Beauty sleep is a real thing, researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more
attractive ( 有魅力的 ) to others.
A few bad nights is enough to make a person look "especially" more ugly, their sleep experiments
show.
The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked
to get a good night's sleep for two nights.
A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row.
The researchers took make-up free ( 素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad
sleep.
Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge ( 评价) them on attractiveness,
health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: "How much would you like to make friends with this person
in the picture?"
The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were
sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.
The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers
say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away. In other words, people
don't want to hang around with people who might be ill.
Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said "Judgement of attractiveness is often
unconscious ( 无意识的 ), hut we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether
someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us."
（1）When did the researchers take make-up free photos?
A . After two nights good sleep.
B . After two nights bad sleep.
C . Before the experiment.
D . After both two nights' good sleep and two nights' had sleep.
（2）The researchers asked the strangers to do the following except _______.
A . telling who looked healthier
B . telling who didn't have many friends
第 8 页 共 16 页C . telling who missed a lot of sleep
D . telling who was attractive
（3）What kind of friends did the strangers like to make?
A . The people who were tired.
B . The people who were sleepy.
C . The people who were unhealthy.
D . The people who were attractive and energetic.
（4）What does the underlined word "socialize "mean in Chinese?
A . 合伙
B . 玩耍
C . 交往
D . 共事
（5）According to the passage, which of the following is the best title?
A . Beauty sleep, More attractive
B . More sleep, More Friends
C . Less sleep, Fewer friends
D . No attractiveness, No friends
20. （6 分）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
Yang Nan, 17, was happy to move to her new home in a northern area of Beijing. She was told that
her neighborhood used to be farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new
road, beautiful park and supermarkets, Yang couldn't see any sign that food was once grown there.
Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas.
Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more. But
these changes have caused problems too, warns Gan Zang chun, an official at the Ministry of Land and
Resources ( 国土资源部 ).
"Chinese cities are growing fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller. This is really
bad for the country's ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers," said Gan last Monday.
The country needs farmland to grow food for the people of China. But the recent rise in house prices
has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale.
Pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in China's farmland. About
2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.
The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares( 公顷) of farmland. But there are
第 9 页 共 16 页only about 121.8 million hectares left. "It will be really difficult to reach the goal," Gan said. He
said that the government would fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming desert.
（1）The article seems to tell us that _________.
A . farmland is in danger
B . countrysides are turned into towns
C . farmland has been sold
D . Chinese cities are grown fast
（2）From what Gan Zangchun said, he is worrying about _________.
A . China's development
B . land and resources
C . Chinese people's life
D . illegal land use
（3）What size of the land have been polluted and turned into desert?
A . 120 million hectares.
B . 121.8 million hectares.
C . 2.67 million square kilometers.
D . Millions of square kilometers.
