One day, when he pulled in his fishing net, he found a bottle inside that looked valuable,15 . But he was also curious to see what was inside, so he took the top off the bottle. Smoke came out of the bottle and then out came a big, powerful genie(怪物).The genie had been in the bottle for 400 years and was very angry. At first, he told the fisherman that he would kill him and the fisherman had to choose how he wanted to be killed. Scared, the fisherman decided to trick the genie. He told him that he did not believe he could fit inside the little bottle because he was so much bigger than it was. 16 . The fisherman told the genie that he had tricked him and then said he would only let the genie out again if the genie promised to help him instead of hurting him.17 . The genie then took the fisherman to a lake where there were many special fish. The fisherman caught four of these fish and the genie told him to take these fish to the king. The fish were special because they could talk! 18 .

Some get rid of nap time. They think time spent sleeping is wasted time. And they feel kids may not really need to nap (午睡) anyway.Ending afternoon naps might be a mistake, though. A new study looked at school nap time. It shows that going without a nap can cause problems for some children. That makes it harder for them to remember what they learn. The new study was done by Rebecca Spencer and Tracy Riggins. Both are scientists who study learning and memory.Children need less sleep as they get older. However, children are not all the same. They stop needing to nap at different ages. Some stop napping every day by age 4. Others still nap daily at age 6. Also, the need to nap doesnt just suddenly disappear, Spencer said. It can come and go as children develop. Children grow very quickly. All that growth can be tiring. Children may be fine without naps at one point. A month later, they may need to take naps again.All children need a good nights sleep in order to remember and learn. However, some children need more sleep than others. To keep what theyve learned, these children need to nap during the day. Nighttime sleep just isnt enough. Riggins and Spencer set out to prove this. They asked children at six preschools to play a memory game. After the children finished the game, some were told to nap. The others were kept from napping. The following morning, the two scientists brought the children back.They wanted to test how much the children remembered from the day before. They found some big differences. Students who were kept awake forgot more than students who had napped.Scientist Peg Oliveira has also studied nap time. She says school naps can be particularly important for kids who might be suffering from (遭受) tough times at home. They often get less sleep at home than other kids. Some do not have their own room. Others may be homeless at times.“Those kids might not be having a solid night of sleep,” Oliveira said. For them, school nap time is extra important.29 .

From the study of Rebecca Spencer and Tracy Riggins, the need to nap depends on Ahow old the children areBchildrens developmentCchildrens sleeping hours at nightDchildrens timetable31 .

Do you know there is such a thing as a banana person? How strange! ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a banana person. A banana is yellow outside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white insidethinking like a Westerner and yellow outsidelooking like a Chinese.Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them dont speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are overseas(海外的) Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood(血统). Their parents, grandparents or even great grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.But they are not Chinese citizens. They are people of the Peoples Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous pop singer Leehom Wang (王力宏). Chinese people love him, especially young people. But he is an American citizen.34 .

More than 200 metres deep, it is one of the largest lakes in the UK. People say a big monster(怪兽) lives in its dark, cold waters.It weighs more than 1, 000 kilos and is at least ten metres long. Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it.The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend(传说). The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twentieth century. In 1933, a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in the middle of the lake. Since then, a number of people have said that they have seen a monster in Loch Ness.Several people have taken photos, but at least one of them was a hoax(骗局). During the 1960s,a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster. There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness, but there is also no fact that one doesnt live. One thing is true about Loch Ness: there are a lot of tourists there.38 .

The fact is that they arent.Some statistics（数据）from the survey done by the European Commission（欧盟委员会）showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. Thats why my people dont think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only an optionat school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why dont students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.Changing the British attitude（态度）to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decided to try!42 . Which of the following about the British people is TRUE?AThey are good language learners.B62% of them speak two or more languages.CMore than half of them only speak English.DThey are famous for speaking foreign languages.43 .

When he passes the test, the Seeing Eye dog will do things by himself. Now he can help the blind people. The new master may be a man, a woman, or even a child.
