8、e. C. The bus app. D. Valid student ID.BWhen Allen invited me on a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace, hot cocoa, and soft beds. But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled
9、with camping equipmenttents, sleeping bags, and water bottles, We were going on survival training!The ever-efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larg
10、er, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain.After 6 hours of climbing, we final
11、ly reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. We need to set up camp quickly, said Leo. There are dark clouds coming in. A storms on its way.I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and
12、pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless.Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thund
13、er echoed, I jumped. Dont worry. Summer storms pass quickly, Leo said trying to comfort me. And at least the rain will keep the bears away, he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incred
14、ible I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky.I wont lie I was still wishing for a hpt shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.24.

Disappointed.CSleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a persons wellbeing. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tir
18、edness increase a persons risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (being very overweight), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university scienc
19、e professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worm devices, which track a persons physical activity, would show a connection betwee
20、n exercise and academic achievement.While Grosss data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and t
21、heir results in the courses 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam. Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, its the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.The time students
22、went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. When you go to bed matters, Gross says, If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven ho
23、urs, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isnt everything.Perhaps the most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students grades. The overall cou
24、rse grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes.Who knew getting

Who were the people taking part in the study?A. Middle school chemistry students. B. Volunteers from different uni
26、versities.C. Professor Grosss own students. D. University student athletes.30. How did Professor Grosss team measure academic performance?A. Making the students wear a special watch.B. Using students university entrance test results.C. Giving the students regular after class quizzes.D. Using the stu
27、dents normal test and quiz grades.31. Based on the studys findings, who is likely to perform best academically.A. A person who has a good nights sleep the night before an important test.B. A person whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p.m. and 12 p.m.C. A person who sleeps from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. ea
28、ch day.D. A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.DHow affordable is high culture? One great myth of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballet and orchestral (管弦乐) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, at least, the claim is
29、 ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear Londons orchestras range from 7 to 9 same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest sea
30、t is 30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic, its an expensive 46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isnt so easy. True. British companies dont charge the ridiculous high prices found on the Continent (2,000 for a good seat at a premiere of La Scalas Carmen last December), but the tickets are
31、still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular techmological innovation has transformed the scene. Its live (or slightly delayed) cinema transmissions. The New York Metropolitan Opera now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the worl
32、d, and British companies arent far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (10 or 15 for the Royal Opera Houses shows) you can sit in your local movie-house and see a high-definition relay of whats occurring on the worlds grandest stages. No, its not the same as being there, but its almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images, particularly of dancers, are fantastic. And you can
