It became a _42_ for me to get light into the darkest places I could find.I _43_ the little mirror, and, as I _44_ up, I would take it out when I had nothing to do and _45_ the game. As I became a _46_, I grew to understand that this was not _47_a childs game but a metaphor（象征）for what I might do with my life. I came to _48_ that I am not the light or the source（来源）of light, but lighttruth, understanding, knowledgeis _49_, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.I am just a single piece of a mirror whose _50_ design and shape I do not know. _51_, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this _52_， into the black places in the_53_ of menand change some things _54_ some people.

Different creatures have developed some pretty creative ways to get their rest and stay safe. The lizard（蜥蝎）likes to sleep at the far end of small branches hanging out over a pond or lake in the rain forest. If a snake tries to slither up the branch to eat it, it will shake the branch and knock the lizard off , and the lizard will fall safely into the water. Chameleons （变色龙）can change color to match their surroundings in order to hide even while sleeping. Corillas（大猩猩）like to sleep high in the trees. They build a new bed every night, sometimes taking up to half an hour to pile branches, twigs, and leaves into a comfortable bed. Birds also find it safe to sleep in the trees, but unless they have eggs or young chicks, they dont use a nest. They just lock their feet around a branch and hang on. A special tendon（腱）in their legs is automatically tight when they are at rest, so they wont let go and fall. Dolphins(海豚) live underwater, but must come to the surface to breathe. Scientists now believe that dolphins may sleep with only half their brain, while the other half stays awake to keep them safe and breathing. Seals (海豹) also do this，lying on their sides on the surface of the water with one flipper underwater paddling to keep their noses above the surface. Some ducks may also have this ability, and actually sleep with one eye closed and one eye open.(281 words) 60How many animals are mentioned in this passage? A6. B7. C8.

CJamie Oliver has been invited by Gordon Brown to prepare a banquet at No10 for President Barack Obama and other leaders of the G20, offering a cut-price menu to reflect times when trade and industry are far from prosperous and the rate of employment is decreasing.Downing Street sources say Oliver, the well-known chef, will cook using honest high-street products and avoid expensive or fancy ingredients.The prime minister is trying to avoid a repeat of the embarrassment last year when he sat down to an 18-course banquet at a Japanese summit to discuss world food shortagesObama, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and other leaders will be served by apprentices （学徒） from Fifteen, the London restaurant Oliver founded to help train young people in poverty in order to make a living by mastering a skill.Brown wants the dinner to reflect the emphasis of the London summit, which he hopes will lead to an agreement to lift the world out of recessionTo be invited to cook for such an important group of people, who are trying to solve some of the worlds major problems, is really a privilege, said Oliver.Im hoping the menu Im working on will show British food and produce is some of the best in the world, but also show we have pioneered a high-quality apprentice scheme at Fifteen London that is giving young people a skill to be proud of.

That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history.The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes “the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we dont seem to learn from history ”. Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this.A second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We can not even understand who we are and where we are without history, much less try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be.I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to t
