It was the old lady's birthday. She put on her favorite blue dress and got up early to wait for the postman. Today she was sure there would be something. Myra wouldn't forget her mother's birthday, even if she hardly wrote to her.

The old lady was eighty today. Perhaps Myra might come. After all, eighty was a special birthday. Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. She was excited—like a child.

The little boy, Johnnie, said he wouldn’t go out to play until the post came. "I guess you'll get lots of presents," he said, "I did when I was six."

Finally, the postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Johnnie ran to him at once. "Granny," he shouted, "I've got your post."

"Just post ? No parcel (包裹), Johnnie?" Her heart beat fast.

"No, granny. Maybe the parcel was pretty large to come by letter post. It would come later by parcel post. You must be patient."

She tore the envelope open. It was a card with a message under the printed Happy Birthday—Buy yourself something nice with the check, Myra.

A big number is in the check! But with shaking fingers she tore the check into little bits. The pieces flied to the floor like a bird with broken wings. Her present, her lovely present.

Then he told me he has lots of tattoos. He has tattoos on his arms, legs, chest and back. So of course I asked him lots of questions about the tattoos!

“It was ten years ago,” he said, “I remember I was on an island in the middle of the sea. I chose a dolphin tattoo because I wanted to have something about the sea.”

“I liked the idea of doing more designs about the sea. So after the dolphin I had an octopus, and then a starfish. These are on my left leg. Then, over my left arm I had lots of fish swimming together. They took a long time to do. I also have a crab and a lobster too!”

“Most recently I got a mermaid. It was finished two weeks ago. I saw a painting of a beautiful mermaid in a museum. I took a photograph and then decided to get a tattoo. I made the design a little simpler.”

“People ask me if getting a tattoo hurts. It depends. If you feel relaxed then it’s OK. But if you’re tired or nervous then you feel it more. It also depends where on the body the tattoo is done.”

1.Where did the writer find the tattoo?

A. On Mike’s sleeves.   B. On Mike’s arms.  C. On Mike’s body.

2. When was the mermaid done?

A. Ten years ago.   B. Last Sunday.   C. Two weeks ago.

If you've ever stayed up late and then got up early the next day, you know what it's like to not get enough sleep. It's a very uncomfortable feeling. In fact, scientists have long believed that sleep is like food ——if we don't get enough of it, we might get sick or even die. But now they are starting to wonder just how much sleep we need.

Researchers from London recently did a study on fruit flies （果蝇）. They found that flies that slept for very short periods of time —— about 72minutes a day —— still lived about as long as flies that slept for longer time. One of the flies slept for just 4 minutes each day. This has led the researchers to wonder if sleep is less necessary than we thought before.

Humans are very different from fruit flies. Sleep is when our bodies do a lot of work, for example, repairing tissue（组织）and growing muscle （肌肉）.Sleeping allows our bodies to get a good rest.

But can we really die from not sleeping? No human has died so far from staying awake for too long. The world record for sleeplessness is held by Randy Gardner from the US, who stayed awake for 11 days and 24 minutes in 1964. However, Gardner did experience serious side effects （副作用）.

Scientists have not yet found any animals that don't sleep at all. Even animals that only sleep for short periods are not completely sleepless. This suggests that a short sleep is necessary, even in short-sleeping animals, according to a German scientist.

1.What does the study on fruit flies show?

A.Fruit flies sleep less than humans do.

B.Flies need 72 minutes of sleep every day.

C.Sleep is as necessary for animals as it is for humans.

D.Getting less sleep doesn't seem to influence how long flies live.

2.The purpose of Paragraph 3 is to________.

A.describe how much sleep humans need B.explain why sleep is important to humans

C.list the differences between humans and flies D.show the similarities between flies and humans

3.What do we know from the passage?

A.Sleep may not be so important as we think it is. B.Humans need more sleep than animals.

C.Sleeplessness can lead to death. D.Not all animals need sleep.

4.What’s the best title for the passage?

A.How Much Sleep? B.Die Without Sleep.

C.Wonders of Nature. D.Get Enough Sleep.

One afternoon I decided to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early, so I stopped my car by a small park, and _________for her. When I looked out of the car window, I saw a little boy, about two years old on the grass. His mother watched him _______freely from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some a prison. Suddenly the boy fell down on the grass, then______up without looking back at his mother. Again with a smile on his face, he still ran as ________as he could as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, I thought to myself, “Why aren’t most adults like this way?” Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even have a second try. They would be so _______ that they would not try again if someone saw them fall .Or, because they fall, they would find a good _______ for themselves. They would _______trying again for fear of failure.

However, for kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a _______experience. They try again and again _______they succeed .The answer must be that they have not connected“falling down” with the word “failure”. Besides, they probably think to themselves that it’s quite normal to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make _______, so they remain energetic.

I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence (坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.

1.A.looked B.cared C.bought D.waited

2.A.running B.to run C.ran D.runing
