The first beggar whispered to the second with , “He’s coming our way!” The two tried not to look at the man as he stepped closer to them, but they couldn’t gazing up with anticipation he reached into his pocket and took something out. “Thunk” was the only sound they heard as what looked like a piece of hard , wrapped in tissue paper hit each of their waiting hats.

There’s no way we can even eat this—we have no .” He picked up the object and threw it into the gutter. “I haven’t had anything like this for ages,” the second beggar thought. “I can’t chew it, but I can suck on it , and the sugary juices will stay in my for a long time.

Thanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing. Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic. The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food. In time, other colonies（殖民地）began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed（宣布）the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving. Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October. 1.Thanksgiving Day is celebrated . A. in spring B.in summer C. in autumn D. in winter 2.The first to celebrate thanksgiving were . A. some people from England B. the American Indians C. Sarah Josepha Hale D. Governor Bradford 3.We can infer from the passage that New England must be . A. in the U. S. A. B. in Great Britain C. in Canada D. on some island off the Atlantic 4.The passage mainly tells us . A. how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U. S. A. B. how Thanksgiving Day came into being and the different ways it is celebrated C. that Thanksgiving Day is in fact a harvest holiday D. how the way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day changed with the time and places

It is not unusual to see your desk-mate yawn (打呵欠) as he complains that he didn't have a good sleep the night before. Many teens don't get enough sleep because they have too much homework, which keeps them up at night. Some teens cannot sleep at night even when they want to. Studies show that during your teenage years, the body's biological clock is reset, telling you to sleep later at night and wake up later in the morning. But changes in the body clock aren't the only reason teens lose sleep. Lots of people have insomnia (失眠). The most common cause of insomnia is stress. But all sorts of things can lead to insomnia. These include physical discomfort, emotional troubles and even sleeping environment. It's common for everyone to have insomnia from time to time. But if it lasts for a month or more go and see a doctor. Some people have a condition that causes stomach acid (酸) to move backward towards the chest. This produces the uncomfortable, burning feeling called heartburn. So even if the person doesn't notice the feelings of heartburn because he is sleeping, he may feel tired the next day. Most teens have nightmares sometimes. But, if they are frequent, a person's sleep pattern can be seriously affected. The most common cause of nightmares is emotional problems, such as stress (压力) or anxiety. If you have them a lot, it's a good idea to talk to a doctor. Doctors encourage teens to make lifestyle changes to develop good sleeping habits.

Have you ever dreamed of visiting a planet in the Milk Way? While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination. So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut-eye. They would have to sleep for years. European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments. The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a space flight to distant planets. "If there was an effective technology, it could make deep-space travel a reality," said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month. What seems like science fiction is not completely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep-like state where they don't age. They have now moved on to small, non-hibernating mammals like rats. The results will be out by the end of 2004. A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body organs are far more complex. "It's like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer," said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italy's University of Pavia. Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a person's metabolism (新陈代谢) to lower so they would need less energy. Medical research, however, is just half of a space flight hibernation system. There is the challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter. Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor (监控) life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator. According to Ayre, the six-person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiter's moon (木星的卫星) Callisto, could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six humans on a five-year flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045. 1.European researchers are conducting hibernation experiments to ________. A. ensure astronauts to get a complete sleep B. find the secret of some creatures C. make preparations for the journey to Jupiter’s moon Callisto D. know if man can sleep for years 2.The sentence “What seems like science fiction is not completely unlikely” means ______. A. Science fiction is people’s imagination. B. Science fiction is imaginative, but it can be realized. C. Things seem impossible may come true. D. Things described in science fiction are sure to become true. 3.The passage implies that ________. A. putting living cells into a sleep-like state is full of failure B. Biggiogera is confident with the experiment C. human’s hibernation needs no energy D. medical research is the key to space flight hibernation system 4.What’s the best title for the passage? A. Six humans to fly to Callisto B. Human hibernation improves health C. Space travel attracts people D. Deep sleep for deep space travel

根据短文内容， 从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括出每段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余项。(E=A+B; F=A+C;) A. Make posters and signs catchy and helpful B. Build your network and remind them to vote C. Be confident in yourself all the time D. Give a great speech with full preparations E. You can win as long as you try your best F. Determine your issues and keep your promises How to convince your fellow students to vote for you in an election? 1._________________________________________ Think about why you want to run and what you want to do if you win. These are your issues. Then let people know what you will do if elected. When you do this, be careful not to make promises you can’t keep. Make sure your issues affect all students. If you promise to try to get the whole school painted your favourite color, students probably won’t vote for you. But, if you promise to get rid of that yucky(令人反感的)lunch menu item that no one likes, or raise money for more computers in the library, students will see that you are interested in things they care about, and they’ll vote for you. 2.____________________________________________ Keep it short, simple, and interesting, and students will remember you. Start by writing down your issues and the reasons you think you’re a good person for the job. This is the heart of the speech and will convince other students to vote for you. Start with a story to get people listening and then move on to your issues. Practice your speech so you get used to it, and you won’t be as nervous. Ask your parents or friends to listen a couple of times before the big day. When the time comes to give your speech, relax. You’ll be ready and the other students will notice. 3._____________________________________________ One of the best ways to get people to vote for you is to talk to them about it. Ask your friends to help. In many elections, people don’t vote at all. If you take the time to talk to them ,and remind them to vote, you’ll increase your chances of winning. Remind them why you’re running, and why they should vote for you. They’ll appreciate that you took the time to talk to them in person. And they’ll probably remember your name on the ballot(选票)! 4._____________________________________________ When you make your campaign posters, use a catchy slogan that helps other students remember your name. It can help you win votes. If you have trouble coming up with a catchy slogan, try searching the Internet. Don’t depend solely on posters. Your fellow students have to know why you’re running, and that’s why your speech and networking are so important. 5._______________________________________________ If you keep these things in mind, you can win your election. Just remember that you have to be prepared to work hard to help your fellow students improve your school.
