Once upon a
time, there was a king. He only had one leg and
one eye, but he was very smart and kind.
1
lived a happy and healthy life because
of the king. One day, the king was walking through
the palace hallway and saw
the
2
of his
ancestors(
祖先
). He thought
that one day his children would also walk in the
same hallway
and
remember
all the ancestors
3
these paintings. He wanted his children
to remember him, too.
4
he
invited
many famous artists to his
palace.
All of the artists

sure what his painting would be like. So one by

to politely
refuse to make a painting of the king.
But
suddenly

The

Passage 1
Beauty
sleep is a real thing, researches have shown that
people who have enough sleep look more attractive
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.
, an expert at the
University of Liver

pool
said, “Judgement of attractiveness is often un
-
conscious(
无
意识的
), but 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.”

photos?

Passage 2
What do
you want most after playing football or a great
deal of physical exercise on a hot afternoon? A
cold
drink may be just the thing. But
be careful of what you are drinking. Something
that looks cool may not be good for
our
health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the
market. Most of them have beautiful colors and
cool names.
The lists on them tell you
they are helpful to your health. Sounds
great!
But after a careful
check you may find that most energy drinks have
lots of caffeine(
咖啡因
) in
them. These
drinks are especially aimed
at young people, students, busy people and sports
players. Makers sometimes say their
drinks make you better at sports and
can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink
too much.
Caffeine makes
your heart beat fast. Because of this, the
International Olympic Committee has
limited(
限制
) its
use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is
at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or
tea. Possible health dangers have
something to do with energy drinks.
Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous,
have difficulty sleeping and
can even
cause heart problems. Scientists say that
teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks
with a lot of
caffeine in
them.
reasons why many
people like drinking energy drinks are the
following EXCEPT that
.
have beautiful colors and cool
names
are said to be
helpful to health
