There is an endless supply of stories about sleepwalkers(梦游者). People have been said to climb on roofs, solve mathematical problems, write music, walk through windows, and do murder in their sleep.

In Revere, Massachusetts, a hundred policemen searched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there.

At the University of Lowa, a student was reported to have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night and walking three-quarters of a mile to the Lowa River. He would take a swim and then go back to his room to bed.

An American expert on sleep claims(声称) that he has never seen a sleepwalker. He is said to know more about sleep than any other living man, and during the last thirty-five years he has lost a lot of sleep watching people sleep. He says, “Of course, I know that there are sleepwalkers because I have read about them in the newspapers. But none of my sleepers ever walked, and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment, I doubt whether I would get many takers(应征者).”

Sleepwalking, however, is a scientific reality. It is one of those strange things that sometimes look quite fantastic(奇特的). Doctors say that sleepwalking is much more common than is generally supposed. Many sleepwalkers do not try to find help and their sleepwalking is never recorded.

1.Generally speaking, sleepwalkers are people who __________.

A. do fantastic things during their sleep

B. walk through windows

C. climb on roofs      　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

D. walk in a half-awake state

2.It was reported that a boy ________.

A. was found on a strange sofa, telling how he had got there

B. lost his way five hours after he left home

C. slept in his own room but woke up in a strange room

D. was searched for by policemen when he lost his way

3.There was a college student who got into the habit of _______.

A. walking three-quarters of a mile every day

B. getting up in the middle of the night and walking down to the river

C. swimming in the Lowa River before going to bed

D. walking about before he went to bed

4.Why do people think sleepwalking is nothing but a fantastic thing which doesn’t have any explanation?

A. It is so common that it needn’t be recorded.

B. Scientists take no interest in it.

C. No records about it have been made.

D. Most sleepwalkers do not seek help for their problem.

I have been worrying for weeks now about what to give my mother for Mother's Day. For most people, this is a modest problem, solved by the purchase of a bathrobe or a box of candy. For me, however, Mother's Day represents an annual challenge to do the impossible---find a gift that will make neither Mama nor me feel terrible.

Expensive gifts—which Mama defines as costing over $1. 98—are out, because they make Mama feel terrible. (“This is awful," she says, examining an apron（围裙））. "I feel just terrible. You shouldn't have spent the money on me） Inexpensive presents---under $1. 98---please Mama, but they make me fell terrible. There is always the danger that a gift given to Mama will bounce swiftly back to the giver. If I give her a plant, she cuts off the top for me to take home. If I give her something edible (可使用的），she wants me to stay for lunch and eat it.

Papa, a sensible man, long ago stopped trying to shop for Mama. Instead, on Mother's Day, her birthday, and other appropriate occasions, he writes a short epic poem in which he tells of their meeting, courtship, and marriage. After nearly 30 years of poems, Papa sometimes worries that the edge of his poetic inspiration has dulled, but Mama doesn’t complain. She comes into the room while he is struggling over a gift poem and says, "It doesn’t have to rhyme（押韵）as long as it's from the heart. "

This year, finally, I think I, too, have found a painless gift for Mama. I am going to give her a magazine article, unrhymed but from the heart, in which I wish her “Happy Mother’s Day" and tell her there's nothing Papa or I could ever buy, find, or make her that would be half good enough anyway.

1.The author considers finding a Mother’s Day gift a yearly problem because______________.

A.it is impossible to find a gift B.it represents a modest problem

2.What does the author's mom feel about gifts over $1. 98?

A.They are out. B.They are awful.

C.They cost too much. D.They are from the heart.

3.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

A.The author's mom is picky. B.Giving gifts can be dangerous.

C.Picking gifts might be terrible. D.The author's mom will share the gift.

4.What does the author's Dad do for his mom on various occasions?

A.He composes a poem. B.He writes a love letter.

C.He struggles over a gift. D.He stops to shop for her.

5.What is the best title for this passage?

A.A Loving Daughter B.A Special Mother’s Day Gift

C.How to Pick a Gift for Moms D.What to Do on Mother's Day

I know many people who spend time thinking about all the might-have-beens, what-ifs and opportunities they’ve missed. They spend their lives constantly feeling like they’ve missed out on something big. Their boats have sailed. They’ve missed their one and only opportunity to be rich, famous and do something really amazing.

I know someone who used to enter the same numbers in the lottery every week. One week, she was too busy to get the ticket before the agency closed. And her numbers came up. There were no winners that week and the jackpot money rolled over to the following week: 10 million pounds. She’s never forgiven herself. Since then, she’s lived her life feeling like she’s missed her boat, the only opportunity she’ll ever have to be happy.

I suspect most of us would be pretty upset if that happened to us. Now, the question is, would we allow it to rule the rest of our lives? Or should we consider the possibility that it happened for a reason?

Now, I’ll admit that I’d have a very hard time saying anything along those lines for quite a while if something like that happened to me. But, if I knew that I was putting every effort into being wealthy or happy, then I would also know that just because something didn’t happen the way it ought to happen, everything would still be alright. I will be able to relax and let it go.

Nothing ever happens to me, but everything always happens for me. So long as I’m keeping my eye on my goals, everything that happens is the Universe moving me towards my goals. It’s definitely easier said than done, particularly at first. But it is doable. It’s simply a choice.

You haven’t missed your boat. Your boat is still there. Don’t waste your life crying over someone else’s boat. Step onto your own.

1.When her lottery numbers came up, she wasn’t the winner because _____________.

A.she couldn’t forgive herself B.she was too busy to buy the ticket

C.she forgot the correct numbers D.she has missed her boat

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 suggest?

A.The world can’t change me.

B.I can change the world by working hard.

C.I have never missed any good opportunity.

D.Whatever happens to me is beneficial to me.

3.What’s the best title of the passage?

A.You Can’t Miss Your Boat.

B.You Shouldn’t Often Change Your Goals.

C.You Forgive Yourself as soon as Possible.

D.You Can’t Step onto the Boat that Has Sailed.

A new study（研究）warns that about thirty percent of the world’s people may not have enough water by the year 2025.

A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than three hundred thirty-five million people lack enough water now. The people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.

Population Action International researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three thousand million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet, the amount of water on earth stays the same.

Mr. Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase.

The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which is carried in water. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.

The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water of agriculture.

The report also says long-term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth, It says countries can't provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.

1. According to the writer’s opinion, the first serious problem caused by lack of water is ______.

A. health problem  B. war  C. economy  D. industry

2.Robert Engelman may be _______.

A. an Englishman  B. an American  C. a Japanese  D. an Australian

3.Which of the following is NOT the way to solve the water problem?

A. To control population growth

B. To teach people not to waste water.

C. To find ways to use water for only one purpose.

D. To use less water of agriculture.

4. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. How to get more water in the future.     B. Problems caused by water

C. The Lack of water                    D. A new study of water
