Cats are creatures of habit. They like to go to sleep about the same time every day and for a certain length of time. They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep.
Cats increase their regular sleep with occasional cat naps(打盹). Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit. Cat naps help to build up energy in the body. They are also a good way to get rid of trouble ! Since cats have the same moods(情绪)as humans. some experts believe that people can improve their moods. People might become happier.
A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day. The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes.
Winston Churchill took cat naps. So did Presidents Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson. These famous men were known for their energy. They were also able to work long hours, often into the night. Napping was their secret.
Perhaps more people could learn from cats and take naps to feel better and live longer!

What do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out A dentist(牙医)may be able to put the tooth back in for you .But you have to get to the dentist first .In the meantime ,you have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy.
The simplest thing to do is to put the tooth into your mouth , or you could put it in milk .Frank Courts ,a dentist at the University of Florida ,worked with other researchers to find the safest way of keeping knocked-out teeth .He tried putting teeth into milk ,into water ,and into cell-culture medium(细胞培养液).He also tried just drying the teeth in the open air .He used teeth that had to be removed from people’s mouths for various reasons .The teeth were put into one of the solutions (溶液)or stored in the air for one hour .Then cells from the foot of the teeth were scraped(擦)off the teeth .Dr Coourts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were .
The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth .However ,few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school .The next best thing was milk .But Dr Courts said that the best thing of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into it socket(牙槽)in the mouth .For some people ,though ,this is just too painful or upsetting .So milk will do ,until you get your tooth (and your mouth)to a dentist .
60.This passage is mainly about .
A.how a dentist can save a knocked-out tooth
B.how to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy
C.how Dr Courts and other researchers made their experiments

A.cheapest and healthiest B.least painful and cheapest
C.quickest and least painful D.easiest and healthiest

Online Communication
In an age when technology moves faster than most can keep up with, a small group of people still remain in the time of old-fashioned letters. Frankly speaking, I was once certain that traditional letters could never be replaced by other means of communication.
But a story about online communication changed my mind.
An old man, who suffered a lot from Parkinson's disease, was not able to talk clearly and could hardly write his name. Living totally alone, he managed to keep in touch with nearly all the members of his family. How did he achieve this He clicked out words on his computer keyboard.
I, therefore, managed to get an E-mail box as soon as the opportunity came. My life changed.
E-mail, and all online communication, is something truly different. It has capabilities that few other products can match.
E-mail is convenient. It takes less time with its fast speed and 24-hour connection. The slow postal service is no match. If you wouldn't want to have a face-to-face talk with your manager, you might talk with him through E-mail even if you are in the same office. Naming all the good things about online communication is not easy. But wait. E-mail can be inconvenient. It can waste time and energy. Just think what may happen when you take a short vacation and return to find your E-mail box filled with 200 unread messages. You could easily spend half a day clearing junk ads.
Then, online communication will keep us staying at our computer while it connects us to distant strangers. Once we throw ourselves into the machine, we may forget the human touches we once held so dear. I'm sure there is and always will be a place for the old-fashioned letter, phone call, and face-to-face meeting... even in the world of modern communication.
As I listen to the sound of the modem(调制解调器), I was excited at stepping out to the outside world but, at the same time, I sensed a loss of control over something valuable in my personal life.
64. What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word "junk" in paragraph 7
A. Old and useless. B. New and useful. C. Short but valuable. D. Long but clear.
65. What caused the writer to become interested in E-mail and online communication
A. The sound of the modem. B. His own illness.
C. The changing of his life. D. A sick old man's experience.
66. What does the writer think of online communication
A. It should replace old-fashioned letters completely.
B. It is perfect and always does good to you.
C. It is extremely useful and convenient, but it may be inconvenient or even harmful.
D. It does more harm than good.
67. According to the writer, traditional means of communication will never disappear because ________.
A. they are convenient and popular though they are slow
B. they help to keep the friendly relationship between people
C. most people cannot keep up with the development of technology
D. modern means of communication does too much harm
68. How did the sick old man keep in touch with his family members
A. With the help of his computer. B. By writing letters with his pen.
C. By making telephone calls. D. By visiting them regularly.
D
Women in the United States and in many other countries participate(参加)in a growing number of sports and games. This has not always been the case, however. In fact, women have not been as active in sports as men. Only in recent years have women begun to catch up to men in this area. Until the twentieth century, women did not often participate in sports.
Part of the explanation for this is that women simply did not have time. Many women cooked, cleaned, and took care of children. They were so busy that they did not have time for sports. A second reason, especially in the late nineteenth century, is that a woman’s image(形象)at that time was one of frailty, illness, and delicacy. In the Victorian era(时代), people thought that it was unladylike for a woman to be involved in any sports activity.
There have been changes in both the view of women in the modern world, and also changes within the world of sports. These changes have allowed many more women to participate in sports. The general view of women has changed substantially since the Victorian era. Women are no longer considered delicate. People do not think it is unladylike for a woman to compete in sports. Women who win in sports activities are highly regarded. Many women now take part in ports and games of many different kinds, and enjoy doing so. This development is partly the result of a change in the image of women in the modern world.
Women also are more active in sports now because of two changes in sports. First, in the early twentieth century, women began to compete regularly in the Olympics. Also, the number of events for women in the Olympics has been growing quite steadily. The fact that women can compete in the Olympics encourages many to become active in the various Olympic activities. In more recent years, television has had a noticeable effect on both the popularity of and participation in women’s professional sports. Seeing women in professional sports on TV has made certain sports much more popular among women, as amateurs and as professionals.
69. Which of the following is not considered as the image of women in the Victorian era
A. Weakness. B. Illness. C. Delicacy. D. strength.
70. What causes many more women to participate in ports now
A. More free time.
B. Changes in the view of women and in the world of sports.
C. Television.
D. Both a and b.
71. Nowadays if a woman wins in sports activities she is considered __________.
A. to be rude B. to be respectable C. to be unladylike D. to be impolite
E
A German taxi-driver, Franz Busman, recently found his brother who was thought to have been killed twenty years before.
While on a walking tour with his wife, he stopped to talk to a workman. After they had gone on, Mrs. Busman said that the workman was closely like her husband and even suggested that he might be his brother. Franz laughed at the idea, pointing out that his brother had been killed in action during the war. Though Mrs. Busman knew this story quite well, she thought that there was a chance in a million that she might be right.
A few days later, she sent a boy to the workman to ask him if his name was Hans Busman. Needless to say, the man's name was Hans Busman. And he really was Franz's long-lost brother. When the brothers were reunited, Hans explained how it was that he was still alive.
After having being wounded towards the end of the war, he had been sent to hospital and was separated from his unit. The hospital had been bombed and Hans had made his way back into Western Germany on foot. Meanwhile, his unit was lost and all records of him had been destroyed. Hans returned to his family house, but the house had been bombed. Guessing that his family had been killed during an air-raid(空袭), Hans settled down in a village fifty miles away where he had remained ever since.
72. Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage
A. Living Not Far B. A Chance in a Million C. Coming Back to Life D. Back after the War
73. Walking along the street, ________.
A. Mr. Busman recognized his brother at the first sight
B. Mrs. Busman thought of her long-lost brother
C. Mr. and Mrs. Busman talked to a workman because he looked like his brother
D. Mr. Busman happened to meet a workman and talked to him
74. How to understand the sentence "There was a chance in a million that she might be right. "
A. There was a little possibility of what she suggested, though little.
B. It was impossible for her to be right.
C. She had no chance to meet his brother any more.
D. There were many chances for her to meet his brother again.
75. Which of the following orders is right
a. He walked back to Western Germany.
b. He was wounded when the war was coming to the end.
c. The hospital was destroyed by bombs.
d. He came back to his family house.
e. He was sent to hospital.
f. His unit of German didn't exist any longer.

April 28th Saturday Fine
It was Saturday, just before May Day. My classmates and I went to the park nearby. We didn’t go there for amusement but took part in voluntary labor.
When we got there at 9:00, we were divided into 3 groups and then began working.
The students in Group One planted trees and watered flowers. The task for Group Two was collecting litter left about by tourists and cleaning the benches. The group I was in got to the children’s playground and wiped all the equipment clean. We worked very hard.
At 11:00, when all the work was finished up, all my classmates met again. Everyone was in a sweat. Yet, we felt happy because we had done a good job.
