She had to catch two buses to arrive in time for first-period chemistry at Ingraham High School in Seattle, US. ‎ Ingraham starts at 8 am, but Noble-Randall often didn’t get to sleep until after midnight. “It was really hard not to fall asleep in class,” she said. ‎ Her mom solved the problem this year when she discovered that other parents had hired a private city tour bus to take their children to the school. ‎ ‎“Now, she leaves the house at a much more reasonable time 7:10 in the morning... to catch the little tour bus at 7:23 am,” said her mother, Noelle Noble.‎ That may be one way to help students get more sleep. But more than 3,300 people have signed an online petition (请愿) looking for a better solution from the Seattle school district. Those who have signed the petition want all high schools and middle schools to start no earlier than 8:30 am. Most of Seattle’s high schools and middle schools start at 8 am or earlier. ‎ Later start times for teenagers is an idea that some parents around the nation, have wanted for years. They’ve provided plenty of scientific evidence that teenagers tend to be night owls and delayed start times improve their health, mood, attention, and, in some cases, learning. ‎ But attempts to delay start times for teenagers haven’t worked. Coaches don’t want late dismissals (放学) cutting into sports practices; community groups don’t ‎ want to wait longer for gyms and fields and before- and after-school programs don ‘t want to change their schedules. ‎ This time, however, they’ve got Seattle School Board. President Sharon Peaslee on their side. She herself is the mother of two high school students. Peaslee hopes other board members will pass her plan calling on the district to find a way to make the changes. ‎ ‎8. How did Noble-Randal solve her problem of early classes?‎ A. She quit first-period classes. ‎ B. She found a faster way to the school. ‎ C. She took a private city tour bus to the school. ‎ D. Her family moved to a house near the school. ‎ ‎9. People who signed the online petition want schools to . ‎ A. provide a school bus service B. delay school start times C. improve the quality of lessons D. stop students from falling asleep in class ‎10. Why did parents’ attempts to change school start times fail?‎ A. Not enough people signed the petition. ‎ B. No scientific evidence could support their idea. ‎ C. It would influence the schools’ schedules. ‎ D. It would influence many out-of-school activities. ‎ ‎11. What can we infer from the article?‎ A. More parents will hire a private bus for their children. ‎ B. Seattle schools plan to change their schedules next year. ‎ C. There will be less after-school activities and programs. ‎ D. There is now a higher chance of delaying school start times. ‎ D Silvia Maier works at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. She and her colleagues invited 51 young men into the lab for 3 hours of tests. They showed each man 180 food items on a computer. Each time, they asked the men to judge how healthy, ‎ tasty and appealing the food was. ‎ Then the researchers stressed out 29 of the men. They did this by asking each to put one hand in ice water for three minutes. If the water was too unpleasant, the volunteers could remove their hands, but must continue looking into a video camera. The men were also encouraged to put their hands back into the cold water. All the while, a researcher watched and videotaped the ordeal (考验). Another 22 men held one hand in warm water. They were not videotaped. ‎ Afterward, the researchers showed each man a series of two food items. They did this 210 times. And before making choices, the men were told to choose the healthier of the two items. When the testing was over, the scientists gave the volunteers a snack. Each man got one of the items he had said that he preferred. Despite being coached to choose healthy foods, the stressed men proved more likely to pick the less healthy. ‎ The researchers also performed brain scans of the volunteers. It showed what part of the brain was active as they made their choices. “Our findings indicate that stress affects the decision making,” Maier’s team concluded. And it does this by changing two brain pathways. One affects sensory information, such as taste. The other affects a person’s ability to make decisions such as eating what is good for us. ‎ More studies will be needed to confirm the new findings. But the early signs suggest that stress not only makes junk food more appealing, but also weakens the brain’s ability to resist eating it. ‎ ‎12. How did the scientists mainly get the result?‎ A. By doing experiments. ‎ B. By asking questions. ‎ C. By conducting surveys. ‎ D. By secret observations. ‎ ‎13. The cold water used in the experiment may make men feel A. pleasant B. frightened C. relaxed D. stressed ‎14. Why did the scientists scan the brains of the volunteers?‎ A. They wanted to find the IQ of them. ‎ B. They wanted to observe the activities of their brains. ‎ C. They wanted to discover the potential disease of them. ‎ D. They wanted to know the health conditions of them. ‎ ‎15. What does the last paragraph imply?‎ A. The new Swiss study is the final conclusion. ‎ B. Stress may increase self-control in eating. ‎ C. Stress makes junk food more attractive. ‎ D. It is easy for stressed people to resist tasty foods. ‎ 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ A student’s life is never easy.
