grumpy. Not sleeping enough sleep can also make it harder to think clearly the next day.

able to do their best during the day.

阅读理解     Powerbocking is enough to realize anyone"s dreams of super powers:jump six feet in the air and run at
25 miles an hour or more.But,instead of costing six million dollars,you can get a pair of "powerbocks"for
just a couple of hundred.
     Mankind seems to have a strong desire to get off the ground.In the late 1890"s stilt walking(踩高跷)
attracted  Europe,with Sylvain Dornon walking from Paris to Moscow on stilts in 58 days.
     The inventor of the Powerbock,German engineer Alexander Boeck,studied the movements of
kangaroos in order to develop his original design.And the Powerbock allows humans to extend their own
Achilles tendon(跟腱)to come close to the length and power of those in animals like kangaroos.As a
result,exercising using the stilts reduces wear and tear on feet and knees while still giving the body enough
exercise.
     Powerbocking is considered as a form of exercise.You"ll burn calories five times faster than jogging and
it employs 95% of the body"s muscles.It"s also an extraordinarily easy form of extreme sport to take up -it
only takes about 30 minutes to master the basics.
     For a start,you"ll instantly add 18 inches to your height.And then you"ll be capable of the most
extraordinary skills of athleticism.Flipping(翻)backwards 20 times in 20 seconds to set a Guinness World
Record,for example,or leaping over cars.Acquiring them_is an awful lot of fun.It"s not surprising that
Powerbocking has been turning up everywhere-on talent shows,commercials and even as part of the
closing ceremony at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
     But,he warned-if you"re interested in taking up this sport,you need to know that no one can agree what
it should be called.The equipment is sometimes referred to as power stilts,jumping stilts,kangaroo boots
and many more.But there seems to be general agreement that the sport ought to be named
"Powerbocking"in honor of its inventor,Herr Boeck.1. What do we know about Powerbocking from the passage?A. It is difficult to learn.

C. It is a kind of ordinary sport.

     London has a new magazine. But it"s not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive
it because it is on TV.
     In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder. Each page of it is numbered, so you only
have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There"s a wide
choice—everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.
     If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index page which has an
easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The
news is on pages 101 to 109, so you push out the numbers and the news appears written across your
screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather
map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a
list of the week"s best bargains. But should you drive or take the train ? To answer the question you only
have to press 189 for the traffic report. It"s very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the
service is that it"s being updated all the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and
whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.
     London has already had three services. One, transmitted(传输)by ITV, is called ORACLE, while the
other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX, because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and
ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized. BBC engineers do not
think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you
everywhere. But many people agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing, which
could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life. 1. What is unusual about the mew magazine in London?A. You can find any subject you want in it.
B. No paper is used to print the magazine.
C. There 1,000 page numbers in the index.
D. The speed of transmitting is astonishing.2. It"s clearly seen from the passage that ________.A. it takes long for the service of the magazine to be updated
B. most of the postmen will be out of work someday
C. the readers can get all kinds of information without leaving home
D. everyone can read the magazine if there is a television at hand3. According to the passage, the "decoder" is used to help people to ________. A. read the information transmitted by TV signals
B. broadcast special TV programs at home and abroad
C. dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about
D. find the exact page in which you can get information you need4. The passage is mainly about           .A. a new magazine printed in London
B. a popular TV program with three services
C. a great breakthrough in printing
D. an up-to-date way of keeping up to date

阅读理解      I’ve been writing detective stories since I was a teenager. Some people think it’s a strange profession
for a woman, but I think crime fiction is for everyone. I’ve started giving writing classes and the most
common question people ask is, “Where do you start?” It’s impossible to give fixed rules, but there are some general tips that people often find useful.
      Before you start writing, choose a time period and place that sound realistic. A useful tip is to ‘write
about what you know’. If you were born in Paris or London, it makes sense to set your story in a
European city. Of course, you can write about any continent and any century, but you’ll need to do a lot
more research to make your story believable.
     The character of your detective is very important. He or she must have qualities that help them solve the crime, but they also need characteristics that make them an individual. He or she must also fit in the time
and place of your story. Readers are very knowledgeable and they will notice if you get any details wrong about the time period.
      Every detective story needs a crime, of course. You need to explain what happens before the crime,
the crime itself and what happens afterwards. Remember that you don’t always have to write about a
murder. Some readers don’t enjoy stories full of guns and blood. So, why not write about a theft,
kidnapping, or something different like an environmental crime?
       Clues are important to keep the readers’ interest. They must be interesting, but not too complicated or repetitive. The readers also need to know who the suspects (嫌疑犯) are and if they have an alibi, which means whether they can prove that they were somewhere else when a crime was committed. Decide at the beginning how the crime will be solved and how all the clues will be brought together. Readers love a
‘twist’ at the end of a story - a surprise or a new fact that brings the action to its conclusion.

1. The writer of the text is __________.

A. a man
B. a woman
C. a teenager
D. a criminal

2. Why is it a good idea to ‘write about what you know’?

A. You can write about any period in history.
B. You will have time to do your research.
C. You will believe in your story.
D. You won’t have to do so much research.

3. What does the writer say about readers of crime fiction?

A. They are only interested in the detective.
B. They don’t know how to solve the crime.
C. They know if the writer has made a mistake in the context.
D. They don’t care about the time or place.

4. What two points does the writer make about detective stories?

A. You can write about a range of crimes and readers like a shock at the end of a story.
B. Don’t write about murder and give a lot of clues at the beginning of the story.
C. You can write about guns and blood but don’t surprise readers at the end of the story.
D. You should explain the crime but don’t say who the suspects are.

5. Why did the writer write this text?

A. To describe being a story writer.
B. To give advice on writing a detective story.
C. To keep the readers’ interest.
D. To tell a real detective story.
