Getting a good night‟s sleep is not only directly related to how we feel the next day, but to our long-term health as well. However, many of us suffer from insomnia (失眠). Even more of us report at least one night of restless sleep per week. This is a serious problem.Well, how can we make sure that we rest well and stay healthy? Here are some suggestions. If you can‟t sleep in the middle of the night, don‟t get up. The bright light will affect your body clock and worsen your insomnia. Stay in bed!Avoid short sleep during the day, except for a brief ten to fifteen-minute sleep between 2:00 and 4:00 P.M.Limit your time in bed to the average number of hours you‟ve actually slept per night last week. Don‟t try to make up for lost sleep. It can‟t be done.Get regular exercise each day, but finish at least six hours before bedtime.

Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签 ) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!" Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, weeping. Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden ,a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart,Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so absorbed into my work that I even didn't noticed Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. "Thanks."Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in，cleaning up and holding on.5、What made Kate angry that evening?A．She heard the author shouting loud.B．She couldn't find her books.C．She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.D．She got the news that her grandma was ill.6、The author tidied up the room most probably because___.A．she was scared by Kate's angerB．she wanted to show her careC．she hated herself for being so messyD．she was asked by Kate to do so7、How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A．By showing differences.

Fortunately, you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding.Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude （独处）and silence. To tune in to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume （强度）in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands for silence in your day. In the car, instead of listening to the music, use the time to think. At work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very, very slowly. Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. If you are walking with the dog, take the time to admire flowers in bloom; follow the flight of a bird and watch clouds float overhead.Ask Questions of Yourself. Ask open-ended questions, such as "What am I feeling? What are my choices? Where am I heading?"But don't expect an answer to arrive through some supernatural forms of e-mail. “Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question,” says Reverend Joan Carter, a Presbyterian minister in Sausalito, California. “But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective I never considered before.”Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut （本能的）feeling to realize danger, spiritual intelligence pushes us, not away from, but towards some action that will lead to a greater good.. 9、The passage is mainly about______.A ．what your SQ is and in what way it can benefit our lifeB ．what your SQ is and in what way it can be improvedC ．the relationship between your SQ and your lifeD ．advantages and disadvantages of SQ10、The underlined phrase "to tune in to your spirit" in the third paragraph probably means to_________A ．get your spirit relaxedB ．keep up your spiritC ．keep seated quietlyD ．change your spirit11、From the passage, we can know that the most important thing to improve your SQ is______A．a peaceful mind B．deep thoughtC．spare time and hobbies D．good spiritsIt was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet hurt. The loaded plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn‟t seem able to do anything right. As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you‟ve looked after us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness disappeared. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I‟d liked my first day, I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had changed everything. Praise is like sunlight to human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold criticism（批评）, but are unwilling to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Perhaps that is why one word of praise can bring such pleasure.It‟s strange how chary we are ab out praising. Perhaps it‟s because few of us know how to accept it. It‟s especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed．An artist gets admired for a glorious picture，a cook for a perfect meal．But do you ever tell your laundry （洗衣房）manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? In fact，to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment‟s thought and a moment‟s effort．12、Which of the following can‟t describe the writer‟s situation before she got her t ip?

A．An artist． B．A cook．C．A waitress． D．A laundry manager．14、The underlined word “chary” in Paragraph 2 means_________.A．careless B．cautiousC．unwilling D．greedy15、What is the best title of the passage?A．Why Do You Praise Others?B．Why do You Criticize Others?试卷第6页，共10页C ．Be Generous to Give Others Praise!D ．Don‟t Criticize Others!二、完形填空（题型注释）阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和D ）中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
