E-reading and e-books are slowly conquering the world. Compared to traditional paper books, e-books in some schools and universities attract more interest because the information flow seems much easier to manage and comes in a greatly higher quantity.

Japan is known for the reform-minded attitude towards the gadget(精巧裝置)world and for the fact that it is one of the first countries that encouraged in the educational system the emailing of homework.

The digital textbook looks like the logical step in the world of learning. It is natural but it is also completely untraditional.

The plan of the largest publishing companies to get in line with the trend is to save a large quantity of paper and make the kids become interested in learning using a cool gadget. Many USA universities and colleges have made students be used to the procedure of downloading the courses and of course the procedure involves interactive software and also the chance of using the computer.

The traditional education system is still unwilling when it comes to giving up books. The standard approach of information taught out of a book and Shakespeare read out of an old school novel makes studying English as traditional as it can be.

In a world where kids would rather see the movie than read a book, the digital age has brought along a completely different flavor to reading. Bringing that flavor in school will make teaching a greener and also a completely different matter.

1.Why are e-books so popular in the world?

A. It’s cheap to buy.

B. It’s effective to use.

C. It’s convenient to bring.

D. It’s the latest fashion.

2.Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “reform-minded” in the second paragraph?

A. Old-fashioned. B. Aggressive.

C. Rejecting. D. Progressive.

3.In America, the students are encouraged to .

A. apply the procedure of downloading the courses

B. communicate with their teachers using computers

C. research some interactive software for their studies

D. do their homework in computer instead of in paper

4.What’s the author’s attitude to the digital textbooks?

A. Being against. B. Being for.

C. Not mentioned. D. Being neutral.

Tricks to Learn from Super Sleepers

Do you want to sleep soundly each night and wake up energized the next day?

Exercise early.

Morning fitness class（健身班） or gym time before work? Go ahead, give it a try. 1.________ While experts aren’t exactly sure why, it could have something to do with morning exercise’s ability to help regulate the secretion(分泌物) of certain hormones（荷爾蒙） involved in blood pressure management, which may lead to better sleep.

Eat light at night.

Desiring a midnight snack? If your stomach starts rumbling(發(fā)出咕嚕聲) before bed, try reaching for good-for-you foods that actually promote sleep, like walnuts, tart cherries, or Greek yogurt instead. 2._________ Eating too much of anything within a few hours of going to bed could suppress(抑制) your body’s ability to produce sleep-promoting melatonin.

Power down at night.

Smart phones, tablets, and laptops let you do everything from shopping to watching movies to working in bed. What they don’t let you do? Fall asleep. 3._________ . In addition to reducing your blue light exposure, you’ll probably feel less stressed, which in itself can help you sleep better.

Keep their rooms cool

4._________ But being too warm can make it harder to have quality sleep, say experts at the National Sleep Foundation. Instead, they recommend keeping your bedroom at around 20℃,which research suggests is the most suitable temperature for great sleep.

5._________

Consistency（一致性） is key to healthy sleep. Though for some it’s usual to stay up late, then get up early for work and sleep late on the weekends, doing so can cause damage to your body’s internal clock. Over time, that can make it harder to fall asleep, not to mention making it more unpleasant to wake up in the morning.

A. The idea of a comfortable bedroom and piles of soft, fuzzy（毛茸茸的）blankets is very appealing.

B. Find ways to deal with stress.

C. Go to bed at the same time every night.

D. However, try not to overeat even it is the healthy food.

E. You don’t have to give up alcohol altogether in the name of better sleep.

F. Exercising in the morning could lead to better sleep than afternoon or evening sweat sessions.

G. Put your devices away at night—ideally, two to three hours before you plan to go to sleep.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015-2016學年廣西桂林第十八中學高一下期中英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

My parents knew their wealth: each other, their six children, and their faith. They tried to live simple lives so that they could have time for what was most important.

They didn’t busy themselves buying a bigger house, because that would mean working harder to pay the monthly mortgage(按揭貸款), working overtime or taking a second job. Who would go running with me then? Who would read stories to me?

They didn’t burden themselves with buying an expensive car because that would mean worrying about installment(分期付款) bills. Besides, walking to the shopping centre every Saturday afternoon with me gave my dad his needed exercise, and made me feel so special.

One of my heart’s delights was seeing Dad and Mom in their bedroom at night, after our nightly family prayer. The lights were turned off, and I’d see the figure of my father seated on his old chair and Mom standing behind him, gently massaging his shoulders. I’d hear them talk about what happened during their day. Even as a child, I sensed their quiet pleasure in being together.

My question today: Could they have done this rich practice each night and nourished(滋潤) their marriage if they had been busy paying for expensive clothes for themselves or their kids, or if they had been worrying about monthly bills for new hi-tech equipment? I don’t think so. And I’ve made a choice: I don’t want that of life either.
