It causes a person to bee sleepy by lowering his body’s core temperature. In teens, melatonin is secreted much later in the evening and continues to increase throughout the night. This makes it difficult for teens to fall asleep earlier as they did in their younger years. Likewise, the effect of melatonin continues until much later in the morning, making it hard for them to wake up early. A study found that at least one in four teens is tired and falls asleep in school at least once a week. During sleep, important body functions and brain activities happen. So how can teenagers get their sleep enough? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) remends that middle and high schools should start later — not before 8： 30 am. This should give teens some more time to sleep at night. 21. From Paragraph 2, we can learn that if you sleep late, the next day you should ________. A. stay sharp B. skip breakfast C. get up late D. stay up late 22. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The students want to stay up. B. The shifts of the sleep cycle. C. The pineal gland secretes melatonin. D. The adolescents sleep late. 23. The teens go to sleep later than before because ________. A. melatonin is secreted much later B. melatonin regulates the sleep time C. they sleep a lot in the daytime D. they need to finish their homework 24. According to AAP’s remendation, middle and high schools should ________. A. let teens sleep in the day B. let the students be active C. delay the start time D. start later at 8 am B “Image is everything.” If there is no fact behind the image, the product, service or person will fail at last. First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services. But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back. For example, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness. But the recent scandal (丑聞 ) showed that behind that image, it had dishonest business practices. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm. Similarly, people especially politicians and movie stars try to ensure they are seen in all the right places which can build up a very positive image in the view of the general mons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance(本質(zhì) ) behind the image, failure is close. To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the selling of a person. But image is only half of the equation. What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself—the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for longterm success. 25. The downfall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due to ______. A. its dishonesty in business B. its previous images C. its bad management D. its poor service 26. Why did some famous people fall from grace? A. Their images were not well built up. B. They failed to live up to their images. C. They felt much pressure from the public. D. They paid little attention to fame and fortune. 27. The structure of the passage is . A. B. C. D. C New rules will let millions of Americans know where most of their food es from. The law is known as COOL Country of Origin Labeling(標簽 ). American congress first passed the law in 2020. Stores have had to label seafood by country of origin since 2020. But industry pressure delayed other requirements until last week. Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds of nuts. But the rules are plex, and many foods are not included. For example, an meats are free to be labeled. So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked foods. The same food may sometimes have to be labeled and other times not. Fresh or frozen peas, for example, have to be labeled but not canned peas. Foods that are mixed with other foods are also excluded. Mixed nuts, for example, do not need to be labeled. The same is true of a salad mix that contains different things like lettuce and ca
