How much sleep do we need? We are all different. Some people need only three hours of sleep a night. Others need ten hours of sleep a night. Most Americans sleep an average ( 平均 ) of seven to eight hours a night. After the age of fifty, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a day.

Most people have a night when they cannot sleep. About one in three(1/3) Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people can not fall asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia.

Passage B

中考英语阅读理解分类练习：健康保健类

Have you heard of “Kong Nao”? A new word appears on the Internet recently. In fact, it refers to some passengers who behave badly by plane and could endanger flight safety. On December 11, on the airline flight from Bangkok Thailand to Nanjing, two tourists conflicted with an air attendant. The male tourist poured garbage in the aisle(过道) and said something bad to the flight attendant. The female tourist threw a whole cup of hot water over the flight attendant. At last the plane was forced to turn back. On January 10, 2015, a passenger on Flight MU2036 opened an emergency exit without permission because of dissatisfaction with the flight delay. At last the plane was forced to turn back.

These things not only affect the normal order of flight but also have a bad international influence.

The improvement of living standards means more Chinese can take a plane. But many of them don’t behave well in public. A report by Living Social website in March 2012 even listed Chinese as the world’s second worst tourists after Americans.

If you want to change those bad behaviors and become a civilized passenger, remember to avoid the followings：

●Don’t spit in public or throw away trashes here and ther e.

●Never cut in line or snatch bus seats.

●Don’t laugh or speak loudly.

●Don’t take off shoes or smoke in public.

●Say something polite and do something civilized.

Whenever and wherever you are, you need to respect others. In this way, you'll win compliments（称赞） for yourself.

【小题1】Why do more and more Chinese people take the plane?

A．Because Chinese people want to see more of the world.

B．Because taking the plane is more and more popular around the world. C．Because of the growth in the industry and the improvement of living standards. D．Because Chinese people do better and better in public manners.

【小题2】________ were reported the worst by Living Social website in March 2012. A．Chinese B．Thais C．Phuketers D．Americans

【小题3】What does the underlined phrases “air attendant” mean?

B．Chinese travelers should stop such bad manners as speaking loudly.

C．Four pieces of advice are mentioned to become a civilized visitor.

D．On December 11, 2014, the airline flight had to return because of weather.

Passage C

In almost every big university（大学）in the United States, football is a favourite sport. American football is different. Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field. They have four chances（机会）to move the ball ten yards（码）. They can carry it or they can throw it. If they move the ball ten yards, they can try to move it another ten yards. If they move it to the end of the field, they receive six points（点）. It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the other team try to stop the man with the ball. If he does not move the ball ten yards, his team kicks the ball the other team.

Passage E

阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳的答案。

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Something shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power. For many centuries, people used windmills to make wheat into flour(面粉) or get water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were hardly used. During the 1970s, people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would run out one day. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind
