Everybody knows that cats like to sleep. They spend more than half their lives sleeping and enjoy every minute of it. Other animals have different sleeping habits, however. Horses may not look like they are asleep. But they are! Horses spend about six hours sleeping every day and they do it standing up!
Fish also sleep every day but they have a strange(奇怪的) habit. They don’t close their eyes when they are sleeping. When ducks sleep they keep one eye open and half of the brain awake. It helps them stay alert(警觉的) and watch out for dangerous animals.
So what about humans(人类) Well, most people sleep for about a third of their lives. The number of hours you sleep, however, has to do with your age. Most newborn(新生的) babies sleep a lot. They spend about 75% of their time sleeping every day! As you get older, you need less sleep. Children need about eleven hours and adults sleep for eight hours every night.
So, yes, you spend many hours a year doing nothing-sleeping in bed!
But you’re not just asleep-you’re not really doing nothing. Your body and your mind relax during this time, but a lot of things happen during sleep. Dreams are one way that the mind relaxes after a busy day. A person spends about 20% of every night dreaming. That means you have about four or five dreams every night or about 1,600 dreams a year.

A． B． C． D．

Cartoons are quite popular with children. They play an important role in their life. Why
First of all, cartoons are funny. Most people do not want to be bored, especially children. Children always want to do something fun. Children can’t focus(专注) on the things that are hard to do. But, if they watch cartoons, all the children can almost watch them until the end.
Another reason is that children can learn many things from cartoons easily. Some children hate boring knowledge in books. But cartoons are different. They can make children learn a lot with fun. For example, the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants tells children a lot about the sea.
The last reason is that cartoons are fantastical. Sometimes, everybody wants to escape (逃离) from the real world. They think that their dreams are coming true by watching cartoons. So, many boys like watching Superman because they always imagine they can fly. Or they would like to be a “Spider man” to save people in danger.
Cartoons are important to children. It will be better if there are more educational (有教育意义的）cartoons for children.
( )23. Which cartoon can help children know about the sea
A．Superman B．Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck
C．Spider-Man D．SpongeBob SquarePants
( )24. What does the underlined word “fantastical” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．unreal. B．awful C．serious. D．traditional.
( )25. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
( )26．What can we get from the passage
A．Children only like watching cartoons.
B．Parents should not stop children watching cartoons.

D．Children should watch more cartoons to improve themselves.
