Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 36 up his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his 37 expensive “school” fees. He always owes his success to it.
At that time, Glen, who already got a PH Degree, decided to return to the motherland, starting a company. Before 38 , he bought a Rolex watch with the 39 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the routine customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be 40 down for inspection. Glen knew that carrying the 41 goods out had to pay the tax. And he worried about paying 42 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a worthless 43 . When he was 44 of his “smarts”, immediately , 45 the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, which 46 nearly 100,000 yuan into pieces at hearing Glen’s words. Glen was amazed. 47 he understood why, he was taken to the office to be 48 strictly. For many times of entry-exit 49 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked out every thing carefully in the box, and warned him 50 time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 51___ reusing and carrying fake and shoddy(劣质的) goods, he would be charged according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after 52 the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees,
too. He said that this made a deep 53 on him, because an additional high “school” fee that
he had ever paid made him realize the value of 54 , which he would 55 as a secret of
his success forever.

If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you don’t feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.
Dr. Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article entitled StressandSleep, indicates that stress / worry and (lack of ) sleep are directly related. Dr. Winkle says, “The more we worry, the less we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night’s sleep,” he adds, “we can often find the energy to deal with what’s worrying us.”
So, what is a good night’s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.
Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. “When you put the light out,” Dr. Winkle says, “concentrate on relaxing your muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you’ll be asleep before you know it.”

Who Owns the Moon?
Within the next ten years, the U. S., China, Israel, and a crowd of private companies plan to set up camp on the moon. So if and when they plant a flag, does that give them property rights?
A NASA working group hosted a discussion this week to ask: Who owns the moon? The answer, of course, is no use. The Outer Space Treaty, the international signed by more than 100 countries, states that the moon and other celestial bodies (天体) are the province of all mankind. No doubt that would annoy all of the people throughout the ages, like monks from the Middle Ages, who have tried to claim the moon was theirs.
But ownership is different from property rights. People who rent apartments, for example, don’t own where they live, but they still hold rights. So with all of the upcoming missions (派遣团) to visit the moon and beyond, space industry thought leaders are seriously asking themselves how to deal with a potential land rush.
“ This is a very relevant discussion right now. We’ve got this wave of new lunar missions from around the world,” said William Marshall, a scientist in the small-spacecraft office at NASA, but who spoke this week at an event hosted by NASA’s Co Lab, a collaborative(协力完成的) public-private working group. He was speaking from his personal interest and not on behalf of the agency.
To be sure, the United States aims to send astronauts back to the moon by as early as 2015, in a mission that would include a long-term settlement. China and Israel, among others, are also working on lunar projects. And for the first time, several private groups are building spacecraft to land on the moon in an attempt to win millions of dollars in the Google Lunar X Prize. Some participants say that they plan to gain some property rights in the mission.

A.the US will live on the moon forever

2.“ The Google Lunar X Prize” aims to ________.
A.encourage private groups to land on the moon

3.The underlined word “ that” in the first paragraph refers to ________.
A.the Outer Space Treaty
B.if and when they plant a flag
C.the NASA working group
D.monks from the Middle Ages
4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.The U. S. astronauts will live on the moon for longer time.
B.Many countries and private groups plan to go to the moon.
C.Why some private groups wish to land on the moon.
D.It is easy to gain some property rights on the moon.
5.We can infer from the passage that ________.
A.it’s a waste of time to work on the lunar project
B.“ The Outer Space Treaty” forbids private groups to land on the moon
C.all mankind has the right to land on the moon
D.whenever you come to the moon, you’ll get some property rights on it
