I anxiously brought it home and immediately took a trip out to the chicken house to deliver(递送) it. I knew the girls would welcome the treat!My chickens have their regular gravity-type feeder for their grain(谷物), and I have a large plastic dog dish that I use for those special treats.I emptied the bag of greens into the dog dish and stood back, as I usually do, to watch for a minute. I began to notice that the chickens were eating the green lettuce（莴苣）but were leaving the red leaves. I though it must be mistaken, but I didnt have time to find out for sure right then.When I went back a short time later, the dish was empty except for the red leaves. The chickens didnt eat them with the red leaves. It took several hours, but they finally did eat it. I guess if they had their druthers(偏爱), theyd choose for green leaves only. Red leaves only satisfy in the absence of greens.（1）The word “girls” in the second paragraph means “_” A . chickensB . greensC . colors（2）What was used to feed the chicken as the special treat? A .

But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you!Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a tree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger, they just fly away.A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe.Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducks in the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed.Seals breathe air, but that doesnt stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep underwater helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface.Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they dont fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing.A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg locks so it stays straight. The other leg remains close to the flamingos body. Its head rests on its back. A flamingo lives (and sleeps) near many other birds to stay safe.Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air. They fly for many hours without flapping（拍打）their wings. Sometimes they sleep while they are flying.Would you like to sleep how they sleep?（1）The animals that sleep with half their brains are _.A . ducks and sealsB . dolphins and ducksC . bats and dolphinsD . flamingos and seabirds（2）Horses often stand up when they sleep because _.A . they can run from danger quicklyB . they are afraid of falling overC . this helps them to sleep deeplyD . it takes them a long time to go to sleep（3）The underlined word hunt in Paragraph 5 probably means _.A . offer to helpB . come to teachC . refuse to protectD . want to kill（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A . How animals sleepB . Sleep to stay healthyC . Sleep as animals doD . What sleeping animals are like15. （4分）根据短文理解，判断正误。Be an OriginalIts said that we human beings are the only creatures who refuse to be what we are. One writer said, “When people are free to do what they want, they usually copy each other.” Yet nobody can be you as well as you can. Every successful person becomes successful because he or she discovered and developed his or her own special abilities. As a guy said, “One of the hardest things about climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd of copies at the bottom.”So remember you are a specialist. Youre not made to be all things to all people. Surveys have shown that usually about 20 percent of all the people who know you dont really like you that much. You just cant please all the people all the time! So dont try to have peace at all costs, especially at the cost of your own success. “Dont stay where youre tolerated (忍受), go where youre celebrated!” Be yourself. Be an original (有独创性的人)! You really are one-of-a-kind. Youre the first and last person who will ever be exactly like you.Do you know that over 90 percent of all flowers have no smell at all? Its the ones with a sweet fragrance (香味) and smell that we remember. So dont be afraid to be different, if it means being yourself. We are like rivers, “If we follow the easy path of least resistance, it will make us crooked (弯曲).” So dont follow where the path may lead, go where there is no path and leave your own trail. “Youre born an original, dont die a copy!” Too many people are like the living dead, theyve buried their real talents and abilities.（1）There are a lot of people who are exactly like you according to the writer of the passage.（2）The underlined phrase “one-of-a-kind” means “和大家一样的” in Chinese.16. （11分）阅读理解 O.
