20、 finish a math test first and get the best score in the class. How can one person be so good at so much? However,Peter is not good at one thing. He is not good at being a goodsport. No matter what Peter does well,he makes sure everyone knows aboutit. He is also quick to make unkind comments about ot
21、her kids mistakes. Davidand Andys one wish is that Peter learns to be humble. Not many people tell Peter what a good job he does,or congratulate him onhis achievements,because Peter has already talked about them to everyone tooproudly. He does not give anyone a chance to learn about anything he has
22、done.David and Andy wish Peter could be more like Jack. Jack is the new kid in class this year. He does not talk much, but he is verygood at many sports and is also super smart.

26、eir alarms ring in the morning. This first thought is usually followed by hitting the snooze button(小睡催醒按钮)and falling back asleep for a few more moments. Hitting the snooze button has become a habit for millions of people, but it is time to examine this habit and develop new habits for feelingmore
27、rested during the day. Though hitting the snooze button allows people a few more minutes ofsleep, it causes unhealthy sleep patterns(模式)Most people think if theyare tired when they first wake up,they need more sleep. However,theyare mistaken when they conclude that any sleep is good sleep. Sleeping
28、is aprocess with different cycles. To feel fully rested,the body must gothrough all the sleep cycles. Falling back asleep after hitting the snoozebutton restarts the process,but when the alarm rings again several minuteslater,the process is interrupted. The body has not gone through all the cycles,a
29、nd this can cause the body to feel sleepy for the rest of the day. This sleepinesscan affect memory,the ability to make choices,and performance at work orschool. Sleepiness may also happen if the bodys biological rhythm(规律)is interrupted.People normally fall asleep at night and wake up in the mornin
30、g becausetheir rhythms are operating naturally. The rhythms are affected by repeateduse of the snooze button,which can cause feelings of sleepiness during theday and an inability to fall asleep at night. Rather than depending on the snooze button,people need to considerdeveloping different routines.
31、 The easiest choice is to put the alarm on the otherside of the room. Having to get out of bed to turn it off decreases the possibilityof hitting the snooze button. Another choice,if your routine allows it,is to justreset the alarm. Setting your alarm for 30 minutes later will make the wholesleep pr
32、ocess longer instead of always restarting it. However,it must bestressed that getting up 30 minutes later in the morning is not an excuse to stayup 30 minutes later the night before. Though a few extra minutes of sleep may seem to promise a better start tothe day,hitting that snooze button creates a
33、n unhealthy sleep pattern.27. The second paragraph is mainly about A. what unhealthy sleep patterns most people have B. what people should do to feel fully rested in the day time C. why people feel like going back to sleep after first waking up D. why a few minutes of sleep after first waking up cau
34、ses bad effects28. What can we learn from the passage? A. Hitting the snooze button helps people fall asleep at night. B. People wake up because their biological rhythms are interrupted. C. Getting up several minutes later helps people feel more energetic. D. Putting the alarm a bit far from the bed
35、 helps form healthy sleep habits.29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Dont Wake Up Late! B. Dont Use Alarm Clocks! C. Dont Touch That Button! D. Dont Change Sleep Patterns! D I recently spent an evening trying to choose a cup on Amazon. Nearly anhour later,after hav
36、ing read countless reviews about dozens of kinds,I felttired and simply gave up. The next day,I happily bought the only kind the localstore offered. Too many choices make us tired and unhappy and lead us to sometimes avoidmaking a decision. Researcher Barry Schwartz calls this“choice overloadAs the
37、number of options可选择的事物)increases, the costs in time andeffort of collecting the information needed to make a good choice also increase,”writes Schwartz.“The level of certainty people have about their choice decreases.And the possibility that they will regret their choice increases.” Understanding h
38、ow and why we make decisions can perhaps help us make betterchoices. We make poorer decisions when we are tired. The mind can only deal withso many options and make so many choices before it starts to lose energy. Thats whybuys like candy bars and magazines at the checkout(付款处)in the store can be ha
39、rdto resist, Weve used up all our good decision7making skills. The same goes for our workday. Making lots of decisions not only tires us, itcan put us in a bad mood. Thats why its important to make your most importantdecisions in the morning rather than at the end of a tiring day. When were tired,we
40、 often save our energy by making choices based on asingle factor(因素)like price, rather than considering all the other factors thatgo into making the best decision. Another study out of Columbia Universityshows that this happens when people are given a lot of features(特点)to choosefrom when buying a c
41、ar. After a while,people start asking for the commonoption rather than carefully weighing each decision. This can also happen when faced with a decision in your creative work.Given endless options of which route to take,we sometimes end up going withthe more usual path simply because its the easier
42、way to go. So its importantto put limits on your options,which can develop your creativity and help youmake a better decision. In other words,letting yourself have fewer options to choose from can helpyou arrive at a more creative answer.30. According to Barry Schwartz,the more options people have,
43、A. the better choice they will make B. the more easily they will make a choice C. the happier they will feel to make a choice D. the more likely they will regret their choice31The word resist in Paragraph 3 probably means A. explain B. avoid C. decide D. afford32.
