and was made into a movie earlier this year.the books main character is a boy named max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed without any supper. before long, maxs room magically becomes a forest, and he sails away to a land where monsters (怪物) live. max isnt scared, though, and becomes king of the wild things, but after a while, he begins feeling homesick. max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in his bedroom.many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and imagination. melina davis, an education professor, said she likes how the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “this allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.the book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children, but experts say those words help improve childrens reading skills and challenge them. davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. “the book talks about what all children go through, like i was naughty but my mommy still loves me,” davis said.the book also encourages children to face their fears. “i think its really good to show that max is friends with the monsters,” davis said. “kids can find out monsters arent always the thing under the bed thats going to scare them. i think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”since the book has been successful throughout the years, a movie was recently made and many people are excited to see it. davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little scary for younger children. “you dont want bad dreams over a book thats extremely wonderful,” davis said. 59.

short-term memory is best during the morningin fact, about 15 percent more efficient than at any other time of day. so, students, take notice: when you are faced with a morning exam, it really does pay to review your notes right before the test is given. however, long-term memory is different. afternoon is the best time for learning materials that you want to recall days, weeks or months later. politicians, business executives or others who must learn speeches would be smart to do their memorizing during that time of day. you should try to do most of your studying in the afternoon, rather than late at night. many students believe they memorize better while burning the midnight oil because their short-term recall is better during the early hours of the morning than in the afternoon. but short-term memory wont help them much several days later, when they face the exam. by contrast, we tend to do best on tasks related to the process of knowing, understanding, and learning numbers during the morning hours. what about sports? during afternoon and early evening, youre able to react the quickest to an outside stimulus（刺激）like a baseball speeding toward you. studies have also shown that late in the day, when your body temperature is peaking（达到顶峰）, you will consider pe easier and less tiringwhether it actually is or not. that means you are more likely to work harder during a late afternoon or early evening workout, and therefore benefit more from it. in fact, all of your sensestaste, sight, hearing, touch and smellmay be at their keenest during late afternoon and early evening. that could be why dinner usually tastes better to us than breakfast. while all of us follow the same general pattern of ups and downs, the exact timing varies from person to person. it all depends on how your “biological” day is structured. each of us can increase our knowledge about our individual rhythms. learn how to listen to the inner beats of your body; let them set the pace of your day. you will live a healthier and happier life.64. what does the underlined “it really does pay” mean? a. it will cost a lot.b. it is worthwhile.c. it is very painful. d. it requires price. 65. if there is an english exam two weeks later, you should go over english _ for days before that. a. right before the examb. in the late eveningc. in the early morning d. in the afternoon66. from the passage, it can be inferred that _. a. we eat more food at noonb. we feel most tired if we exercise in the eveningc. it is a good choice to study math in the morningd. we feel most sleepy before noon67. which would be the best title for the passage? a. how to keep your best state of learning b. how to live a healthier and happier lifec. how to study efficientlyd. whats your best time of the day for different tasksd“there are only four kinds of people in this world,” former first lady rosalynn carter once wrote. “those who have been caregivers, those who currently are caregivers, those who will be caregivers, those who will need caregivers.” her comment is true now more than ever before. this is a nation of caregivers. you can see it in the numbers: approximately 50 million americans provide the majority of the help needed by relatives or friends who are elderly, ill, or disabled. and those figures are only going to growthe number of people 65 and over is expected to double in the next 4
