Passage 2：(2010东城一模)

There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy.

One day, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra work to do for the evening, and that he wouldn’t be able to play with his little boy. But, he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep him busy. So, looking around his office, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He removed the map, and then patiently tore it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.

When he got home, the little boy came running to him and was ready to play. The man explained that he had extra work to do and couldn’t play with him. He took out all the pieces of the map and spread them on the table. He explained that it was a map of the world, and that by the time he put it back together, his extra work would be finished and they could both play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.

About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, “Okay, it’s finished. Can we play now?”

The man was surprised, saying, “That’s impossible. Let’s go and see.” And sure enough, there was the picture of the world; all put together, every piece in its place.

The man said, “That's amazing! How did you do that?” The boy said, “It was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of a man. When I put the man together, the whole world fell into place.”

Passage 3：2010宣武一模

Growing kids need sleep, as do people of all ages. Indeed, research shows that health and safety both suffer when we try to get by with too little shuteye. So it’s fortunate that our bodies do such a good job of warning us when it’s time to hit the sack.

Like humans, other animals also take time out to rest. You’ve probably seen a lion dozing at the zoo, or maybe watched our dog snooze away lying in its bed. In fact, sleep is a necessity for every animal that’s ever been studied.

How long animals sleep, though, varies widely. Elephants and giraffes sleep only about 2 to 4 hours a day, while bats may nod off for up to 20 hours. Ducks sleep together, and the birds on the edge of the group sleep with the outside eye open and half of their brain awake. Some birds may even sleep while flying. The fact that all animals make time for sleeping, even under very dangerous situations, suggests that sleep is very important.

Sleep may also be primarily a way for animals to save energy and stay out of harm. Herbivores, like cows and zebras, need to spend more time searching for and grazing on food than meat eaters do, such as lions and other big cats. So a big cat might be better off sleeping for a while after it eats, rather than prowling around and risking injury.

But that’s just a guess. Scientists need to study other animals as well before they can fully understand the benefits(好处) of sleep and know which benefits are most important for a particular species（物种）.

One thing is certain: enough sleep is important to health and learning. So give in when a strong wish to sleep hits, and catch plenty of ZZZs.

IV. 实力挑战：满分为10分,祝你能成为满分赢家！

Studies have shown it takes a doctor about 18 seconds to stop a patient after he begins talking.

It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I came close to her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, trying to put socks on her swollen (肿大的) feet. I spoke quickly to the nurse, saw her chart saying she was in stable (稳定的) condition. I was almost in the clear.

She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I began a long speech that went something like this: “How are you feeling? Your blood sugar and blood pressure (血压) were high but they’re better today. The nurse said you can’t wait to see your son who’s visi ting you today. It’s nice to have family visit from far away. I’m sure you really look forward to seeing him.”

She stopped me with a serious voice. “Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story.”

I was surprised and ashamed. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that the pressure of this caused greatly to her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.

Listening to someone’s story costs less than expensive diagnostic(诊断的) testing but is key to healing(痊愈).

I often thought of what that woman taught me — the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, unexpectedly, I became the patient, with a diagnosis of sclerosis (硬化症) at age 31. Now, 20 years later, I sit all the time — in a wheelchair.

For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair, but I had to give up my job when my hands were influenced. I still teach medical students and other health care professionals, but now from the view of doctor and patient.

I tell them I believe in the power (力量) of listening. I tell them I know firsthand that huge healing takes place within me when someone stops, sits down and listens to my story.
