Just at the Eve of my sixth Christmas, I was shocked by my elder brother’s words and rushed to Grandma. She was angry. “No Santa Claus? That’s joking! Santa Claus is alive, and we are all his assistants. ”
Then she led me into Kerby’s General Store and gave me ten dollars, asking me to buy something for someone who needed it. For a few moments I just held that ten-dollar bill, considering what to buy, and who to buy it for. Then I suddenly thought of Bobbie Decker. He sat behind me in my class. He didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out to play during the class break this winter. His mother always said that he had a cough, but we knew that Bobbie didn’t have a cough, but he didn’t have a coat. I would buy him a coat. I chose a red one with a hat.
“Is this a Christmas present for someone?” Mrs. Kerby behind the counter asked me kindly, when I laid my ten dollars down. When I told her shyly it was for Bobbie, the nice lady put the coat in a bag and smiled at me. When Grandma learned how much I paid for the coat, she said something I didn’t understand, “Santa Claus has already had an assistant.”
Today I still remember Bobbie’s excitement and his mother’s tears on receiving the coat. That night, Grandma made me realize that Santa was alive and we were all on his team. 36.

Have you ever stayed up（熬夜）late? If so, you know that not getting enough sleep can leave you tired and grumpy. Not sleeping enough can also make it harder to think clearly the next day.
While you sleep, your brain is busy doing its “homework”. It sorts out information from your day. Getting enough sleep each night can boost（提高）your brainpower. That will help you do your best in school. Experts say that, in return, can lead to better grades.
But in China, more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than before. Most students sleep less than eight hours every night because they have much homework to do. Some homework is given by their teachers, and some by their parents. Also, some students don’t know how to save time. They are not careful enough while they do their homework, so it takes them a lot of time. Some students spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games. They stay up very late. Some students have to get up early every morning on weekdays to get to school on time by bus or by bike. It can be a long way from home to school. It will probably make them sleepy during school hours.
Schools and parents should cut down some of the homework so that our children can enjoy more than eight hours of sleep every night for their health. For children, they should make the best use of their time. When they have enough time for sleeping, they will find it much better for both their study and health.
41. The word “grumpy” in paragraph 1 means ________.
A. can’t think clearly B. easy to become angry. C. very comfortable D. sleepy 42. Why is sleep important?
A. It can improve problem-solving skills and creative thinking. B. It will help you do your best in school.
C. It helps your brain sort out information from your day. D. All of the above.
43. What makes most students sleep less than eight hours every night? A. Watching TV. B. Playing computer games. C. Doing homework. D. Doing housework.
44. What will probably happen to a student who often goes to bed late and gets up early? A. He would fall asleep in class. B. He would do well in study. C. He would finish his homework fast. D. He would have good health. 45. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Too Much Sleep. B. It’s Homework Time. C. Sleep to Succeed. D. Homework Problems.
