Can you come?To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say youre sorry and give an excuse.Thanks, Id love to. What time would you like me to come? or Oh, sorry.

Scientists tell us that there are four stages(阶段)of sleep. During each stage our brain behaves differently, and so does our body. Each stage is marked by changes in the pattern of brain waves, which can be recorded by machines.In the first stage, we drift off to sleep. Our muscles(肌肉)begin to relax. Our heartbeat and breathing slow down. Body temperature and blood pressure(压力)begin to drop. Stage-two sleep is a time of small, fast brain waves. Our eyes move quickly from side to side as if watching a movie. This is known as rapid eye movement, or REM sleep. During REM sleep, dreaming takes place. In stage three the brain wave becomes slower again.Within about 45 minutes after falling sleep, we progress into the fourth stage deep sleep. As this happens, our brain sends out slower but larger brain waves. This is the most restful kind of sleep, but it is also the time when sleepers are most likely to change positions or sleepwalk. After deep sleep we return to stage two. As the hours pass, we repeat the sleep cycle four or five times. Then we wake up.（1）How many stages of sleep do we repeat several times during a night? A . Two.B . Three.C . Four.D . Five.（2）When does a person most likely change his positions? A . When first falling asleep.B . During stage three.C . During REM sleep.D . During deep sleep.（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE? A . We can dream in all the stages of sleep, especially during REM sleep.B . It is impossible to record the pattern of our brain waves with machines.C . Our body, like our brain, behaves differently during each stage of sleep.D . It takes about 45 minutes to complete the sleep cycle after we fall asleep.4. （10分）阅读理解 When he didnt become famous, Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists in the world, lived a hard life, wearing casually. Someone reminded him he should have a decent(得体的) coat so as to enter the society.He said, Im unknown. Even if I wear more handsomely, no one will know me. A few years later, Einstein became a world-famous scientist, who still wore casually. The man again reminded he should have a coat made quickly, or it would disagree with the fame of a great scientist. Einstein said with a smile, Now, even if I wear ragged(衣衫褴褛的)clothes, people will know me.Sometimes, he even wore a sports shirt and a pair of sandals to the University of Berlin when he worked as a professor in Germany. His friends didnt agree with him, but he said jokingly, If the bag is better than the meat inside, it will be a bad thing.Indeed, many a time, if we dont adorn(修饰;装饰) ourselves from the appearance but let the skeleton(骨架;骨骼) of the spirit stand up, we wont fall over in this world.（1）Einstein was a great_.
