warning. If that happened, Seppala might fall into the icy water below. He would 49, and so would the sick children of Nome. But Seppala made it across.A huge snowstorm hit on February 1. A musher named Kaasen had to brave this storm. At one point, huge piles of snow blocked his 50. He had to leave the trail(雪橇痕迹) to get around them. Conditions were so bad that it was impossible for him to 51 the trail again.

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 bornones 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, Minnesotam changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am. Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the results. 58. What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on? A. American kids sleeping habits. B. Teenagerss sleep-related diseases. C. Activities to prevent sleeplessness. D. Learning problems and lack of sleep.59. How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day? A. 7 hours. B. 8 hours. C. 10 hours. D. 18 hours.60. 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 dont need to go to school early.CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.61. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A. They developed very fast.B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patterns.D. They were closely connected.62. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Complex.B. Advanced.C. Powerful.D. Modern.63. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?A. About 6,800.B. About 3,400.C. About 2,400.D. About 1,200.64. What is the main idea of the text?A. New languages will be created.B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.C. Human development results in fewer languages.D. Geography determines language evolution.DIts back-to-school time for kids across the country, but for the lucky sixth-to eighth-grade students in Stephanie Stephens classroom at James L. Capps Middle School in Oklahoma City, the US, they are already off to a wizardry first few days of learning.“One of the toughest things as a reading teacher is instilling(逐渐灌输) a love of reading in those students that do not like reading,” Stephens, a teacher of 31 years old at James L. Capps Middle School, wrote to ABC News of her magical“Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone”themed classroom. “This year, I chose to go with a Harry Potter theme because if I am excited and enthusiastic, students tend to follow suit. My goal is to help students find at least one book or genre that they can find exciting and be as enthusiastic about as I am regarding Harry Potter.”When her kids walked into her elective reading and maths classroom on the first day of school Aug. 20, they were all excited to take a tour of the roomevery one of them felt like they had walked straight into Hogwarts in Harry Potter.“The majority of my students loved the potions most,”Stephens wrote.It took the creative teacher a week to plan and order the different book-themed items.“I thought of everything that happened in the novel of Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone,” she explained.“I chose to keep with only the first book regarding decorating. I made a list of things that I could decorate the room with. I thought of all the magical things Harry saw and experienced and put myself in his shoes and picked the things that I could pull off in a classroom. I never got to a broom or mirror, but I planned to add that to my room at a later time.”Stephens and her husband are such crazy fans of the Harry Potter books and movies that she says they actually“fall asleep to a Harry Potter movie every night”.Shes encouraging her students to be enthusiastic about school and learning by splitting her classes up into different“houses”where they will earn“house points”for positive behaviour.“Each class is a different house and they will earn house points for different positive behaviour in my classroom (5
