As far as I culd tell, there was nly ne prblem with this year’s Super Bwl. The Green Bay Packers weren't green. They were blue. And even thugh I had never befre seen a prfessinal ftball game live and in living clr, I had read enugh frm my subscriptin t Sprts Illustrated t knw that the dark jerseys (运动衫) wrn by the Green Bay Packers were green, nt blue.
“Maybe it's smething special they're ding fr the Super Bwl,” my dad suggested.
“The clrs aren't right, Dad,” I said. “I’m sure f it.”
Eventually Dad agreed. “I'll get a repairman tmrrw,” he said. It was a minr annyance, but it smehw cast a pall ver ur enjyment f the pre-game festivities. This was highly anticipated Super Bwl, and we were watching it n ur super new clr TV. It was suppsed t be super.
Just a few minutes befre kickff, my big brther Bud arrived with Craig, a cllege friend. Craig lked at the TV fr a mment. “I think yur tint (色调) is ff a little,” he said. He reached behind the set and began feeling arund fr buttns. Suddenly ur clr TV was black and white. He reached behind the TV again. He must have fund the right buttn, because a mment later clr was restred — and perfected. The Green Bay Packers were in their traditinal green and gld unifrms. The field was green, the sky was blue and it was a Super Sunday, indeed.
It amazed me then — and ften has since — what a majr difference a minr adjustment can make. A well-placed nail r a tweak (拧) f a buttn frm smene wh knws what they’re ding can change everything. The same principle hlds true in interpersnal matters. While there are sme hurts that cannt be easily repaired, it's amazing hw ften a simple smile, a kind wrd, r a gentle tuch can change ur way f thinking, imprve ur md, and make everything seem, yu knw, super.
4. What des the underlined phrase “cast a pall ver” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Replaced.B. Witnessed.C. Ensured.D. Damaged.
5. What des the authr think f Craig's behavir?
A. It tk t lng.B. It saved much mney.
C. It made matters even wrse.D. It breathed new life int the shw.
6. What des the authr intend t tell us?
A. Always put yurself in thers' shes.B. It is imprtant t learn basic life skills.
C. A small act can make a big difference.D. Learn t smile thrugh life's imperfectins.

American high schl students wh slept less than seven hurs each night during the pandemic were mre likely t struggle in schl. That finding cmes frm a recent study frm the U.S. Centers fr Disease Cntrl and Preventin, r CDC.
Fr the study, the CDC questined 7,705 students abut their sleep schedules and success in schl. Mre than tw-thirds f the students said they experienced mre difficulty in their schlwrk during the pandemic than befre the pandemic. Abut 75 percent f the students did nt sleep enugh during the pandemic, the study fund students wh reprted pr mental health during the pandemic were als mre likely t get less sleep. Overall, 37 percent f the students said they struggled with their mental health during the pandemic. But abut 50 percent f the students wh slept five hurs r less each night said they had pr mental health.
As students recver frm learning lss due t the pandemic, “schls can cnsider including plicies and practices knwn t imprve sleep duratin (持续时间)” the CDC said. Teenagers experience many physical changes when they g thrugh puberty (青春期). A gd sleep schedule can imprve test perfrmance. As children get lder, there is a change in their bdy’s natural clck. Befre puberty, children may feel sleepy arund 8 r 9 at night. But when they becme teenagers, the bdy’s clck changes t make them tied much later arund 10 r 11 at night. Because f this, many teenagers may experience an inability t sleep.
Sme schl systems arund the U.S. are pushing back start times fr high schls s students can get mre sleep. Usually, high schls start the earliest cmpared t middle and primary schls. The Natinal Center fr Educatin Statistics says the average start time fr U.S. high schls is 8 a.m. But the American Academy f Pediatrics recmmends a start time f 8:30. The rganizatin Start Schl Later supprts pushing back schl start times. It says at least 13, 000 schl systems in the United States have pushed back start times.

Scientists Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hbaiter have spent hundreds f hurs interpreting the gestures f humans’ clsest relatives. In a recently published paper, Graham and Hbaiter prvide cnvincing evidence that humans can make a gd guess f the meanings f great ape (猿) gestures.
In the study, 17,000 participants were shwn 20 shrt vides f apes making gestures and asked t decide which f fur pssible answers described each gesture’s meaning. If peple had n idea what the apes were ding, they wuld be right 25 percent f the time by chance. But when watching vides f wild apes raising an arm r striking varius pses, they understd the animals’ language far mre ften than wuld be expected by chance. The average scre was slightly abve 50 percent, a statistically strng result, given the study’s size. The finding suggests that humans still have sme grasp f this ancestral vcabulary.
Why humans may understand the ape gestures remains t be discvered. One pssibility is that all great apes, including humans, inherit (继承) a cmmn set f gestures. Anther is that humans and ther great apes share the ability t use bdy mvements as cmmunicatin tls. A third explanatin is that the similarity in bdy shape amng humans and ther great apes, cmbined with humans’ cgnitive (认知的) abilities, makes it easy fr peple t infer meaning frm ape mvements.
The study itself still has its wn value as a teaching tl. Engaging s many peple with this research has benefits beynd science. It makes us understand that we are s dse t ur clsest relatives. It’s a win fr cnservatin. It’s a win fr shwing hw imprtant it is t keep these guys in ur minds, t prtect them and t save them.
11. Hw did the researches tell whether participants can interpret the ape gestures?
A. By interviewing them.B. By analysing their accuracy rate.
C. By cmparing their vcabularies.D. By bserving their guessing prcess.
12. What des the authr say abut the further value f the study?
A. It bsts the ppularity f the great apes.B. It encurages peple t get clse t nature.
C. It prmtes the prtectin f the great apes.D. It teaches peple t use ape gestures as a tl
13. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Humans Need t Prtect the Great Apes.
B. Humans Need t Understand the Great Apes.
C. Humans Can Use the Ape Gestures t Cmmunicate.
D. Humans Can Cmprehend the Meaning f the Ape Gestures.
