只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 1 Unit 2 Working the land Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A simple half-hour delay in high school start time led to a significant improvement in students’ mood, alertness, and moti vation, and increased their average sleep time during the week, according to a new study. Judith A. Owens, MD, MPH, at the Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, R.I., and colleagues studied 201 students in grades nine through 12 attending a Rhode Island high school where the class start time was changed from 8 a.m.to 8:30 a.m. for a two-month period. Students completed online surveys before the change in class time and then after. Owens and her team found that: ★The percentage of students getting less than seven hours of sleep per night dropped by 79.4%. ★Students reporting at least eight hours of sleep per night increased from 16.4% at the start of the study to 54.7% after two months. ★The percentage of students who reported feeling at least somewhat unhappy or depressed dropped from 65.8%to 45.1%. ★The percentage of students who reported feeling annoyed throughout the day also dropped, from 84%to 62.6%. ★Reports of visiting a health center for tiredness-connected signs decreased from 15.3%to 4.6%. The findings are published in the July issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. Adjusting school times for teenagers is a controversial topic because some experts argue that a later class start time will result in students going to bed later and make the cycle of getting too little sleep worse. The researchers note that a later class start time led to the opposite effect-kids went to bed a little earlier and their overall sleep quality and duration(持续时间) improved.The researchers write that the school faculty（全体 教员） did not favor the delayed class start time, but after seeing the students’ change in attitude and performance, everyone had a change of heart. 1.According to the new study we know delayed class start time . A.increases the students’ reading time during the week B.makes students have more time to work part time C.helps students be active, attentive and creative D.increases their average height and weight 2.How did the students help to finish the study and survey? A.On the internet. B.Answer questions at the streets. C.Complete forms at hospitals. D.Complete forms at some schools. 3.What do we know from the findings covering the decayed class start time ? 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 A.More students get more than seven hours of sleep per night. B.Less students get at least eight hours of sleep per night. C.Fewer students feel at least a bit unhappy or sad now. D.Fewer students have tiredness-connected signs now. 4.Some experts don’t agree to take delayed class start time as they think_____. A.teachers will have to work overtime B.students will look for more part-time jobs C.students will sleep late and have less sleep D.parents will be worried about children’s safety 5.What is implied in the last paragraph？ A.The school faculty did not support a half-hour delay plan. B.The students’ change in attitude and performance wasn’t obvious. C.The parents did not support the delayed class start time at first. D.All people may be for the plan after seeing the students’ change in attitude. Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will get you a long-term hurt regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas: 6 There are isolating （孤立的） jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be the best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation. 7 Most jobs these days have some elements of changes to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine. 8 I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well. 9 This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly. 10 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this. Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better. A.Why is stability so important? B.Do you enjoy working with computers? C.Do you prefer working alone or with other people? D.How do you handle changes? E.How many areas might make you feel uncomfortable? F.How do you like to get paid? G.What type of work environment do you enjoy? Ⅱ.完形填空 Driving to a store after a busy day at work， I saw a man standing near the store holding a sign that said，“Will work for food.” I knew at that moment that I was going into the store and 1 him something to eat.
