Many hotels do not have a 13th floor. The floors go from 12 to 14, and there is no number 13. Some people will never sit at a table with 12 other people. They will tell someone to go or ask another person to sit with them. No one really knows why people do not like the number 13. Perhaps one reason is that when people began to count they used ten fingers and two hands. This made 12. They could not count more. Some Christians (基督徒) say that 13 is not lucky because there were 13 people at a meal the day before Jesus (耶穌) was killed (被殺). In a story about the old Greek (希臘的) gods, 12 gods were asked to a meal but one more came. This made 13. It is why the god Balder, who was at the meal, was killed. 26 . There is often no floor number 13 in___________ . A．Restaurants B．countries C．hotels D．Greece 27 . One way people can count is by using their __________. A．fingers B．hotels C．tables D．gods 28 .

A．the death of Jesus B．the person who killed Balder C．the way people count with their fingers D．why 13 is not a lucky number For a long time, scientists have said that teenagers should not start school before 8 in the morning. They said it is bad for teens’ health and their grades. More schools around the country are starting to listen. Some of those schools are in Seattle. They will start school at 8:45 in the morning. Last year, a big group of doctors which is made up of pediatricians (兒科醫(yī)師) said starting later is a good idea. They said it can improve students’ lives in many ways. Teenagers often fall asleep later than their parents would like. Scientists say that if they start school later, they will get more sleep. They may also do better in school and feel better. “We’re going to look back on this time period and wonder why it took so long,” said Phyllis Payne who works with a group called Start School Later. Some schools in St Paul cannot change start times because they do not have enough money. If they did, the city would have to provide more buses and drivers. This would cost millions of dollars. In Seattle, school leaders decided to let teenagers start school later. At first, they also said younger kids had to start earlier. Neither the parents of younger kids nor those of older kids like that school would start later. They were afraid this would get in the way of after-school activities. Seattle finally carried out a plan to start time later for teens. It happened because school leaders listened to what parents had to say. The final plan was more expensive but also more popular, said Cindy Jatul. In the city of Chicago, the school district tried to make start times later for teens. The plan failed because school leaders did not listen to parents. “It backfired (事與愿違) terribly,” Jatul said. Seattle was more successful because the city listened to parents. Bridget Shelton is a freshman at Seattle’s Roosevelt High School. She thinks the change in start times will help her get more sleep. Katie Benmar is a sophomore (二年級學(xué)生). She is not happy about the later start time. She thinks her life will just move around. 31 . In Paragraph 1, which of the following sentences is true? A．Scientists have said that teenagers should start school later recently. B．Some schools can’t change start times because of the shortage of money. C．Some of the schools in Seattle are starting to later the time. D．Scientists said starting school earlier is nothing bad for teens’ grades. 32 . Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that ________. A．Doctors believe that it’s healthy for teenagers to fall asleep later than their parents. B．Doctors say that when teens sleep more, their grades often improve. C．Doctors think that starting times later will improve kids’ lives. D．Doctors want schools to start later, but most schools say it is too expensive. 33 . According to the passage, ________ gives the opinion against the later start times? A．Cindy Jatul B．Bridget Shelton C．Phyllis Payne D．Katie Benmar 34 . The description of paragraph 4 is used to ________. A．give a main idea and details about start times in one city. B．compare similar events in two different cities. C．talk about the causes of later start times. D．show a timeline of events in two different cities. 35 . From the passage, we can learn that ________. A．The plan in Seattle was more expensive but successful because the city listened to leaders. B．Some schools in St Paul cannot change start times because they can’t afford to do so. C．Neither the parents of younger kids nor those of older kids like that school would start earlier. D．Scientists say students in Chicago may not do better in school even if they start school later. 三、填空 請認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中第 71～80 小題的空格里填入一個最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。注意：每個空格只填 1．個．單．詞．。 What will you eat for lunch today?
