We all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP Portable Heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.

Younger students experience school bullying (欺凌) more frequently than older ones, and male students are bullied more than their female peers, a survey found.
It also found that nearly half of students had been intentionally hit or knocked down by classmates. About 6 percent said they are targeted by bullies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.
Being bullied can have a negative impact on a child’s personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. “Children being bullied will find it hard to trust others,” Zhou said. “They may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment(愤恨) or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.”
In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijing’s Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder.
The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in 2018. Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving
middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.
Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including boosting munication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involved in their children’s educational experience, as their presence and panionship have proved efficient in reducing bullying and its negative effects.
28. Who is the most likely to bee the target of bullying?
A. A 10-year-old girl from a key school B. A 10-year-old boy from a poor family
C. A 17-year-old boy from a rich family D. A 17-year-old girl from an ordinary school 29. Being bullied will cause students to go through the following EXCEPT _____.
A. a drop in academic performance B. a lack of trust in other people
C. a drop in the sense of depression D. a lack of confidence in themselves 30. We can learn from the text that _____.
A. bullying at school usually leads to acute stress disorder
B. bullying on campus has been brought into sharp focus by the media C. students who enjoy parents’ panionship will be bullying-free
D. the government should consider taking further action against bullying at school 31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Bullying affects half of students
B. Negative effects on children caused by bullying C. Is there anything we can do about bullying? D. The reasons for bullying on campus
D
That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night”, effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.
Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert(警惕的) enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.
Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.
32. What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research?
A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep.
B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.
C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins
D. She conducted studies on birds’ and dolphins’ sleeping patterns. 33. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?
A. She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.
B. She recruited (招募) 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences. C. She studied the differences between the two sides of participants’ brains. D. She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects. 34. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment?
A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains. B. She recorded participants’ adaptation to changed environment. C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli (刺激物). D. She pared the responses of different participants.
35. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?
A. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others. B. They tended to recognize irregular beeps as a threat. C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.
D. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones

IPads vs Textbooks
What if you could have your whole backpack at the touch of your fingertips? In the first month of the Apple iPads release, 25million were sold! People all over the world use iPads for all sorts of different things, but one of their finest qualities is the ability to be a textbook. 36
To begin with, iPads are less expensive. Textbooks bee outdated and schools have to buy new books, but with an iPad schools can update them for free. 37 Schools don’t have to spend $500 every year for iPads because they last a while and can be updated.
38 Students usually have multiple classes, which results in multiple textbooks. Heavy backpacks filled with books can cause back problem. A solution to that is an iPad, which only weighs 1.33 pounds and can hold all of a student’s textbooks.
Third, schools should get rid of their textbooks and get iPads because they have more capabilities. Some might think all of the apps are distracting, but the apps actually make iPads more efficient. 39 Textbooks cannot do those tasks, but iPads can easily do them with just a tap of the fingertip.
Lastly, iPads are a better choice for schools instead of textbooks because these devices allow students to access their learning anywhere at any time. 40 With iPads, they find it easier to get their homework done.
In conclusion, schools should get rid of their clumsy textbooks and switch to iPads. iPads have allowed this generation to have their entire backpack in the palm of their hands. A. Second, iPads cost less and are more popular. B. These tablets are perfect for busy students.
C. Therefore, they can use the saved money for other programs.
D. Moreover, in high school, textbooks have an average of 4.8 pounds each. E. iPads have already replaced textbooks in over 600 American counties.
F. Schools have every reason to do away with their school books and switch to iPads. G. IPads absorb the need to buy calculators, dictionaries, and other items that are found within the device.
