Many years ago mathematics was my enemy.I was afraid of it and I hated it so much that you could not imagine.

Then came a new teacher to our village.On the first day，he entered the classroom with huge steps，reached the blackboard in a few seconds，and wrote his name on the blackboard.Some letters were in higher places and some were in lower places；some were as big as the board itself and some were so small that we had to open our eyes a lot to see them；some were wide enough，but on the other hand some were too thin.

As he turned around，the class suddenly became still and silent，trying to make_out what it was.As we read his name，we were all smiling，no laughing out loud.Soon we realized that he had a special and lasting sense of humor and we began to learn mathematics in a relaxed and happy mood(心情)．As for my mathematics study，the barriers(障碍)began to turn into pieces，and the fear began to disappear slowly.What was dark and colorless suddenly became exciting，challenging，interesting and above all simply fun.There was some humor added to every sum(算术)and there was fun in every problem.

Thanks to this special teacher，math became the most enjoyable subject to me.

We spend around one third of our lives in bed，and the body does a lot of its repair work as we sleep，so enough good quality sleep is very important to our health.It doesn't stop there，though—some sleep positions are healthier than others.So which sleep position is the healthiest?

Sleeping on your back is the healthiest sleep position，Health benefits include avoiding back and neck pain.Because the head is raised above the stomach when you sleep on your back，this position is best for people who suffer from nighttime acid reflux(胃酸逆流)as well.Around 80% of heartburn(胃灼热)sufferers have problems during the night，so sleeping on their back could help a lot of people to enjoy a good night's sleep.If the sleep position alone is not enough to alleviate the condition，try raising the head of the bed by up to 4 inches by placing blocks under it.

When you sleep on your back，your face is in a natural position.This means less wrinkles(皱纹)．If you really can't face sleeping on your back，another healthy sleep position is the side sleep.It's almost as good as the back position，and it's better for people who snore(打鼾)and their partners.Whichever sleep position you choose，use a pillow that supports the head and the neck without raising the head unnaturally，as this can bring neck pain.

A．Sleep on the side. B．Sleep on the face.

C．Sleep on the back. D．Sleep without pillows.

答案 A [细节理解题。从最后一段“... the side sleep.It's almost as good as the back position，and it's better for people who snore”可知应选A项。]

63．The underlined word“alleviate”in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A．make people enjoy B．make people forget

C．make it less useful D．make it less serious

答案 D [猜测词义题。从前半句“If the sleep position alone is not enough ...”及后面的“try raising the head of the bed by up to 4 inches”可推知，如果只这样做还不够(不能缓解不适症状)，则可以采取后来提出的办法。故选D项。]

64．What does the text mainly talk about?

B．The importance of sleep.

C．Healthy positions of sleep.

Many people have tried to simplify(简化)the spelling of English words.Unlike other languages，English sometimes spells the same sounds in very different ways.For example，there is “light”but “white”，“loan”but “phone”，and there are at least seven different ways of pronouncing “ough”：“though”，“through”，“bough”，“cough”，“enough”，“ought” and “thorough”．The American President Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in simplifying English spelling.In 1906，Andrew Carnegie started the Simplified Spelling Board.He was one of the richest men in the United States of America.The board's plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sound.For example，the word “though” would be spelt “tho” and “through” would become “thru”．Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey，the head of the New York libraries，and Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University.They explained their idea to President Roosevelt，who thought that it was indeed logical.He immediately asked the government printer to use simplified spelling in all government letters.

But people didn't like the change，even if it made life easier.So the new simpler spelling was not popular.More importantly，when the American politicians(政客)discussed the plan，they did not like it either.Because Roosevelt did not want to have any problems with the politicians，he changed his mind and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.

Since then no one in any government has dared to simplify English spelling.However，people do

simplify some words，mainly in advertisements.For example，we often see “tonite” instead of “tonight”and “thru” instead of “through”．

There are only 24 hours in a day，but people can use the time wisely.In other words，good time management(管理) is important if you want to succeed.

Knowing the importance of daily matters is the first step towards good time management.Write down

the things that you want to do and organise them according to their level of importance.The important thing should be done first. If there are too many things that have to be done in one day，then you have to give up doing something that is less important on your list.

Besides this，you need to spend a specific(特定的)amount of time doing all the activities you have written down and make sure you finish them on time.People often slow down in their work even though they know that time will never wait for them.Make sure you keep to your plan and finish the tasks one by one.Do not try to do too many things at once.

Also，you can group similar activities together and do them one by one.For example，you can group all the tasks you need to do in the office together and do them while you're in office.Do all the tasks that have to be done in one place first，and then move to the next place to do the other tasks.

“The bad news is that time flies.The good news is that you're the pilot，”said Michael Althsuler.Your future is in your hands，so remember to invest(投资)your time wisely from today on.
