The legend (传说) of the treasure first started in 1795, when a teenager named Daniel McGinnis noticed strange marks on a tree. The marks led him to think a rope had been tied to the tree and used for lowering a weight into a hole. The next day, McGinnis and his friends dug into the ground and uncovered a layer of stones just two feet down. Years later, McGinnis returned with some workers. They found a stone tablet (匾) with symbols that appeared to be a secret code (密码). Those workers continued to dig, but the deep hole filled up with water and they had to give up. According to the legend, the stone tablet was later translated. It is said that a treasure lay 40 feet below it!
Since then, others have taken up the search. Around 1970, a team sent a video camera down into the deep hole, but the images were not clear. Divers also looked for clues (线索), but the water was too dark and cloudy. Maybe one day we will know if the legend of the Oak Island treasure is true.

There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food. Taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of (不管) age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.
The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的). Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure.
Why are so many people sleep-deprived Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as “lazy”. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don’t have much time to sleep. They only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you’ll do.
How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit card (信用卡). When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back.”
For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said, “Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.”
13. The best way to improve health is _________ according to the passage.
A. to sleep eight hours or more every night
B. to take exercise as much as possible
C. to get medical help whenever necessary
14. In the writer’s opinion, less sleep may cause _________ more likely.
① tiredness ② traffic accidents ③ foolishness ④ medical problems
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④
15. What does “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Time. B. Sleep. C. Credit card.
16. The passage mainly tells us _________.
A. some information about credit card
B. how to sleep well
C. the importance of sleep

There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food. Taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of (不管) age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.
The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的). Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure.
Why are so many people sleep-deprived Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as “lazy”. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don’t have much time to sleep. They only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you’ll do.
How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit card (信用卡). When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back.”
For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said, “Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.”
13. The best way to improve health is _________ according to the passage.
A. to sleep eight hours or more every night
B. to take exercise as much as possible
C. to get medical help whenever necessary
14. In the writer’s opinion, less sleep may cause _________ more likely.
① tiredness ② traffic accidents ③ foolishness ④ medical problems
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④

Our team got a good start by beating two strong teams. However, our captain hurt his finger during the third game. He is the brain of our team. When thinking of losing of the center, we were all down and couldn’t pay attention to the next match. Our captain found this and encouraged us to fight on and cheered us up.
With the help of our captain, we played as well as the first two games. Seeing our captain waving his injured finger, we made our biggest efforts in the following games. With the cheers of our students, we won the champion. During the celebrations, we threw our captain into the air.
