Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for fast eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people suggest breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.61.

A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the determination to succeed (成功) is an important quality (品質(zhì)). Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will achieve nothing. It is usual for us to fail when we try something new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lessons we have learned are wasted.Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence (自信), and this confidence can help us succeed in other fields of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt (懷疑) our abilities.In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of achieving our goals any more, but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.Topic: Never 71._ UpPossible meanings and the authors opinions The words “Never give up” can 72._ others or oneself and express ones determination. A person who wants to 73._ should have the quality. So we should never give up.The 74._for never giving up If we give up too easily, maybe we will achieve 75._, so if we fail when we try something new, we should not feel 76._ , but try again. Always giving up means that we will not be able to 77._ any progress. Never giving up will make us learn from the mistakes weve made before and learn the 78._ in order not to make the same mistakes. To reach our goals and develop the 79._ which can help us improve ourselves, we must not give up but challenge ourselves.ConclusionIf you give up, you will have no 80._of reaching your goals. Never give up and you will achieve your goals sooner or later.Part Writing （30 marks）Section A（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage.
