Maybe you have to get up early for school, but research shows that poor sleep can bring many problems. So should schools start earlier or later? We asked some readers for their opinions.
Ahava thinks schools should start later. Here are her reasons: First, as teenagers, our brain and body need more sleep to work and grow; Second, starting and finishing early is hard for families. Parents may need to leave work early to pick up their kids from school; Third, when kids don't get enough sleep, they can be irritable, so they might have problems with classmates and even fight with each other.
However, David has different opinion. He thinks starting school earlier helps students become early risers (早起者). This is a healthy habit that brings positive energy and helps us feel more active in the morning. Also, starting school earlier means that school would end earlier, so students have more time for important after-school activities. An earlier start can help students plan their time better and live a healthier life.
So what do you think? Do you prefer starting early or late?

文章主要讲了学校应该早点上课还是应该晚点上课的问题。
第23题:细节理解题。根据第二段"First, as teenagers, our brain and body need more sleep to work and grow; Second, starting and finishing early is hard for families. Parents may need to leave work early to pick up their kids from school; Third, when kids don't get enough sleep, they can be irritable, so they might have problems with classmates and even fight with each other."（首先,作为青少年,我们的大脑和身体需要更多的睡眠来工作和成长;第二,早开始早结束对家庭来说很难。父母可能需要提前下班去接孩子放学;第三,当孩子们睡眠不足时,他们可能会变得易怒,所以他们可能会和同学发生问题,甚至互相打架。）可知,Ahava给出了三个理由来支持她的观点。故选B。
第24题:词义猜测题。根据第二段"when kids don't get enough sleep, they can be irritable, so they might have problems with classmates and even fight with each other."（当孩子们睡眠不足时,他们会变得易怒,所以他们可能会和同学发生问题,甚至互相打架。）可知,当孩子们睡眠不足时,他们可能会和同学有问题甚至打架,由此可推测"irritable"意为"易怒的,暴躁的",与"mad（疯狂的,暴躁的）"意思相近。故选C。
第25题:细节理解题。根据第三段"He thinks starting school earlier helps students become early risers. This is a healthy habit that brings positive energy and helps us feel more active in the morning."（他认为早点上学有助于学生成为早起者。这是一种健康的习惯,能带来正能量,帮助我们在早上感觉更活跃。）可知,David认为早起上学是一种健康的习惯。故选A。
第26题:主旨大意题。根据第一段"So should schools start earlier or later? We asked some readers for their opinions."（那么,学校应该早上学还是晚上学呢?我们询问了一些读者的意见。）以及全文内容可知,本文主要讨论了学校应该早点上课还是晚点上课的问题。故选A。

Jack and his dad Dale, love outdoor adventures. One cloudy day, they went on a boat trip along the Magellan Strait. The waves were a little loud and huge. Jack was excited and enjoyed his trip in the boat. Dale stood on the beach, taking photos of the exciting journey.
Suddenly, a whale(鲸) jumped out of the water near Jack. Its body was so large. Dale took some photos. When he looked up again, his son Jack disappeared!
The whale took Jack and his boat into his mouth. “Everything was dark,” Jack said, “I knew I was in the whale's mouth, and the mouth was closing! I was afraid at that time.” A moment later, the whale opened its mouth and Jack suddenly popped(砰地出现) back up to the surface. Jack was so nervous that he was shaking a lot, but not hurt(受伤).
People near the beach said they didn't often meet this situation. “Whales usually eat small fish, not people. Maybe this whale was just as surprised as Jack. It didn't want to eat him,” a scientist said. To protect both people and wildlife, the government told everyone to stay at least 100 metres away from ocean animals.
“It was a scary adventure, but I wasn't angry and now I know whales are friendly,” Jack said. “Next time, I'll keep myself away ... but I'm happy I'm OK now!”
