But do you know who wrote the song and for whom it was written? The retired professor, Archibald A. Hill in Lucasville, USA could tell us the story. Ninety-seven years ago, two of Mr. Archibald Hills aunts, Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were asked to write some songs for a book called “Song Storied for the Sunday Morning”. Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were both kindergarten teachers then. They loved children very much and wrote many beautiful songs for the book. One of them was the famous “Good Morning to You.” The song said, “Good morning to you, good morning to you, children, good morning to all.” This song was very popular at that time among kindergarten children. But not many grown-ups knew it. A few years later little Archibald was born. As his aunt, Miss Patty Hill sang the song “Happy Birthday” to the melody（曲调）of “Good Morning to you” to her little nephew（侄子）. She sang the song like this: Happy birthday to you!

If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it. This is called blood transfusion. The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person.But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion. Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood. There are four groupsO, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB. But they find that they must give A-group blood to A-group people and B-group blood to B-group people. I have O-group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely. There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group. Often they can not find a person in time. If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood. At first they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days. They do this by making it very cold. Then they find how to keep it longer. In the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time.We call a place where we keep money a bank. We call a place where we keep blood a blood bank. One day, when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a blood bank. In this way you may stop someone from dying. Or perhaps one day you may become ill. You may need blood. The blood bank will give it to you. 31. From the passage, we learn that sometimes people die when they have blood transfusions because they .A. are unhealthy peopleB. have lost a lot of bloodC. are not given the right kind of bloodD. are AB-group people32. Which of the following is true?A. Doctors can give any kind of blood to the writer. B. The writer can give blood to B-group people.C. The writer has never had a blood transfusion. D. The writer has the same kind of blood as his father.33. People set up the blood bank so that they can .A. give the right kind of blood to the people who need it in timeB. keep different groups of blood as much as possibleC. make it easier to sell or buy blood D. keep blood for more than twenty hundred years34. From the last paragraph (段落) of the passage, we learn that .A. the writer thinks its good to give blood to a blood bankB. we may become ill if we give blood to a blood bank C. many people died because they lost a lot of blood D. blood is more important than money35. The writer doesnt talk about in the passage.A. how important blood is to us B. the four groups of blood C. where the blood bank isD. what blood transfusion is CAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.36. The passage is mainly about _.A. color and its surprising effects. B. women being luckier than menC. danger caused by color blindness D. color blindness37. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_.A. tell different shapes B. see in a weak lightC. kill mosquitoes D. tell orange from yellow38. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful. B. There are fewer color-blind womenC. Women are fonder of driving than men. D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.39. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true? A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color. B. None of them can see deep red. C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green. D. All of them see everything in shades of green.40. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _.A. red light B. yellow lightC. blue light D. green light From now on, never spendDTo switch or not to switch, that is the questionGoogles announcement of its Nexus One smartphone（智能手机） happened over a week ago and Im still receiving lots of e-mails from readers asking the same question: Should they give up their iPhone for the Nexus One?Some people with iPhones, disappointed by American Telephone & Telegraphs inadequate service and the high monthly cost, are wondering if they have really got something to replace itDoes the Nexus One offer the functions that Apple has led them to expect?

And with an aim of achieving success, I must do the best!So my good friends, if you want to realize your dream, please do not be afraid in face of difficulties or give up in face of failure nor lose your dream in face of pains.
