• 1．The Biggest Stadiums in the World People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece.In around 8 A.D.，the Romans built the Colosseum，which remains the world's best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design.Rome's Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances，seating 50，000 people.However，that was small fry compared with the city's Circus Maximus，which accommodated around 250，000 people.
   These days，safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan's desire for a good view and a comfortable seat-tend to keep stadium capacities（容量）slightly lower.Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each；gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
   For the biggest stadiums in the world，we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far，which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity，as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
   All these stadiums are still functional，still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
     •Rungrado 1st of May Stadium，Pyongyang，D.P.R.Korea.Capacity：150，000.Opened：May 1，1989.
     •Michigan Stadium，Ann Arbor，Michigan，U.S.Capacity：107，601.Opened：October 1，1927.

• 2．Going to sleep at a certain time is associated with a lower risk of developing heart disease，according to researchers.In a study published in the European Heart Journal，a team found that going to sleep between 10：00pm and 11：00pm was beneficial compared to earlier or later bedtimes.The research included 88.026 participants in the UK.
     An analysis found that sleep onset time of 10：00pm to 10：59 pm was associated with the lowest incidence of heart disease.There was a 25% higher risk of heart disease with sleep onset at midnight or later，a 12% greater risk for 11：00pm to 11：59pm and a 24% higher risk for falling asleep before 10.00pm compared to sleep onset from 10：00pm to 10：59 pm.
     "The body has a 24-hour internal clock that helps adjust physical and mental functioning." Study author David of the University of Exeter said in a statement. "While we cannot conclude from our study，the results suggest that early or late bedtimes may be more likely to destroy the body Hock." "While the findings do not show conclusion，sleep timing has appeared as a potential heart disease risk factor - independent of other risk factors.If our findings are proved in other studies，sleep timing and basic sleep health could be a low-cost public health target for lowering risk of heart disease." David added.
  
  （1）Which is the best time for sleep？

  
  A．8：40pm.
  B．9：50pm.
  C．10：45pm.
  D．11：10pm.
  （2）How is Paragraph 2 organized？

  
  A．By giving some data.
  B．By raising a question.
  C．By giving an example.
  D．By following the time order.
  （3）What can be inferred from David's words？

  
  A．Sleep too early will surely cause heart disease.
  B．Sleep timing is a possible heart disease risk factor.
  C．Sleep timing is a risk factor related with other factors.
  D．Sleeping before eight will not damage your body clock.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Body Clock Makes a Difference to Sleep
  B．Sleeping Late is not Harmful to Heart Health
  C．Sleep Timing Has an Effect on Heart Disease
  D．Earlier Bedtime is More Beneficial than Later One

• 3．An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters.It may cause great damage.So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
     Fragile items，like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface，near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up.Never place them near your bed，sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down.When there is a strong movement，these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
     There is a strong chance of short circuits（短路）and fire breakouts during an earthquake.Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
     During an earthquake，lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged.Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you.Never use the elevator to go down.Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out.Use the staircases at all times.
     If you are outdoors，do not take shelter under a tree，streetlights，electric poles or tall buildings.If you are driving，stop your car and stay in a safe place.Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
     If trapped in debris（瓦砾堆），cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you.Use a whistle（哨子）if one is available.Never shout for help.
     Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust.Do not light a match because you may burn yourself.Do not move about or kick up dust.
  
  （1）The purpose of the passage is to tell readers

  .
  A．the damage caused by earthquakes
  B．the rescue work after earthquakes
  C．how to prevent earthquakes
  D．what to do about earthquakes
  （2）The underlined word "Fragile" in Paragraph 2 probably means

      I was frightening on my first day of classes at an American universjye.aiy.It was my first time to sit with such many Americans in a classroom.Unlike many other classmate，I sat quietly by jye.aiself.My teacher spoke fast and I had a hard time understanding him.There is no doubt that English is a hardest thing I experienced so far.Because I'm a Chinese student，communicate fluently with Americans can be really difficult.However，I have to struggle to understand that is being said in class.Reading and writing are equally as more important as listening and speaking.
      When my classes started to get busier，I found that harder to finish the passages.That's when a real disaster struck.
