• 1．Our math test started and I was sitting there and working away quite quickly．I looked around with 15 minutes left，because I had finished and was checking my test．
     I noticed something very special!
     Mr．Ward was staring right at one of the kids that seemed to be only halfway done with his test．Every test we took，there was always one guy scrambling at the last minute to finish his test．He would turn the pages and you saw blank spot after blank spot．Sometimes I even saw entire pages that were left blank．Mr．Ward did not take his eyes off this kid．It seemed strange to me．For the rest of the test，Mr．Ward watched that kid as he struggled furiously，tapping papers back and forth and writing furiously and erasing even more furiously．He seemed to use his calculator a lot more than he needed．
     After the test was finished，Mr．Ward gave his end of the year speech，basically along the lines of good luck and good job．Then I saw him go to the kid he was watching and tell the kid to go into the hall．
     Mr．Ward walked out of the room and went into the hall silently．He closed the door and from that moment on，I heard about 4 minutes of Mr．Ward shouting at kid．He got his test torn up and a zero for the end of the year exam and also failed for the term and had to take summer school．
     That was the first and the last time that I had seen Mr．Ward ever yell like that．
     Obviously the guy had written his answers inside the sleeve of the calculator and every time he was "using his calculator" he was really looking at the formulas and other information he had written inside of the sleeve，which was all in vain because Mr．Ward spotted it a mile away．

  A．Mr．Ward disliked his students

• 2．A New Island for Iceland Reykjavik，November 16，1963
     Today I have seen a new land on fire rising from the sea - a new creation making its mark on the map of the world．
     It has been clear and fine in the south of Iceland and this was an unforgettable sight as he steam clouds from the submarine volcano close to the Westman Islands rose to 25，000 feet．
     The new island is now 1，500 feet long and 130 feet above sea level where the depth is 60 fathoms．It is rising still and today it has been observed from ships and aircraft．
     The south of Iceland，where the capital，Reykjavik，is situated，is always liable to earthquakes and eruptions．Today，from the coast about 50 miles form Reykjavik，I watched the column of steam，black then white，ever changing and rising．It reminded me of the column from an atomic bomb，though certainly more beautiful and much wilder．At the top the rays of the setting sun may be seen like a crown to the newborn island．
     Thousands of people in cars，eager to see this wonder of Nature，are leaving the city of Reykjavik for the coast．
     Many people said Iceland is getting much larger and they could not conceal their patriotic pride．Others said this would mean an increase in Iceland's territorial waters．The new island would now become the southerly part of Iceland．
     On the Westman Islands everyone has been out watching it．Hardly any work is done．
     All are spellbound．
     The Westman Islanders welcome their new neighbour．They hope the eruption will not touch their own town，carrying ash and lava：but they are optimistic．The children have been given a holiday from school to see a sight that will remain in their memories until they are old．
     Scientists are also busy．Some think the island will disappear again．A coastguard has got to within 500 yards of the eruption．Observers aboard said that the island is made of pumice and lava．As it rises and the craters get above sea-level，the eruption gets more like a land borne volcano．
     Icelanders have already begun thinking about its name．Some want to name it after Olafur Thors，who handed in his resignation as Prime Minister on the day the eruption started．
     Others want to name it after Saint Brandan，an Irish monk who was the first to see the ocean burning near Iceland in the fifth century，300 years before the advent of the Vikings．
     Icelandic and foreign ships have been warned not to approach too near this latest eruption as unexpected flood-waves might rise，and rock formations might endanger ships．
     Many fishermen will want to know if the eruption will influence the fishing as this is the chief spawning-place south of Iceland．Time will show if it will harm the fishing industries of the Westman Islands or not，where hundreds of fishing boats are stationed．Travelers of many foreign nations fish these areas，among them the British．
  
  （1）Iceland's newborn island．

  
  A．is the only island in the south of Iceland
  B．is one of the two islands in this area．
  C．has arisen near the Westman Islands
  D．is 25，000 feet above sea level
  （2）Which of the following is true？

  
  A．The newborn island might disappear some day．
  B．The Westman Islanders hate and fear the new creation
  C．The new island had resulted in the resignation of Iceland's Prime Minister．
  D．Settlement of the island has begun．
  （3）Fishermen pay great attention to the eruption because．

  
  A．they fear it may affect their catches
  B．they are like children
  C．they want the island to be named in their honour
  D．Iceland's territorial waters may increase

• 3．Judging from recent surveys，most experts in sleep behavior agree that there is virtually an epidemic of sleepiness in the nation． "I can't think of a single study that hasn't found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to，" says Dr．David．Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest．
     The beginning of our sleep-deficit crisis can be traced to the invention of the light bulb a century ago．From diary entries and other personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries，sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night． "The best sleep habits once were forced on us，when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm，and it was dark．" By the 1950 s and 1960 s，that sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically，to between 7.5 and eight hours，and most people had to wake to an alarm clock． "People cheat on their sleep，and they don't even realize they're doing it，" says Dr．David． "They think they're okey because they can get by on 6.5 hours，when they really need 7.5 ，eight or even more to feel ideally vigorous．"
     Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep，researchers say，is the complexity of the day．Whenever pressures from work，family，friends and community mount，many people consider sleep the least expensive item on his programme． "In our society，you're considered dynamic if you say you only need 5.5 hours' sleep．If you've got to get 8.5 hours，people think you lack drive and ambition．"
     To determine the consequences of sleep deficit，researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance test requiring them，for instance，to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier． "We've found that if you're in sleep deficit，performance suffers，" says Dr．David． "short-term memory is weakened，as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate．"
  
  （1）People in the 18th and 19th centuries used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night because they had

  ．
  A．no electric lighting
  B．no drive and ambition
  C．the best sleep habits
  D．nothing to do in the evening
  （2）According to Dr．David，Americans

  ．
  A．a(chǎn)re ideally vigorous even under the pressure of life
  B．can get by on 6.5 hours of sleep
  C．do not know how to relax themselves properly
  D．often neglect the consequences of sleep deficit
  （3）Many Americans believe that

  ．
  A．they need more sleep to cope with the complexities of everyday life
  B．sleep is the first thing that can be sacrificed when one is busy
  C．to sleep is something one can do at any time of the day
  D．enough sleep promotes people's drive and ambition
  （4）The word "subjects" （Line 1，Para．4）refers to

  ．
  A．the psychological consequences of sleep deficit
  B．special branches of knowledge that are being studied
  C．people whose behavior or reactions are being studied
  D．the performance tests used in the study of sleep deficit
