You wake up and the weather is all wet. What ...

You wake up and the weather is all wet. What are you going to do today? Here are four ideas to try when it’s raining cats and dogs.

Puppet (木偶) showtime

You can create your own puppets with items your parents already have around the house. First, you’ll need some old socks or brown paper bags. Then get busy decorating them with markers, crayons, glitter, string, ribbons, buttons-even dry macaroni (通心粉)! Give your puppets names and funny voices. You might want to make up a special story for them. To make your show even better, use a cardboard box as a stage.

Build a castle

Ask your parents for some old sheets, blankets, or comforters. Spread them over chairs or other furniture to create a top-secret hideout. Bring a flashlight, a good book to read, and maybe even a snack. And don’t forget to think of a secret password.

Dress-up time

Both boys and girls can have fun trying on old clothes. Ask your parents to let you try on old hats, jewelry, shoes, and clothes. Do you want to be a doctor? You can pretend an old white shirt is a lab coat. Or maybe you see yourself as a movie star.

Say thanks

Birthdays and holidays are chances for us to thank people who love us and take good care of us. But it can be a special treat to get a gift or a card on an ordinary day. Think of the people who make you happy and then come up with a way to show them your care. It might be an aunt, uncle, grandmother, neighbor, or babysitter. It could even be your mom or dad! Use your arts and craft supplies to create a special card. You will be delivering sunshine on a rainy day!

1.What can you do to make your puppet show much better?

A.Creating your puppet by yourself. B.Offering your puppet a good name.

C.Giving a special story for your puppet. D.Using a cardboard box as a stage.

2.According to the passage, which of the following can be used to create a castle?

A.Old sheets, blankets or chairs. B.Old socks or brown paper bags.

C.Markers, crayons or comforters. D.Ribbons, chairs or other furniture.

3.The passage is mainly written to ________.

A.tell us how to keep safe when it rains heavily

B.encourage kids to do some things themselves

C.introduce some ways of making our home beautiful

D.advise us how to make rainy days fun and meaningful

高三英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!

Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.

Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.

When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down.

Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker，or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.

Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to (附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.

2.How can negative people have effect on us?

3.Some negative people base their happiness on _______.

4.According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us, we are advised to ______.

5. What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Are you sick of going to bed late and waking up tired? Then grab your hiking boots and a tent. A new study suggests that a couple days of camping in the great outdoors can reset your circadian (昼夜节律的)clock and help you get more sleep.

The circadian clock, more commonly known as the body clock, is an internal system that tells our bodies when it's time to go to sleep and when it's time to wake up. Scientists track this clock by measuring the amount of melatonin(褪黑激素)circulating in a person’s blood at any given time. In a healthy sleeper, melatonin levels rise a few hours before bedtime, stay high through the night, and then settle back down when it's time to wake up.

In our modern society, however, most of us stay up many hours past sunset and would probably sleep in many hours after sunrise if we could. And the trouble is that your melatonin levels may still be high when your alarm clock goes off in the morning, which leads to grogginess(头晕眼花). It may also have other health consequences as well, such as diabetes(糖尿病), overweight problems and heart disease

Professor Kenneth P. Wright of the University of Colorado in the US wanted to see if our body clocks can be reset by a short stay in nature. His team recruited (招收)14 physically active volunteers in their 20s and 30s. Nine went on a weekend camping trip, while the other five stayed home. At the end of the weekend, the researchers reported that in just two days, the campers' body clocks had shifted so that their melatonin levels began to rise more than an hour earlier than they did before they left on the trip. By contrast, the body clocks of the group that stayed home shifted even later over the course of the weekend. ''This tells us we can reset our clocks fast, '' Wright said.

Therefore, if you want to change your sleep patterns you could try to increase your exposure to natural light during the day and decrease the amount of artificial light you see at night.
