For many people the subject of hiccups (嗝) is a joke, but for Harry Mendes, a fifteen-year-old schoolboy from Birmingham, it was something quite different. His hiccups began one Sunday lunch time and continued day and night for two weeks. After the first week, Harry's parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure his attack. Harry, who is now back at school, described what happened to him. “When I began to hiccup, I drank a glass of water but that didn't do any good. That evening I had hiccups every four seconds. We tried everything to stop them. I held my breath and drank cold drinks. My father even tried to give me a shock but that didn't work either.” After a week of sleepless nights, he went to hospital. The doctors took an X-ray of his chest but they couldn't find anything wrong. “They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped.” Harry was very lucky. The world record holder is the American farmer Charles Osborne, who hiccupped for sixty-eight years. He stopped in 1990 at last, but nobody knows why. 1.Harry's hiccups lasted ____. A. a week B. fourteen days C. twenty-eight days D. one month 2.His hiccups started after he ____. A. drank a glass of water B. went to hospital C. ate an Indian meal D. finished his homework 3.His parents decided to take him to hospital when he ____. A. hiccupped for four seconds B. held his breath C. hiccupped at night D. couldn't stop hiccupping 4.His hiccups completely stopped one week after the doctor ____. A. gave him some medicine B. took an X-ray of his chest C.gave him a shock D. let him drink cold drinks 5.What does “shock” in this passage mean？ A.震惊 B.休克 C.喷嚏 D.哈欠

Yang Liwei circled the earth 14 times in 21 hours on October 15 and 16, 2003, landing on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Looking a little tired, Yang stepped out of Shenzhou V, smiling and waving at the waiting people. “I feel very good.” Yang said to Premier Wen Jiabao on the phone.

Experts(专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指) with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “ early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning. A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker (虚弱) than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night. Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class. 1.The 10-year-old boy begged for more minute to sleep because__________. A. he didn’t have enough sleep B. it wasn’t time for him to get up C. he didn’t want to go to school D. he wanted his mother to wake him up 2.In this passage we know if students don’t get enough sleep, they may________. A. become too weak to sleep B. not work well in class C. go to bed early D. be weak in English 3.In this passage “early birds” means “persons who ______________” A. get up early B. get up late C. sleep less D. don’t want to sleep 4. “Stay up late” here means “_____________” A. study late B. watch TV late C. not go to bed until late D. stay outside 5.According to the passage, which of the following is right?_________ A. If you want to study better, you must work hard at night. B. Sleeping less means working hard. C. Some clever students are able to work well in class because they have good study habits. D.
