Everybody sleeps, but what people stay up late to catch—or wake up early in order not to miss—varies by culture. From data collected, it seems the things that cause us to lose the most sleep, on average, are sporting events, time changes, and holidays.

Around the world, people changed sleep patterns thanks to the start or end of daylight savings time. Russians, for example, began to wake up about a half-hour later each day after President Vladimir Putin shifted the country permanently to “winter time” starting on October 26.

Russia’s other late nights and early mornings generally correspond to public holidays. On New Year’s Eve, Russians have the world’s latest bedtime, hitting the hay at around 3:30 am.

Russians also get up an hour later on International Women’s Day, the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.

　　Similarly, Americans’ late nights late mornings, and longest sleeps fall on three-day weekends.

　　Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey (冰球) final.

　　The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation (剥夺). The worst night for sleep in the U.K. was the night of the England-Italy match on June 14. Brits stayed up a half-hour later to watch it, and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summer nights, the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime. That was nothing, though, compared to Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup.

It should be made clear that not everyone has a device to record their sleep patterns, and in some of these nations, it’s likely that only the richest people do. And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person. Even if that’s the case, though, the above findings are still striking. If the most health-conscious among us have such deep swings in our shut-eye levels throughout the year, how much sleep are the rest of us losing?

答案:"AI参考:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Russians wake up earlier than Americans on New Years Day. B. People in different countries have different sleep patterns. C. People in different countries have the same sleep patterns. D. The most health-conscious among us have less sleep than the average person. 正确答案是：B. People in different countries have different sleep patterns. 文章中提到，不同的国家睡眠模式不同，根据数据收集，平均来说，导致我们失去最多睡眠的是体育赛事、时间变化和假期。因此，不同国家的人有不同的睡眠模式。所以选项B是正确的。选项A和C与文章内容不符，选项D没有在文章中提到。"

In 19th- and 20th- century Britain the experience of homesickness began at an even earlier age, when sons of the aristocracy were torn from the family hearth and sent to boarding school at the age of seven. Even today there are stories of boys in school dormitories crying themselves to sleep for want of a mother’s hug, boys who then grew up to be heartless politicians and ruthless captains of industry. Nowadays, homesickness is usually first experienced when teenagers leave home and go to college. Students are even cautioned not to contact their parents too often during the first few weeks, in order to avoid provoking too much attachment.

So is homesickness just associated with a lack of maturity? In fact, literary references to homesickness can be found in Homer’s Odyssey. The modern term was coined in the 17th century to describe the feelings of Swiss mercenaries who missed their homeland while fighting elsewhere in Europe. They were even banned from singing Swiss songs, which were considered a threat to their skills and courage. It used to be seen as a dangerous disease that people could die from.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, it was considered virtuous to miss your home, especially for women. During the Civil War, soldiers who showed symptoms of combat stress were diagnosed as suffering from “nostalgia”, or severe homesickness. Immigrants still create and live in their own communities, to cope with their homesickness.

But in recent years, we’ve been more willing to talk about it. They reveal how favorite pieces of music or food can launch them into floods of tears. For professional exiles, homesickness is acknowledged as part of culture shock, a stage everyone goes through sooner or later after the initial enthusiasm for one’s new surroundings. Acknowledging that one is homesick may help avoid the risk of anxiety and depression.

Homesickness is both a painful longing to be back home, and an extremely common occurrence. It’s not immature or something to be ashamed of. Maybe, just maybe, it’s when your parents die that you make your own home, that you no longer have to suppress your feelings of homesickness. Can you finally indulge in your strong feelings for your own home?

答案:"AI参考:Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage? A. Homesickness is a painful longing to be back home. B. Homesickness is associated with a lack of maturity. C. Homesickness is a universal emotion that everyone experiences. D. Homesickness is an emotion that people often suppress. 正确答案是：C. Homesickness is a universal emotion that everyone experiences. 文章主要讲述了人们对乡愁的认识和感受，强调乡愁是一种普遍的情感，每个人都会经历，无需羞愧或抑制。因此，选项C“乡愁是一种普遍的情感，每个人都会经历”最能概括文章主旨。选项A和B都过于片面，只涉及了乡愁的一部分含义；选项D则与文章内容不符。因此，正确答案是C。"

7.下列搭配对应正确的是_____。（）
A:Curtain call（谢幕） B:Black tea（红茶） C:Back number（最后一位） D:Own goal（乌龙球）
答案:AI参考:正确选项为：D: Own goal（乌龙球）。\n\n选项A、B、C的搭配都不正确。Curtain call（谢幕）通常指的是演出结束时的掌声，而不是指某个动作或行为；Black tea（红茶）是一种茶叶的种类，而不是一个搭配；Back number（最后一位）通常指的是比赛或比赛中的最后一名，而不是一个搭配。因此，只有选项D的搭配是正确的，即Own goal（乌龙球）指的是足球比赛中本方球员将球误打入自家球门的情况。'
