It brings no less harm than junk food to one’s health. Its survey of 1,000 teenagers aged 12 to 16 found that 30 percent managed just 4 to 7 hours sleep as opposed to (形成对照)the recommended 8 or 9 hours by the experts. Almost a quarter said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products. ‎ ‎“This is an extremely worrying situation”, said Dr. Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre. “What we are seeing is the appearance of Junk Sleep-that is sleep which is of neither the length nor quality that it should be in order to feed the brain with the rest it needs to perform properly at school. ”‎ Nearly all the teenagers had a phone, music system or TV in their bedroom, with around two-thirds possessing all three. Almost one in five of the teenage boys said the quality of their sleep had been impacted by leaving their TV or computer on. The survey also found that 40 percent of teenagers felt tired each day, with girls aged 15 to 16 doing the worst. However just 11 percent said they were bothered by the lack or quality of sleep. ‎ ‎“I’m surprised that so few teenagers make the link between getting enough good quality sleep and how they feel during the day,” Idzikowski said. “Teenagers need to wake up to the fact to feel well, perform well and look well; they need to do ‎ something about their sleep.”‎ ‎32. Which of the following is NOT true about “junk sleep”? ‎ ‎ A. It’s a kind of sleep with poor quality. ‎ ‎ B. It’s a kind of sleep with shorter hours. ‎ ‎ C. It’s mainly caused by the electronic products in the bedroom. ‎ ‎ D. It’s not as harmful as junk food to one’s health. ‎ ‎33. The underlined word “impacted” in Paragraph 4 can probably be replaced by “”.‎ ‎ A. affected B. improved C. destroyed D. inspired ‎ ‎34. It can be inferred from the passage that Dr. Chris Idzikowski is very about the present situation. ‎ ‎ A. worried B. satisfied C. angry D. disappointed ‎ ‎35. What should be the best title for this passage? ‎ A. Junk Food and Junk Sleep B. A Survey about Junk Sleep ‎ C. How to Avoid Junk Sleep ‎ D. Junk Sleep Is Damaging Teenagers’ Health 第二节 ‎：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。（如果所用的答题卡没有E、F、G选项，则选E涂A、B，选F涂A、C，选G涂A、D。）(每题2分共10分)‎ Ways to Take Care of Your Books What do you do to take care of the books in your library?
