"Every person deserves the right to education and I want to be that person who champions that for them.I plan to use the money to help students worldwide access higher education，" she said. "Students are the reason I'm here，so I plan to use that to promote them and create a better future for them."

3．Thanks to a new virtual（虛擬的）reality film offering 360 degree viewing，armchair travelers around the world can now visit places like the Amazon rainforest.Provided freely by Conservation International，you'll be able to take in the breathtaking beauty and amazing biodiversity（生物多樣性）that is dished up in a film entitled "Under the Canopy" without worrying about being eaten alive by insects，giant snakes or bird spiders.Besides that，and saving on airfare and getting your passport updated，the film is said to be simply beyond belief in its clarity and realism.
But the purpose of the film goes beyond just providing viewers with amazing visuals in virtual experience.The makers of the film want to bring awareness to the fact that this once vast wilderness and its occupants are shrinking rapidly and disappearing due to deforestation.In other words，the magnificent sights and sound that you'll enjoy during your virtual wandering around the Amazon's beautiful rainforest need badly to be protected.
If you're not aware，a statistic in connection to annual forest loss in the region can be clarified：the loss is equal to 1.5 times the size of Yellowstone National Park.Now，if you're still a little unclear about the significance of this.Yellowstone is 3，472 square miles in size，which is 2，221，766 acres，if that helps you out.
In the film，you will have a virtual rout guide，Kamanja Panashekung，a native to the area whose ancestors have lived in the region for countless generations.During his educational tour Panashekung explains to viewers of the film the many ways in which the rainforest supplies his people with everything they need to survive on a daily basis.His story is actually pretty fantastic，especially if you live in city and can't imagine what it would be like living in such a wild and remote area of the world.

4．When Shakespeare called sleep "nature's soft nurse"，he was certainly onto something.Centuries later，researchers have found that inadequate sleep in children affects their emotional functioning in ways that may predict longer-term social problems.A new study，conducted by a professor of psychology，Candice Alfano，examined whether changes in children's facial expressions of emotion after sleep restriction （限制） predict social problems concurrently （同時發(fā)生） and/or over time.
"Sleep problems in children are routinely linked with lower social competence and more problems in peer（同齡） relationships，but we really don't understand what drives these associations， " reports Alfano，assuming that the answers might partly lie in the ways children's faces express emotions when tired.
To test this theory，Alfano and colleagues examined 37 children between the ages of 7 and 11 during two in-lab emotional assessments：one when children were well-rested and the other after two nights of partial sleep restriction.During these assessments，children viewed positive （think kittens and ice cream） and negative （think getting a shot and fierce dogs） pictures on a computer screen while a camera recorded their facial expressions.Participants' parents provided reports of their child's social functioning at that time and approximately two years later.
"As we suspected，children who displayed less positive facial expressions in response to pleasant images when sleep was restricted were reported to have more social problems two years later，even when controlling for earlier social problems." said Alfano.
Although concurrent relationships between sleep-based changes in facial expressions and social problems were not found，Alfano suggests that this may be due to developmental differences in social behavior and peer relationships.
"For younger children，more clearly-shown behaviors such as sharing and taking turns may be more important for friendships than facial expressions.However，emotional expression becomes more important with age，explains Alfano.
The results indicate poor sleep quality in childhood forecasts later socio-emotional problems and also indicate the importance of studies exploring how sleep affects many aspects of children's mental health and well-being.
（1）Why is Shakespeare's comparison used？
A．To compare different attitudes towards sleep.
B．To show good sleep is essential to our health.
C．To indicate man's energy is closely related to sleep.
D．To create the connection between art and research.
（2）What was the research mainly targeted at？
A．Sleeping amount.
B．Children's health.
C．Facial expressions.
D．Emotional problems.
（3）What role did the parents play in the study？
A．Research testers.
B．Media reporters.
C．Data collectors.
D．Experiment organizers.
（4）What can we infer from Alfano？
A．Overtired children's expressions can tell their present social problems.
B．More factors influence children's concurrent social functioning.
C．Good sleep is sure to guarantee a good peer relationship.
D．Age will help reduce emotional problems.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6

5．Apple's vitamin and mineral content，its easy availability，and its inexpensiveness are the reasons why it's the second most-consumed fruit in the world. （1）
But what about the calories and nutritional value in it？Can we consume apples in endless numbers and still stay fit？
A medium-sized apple contains up to 95 calories.However，the sugar content—about 19 g—is still less than the 21 g you get in a regular-sized chocolate bar. （2）The fiber present in fruits and vegetables helps control blood sugar levels naturally.It slows down digestion and stops the blood sugar levels from rising as they would after you consume candy.
Eating one medium-sized apple gives you your daily dose of 14% vitamin A and 11% of vitamin C，both that your immune system needs the most.Antioxidants like vitamin A and C save the body from damage caused by unstable atoms. （3）If we consume darker apples more，we can get an antioxidant that protects the body from diseases and a good amount of indigestible fiber our gut's good bacteria feed on，so it's a win-win deal!
（4）Consuming one or two apples on a daily basis is good for your health.But if you're diabetic，you should restrict the consumption to not more than a small-sized apple a day as apples are a high-sugar fruit.If you stay alert and take a proper diet，your body will benefit a lot.But if you eat endlessly，even the healthiest food in the world would damage your body and increase the number of doctor visits. （5）
A．So act smartly and stay safe.
B．How many apples can you eat in a day？
C．Therefore，you should watch out for the food quality.
D．How can we guarantee that we will get this fruit continuously？
E．Plus，this sugar is less harmful to your body since it comes with fibers.
F．They reduce the risks of illness and aging，giving you healthy and smooth skin.
G．Since it comes in many varieties and different tastes，people never get bored of it.組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5

18．I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands.I felt the string of the package softly and then，unable to contain my curiosity any longer，I tore it open.It was a bright，brand new laptop.I had scored straight as for my O level examination and this was my reward.I had always envied my friends who were exchanging news about ‘chat rooms'， ‘instant messaging' and ‘e-mailing'，all of which I knew nothing about.Now I was going to find out.
It started out simply enough.I was searching for some information online when I came across a social networking site.Soon I became attracted to my new-found electronic friend.I began to spend more and more time on YouTube and became addicted to Facebook and Twitter.I had never imagined that the day would come when I would be controlled entirely by the glowing screen before me.Whenever I was not glued to these social networking sites，I would be going through gossip or fashion websites.
As time passed，I realized that I was addicted to the Internet.During weekends，when I had more time on my hands，I could easily spend a few hours on my laptop.It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room，refusing to come out and take part in family discussions.I preferred to stay connected to the people I made friends with on the Internet although I had never met them.Soon I was spending the whole hours of the morning surfing on the Internet.Sleep was reduced to small naps and my grades at school also began getting from bad to worse.
