1．Are you looking for a young adult novel？If you're，here are some good choices for you．
The Harry Potter Series
If you're a grown-up and still haven't read the Harry Potter novels，you don't know what you're missing．J．K．Rowling's tale of the English boy wizard shouldn't be missed．As he grows into a confident teen，Harry struggles with the same issues all peers （同齡人） face：the pressure to fit in，anxiety and stress over grades and homework．
His Dark Materials
Adults will find this award-winning trilogy （三部曲） fascinating as they follow the adventures of Lyra and Will，two children who travel through the universe that is quite different from our own．Even though it9s targeted at children，the series' complex themes related to morality，identity，and fate will attract readers of every age．
Roll of Thunder，Hear My Cry
As the second in a series of four books about the Logan family，this novel follows the leading role，Cassie Logan，a 9-year-old girl and her family．They struggle to keep their land while fighting against varying degrees of racism from the white townspeople．Cassie is both brave and innocent；hence，adults can benefit from Cassie's perspective on what it's like to be a child living in a racially oppressed environment．
The Hunger Games Trilogy
If you have a young reader in your house，chances are that you've heard of The Hunger Games．This trilogy by Suzanne Collins is set in the
post-apocalyptic （后末世）country of Panem，where children are selected annually to participate in a televised，fight-to-the-death battle called The Hunger Games．The rebellion （反抗）inspired by the sharp and spirited hero，Katniss Everdeen，will attract readers of all ages．

2．Chris Home has written an article about his experience of the 11 plus system．He failed the exam，but then went on to prove that his actual academic abilities were very strong and not honestly reflected by the cruel 11 plus system．Pass the 11 plus and you are likely to go to a Grammar School；fail and you go to a Secondary School．He argues that most people who have failed the 11 plus found it very hard to appeal against the failure since they would be ignored by the Grammar Schools who had plenty of pupils who had passed to choose from．If you did not perform well on the day，that was it!
There is a claim that Grammar Schools increase social mobility （社會階層的變動）-I would guess that it is an argument most often put forward by those who went to Grammar Schools．Social mobility means that even if you are born poor，you can still get into Grammar Schools like wealthy children．However，it is not so．
The Sutton Trust published 2013 research that shows less than 3% of pupils at Grammar Schools are on free school meals-free school meals is a measure to judge social mobility．This indicates that if you are from a poor family，you are far less likely to get into a Grammar School and that there is little evidence of actual social mobility in Grammar School areas．
Big surprise-I didn't pass the 11 plus．I went to a failing secondary school in Bedale North Yorkshire-a school full of failing pupils．Judged by the latest Ofsted Report，it needs"improvement"．I went onto taking evening classes and passed GCSE's at O and A level and eventually a 2.1 B．Sc in Psychology with the OU．I am not an academic genius but not the"write off"suggested by the 11 plus exam system．
What the 11 plus system means to me is that we didn't care enough about our young people and their futures because we were prepared to select a few on the basis of a life-changing exam on one day and to ignore the rest．
（1）What does passing the 11 plus exam mean？
A．Proving the strong academic abilities of students．
B．Being admitted into a Grammar School．
C．Having a chance to enter a Grammar school．
D．Fighting against failures easily．
（2）What does Chris Honie want to show about the 11 plus exam in his article？
A．It's too difficult．
B．It's not fair to all students．
C．It has a long history．
D．It's not that important．
（3）What's the author's attitude toward that Grammar Schools'increasing social mobility？
A．Doubtful．
B．Hopeful．
C．Concerned．
D．Approving．
（4）What does the author's own story tell us？
A．Failing to pass the 11 plus exam is a disaster．
B．One can succeed as long as he tries hard enough．
C．Failing the 11 plus means you've to try much harder．
D．Failing the 11 plus doesn't always mean poor academic abilities．組卷：28引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．If you want to skip the misery （痛苦） that comes with fighting a seasonal cold or flu，a new research explains why sleep is some of the best preventive medicine．We already knew that not getting enough sleep can lead to an increased risk of getting sick，but Nathaniel Watson，a neurologist and sleep specialist at the University of Washington School of Medicine，said this new research helps explain why．
Sleeping poorly can block specific genetic processes in the cells that make up your immune system，which is responsible for fighting off infections and diseases，according to the new study．"Your immune system is not functioning the way it was meant to when you are deprived of sleep，"Watson said．This study is the first one that Watson and his colleagues are aware of that looks at what happens to the immune system's DNA when you're not getting adequate sleep．
The researchers followed 11 pairs of identical twins for the study．One twin reported sleeping at least seven hours per night，while the other slept approximately one hour less per night．Looking at identical twins helped control the fact that sleep needs vary by person，Watson explained．Genes account for about 50 percent of our sleep needs，meaning identical twins are the best-case scenario （方案） for getting a good comparison．
The researchers took blood samples at the end of the study，which revealed that the immune system of the twin who slept less was less active than the twin who slept more．Those who slept less were actually making fewer proteins，the molecules that our bodies run on．"They had an under-performing immune system，"Watson said of the shorter sleepers，"which would put them at higher risk of getting sick．"
To control other potential factors that could affect sleep need and immune health，the researchers excluded people from the study who had diabetes，depression or other mental health problems and sleep disorders．They also left out shift workers，smokers，drug users and drinkers．
（1）What do the underlined words in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Change sleep pattern．
B．Benefit from sleep．
C．Have to sleep．
D．Lack sleep．
（2）Why did the researchers choose identical twins for the study？
A．To find participants more easily．
B．To make the results more accurate．
C．To make the study more interesting．
D．To show sleep needs vary by person．
（3）What does the author most probably want to show in the last paragraph？
A．Many factors can lead to sleep disorder．
B．The findings of the study can be reliable．
C．Poor sleep could lead to many problems．
D．The findings of the study remain to be tested．組卷：33引用：1難度：0.5
