Are you suffering from FOMO –?that is, Fear Of Missing Out? Research shows that a growing number of young people experience FOMO.
Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night’s sleep every night. You aren’t able to do your best unless you sleep well. Most experts agree that the best number of sleeping hours is eight. However, I know that most of you get much less sleep than that.
I read an interesting article which did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at certain time but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack but because of a new phenomenon(现象): fear of missing out!
According to the article, schoolchildren are suffering because of a growing trend(趋势) wake up during the night to check social media (媒体). Afraid of missing a reply or chance to take part in a chat, teenagers are waking at all times of the night and going online.
____________________________________________________________________________.
23% of 12 to 15-year-olds?wake up nearly every night to use social media. One in three students is often tired and unable to work well.
Students who use social media during the night?are more likely to suffer from anxiety(焦虑).
So, I’d like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Be brave! Turn off your phones at night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! I give you my word that you won't have missed anything important. 48.

Six months before she died, my grandmother moved into an old people's home and I visited her there when I was in Britain. She was sitting in the living room with about 15?other people, mostly women, half of them asleep. The room was clean and warm, with flowers and pictures. People only moved when they needed to be helped to the bathroom. It was depressing. My grandma talked a lot about how much she missed seeing her grandchildren, but I knew that they hated going to visit her there. And to be honest, I couldn't wait to get away myself.
So I was interested to read an article about a new idea in old people's homes in France. The idea is simple, but creative: combining（结合）a home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and old people eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting, gardening and caring for the pets. In the afternoons, the old enjoy reading or telling stories to the children. There are trips out and birthday parties, too.
This new type of old people’s home brings many advantages. The children are happy because they get a lot more attention because someone has time for them. And of course, they see illness and death and learn to accept them. The old are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around.
Nowadays there is less and less contact(联系) between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, including working parents with no time to care for the elderly, families that have moved away and smaller houses with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. It's a main problem in many societies.
52. In the old people’s home that the writer's grandmother was in, _________. A. old people were lonely
B. children weren't allowed to visit C. rubbish was littered everywhere D. everyone was very happy
53. The underlined word “depressing” in Paragraph One means _________ in Chinese. A. 高兴的 B. 压抑的 C. 兴奋的 D. 恐怖的 54. _________ get(s) many advantages from this new type of old people’s home. A. The persons who take care of the old B. Old people
C. The old and the children D. The writer
55. According to the writer, which of the following is a main problem in society today? A. There isn’t much contact between the old and the young. B. There are not enough old people’s homes now.
C. There are more and more newly-born children to raise.
D. There is no room for grandparents in their children’s houses.

Has such a scene ever come to your mind? You're sitting in the hot sunshine beside the swimming pool of your international hotel, drinking your expensive whisky. In front of you is the
beach, only for hotel guests. Around the hotel are fancy international restaurants.
Is this your idea of paradise (天堂) or would you prefer something different?
Nowadays, many of us try to live in a way that will harm the environment as little as possible. We recycle our newspapers and bottles, we take public transport to get to work. And we want to take these attitudes on holiday with us. This is why ecotourism(生态旅游) is becoming more popular all over the world.
Everyone has a different idea about ecotourism, but most people agree that ecotourism must: protect the wildlife and culture of the area; do no harm to the nature; offer an experience that tourists want to pay for.
So, for example, in a true ecotourism project, tourists stay in local(当地的) houses with local people, not in specially built hotels. They travel on foot, by boat, or bicycle so that there is no pollution. And they have a special experience that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
This type of tourism can only involve（涉及）a small number of people, so it can be expensive. And if you want to have an ‘eco’ holiday wherever you go, remember these basic rules:
Be prepared. Learn about the place that you're going to visit. Find out about its culture and history. Think of your holiday as a chance to learn something.
Have respect for the local culture. Wear clothes that will not annoy people. Always ask permission(允许) before you take a photograph. Remember that you are a visitor.
Don't waste resources. If the area doesn't have much water, don't take two showers every day.
Stay in local hotels and eat in local restaurants.
But before you get too excited, think about how you are going to get to your dream 'eco' paradise. Flying often causes air pollution. So don't forget that you don't have to fly to foreign places for your 'eco' holiday. There are probably places of natural beauty in your own country that you've never visited.
56. The passage is led in through _________.
A. an introduction B. imagination C. a story D. advice
57. If you want to have an ‘eco’ holiday, you are supposed to do the following EXCEPT _________. A. taking photos when you are allowed to B. saving resources
C. wearing whatever you like
D. learning about the place you’re going to visit 58. We can infer from the passage that _________. A. eco-tourism may be welcomed by the local people
B. international restaurants and hotels have a lot to do with ecotourism
C. choosing holiday places that don’t need air travel can be a part of ecotourism D. people can only travel to places in their own country to have an “eco” holiday 59. The best title for the passage is _________. A. How to Choose Holiday Places B. The Advantages of Tourism
C. How to Protect the Environment
D. Ecotourism – A Different Way of Taking a Holiday

How do you usually go to school: walk, cycle, take a bus or drive?
Most people know that students who go to school by bus or car are more likely to put on weight than those who walk or cycle. But did you know that exercising less could also make you fall behind in your schoolwork?
Two Danish universities recently carried out a study of 19,527 students between the ages of 5 and 19. The students were asked how they traveled to school and were then given a test. It was found that the students who were driven to school, or took a bus, performed worse in the test because they had poorer concentration (集中注意力) than those who took a more active way. “As a third-grade pupil, if you exercise and ride a bike to school, your ability to concentrate increases to the equivalent (同等) of someone half a year further in their studies,” said Niels Egelund, a member of the study.
Depending too much on cars is also a problem for adults. British people are much lazier these days. They are walking 80 miles less every year than ten years ago, a new study found.
“This creates a huge illness problem and lowers their quality of life, but most people don’t seem to know that it’s a problem,” said Harry Rutter from the National Obesity Observatory, UK. “A lack (缺少) of physical activity is the fourth main cause of early deaths around the world and causes about the same level of ill health that smoking does.”
65. According to the passage, do people in the UK exercise more these days?
