In today’s world, sleep experts say that for a better night’s rest. Americans should turn off their smartphones or iPads before sleeping. Such electronic products make the brain more active, and then influence people’s sleep. But according to a latest survey, more than 90% of Americans regularly use a computer or some other kinds of electronic products in the hour before bed.
Researchers found that man-made light from some electronic products at night might reduce the levels of the brain chemicals that help sleep. The researchers showed that sitting in the light from tablets clearly reduced the levels of the chemicals which manage our body clocks and play a great role in the sleep cycle.
In the study, the researchers let volunteers read, play games and watch movies on a tablet for different time while measuring how much light their eyes received. They found that sitting for two hours before a bright tablet at night reduced the levels of the chemicals by about 22%.
Studies of students using computers at night have got the similar results. And researchers said that might not only cause sleeplessness, but also increase the risk of obesity（肥胖症），diabetes（糖尿病）and other diseases
To be on the safe side, the researchers advise us to use computers less before bed, or turn down our screens low.
( ) 64. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A . Americans don’t get enough sleep. B. Electronic products are very popular.
C. The brain becomes more active at night. D. Sleep experts never use smartphones.
( ) 65. How may electronic products influence people’s sleep
A. By making our brains more tired. B. By making our bodies weak.
C. By reducing the levels of the brain chemicals that help us sleep.
D. By changing our body clocks.
( ) 66. What does the underlined word “that” refer to?
A. Making a survey about sleep. B. Using smartphones in the daytime.
C. Sitting in a bright room. D. Surfing the Internet at night.
( ) 67. What do the researchers advise us to do to have a good sleep?
A. Learn to use smartphones or iPads. B. Watch some relaxing TV programs.

When talking about “good people”, who first comes to your mind? Many Chinese might think of Lei Feng. In China, the young soldier is a symbol of the giving spirit. People who act selflessly are sometimes named “living Lei Feng”.
Born in Hunan in 1940, Lei grew up poor. He became a soldier in 1960. But just two years later, the young man died because of being hit on the head.
During his short life, he did not fight in any wars, nor did he achieve any world-changing accomplishments. But he has been remembered as a national hero.
Lei spent his whole life helping others. He carried luggages for the elderly and gave food to children. He once gave all the money he had to the sick parents of a friend. He mended pants and socks for his fellow soldiers and taught them how to read.
Lei is not a “Superman”, but a role model for every common person. Lei once wrote in his diary that he wanted to be a “screw（螺丝钉） that never rusts（生锈）”， This shows he was never proud of himself although he did so many good things.
According to Chairman Mao Zedong, Lei did more than just these good things — he served the people wholeheartedly all his life.
Lei Feng did many good things and never let others know about this during his life. After he died, people found his diary and learned about what he did. People also learned more about Lei from his fellow soldiers.
On Mar. 5, 1963, in an article for People’s Daily, Chairman Mao Zedong wrote that people should “Learn from Comrade Lei Feng”. Lei became a hero known to every Chinese. Later, March 5 became “Learn from Lei Feng Day”.
( ) 68. How old was Lei Feng when he died because of being hit on the head?
A. 20. B. 22. C. 25 . D. 18.
( ) 69. What does the underlined word “accomplishments” mean?
A . Achievements. B. Inventions. C. Instructions. D. Advantages.
( ) 70. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Lei Feng joined the army when he was 18 years old.
B. Lei Feng did a lot of good things as he was a real Superman.
C. Premier Zhou Enlai wrote that people should “Learn from Comrade Lei Feng”.
D. It was not until Lei Feng died that he was known to do many good things.
( ) 71. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. Tell us how strange Lei Feng was. B. Lei Feng spent his life helping others.
C. Lei Feng wanted to be a screw. D. Introduce the life of Lei Feng.

More and more people are good at catching business chances to create wealth. Recently the Chinese Internet buzzwords（流行语） “thin blue mushroom” have become the name of a company in Shenzhen.
How do the buzzwords come? In fact, they mean “sad and feeling like you want to cry” in English. When they were first spoken by a young man, they sounded similar to “lan shou xiang gu”. At that time, the young man just experienced a sad story of love and posted a video online. In the video, he said such words. Only a few days later, the words became popular among Internet users. Before that, some other buzzwords also became popular on the Internet.
After Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui swam into the women’s 100m backstroke final in the semifinal in the Rio Olympics, she said that she had used her “prehistorical power（洪荒之力）”．As a result, her words became popular overnight. And just t
