阅读理解

    Experts(专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours' sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students " early birds" in China, he has to get up before six every morning.

     A report shows that without a good night's sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.

    Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.

A、he didn't have enough sleep B、it wasn't time for him to get up C、he didn't want to go to school D、he wanted his mother to wake him up
(2)、In this passage we know if students don't get enough sleep, they may ________.

 Read the passage and finish the exercises.

"Color, color, color!"are the words of artist Eric Carle. Eric is like the king in the world of children's books. He has written over 70 children's books. His most famous book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is common on children's bookshelves all over the world. What most people don't know is that Eric also makes art for adults, which is called"ArtArt". People didn't know about it,because he didn't show it to the public until he was 84 years old!

Like Eric's children's books, his"ArtArt"is full of bright and clear color.He says that he loves color so much because he missed it during the war in Germany. Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6. When he was 10, World War II began. He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted gray, brown or dark green. It was a sad time, and it seemed like there was no color anywhere.

At the end of the war,"When color came back,"Eric explains,"I just loved it so much. I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more colors. Color is a very important part of my work."

That's true. Eric paints bright colors on paper, cuts out shapes, and then glues them onto another piece of paper. This method is called collage(拼贴画).In fact, it is what led Eric to his"ArtArt".

Eric's"ArtArt"includes large collages as well as paintings, photographs and even costumes. In all these works, he uses all kinds of colors —— everything from purple to light green to orange. Now that's a lot of color!

Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is to return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live in.

Smart homes have been around for some time. A company called Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. As the curliest smart home technology, it allows household devices (家用设备),such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves.

Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes much more complicated (复杂的) than X10. Perhaps the most popular smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant. Users are allowed to communicate with almost any device in their homes simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for children and people with disabilities, as the devices can help them finish tasks that would normally be too difficult.

Common household devices can become "smart as well. For example, smart fridges can create dinner recipes with the vegetables that are being kept inside.

But smart homes are not just about convenience. They are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy use and automatically (自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you' re using, smart homes can lower much electricity you use. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources (自然资源),which is good for the environment.
