By the time we got home and he had a quick dinner and shower, it was 10:30 - an hour and a half later than a child who gets up at 6:30 should be going to bed. We love baseball. My son is having tun,

20、 getting exercise, and learning patience, teamwork and sports spirit. But the truth is that the game also influences his sleep.As parents, we want good things for our children. We want them to be healthy both in body and in mind. To this end, we look for ways to help our kids grow and develop. We he

21、lp them with their homework. We send them to all kinds of classes - dance, soccer and baseball. We encourage our kids to take honors courses (培優(yōu)課程) or to have after-school jobs. And we praise them for hard-earned success and achievementsHowever, the ironic thing is that all of these activities and r

22、esponsibilities that we are giving our children to make their lives colorful could be badly influencing their health and taking happiness away. Activities, responsibilities, and goals are good. But if we want our kids to realize their full physical, learning and social ability, sleep is important We

23、 have to start taking sleep seriously.Parents make bedtime routines and carry out strict rules about nighttime. But in fact, these measures (措施) arent enough because getting our kids enough sleep isnt just about carrying out (實行) stricter bedtime. It actually requires more than that. In order to ens

24、ure our kids get the sleep they need, both parents and schools should make an effort.46.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A.

28、hing that you notice when passing your favorite restaurant? The smell of fresh pizza? Or the sight of your favorite desserts? Food that looks and smells good will probably taste good, but what about sound?Scientists now believe that the taste of food can change when you hear different sounds, but it

29、 has to be the right sound. When you mm on a microwave with popcorn in it, it soon starts to pop. Do you think “That sounds tasty!”? Not really, you probably think its nearly ready. But when you smell it, you know it is delicious. Hearing the popcorn makes you think about it, but smelling it tells y

30、ou that it tastes good. So what are the sounds to change the tastes of the things?In an experiment in a fish restaurant, customers listened to the sound of the seaside while eating.

31、ltier. When the restaurant tried the same experiment with the sound of the farm animals, there was no difference in taste. The results are useful for restaurants. Perhaps they will use fewer unhealthy things like sugar and salt in food. With the right music or sounds, we wont taste the difference.Re

32、staurants are also setting a connection between food and the sound that the packet makes. Pick up a packet (包裝袋) of potato chips, what does it sound like? Experiments show that the packet making a right sound will make customers think the potato chips are fresher So one restaurant recently changed t

33、he material that they used to make their potato chip packets. Another idea is that a list of music will begin to appear on food packets, so if you dont like your green vegetables, the right music or sounds could help you learn to love them.51.What can NOT attract people to enter a restaurant accordi

Different sounds can change the taste of food.B. The popping sound of popcorn means tasty popcorn.C. With delicious smell, you know you can ea

39、ven houses can be insulated (使絕緣的) from heat or cold with paper.However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. 58. _ Every day people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city.

40、 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.59. _ We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper.
