I went up to my mother's bedroom after her death and found a box full of papers. Inside was a letter. “Dearest Andrew,” it began, “there was never a right time to tell you.”
Along with the letter was my adoption paperwork—“Parents: unknown”—and two newspapers. The first described a newborn baby, wrapped in a pink blanket, discovered on a doorstep by a paperboy. The second was from a year later, reporting that the baby was still in a children’s home, yet to be adopted.
It was a shock. My childhood was happy; my adoptive father died when I was eight, but my mother made sure I couldn’t have had a more loving home. I didn’t do anything about trying to find out my birth parents for 15 years. However, there were so many questions. Why did my mother abandon me? Did she get into trouble? I didn’t feel angry with her for leaving me, but I wanted to know more about the circumstances surrounding my birth.
I started to research my history and went on local television news. Amazingly, a man called Ronnie got in touch with the TV station, saying I reminded him of his father, Angus. We met up and I was surprised to see a man 20 years my senior. We arranged a DNA test. The results were positive—Ronnie was my half-brother.
Ronnie told me that my father would have been 60 when I was born. He died before I started my search. My father was having an affair with a young woman during the year of my birth, but she is now married with her own family and I should respect her privacy. I would like my questions answered, but not at the expense of her happiness. “Abandoned” is such a sensitive word, but I don’t feel any sadness or rejection, because I don’t know the circumstances of my birth. Instead, I feel unique.
1.From the passage we can know that Andrew .
A. was wrapped in a blanket when found
B. was brought up in a children’s home
C. served as a paperboy when his mother died
D. was abandoned by his birth parents a year after birth
2.What contributed to Andrew’s looking for his birth parents?
A. Anger. B. Curiosity.
C. Bitter childhood. D. Present poor life.
3.What can we know about Andrew and Ronnie from the passage?
A. Neither has seen Angus. B. Neither is the son of Angus.
C. Both have the same father. D. Both are at the same age.
4.Why did the author give up searching for his birth mother?
A. He hated her because she abandoned him on a doorstep.
B. He didn’t have evidence due to his father’s death.
C. He felt it lucky enough to find his birth father.
D. He didn’t want to put her into trouble.
5.Which of the following words can best describe the author’s attitude towards his adoptive mother?
A. Dissatisfied. B. Forgiving.
C. Grateful. D. Concerned.

Smith entered Mr. Watson's office. The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance.
"Smith,"said Mr. Watson," this past year your department hasn't earned money. We're going to drop that department. It's finished. I'm sorry, but you'll have to go.""But, sir, if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School."
"What's that!" said the boss. "Riverside！I didn't know you had a boy there. That's an expensive school for a man with your salary."
"I know,sir. But he likes it there so much！He's a star athlete and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ(冠軍) there."
The boss sat perfectly still for a long time---a faraway(恍惚的) look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said,"We've got to close your department, Smith. But you'll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours, maybe more pay. Now get out.You're here for life."

Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids. According to a new survey(調查) 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(機會) 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 manfen5 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.
1.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.
2.How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day?
A. 7 hours. B. 8 hours. C. 10 hours. D. 18 hours.
3.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.
