Last September,Dobbs Ferry School District joined a small but growing number of schools around the US that have started pushing back their middle and high school start times in an effort to prevent students from being groggy. Dr.Lisa Brady,the head teacher of the schools,tells Business Insider that in the past 2015-16 school year,middle school started at 8:15 a.m.and high school at 7:30 a.m.Under the new policy,each school now starts and ends 45 minutes later.Both schools have benefited a lot,Brady says.
Following a survey at the end of the school year,Brady says“it was clear from both the parents and the kids,that the mornings were just less stressful.”
Many of the kids reported having more time to eat breakfast and get ready for school,while parents said they didn’t have to drag kids out of bed or yell at them to hurry up.Once students got to school,they felt more active.At night,they tended to go to bed at the same time,even though the new schedule leaves them an extra 45 minutes.
Tony is also a math teacher,and he says,kids seem more relaxed now in the campus and his students already produce better work steadily,even though the schedule just a month old.Around the campus,kids seem more relaxed now that they’re not juggling as much work as early in the day.
Negative responses to later start times are rare,but they do happen.
Brady says some parents at Dobbs Ferry have found it harder to complete the necessary morning routines and get to work on time.Meanwhile,Tony says the problem for school is finding enough buses for kids.And some students say once they finally get home,many say they have less time for all the homework they’ve been assigned.
( )5.What does the underlined word “groggy” in the first paragraph probably mean? A.Active. C.Weak. School District? A.8:15 a.m. C.7:30 a.m.

B.Both the parents and the kids have less stressful mornings. C.The time that students spend at school is less than before. D.Students are making progress in study.

It may come as a shock to owners,but dogs hate being hugged,a study has shown. Animal psychologists say dogs feel stressed and unhappy when they are hugged by their owners,because it stops them being able to run away.
In a study which analysed 25 pictures of dogs as they were being hugged,eight out of ten animals looked clearly uncomfortable.
Experts at The Kennel Club,and Battersea Dogs & Cats Home,also agreed that owners should not treat their dogs like children,because most pets did not like to be hugged.
The new study was carried out by Dr Stanley Coren,a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia.He analysed images of dogs being hugged by adults and children he found on the Internet,looking for signs of stress.
At an extreme end,when a dog is especially anxious it shows its teeth or may bite,but Dr Coren said there are other signs that it may be uncomfortable but they are small and not obvious.
Signs of stress include the dog folding its ears down,half-moon eyes or turning its head away to avoid eye contact.If the dog has its eyes closed,it could also be a sign of anxiety.Open its mouth or raising one paw is another warning sign.
“The clear suggestion to come out of this research is to save your hugs for your two-footed family members and lovers.”
It is clearly better from the dog’s point of view if you express your fondness for your pet with a pat,a kind word,and maybe a treat.
Some people think that giving their dog a hug is a nice thing to do,but the reality is that a family pet will often tolerate a hug but doesn’t like it.
“On the whole dogs are sociable animals and love communicating with
people,but any action that restricts a dog’s movement could make them uncomfortable and it is important for an owner to recognize the signs of stress or anxiety.” ( )9.According to the study,what might a dog not feel when it is being hugged? A.Stressed. C.Shocked.
B.Uncomfortable. D.Unhappy.
( )10.Which of the following is not the sign of stress for dogs? A.Showing its teeth. B.Folding its ears down. C.Raising one paw. D.Keeping eye contact.
( )11.According to the passage,what are dog owners suggested to do? A.Hug their family members more. B.Stop touching their dogs. C.Stop treating their dogs as friends. D.Leave their dogs alone.
( )12.What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.A study shows that dogs hate being treated like children. B.A study tells owners that dogs dislike being hugged. C.A study teaches owners how to treat a stressed dog.
D.A study teaches owners how to recognize an uncomfortable dog.

Along with the music,I watch people dancing.The music is fast,but the beating of my heart is faster.I want to dance,but I’m afraid I’m not good enough.
The song ends,and as another begins,a white-haired gentleman with a smile offers me his hand and pulls me onto the floor,waving away my shyness that I’m only a beginner.
Okay.If he can do this,so can I.
I manage to dance well,but whenever he tries to lead me in anything other than the basic steps,I stumble(绊倒).All I can do is smile a lot and apologize even more.
After I’ve said sorry for the tenth time,he laughs and says,“It’s okay.You’re blonde(头发金黄的).”
Do I act blonde?But later,after the shoes have come off and I’m in my own quiet room,his words keep dancing through my head.Blondes are thought to be helpless and shallow.Now I know these features have nothing to do with hair color.Still,something in this idea makes me think more.
Why do I apologize so much?In what ways do I minimize(贬低) myself and my efforts?How seriously do I take myself?
In an effort to answer these questions,I dye my hair brown and begin collecting data.I discover that I feel plainer,and more average with darker hair.I also feel more thoughtful and more sincere.In the words of Oscar Wilde,“Life is too important to be taken seriously.”
I suspect that what I want is not to be taken seriously,but to feel important.I forget about my hair color and focus instead on the ways I matter.And I know which things matter most to me.
Back on the dance floor,the same man invites me again.Three months have passed and I have advanced.I finally know the steps and can hold my own.
“Okay,now you’ve got to work it,”he says.“Give me some attitude.”I smile,not missing a beat.He’s right.This is seriously fun.
( )13.Why does the author stumble while dancing with the man for the first time? A.Because she is too nervous as a beginner. B.Because her heart beats faster than the music. C.Because the man’s steps go beyond the basic ones. D.Because the man’s steps are too fast to follow. ( )14.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The man minimized the author for her being blonde. B.The man fell in love with the author at last.
C.The author is very kind and polite but lacks confidence. D.The author did a lot to improve her dance.
( )15.What does the author want to tell us by writing the passage? A.One should take himself or herself seriously. B.One should not apologize too much while dancing. C.One should pay more attention to his or her hair color. D.One should be more thoughtful and more sincere. Ⅲ.完形填空(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)

Every student will be faced with the question when he passes the college entrance examinations: Should I choose a good major or a good university first? Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in.It will also make it possible for them to take their favorite job in the future. Those who think differently believe that the environment is important to one’s development and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely to find a good job. In my opinion,the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we cannot obtain both, the first thing to consider is a good major, because no matter where we study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best.
