请认真阅读下面短文,填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A king felt neither happy nor comfortable all day. One day, the king saw a servant who was singing happily while 1. (work). He asked the servant, "Why are you so happy?" The man replied, "I'm just a servant. 2. my family and I don't need too much—just a house and food."
The king wasn't happy with the reply. He told it 3. an adviser. After hearing the story, the adviser said, "The servant hasn't joined a 99 Club." "What's the 99 Club?" the king asked. The adviser 4. (answer), "To understand the 99 Club, put 99 gold coins in a bag and leave it near the 5. (servant) house."
The bag of gold coins made the servant excited. After counting several 6. (time), he thought there must be the 100th coin. He decided to work much 7. (hard) to earn the 100th gold coin. From that day on, he stopped 8. (sing) while working and became angry easily. The adviser told the king, "The servant has joined the 99 Club. The club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy 9. are never content, because they always want more." We can be happy, but we want more! We lose our 10. (happy), sleep, peace and so on for our growing needs and desires. That's the "99 Club".

1. working 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处为while的省略结构，省略了从句的主语与be动词，servant与work之间为主动关系，故填working。
2. Both 考查固定搭配。“both ... and ...”意为“……和……都”，为固定搭配。句首单词首字母要大写。
3. to 考查介词。tell sth. to sb.意为“告诉某人某事”。
4. answered 考查时态。由上文中的asked可知，这里也用一般过去时。
5. servant's 考查名词所有格。此处表示这个仆人的房子，因此用名词所有格。
6. times 考查名词的数。当time表次数时，为可数名词；由空前的several可知，此处应用复数。
7. harder 考查比较级。由much可知，此处应用比较级。
8. singing 考查非谓语动词。stop doing sth.意为“停止做某事”。
9. but 考查连词。have enough to be happy与are never content之间为转折关系，故填but。
10. happiness 考查名词。空处作lose的宾语，应用名词。happy的名词形式为happiness。
本文通过国王和仆人的故事告诉我们“知足常乐”的道理。

请认真阅读下面短文,用英语回答短文后的问题。
Whether you have a few weeks of summer left or your new school year has recently begun, you can put some plans in place that will set you up for your best year yet. Here are some helpful tips on how to get you excited about what is coming next.
Set yourself up for homework success
Take a few minutes to check on your homework space. Is it comfortable and well lit? Can you easily reach your charger(充电器) and pencil sharpener? Give it a test run with any summer work
you have left. That way, if you need to make changes—like moving a lamp or adjusting your chair—you can do so now. Also, think about what time will work best for you to do homework during the school year.
Be smart about your supplies
First, check your school's website to find the list of supplies your teacher wants you to have. Before buying new supplies, collect any pencils, pens, and erasers from last year. You might already have some notebooks and rulers at home.
Slowly change your sleeping habits
If you are going to bed late and waking up late, you need to start a normal sleep schedule again. Change your habits little by little. The week before school starts, change your sleep time slowly. Each day, try to go to bed and wake up 30 minutes earlier. Keep doing this until you are getting enough sleep (like 8-10 hours) and can wake up on time for school.
1. Why do we need to make plans before the new school year?

2. How can we change our sleeping habits?

3. Which of the above suggestions do you think is the most useful? Why?

1. To set ourselves up for the best year.
2. We can try to go to bed and wake up 30 minutes earlier each day.
3. The third one. Because our sleeping habits are not good during the vacations and changing them can help us keep active in the new school year.（言之有理即可）
