Hearing the front door open, I ran down to the kitchen and waited. I saw my dad come in, with the white envelope in his hand. I had waited all day for this, so I reached over him for it as soon as he set foot into the house. Angrily, he      41    the envelope on the table and said that it was nothing to get excited about, and that it was just a piece of paper. I grabbed (抓取) it and ran upstairs. I wondered why my dad did not understand how      42  I was to see my mid-year report card for my first year in middle school. I was really      43     by how he refused to consider all my hard work.
I saw my class rank (等级): 1/139. I did not behave what I saw. I felt my lips (嘴唇) form a smile and wanted to run downstairs to tell everyone. Then I      44    what my dad had said--- it was nothing to get excited about. I wanted to share my happiness with someone, but felt lonely.
I realized that I had become distant (远隔的) from my family. We used to ___45______late watching Disney movies, and my brothers, sisters and I would play tennis in the backyard all the time. I wondered when all that had    46    . I just no longer took part in them. My school work     47    all my time and energy.
While I had been busy with my study, I had also built a   48   between me and my family. I was only trying to become a person everyone could be     49      of.
I wanted to go downstairs, say sorry for my rude behavior and for every refused movie and tennis game, and be    50 of my family again, I knew I had to do something--because without their support, my achievement meant nothing.

Some people like to get up late, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day. Maybe those who don"t like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true.
Scientists made a survey in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising people had less disease than late rising people, and early rising people also looked healthier than late rising people, and so on.
So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need fresh air. But air is never as fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it is useful to do morning exercises.
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.
Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.
Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work^ such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.
Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit of early rising. They have to make an effort (努力）to do so. As the English proverb says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise•”
Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
小题1:People don"t always agree on whether to e»et up early.
小题2: In the passage the writer gives four reasons for early rising.
小题3: Early rising makes people happier according to the passage.
小题4:Early risers don"t look as healthy as late risers.
小题5:The writer encourages people not to sleep late.
