Christmas is a great time with family and friends. One of the best ways to bond with （團结） one another is through games. So why not play some great Christmas party games？

Present pickup is a great game for both young and old at heart. It can be played inside or outside. To prepare for the game， you will need to have some small boxes and some small gift bags. This is a great way to use the paper from last year. There should be as many presents as players. Youll also need four or more candy canes （甘蔗）. Two large boxes can be used to drop the presents in.

Two ropes will be needed. Take one rope and make a starting line. The other rope will mark the finish line. Place the large boxes at the finish line. Equally divide the presents into two groups. Its best to have an equal number of boxes and bags on each side to make it fair.

The first player on each team will take two candy canes. When its time to start， theyll pick up the presents only using the candy canes. Each player must run his present to the box or finish line and drop it in. If its dropped on the way， the player starts over. After they drop their presents， the players will run the candy canes to the next players. This continues until all the presents have been picked up. The first team to finish wins.

To play kids against adults， you may want to put easier presents in a group for the kids and more difficult ones for the adults. There are many variations to the game， so have some fun and come up with your own.

Teenagers are damaging their health by not getting enough sleep because they are distracted by electronic products in their bedrooms， according to a survey.

UK advice body The Sleep Council said “junk sleep” could rival （比得上） the consumption of unhealthy junk food as a major lifestyle issue for parents of teenage children. It brings no less harm than junk food to ones health. Its survey of 1，000 teenagers aged 12 to 16 found that 30 percent managed just 4 to 7 hours sleep as opposed to （形成對照） the recommended 8 or 9 hours by the experts. Almost a quarter said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV， listening to music or using other electronic products.

“This is an extremely worrying situation，” said Dr Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre. “What we are seeing is the appearance of Junk Sleep—that is sleep which is of neither the length nor quality that it should be in order to feed the brain with the rest it needs to perform properly at school.”

Nearly all the teenagers had a phone， music system or TV in their bedroom， with around two-thirds possessing all three. Almost one in five of the teenage boys said the quality of their sleep had been affected by leaving their TV or computer on. The survey also found that 40 percent of teenagers felt tired each day， with girls aged 15 to 16 doing the worst. However， just 11 percent said they were bothered by the lack or quality of sleep.

“Im surprised that so few teenagers make the link between getting enough good quality sleep and how they feel during the day，” Idzikowski said. “Teenagers need to wake up to the fact to feel well， perform well and look well; they need to do something about their sleep.”

32. How many hours should teenagers sleep every night according to experts？

A. 4 to 7 hours. B. 6 or 7 hours.

C. 7 or 8 hours. D. 8 or 9 hours.

33. What can we learn about “junk sleep”？

A. Its a kind of sleep with good quality.

B. Its a kind of sleep with longer hours.

C. Its not as harmful as junk food to ones health.

D. Its mainly caused by the electronic products in the bedroom.

34. How does Dr Chris Idzikowski feel about the present situation？

A. Angry. B. Worried.

C. Satisfied. D. Disappointed.

35. What should be the best title of this passage？

A. How to Avoid Junk Sleep

B. Junk Food and Junk Sleep

C. A Survey about Junk Sleep

D. Junk Sleep Is Damaging Teenagers Health

第二節 阅读七选五（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）

Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”？  For example， someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy， but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.” While many people use this phrase， not everyone knows the meaning behind it.

This is just an expression fact. The phrase “blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon， not the color.

As the moon travels around the earth， it appears to change shape. We associate names with certain shapes of the moon.

A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail. When we cannot see the moon at all， it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon is called a full moon.

Sometimes， however， there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens， the second full moon is called a blue moon.

Over the next 20 years， there will only be 15 blue moons.

This fact has led people to use the expression “once in a blue moon” to other very rare events in their lives.

A. Its difficult to understand.

B. Thats never used in public places.

C. As you can see， a blue moon is a very rare event.

D. Usually， there is only one full moon every month.

E. The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue.

F. People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often.

G. For example， a small part of the moon is called a crescent moon.

36.                            37.                            38.

39.                            40.
