"Go west, young man" is a famous piece of advice given by the editor of an Indiana newspaper
in 1851. This was a time when America was expanding towards the west. White Americans had
already been exploring there for many years. Among the first were two men called Lewis and
Clark, who had gone west in 1804. They were looking for a waterway that went all the way to the
west coast. This was the so-called "northwest passage," and finding it was the goal of many
explorers in those days. The route did not exist, but the maps and notes Lewis and Clark brought
back in 1806 told people much about the American west.

 In 1846, the United States took control of Oregon, and the nation stretched all the way between
two oceans for the first time. On January 24, 1848, Mexico signed an agreement giving California

Doctors think better sleep patterns are the key to improving the behavior and learning abilities
of teenagers. In Scotland, an organization called "Sleep Scotland" certainly seems to agree. Its
mission is to offer free classes to young people and their parents to teach them how to enjoy a good
night's sleep and deal with sleep-related problems.
Sleep Scotland provides special sleep classes at three schools so far. The classes are given as
workshops for groups of twenty high school students. There are after-school classes for parents
and teachers as well, so that they can learn how to help teenagers sleep better. According to Sleep
Scotland, just two classes would be enough for parents to advise their children on how to improve
their sleeping habits.
One of the suggestions in the sleep classes is having a bedroom free from computers, TVs and
other media. Also, teenagers should avoid stimulating activities late in the evening, restricting
homework, exercise and computer games to the early evening. The hour before bedtime should be
for showering and then relaxing, which means listening to music or reading a book. Teenagers
should also avoid things like caffeine and chocolate before bedtime, and drink warm milk instead.
56. What does the organization Sleep Scotland believe?
(A) Teenagers behave better if they sleep well.
(B) Sleep has no effect on teenagers' behavior.
(C) It is impossible to make teenagers learn better.
(D) Parents should not tell teenagers when to sleep.

(A) teenagers (B) governments (C) parents (D) teachers

(A) Special schools for teenagers with problems.

(D) Classes for parents after school hours.
59. Parents will be able to help their children sleep better just by _______.
(A) putting a computer in their room
(B) observing their classes in school
(C) attending a couple of special classes
(D) giving them stimulating activities to do
