As you may imagine, it came from the time when the majority of people traveled in vehicles drawn by horses. A horse does have a lot of common sense, and there are many true stories about horses having saved their drivers from danger of death.Today for the most part, people travel by train, ship, airplane, and car, but very little by the Use of horses. Modem vehicles arepropelledby engines, and an engine does not have any sense. In case of danger, many horses could be depended on to help. Not so with the engine; the driver must do all the things.In recent years, the speed of travel has increased greatly. With the increased speed comes greatly increased danger. The driver of a powerful engine needs to be careful. A moment of being careless may cost a life. In order to drive today, a person must be able to see clearly, and he must learn and follow carefully the rules for safety on the road. Greater attention is the price we pay for using a machine instead of a horse.25. The passage mainly talks about _.A. engines B. safe driving C. using horses D. modern machines26. The underlined word “propel” in the second paragraph means _.A. repair B. raise C. push forward D. made27. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. a driver must know the rules of safetyB. a driver needs to be able only to tell red from greenC. an eye test is an important part of a drivers examinationD. greater attention is needed for a driver while driving a machine28. Which of the following is NOT true?A. A driver must be able to see and hear well.B. The driver of a ear must follow the rules of safety.C. Horses are known to have saved their drivers from injury.D. It is better for vehicles to be pulled by horse than to be pushed by engine.CSleeping in is one of the best parts of the weekend. After a long, exhausting work week, sometimes all you want to do is sleep. On Friday night, you slide under the covers, smiling in anticipation. Now you can finally catch up on your sleep. Except you cant. When you open your eyes Saturday morning, its still early. If this were a weekday, youd be up before your alarm. So whats the deal?We hate to break it to you, but youve pretty much done this to yourself. Your body is very good at recognizing patterns and adjusting accordingly. If youve got a 9-to-5 job, youre getting up early five days a week. This effectively sets your body clock to wake you at a certain time each day. You can shut off your alarm clock, but your body clock will just keep ticking.Theres another reason that you probably dont want to think about: Youre just not as young as you used to be. We need less sleep as we get older. Babies need between 16 and 20 hours. Teenagers should (but often dont) get nine hours a night. Younger and middle-aged adults need eight. In general, the older you get, the harder it is to snooze the day away.Even if you do manage to sleep in, you may never fully catch up on your sleep. If your body needs eight hours every night and you only get six or seven from Monday to Friday, youd have to sleep an extra five to ten hours on Saturday to make it up. And experts say even that may not be enough.The bottom line: Sleep when you can, and enjoy those extra weekend morning hours. Who doesnt want a longer weekend?29. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1? A. You know that you will oversleep on Saturday morning. B. You neednt get up early on Saturday morning, so you will have a better sleep. C. Since you dont work on Saturday, you neednt go to sleep as usual. D. You know that even though you neednt get up early on Saturday morning, you will wake as usual.30. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. If you have a 9-to-5 job, you are likely to develop a flexible body clock. B. Once you have set your body clock, it is not easy to change it. C. The author will not break the pattern, but you will do it yourself. D. If you adjust your body clock accordingly, you are healthy.31. Which of the following is the reason why you cant sleep in on weekends? A. You are not willing to admit that you are old. B. You need to relax on the weekend. C. Your body clock still works on weekends. D. You can never get enough sleep.32. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Why cant I sleep in on weekends anymore? B. Why cant I catch up on my sleep? C. How to turn off my body clock on Saturdays? D. How to get more sleep on Saturday mornings?DRevolutionary TV EarsTV Ears has helped thousands of people with various degrees of hearing loss hear the television clearly without turning up the volume(音量) and now its better and more affordable than ever!

I did not have the 41 or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a 42 Christmas after all. 43 , the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in. There was a 44 on the door one evening. It was Jeffs new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to 45 us with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a 46 on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasnt working in the cold snowy weather and we had 47 a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies. The 48 feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.As Jeff and I were 49 pre-Christmas snow from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to 50 us to dig out.
