More sleep can help improve athletes’ performance

If you’re an athlete in training, you may need more sleep.

“Just as athletes need more energy when they’re in training, they need more sleep, too.” said David Geier, a scientist from Charleston, South Carolina. “You’re pushing your body in practice, so you need more time to recover (恢復(fù)).”

Athletes in training should sleep about an hour more than usual. “You can go to sleep earlier, or take an afternoon nap (午睡),” Ceier said, “Not getting enough sleep not only makes you feel tired but also has a big influence on what’s happening inside your body.”

Felicia Stoler, a sports expert in New Jersey, agrees. “A good sleep is the time when your body repairs itself,” she said. “If we don’t get enough sleep, we won’t perform well.”

Many researches also support their opinions. Experts spent several months researching the basketball team of Stanford University. During the period, the players added almost 2 hours to their usual sleeping time every night. As a result, the players increased their speeds by 5%. And they felt happier. Other researches have shown the similar results from football-players and other athletes.

【題目】Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain(谷物，糧食) on the plate comes from hard work.” But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food. A CCTV program reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were over 820 million hungry people around the world in 2018, especially in developing countries. In China, nearly 134million people are hungry.

Years ago, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired(解雇) because she took some leftover food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized(批評(píng)) the waste of food. What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food?

Here are some tips: 1.Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you have ordered, take the rest of it home. 2.Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.

【題目】 There was a time when hot summer days brought children outdoors to local rivers to catch minnows (米諾魚). Walking in cool rushing water to catch the small, silver fish was a fun chance on a hot summer's day. Before setting out for the river in their neighborhood, however, children first had to look for a bag. Both boys and girls loved this outdoor activity a lot.

While reaching the side of the river, the children pulled off their shoes and socks and put their feet first into the cold water. Walking carefully in the water, they looked for the right place where the minnows flashed (閃光). Catching minnows was very easy if two children worked together. Taking two corners of the bag, each child stood in the water and slowly lowered the bag until it was at the bottom of the river. Then, standing very still (靜止的), the children waited for the fish in the river to do normal activity. The children would again get a corner of the bag in each hand and raise the bag straight up quickly, keeping it as level as possible. Lots of tiny silver fish would cover the bag.

The joy of catching minnows is that, once caught, the fish are thrown back into the water to continue their natural lives. Perhaps they will be taken up by other children and then return to their watery home again. So the bag is lowered back into the river, and the small fish swim off. Then the whole process is repeated once more as more minnows are caught and then released (釋放).

【1】Why did children first have to look for a bag?

A. They looked for something to protect themselves.

B. They looked for the tool to catch fish.

C. They had to use the bag to take the fish home.

D. They had to use the bag to divide the fish.

【2】What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A. Why the children catch minnows.

B. Why the children like playing in the water.

C. When the children go to the river.

D. How the children catch minnows.

【3】What does the underlined word “l(fā)owered” mean in Chinese?

A. 把……混合B. 把……擦掉C. 把……放低D. 把……分開

【4】How do the children deal with the fish they catch?

A. They throw them back into the water.B. They take them home and cook them.

C. They keep them as pets.D. They sell them for money.
