Dreams can happen in any of the four stages of sleep. The most memorable and clearest dreams happen in the last stage of sleep (also known as REM sleep). The sleep cycle repeats about four to five times every night. So you can see how a person has several different dreams in one night. Most people only remember dreams that happen closer to the morning when they are about to wake up. That you can’t remember those dreams does not mean they never happened.
The stages in the sleep cycle are organized by the changes in different brain activities.

Stage 1: You are entering into light sleep. In this stage, your eyes move rapidly. We call this NREM. The body gets relaxed and your body temperature lowers. Your heart rate lowers, too. The body is preparing to enter into deep sleep.
Stage 2: Also characterized by NREM. In this stage, the body temperature and heart rate drop again. You are completely asleep.
Stage 3: Still in the NREM stage, this is a deeper sleep still.
Stage 4: In this stage of sleep, your eyes move back or forward. We call it REM sleep. This stage happens at about 90-100 minutes after the beginning of sleep. Your blood pressure rises, heart rate speeds up. The majority of your dreams happen in this stage.
These stages repeat themselves throughout a night’s sleep.
小題1: Dreams can happen in ___________.
A. Stage 1 and 2           B. Stage 3 and 4            C. every stage
小題2:Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?
A. These stages will happen once or twice one night.

小題3:What will happen in Stage 2?
A. Eyes move rapidly.   B. People enter into light sleep.    C. Heart rate drops.
小題4:The first REM sleep happens about ___________ after the starting of sleep.
A. 1 to 2 hours                     B. 2 to 3 hours                     C. 10 minutes

Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any “secrets” to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama’s “back to school” speech. Here is an excerpt(摘錄) from his speech.
I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping (饒舌音樂) or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.
But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try.
That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots (投籃) during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures beat you—you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.
No one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit(承認(rèn)) when you don’t know something, and to learn something new.
And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged (泄氣), and you feel like other people have given up on you—don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.
小題1:Why does Barack Obama mention (提到) JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the fourth paragraph?
A．To compare these two famous persons.
B．To explain that writing and sports are difficult skills.
C．To show that the two persons were treated unfairly.
D．To prove that failure is the mother of success.
小題2:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．No one can be successful without working hard.
B．Failure can be good if you treat it in a right way.
C．Those who believe in themselves shouldn’t ask others for help.
D．One should try his best to make his dream come true.
小題3:Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?
A．One should change his mind when others give honest advice to him.
B．One should believe in himself no matter what difficulty he is faced with.
C．One doesn’t have to work hard when he has failed several times.
D．One doesn’t have to take others’ advice when they get away from him.

Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace, and car.
1. Water.
A person needs at least 1/2 gallon of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.
2. Food.
It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable(不易腐爛的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned food, powdered milk, dried fruits, non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.
3. Flashlights(手電筒) and spare batteries.
Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks.
Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.
4. Clothes.
If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.
小題1: Why should people prepare themselves for an earthquake?
A．Because earthquakes can be known before they happen.
B．Because earthquakes take place without warning.
C．Because earthquakes usually take place in the neighborhood.
D．Because it’s people’s daily work to prepare the earthquakes.
小題2: About the prepared water, which description is RIGHT?
A．A person should prepare 0.5 gallon of water for one day.
B．You’d better use your own containers to keep water.
C．You’d better open the bottled water when you buy it.
D．You shouldn’t open the bottled water until you need it.
小題3: You should prepare all of the following except ______.
A．powdered milkB．fresh vegetables
C．dried fruitsD．canned juices
小題4:According to the article we know that ______.
A．we need to prepare some supplies only at home
B．a(chǎn) telephone is the most important prepared thing
C．flashlights but not matches are first used after earthquakes
D．clothes are used to protect your head
小題5: If you live in a cold place, you should prepare _______.
A．some warm clothes and bedding suppliesB．some hot water
C．some batteriesD．some flashlights
