No One Words But My Own

The classroom was full of those of us who wanted to work on the school newspaper. 1 didn’t write a lot. but working on the paper sounded like fun. I __________the idea of being a reporter, interviewing my friends, and covering middle school events.

To be chosen, we had to turn in an example of our ___________ . I wrote an article about the joys of summer, and showed it to my father, a talent poet he read it and frowned (皺眉）.

“It’s okay.” my father said, taking out a pencil “But how about changing this sentence to ..." And as a result, he rewrote the whole piece—without me, for 1 never said anything to _________ him.

No surprise—his version(版本）was ___________ . He had a gift for language. It was so much better than my piece that I turned in his version instead of mine.

"Welcome to the Dundee School News," my teacher said to me. But before 1 could be _________ about the news, he added, “ Based on that excellent article you wrote about summer, I expect you to write a personal opinion article every week for the second page of the paper."

I was so surprised!. I was unable lo write at that level, but I couldn’t tell the ___________ to the teacher, and I couldn’t ask my father for help, either.

That term working on the paper was really painful. And my teacher clearly expressed his _________.

“Can’t you write something more like the first piece you wrote?” he said ,each time 1 turned in my article.

I couldn't, because at that age, I didn't have my fathers ability and experience as a writer. Week after week, I tried hard, but my writing never ___________ the level of the first article.

At last, to my total shame, another student took my place. I ___________ that my father rewrote my first article himself, instead of simply trying to help me to improve it .But in my heart I knew it was my fault （錯(cuò)誤）because I allowed him to do it.

Later ,I did become a successful writer on my own. looking back, I realized that the pain and shame of that school experience had a __________ side. It taught me to depend on myself and be myself. So every day, I try to use my own words, find my own style and be my own best self. It feels great.

Car-hailing company DiDi signed an agreement with TAL Education Group to provide free online courses for the children of taxi drivers. The courses, worth 30 million yuan, cover all subjects from primary to high school. Children can study courses at home, saving parents’ time to spend or pick up children from off-line after-school classes.

According to Zhu Jingshi, vice president of DiDi, all 153 million registered (注冊(cè)) taxi drivers of DiDi can ask for the courses on the company’s mobile app. The car-hailing company will evaluate (評(píng)價(jià)) the drivers and provide courses on the basis of the time they became registered drivers with the company, the number of passengers served and evaluation from passengers.

The health and education of children have remained top priorities of Chinese parents, including taxi drivers. A survey done by DiDi and TAL showed that although the average monthly income (平均月收入) of taxi drivers is only 6000 yuan, many would like to pay 40 percent of their income for their children’s education.

The survey found that most taxi drivers were born in the 1970s and 1980s and worked seven days a week. More than 70 percent of them have children under 18 but very few have time to be with family and children. Only 8 percent of them said they had guided their children in doing homework. Because of these, 60 percent of drivers hope their children could receive the guidance from professional services.

Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place?

Lots of people do. And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one-half of the brain "remains more awake" than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.

The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home. They call it "first-night influence". "In Japan they say, 'If you change your bed, you can't sleep,'" said Yuka Sasaki, one of the report's writers. "You don't sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it."

The researchers measured brain waves (測(cè)量腦波) for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart (間隔). They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half. This was during the first deep-sleep period, the researchers said.

Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.

Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long. So, they don't know if the left half keeps "watch" all night, or whether it "works in shifts (輪換) with the right half later in the night". They also do not know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.

For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is "looking out for us" in a new place. But it may not help with sleep. That brain activity, at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案，并將其標(biāo)號(hào)填入題前括號(hào)內(nèi)。

1. How many times did the researchers measure brain waves for 35 volunteers?

A. Once. B. Twice. C. Three times. D. Four times.

2. The researchers found during the first deep-sleep period.

A. the brain waves remained the same

B. the brain activity helped with sleep

C. the right half of the brain kept "watch"

D. the left half of the brain was more active

3. Which of the following is one of the questions that remain?

A. Whether the new bed keeps you from sleeping.

B. How you have trouble sleeping in a new place.

C. Why the brain activity is always on the left half.

D. What people can do when they can't sleep well.

4.The underlined word "calming" has the closest meaning to" ".

A. pleasing B. different C. serious D. strange

5.What is the text mainly about?

A. What we will have to do to sleep well.

B. How researchers measure brain waves.

C. Who doesn't sleep well in a new place.

D. Why it's harder to sleep in a new place.
