Then it broke top of the water. Jonsai gasped (喘气).It was a turtle.Jonsai rubbed (揉) his eyes, thinking that the sun had weakened then. It was not unusual to find turtles feeding near the edge of the reef (暗礁).But this was not an ordinary turtle. Nor was it a mirage (海市蜃楼). It stayed there on the surface, as white as foam or bone or sundried coral, and shining like an oyster (牡蛎) shell.The creature stayed still for some time. So did the boy. Leaning forward, he stared without moving, disbelief giving way to a small fear. His heart flopped against his ribs like a dying fish.There was no such thing as a white turtle!His mind moved first. Tonight the men would return from the pit hunt. Samu and Aesake would be at the feast (盛筵) with the men. He, Jonsai, would have to sit with the women and children. But what would happen if, at the height of the feasting, Jonsai brought forward a gift for Chief Vueti, something he had never seen before, a present that would make him the envy of every chief on the islands?1. Jonsai was surprised when he first saw the turtle because the turtle _.A. looked different from other turtles he had seenB. moved very slowly through the waterC. was feeding too close to the reefD. was not afraid of him2.

The key to your problem is that long nap (打盹；小睡) after dinner. If you didnt sleep for hours during the early part of the evening, you would be more ready to sleep at bedtime. If you didnt nap after dinner, you would not want to stay up so late, and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping pill. The pill is still working in your system when you get up in the morning. This helps account for the fact that you feel tired all day.You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal, engage in some sort of physical activitya sport such as bowling, perhaps. Or get together with friends for an evening of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier, and you should be able to get a good nights rest without taking a pill.If you can get into the habit of spending your evenings this way, I am sure you will feel less tired during the day. At first it may be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy. If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later, get up but do not take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and make yourself a few hours sleep that night, you will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill. The next night you will be ready to sleep at an earlier hour.The most important thing is to avoid taking that nap right after dinner and avoid taking pills.6. According to the writer, it is difficult for you to go to sleep because .A. you get the habit of staying up lateB. you havent taken sleeping pillsC. you sleep for hours after dinnerD. you fail to do some exercises7.

Stay with friends after dinner.D. Do some physical labor.8.

Food is necessary at night if you fail to go to sleep.D. It is very important to get out of the habit of taking a nap after dinner.10. We may infer that the author is most probably a . A. doctor B. reporter C. scientist D. professorCThe most common form of public transportation is the buses. They provide transportation service on innumerable routes from the city center to the suburbs and even to contry that surround the city. Also, special buses can be chartered for trips to the mountains, to lakes, and to nearby places of historical interest. In some cities, the city bus system offers free “mini-bus” service as a convenience to shoppers in the downtown business district.Subways are mostly found in larger cities, such as New York, London, Tokyo, Paris and so on. The subway is an underground system of high-speed trains. The worlds first system was built in London, and trains have been operating there since 1890. Subway trains move more quickly and efficiently than buses. They, too, are inexpensive and help solve city traffic problems. The one drawback of subway trains is that they are often crowded and noisy.Taxicabs are more expensive than buses or subways, but they will deliver you to the exact location you want in the shortest time possibly. Taxis are convenient if you are in a hurry or if you are taking a number of suitcases or packages.If you ever visit a major city in another country, you will probably have no trouble getting around. You will quickly find out about city bus routes and schedules, about crowds on subway trains, and about the scarcity of taxis when you are trying to find one during rush hours. Like many people, of course, you may come to the conclusion that the most inexpensive and reliable form of transportation will be your own two legs!11.

It means that this kind of bus is very small.D. It means that this is a special kind of bus for shoppers to carry goods.14.

In 1948 they owned a restaurant in California. They liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers ordering so many different things to eat.“If we gave customers a smaller menu, we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldnt have to wait so long for their meals,” said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “And if we made the customers come to the counter (柜台), we wouldnt need any waiters or waitresses. We could also use plastic plates so there wouldnt be any washing-up.”These were such good ideas that McDonald brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased.
