For many years, I believed that all my sufferings came from my ever size body. I even

thought that if I were thinner, all the problems might disappear.

Many weight-conscious people mistakenly believe that changing their bodies will fix

everything. Perhaps their worst mistake is believing that being thin is the same to being loved,

being special, and being cherished（被珍惜）. They dream every day about what will happen

when they get to the right size. They work very hard to realize this dream. Then, one day, they

finally get to their goal. However, they may find that things are not changed, and problems are

still there, which may disappoint them even more.

It took me a long time to find out that there was something more for me to learn about

beauty. Beauty standards（标准）are different among countries. In Samoa, a woman is not

considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if we want

happiness, why not put our energy there instead of on the size of our body? Why not look

inside? We have to find a way to live comfortable inside our body and make friends with and

cherish ourselves. When we change our attitude （态度） towards ourselves, the whole world

changes.

When US student Olivia Priedeman, 17, woke up one morning, she thought she had had a

dream about making plans with a friend. But it wasn't a dream. Her phone showed that during

the night, Priedeman had read a text message from her friend. She did it while she was deeply

asleep.

Reading and sending text messages while being asleep—called "sleep texting （发短信）”

一is an unusual sleep behaviour, similar to sleep walking. It's also a growing concern （关心的

事） among doctors: young people can't live without their cell phones.

One in three teenagers sends more than 100 text messages a day, according to the Pew

Internet & American Life Project. And at least four out of five teenagers said they sleep with

their phoned on or near their bed.

Elizabeth Dow dell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, has studied

sleeping texting. She said that having a phone nearby all night is a big part of the problem.

Andrew Stiehm, a sleep medicine expert with All in a Health in Minnesota, agreed. It's

possible for the part of the brain that controls motor skills to wake up, while the part of the brain

that controls memory and judgment may be still asleep. That's why some people can perform

basic movements—such as walking, talking, texting or even driving—while they're sleeping.

5

Some of Dowdell's students said that they're disturbed （困扰） by their nighttime texting

behaviour. But because sleep texting is unconscious, it's a difficult habit to break.

Dow dell said that some students even wear socks on their hands to keep themselves from

texting.

Marjorie Hog an, a doctor at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota,

suggests that keeping all electronic device （电子产品） outside the bedroom at bed time may

do help.

A.

B.

C.

D.

What happened to Olivia Priedeman?

She sleep walked to a friend's house.

She dreamed of making plans with a friend.

She called one of her friends during the night.

She read a text message from her friend while being asleep.

（1）

A.

B.

C.

D.

According to the experts, why can some people keep moving while they are sleeping?

Because they are cleverer than the others.

Because they can't live without their cell phoned.

Because they sleep with their phoned on or near their bed.

Because some part of the brain still wakes up.

（2）

A. 不主动的 B. 无意识的 C. 无动于衷的 D. 没有规律的

What does the underlined word "unconscious" mean?（3）

A.

B.

C.

D.

Doctor Hogan suggests people who sleep text .

stop texting during the night time

take some medicine to control the behaviour

keep their phones out of their bedrooms while they are sleeping

wear socks on their hands to stop themselves from sending text messages

（4）

A.

B.

C.

D.

We can learn from the passage that .

it is easy to give up a sleep texting habit

one in three teenagers has sleep texting behaviour

four out of five teenagers send 100 text messages a day

having a phone nearby all night is a reason of sleep texting behaviour

teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the

bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. 4 Since

mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more

chances to face what is still unknown. And that's why I myself have more questions than you

do. 5 You will never learn enough, you know. "

Out of the circle is what is still unknown to us.

With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circle, one as large as a big cake, the other

smaller. .

The more you learn, the more questions you have.

The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great

patience.

Didn't you say you yourself have many, many more questions about things than we do?
