福建省三明市第一中学2018-2019学年高一上学期英语期中考试试卷
As is often the case, you are trying hard to keep your eyes open in class after a late night doing piles and piles of homework, "" You are probably thinking, " This weekend I'll make up for all the sleep I have lost."
Most people think the same way-if you stay in bed longer on Saturdays or Sundays, you will recover your missed sleep during the week.
However, this is not correct. Actually, researchers have just discovered that sleeping during the weekend will not do you any good, but rather make you feel more tired on Monday morning.
Our body keeps a clock inside. It tells us when to wake up in the morning and when to feel sleepy at night. But the time on our body clock can be changed once we start taking on different sleeping habits. This may mean on Monday morning we sometimes struggle to get out of bed.
If we decide to get up only 20 minutes or half an hour later, it won't matter. This is because our body clock can accommodate(顺应) a delay of up to an hour, which means that a short lie-in at weekends is unlikely to have any big effect, we needn't worry about it at all.
So, what should we do to balance and make up for all the sleep we've missed? Scientists say that simply eight hours of sleep would do the trick, not any longer.
A. You are not alone.
B. I need more sleep!
C. Sleep is important for everyone.
D. Sleeping is nothing like paying back money.
E. However, if we sleep longer our sleep becomes less efficient.
F. But delays of up to two hours or more can throw our body out of order.
G. This is why staying in bed for longer than usual might confuse our body clock.
Lots of people stress out about talking in front of the class or getting laughed at if they make a mistake in front of an audience. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} The “stress hormones" that your body produces at times like these can actually help you focus.
But when worry and stress about performing get to be too much, these hormones give people that “red alert(紧急状态)” feeling—the one that causes you to feel cold or sweaty, or get butterflies in your stomach. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Be prepared. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Rehearse(排练) as much as you can and practice in front of others at every opportunity. Most of all, think positively. Tell yourself “I'll be OK" or “I can do this" even if you are not 100% sure of it

Summer is the perfect time to relax. As you plan for your trip, here are some tips on how to protect yourself. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.
Fight against the mosquitoes in the hot spots.
There are many mosquito-borne illnesses in tropical regions, which are traditionally vacation hot spots. Therefore, mosquito repellent (驱蚊剂) that contains DEET should be an essential item in your travel bag.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}.
In lesser-developed countries there is less equipment for clean water and public health. If you can't avoid unhealthful water, make sure you bring along a tea or coffee—making pot that will boil water for you. You'd better buy a case or two of water and check that all bottle caps are sealed to assure the bottled water isn't just a refilled bottle of dirty tap water.
Always protect your feet.
It's best to wear slippers in the shower, but if you must be barefoot, put a towel down on the floor. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. You should never walk barefoot in any area of a foreign country, including your hotel room.
Be sure to eat safe fruits.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. They may have been washed in the same water, or wiped with the same rag used to clean work surfaces in kitchens. The best advice is to bring your own peeler（削皮器）so that you know that something clean has been applied to the fruit.
Enjoy the smell of roadside stands, not the food.
Unless the food is piping hot when served, it's best to stay away from roadside stands, no matter how good the smell of the food might be. If you are concerned about whether a restaurant is clean, order the food to go. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.
