When people talk about smart work and hard work, they usually wonder which one is more important. In fact, smart work is more important. But working smartly is very hard. This is not a word play. It is not easy to be smart.
What is “smartness”
People are smart when they can find out a way to bring more results with less effort(努力). If you can achieve the same results without putting in a lot of work, you are smart. The person pushing the vehicle
（车辆） is smart, because he is using the knowledge and wisdom(智慧) , and the hard work of some other people.
55
Creating that wheel isn’t easy. It needs a great thinker, followed by an engineer’s hard work. It then needed a handyman(杂活工). Only then does it become easier to push the material using the machine. So, smart work is not easy at all.
Besides, being smart takes a lot of effort. People need to read more, keep learning new things, try to learn from others’ experiences and sharpen their thinking skills. They need to predict the results before putting any effort in any direction, and being able to manipulate the given resources(资源) to meet their needs.
Human beings are smart. The human history shows our smartness. We don’t need to go hunting for our food anymore, because we were smart enough to find out that farming could bring much more food with much less effort. We then developed modern tools for farming.
Humans also invented the Internet, the wheel, clothes, the smart phones—all the tools that help us to work smartly. All of this is hard, but that hard work makes us smart. Because of smartness, we are much better off today in terms of happiness and richness.
So remember: Work hard to become a smart person.
Which of the following is the example of smartness
People go hunting for food. B. People read many books.
C. People use vehicles to carry things. D. People talk to others with body language.
Which of the following can be put in the blank（空白处）
When can we work smartly B. How can we work smartly
C. Why do we need to work smartly D. Where can we work smartly
The underlined word “manipulate” in the fourth paragraph means .
to make use of B. to find out C. to ask for D. to think about
What is the best title for the passage
How to Be Smart B. What Is Smartness
C. When to Work Hard D. Hard Work Smart Work!
C
I hurried into the local store to get some last-minute Christmas gifts. Surprised at the prices of the toys, I wondered if the grandkids would even play with them.
In the doll aisle (通道) , I saw a little boy about 5 holding a lovely doll. He kept touching her hair and held her gently. He counted his money with his aunt but found out it was not enough. Then his aunt asked the boy to wait and left.
Then I talked to him and knew the doll was for his sister who was in heaven(天堂) because of a car accident. His mother was going to be with her so he hoped his mother could take the doll to her. He also wanted his mother to take his photo with her so she wouldn’t ever forget him. He said he hoped to buy a white rose as well because mom loves white roses very much.
My heart nearly stopped beating. Noticing my sadness, the boy lowered his head and stopped talking. I reached into my purse and pulled out some bills and asked, “Shall we count your money again ” He grew excited and said, “Yes, I just knew it had to be enough”. Quietly I put my money in with his and we began to count it. Of course, it was more than enough for the doll. He bought both the doll and a white rose. It
was a great relief (宽慰) to find the smile on his face.
Two days later I read in the newspaper about a drunk driver hitting a car and killing a little girl and the mother. In the photo, the mother was holding a lovely white rose, the beautiful doll, and the picture of the little boy in the store.
The love that little boy had for his little sister and his mother was touching. I realized “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
58．How did the boy manage to buy the doll
A．The writer gave active help to him. B．His aunt bought it for him. C．He borrowed money from the writer. D．He had enough money himself.
59．What can you learn from the passage
A．The boy’s aunt didn’t want to buyyhjm the doll. B．The writer bought a doll and a rose for the boy. C．The writer visited the boy after he knew the story. D．The boy’s sister and mother died in a car accident.
60. Which of the following is the correct order of the story
① A little boy wanted to buy gifts for his mother and sister.
② I helped the boy by quietly putting my money in with his.
③ The boy bought both the doll and a white rose.
④ A car accident happened.
A.①-②-③-④ B.①-②-④-③ C. ④-①-②-③ D. ④-①-③-②
61．What does the writer want to tell us
A．Love from mothers is touching. B．Giving helps us have a meaningful life. C．Money is very important in life. D．Driving after drinking is dangerous.

Did you have any interesting dreams last night
Our dreams come from a part of the brain that contains our thoughts and memories. A person can have up to six dreams a night, and each dream usually lasts from 10 to 40 minutes. Everyone dreams, but not everyone remembers their dreams. Most people dream in color, usually with sound. And we usually dream about ourselves and the people we know.
Why do we dream
Alan Siegel is a scientist who studies dreams. “Dreams help us get in touch with our deeper feelings.” he says. “They can tell us a lot about ourselves and help us understand problems.” Another scientist, Robert Stickgold, thinks dreams come from our memories. He believes we dream to remember, because memories are useful to the brain. Stickgold says the purpose of dreaming through these memories is to help us learn from the past.
Here are a few kinds of dreams and what people think they mean.
Dream 1: You Meet Someone While in Your Pajamas
Sometimes people dream that they meet someone they know while wearing their pajamas! This dream may be the result of an embarrassing (尴尬的) event in your life. Some people think we dream about embarrassing situations if our brains are trying to deal with an event in our own lives.
Dream 2: You’re Flying
If you dream about flying, you are probably quite happy. This is a good period in your life. You may feel that other people see you as a leader.
Dream 3: You Didn’t Study for a Test
This probably means you are worried about an important event coming in your life. If you’re not prepared for the event, your dream may be telling you, “It’s time to get to work!”
Dream 4: Someone’s Running after You
If you dream someone is running after you, it may tell you should face the problems in your life instead of giving it up.
Robert Stickgold believes that dreams .
usually last from 10 to 40 minutes B. help us understand our problems
C. help us learn from the past memories D. can tell us a lot about ourselves
If someone says, “The concert is tomorrow, and I haven’t had time to practice!” Which dream might they have
Dream 1: You Meet Someone While in Your Pajamas
Dream 2: You’re Flying
Dream 3: You Didn’t Study for a Test
Dream 4: Someone’s Running after You
What is the right mind map of the passage
A. B.
C. D.
What is the passage mainly about
A person can have up to six dreams a night.
Dreams come from only one part of the brain.
Everyone has dreams, but not everyone remembers them.
Dreams can help us to understand our feelings and problems.

the wild goats away.
Then when my crop bore its fruit, the birds discovered it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them but as soon as I walked away, they came back. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would serve as the scarecrows, which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat.
With my new grain to store, I found a new problem. The fine grain ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to form and dry two ugly pots – one for rice and one for wheat.
Next, I formed a clay oven and made some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake bread. I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.
Soon after that, I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore the island by sea.
I tried to turn over the ship’s boat that I had seen washed up, but failed. I was still determined to have a boat, so I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat.
When it was time to launch, I realized I had my boat too far from the nearest stream. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years of constant（不断的）labor.
I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey.
Why did Robinson kill some birds and hang them among the crops
What was “a new problem”
Why did Robinson give up bringing the water to the boat
How long did Robinson stay on this island
Was there any hope for him to leave the island and go back home
