A
Is a loved one missing some body parts? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimps (黑猩猩) differ in only 400 genes And should that worry us? Is it horrible for you thinking one fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else, or a person and his family may be hunted crosscountry because they happen to have certain valuable genes? We live in a time of great scientific leaps!

Have you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our climate more mild, many animals are still hibernating (冬眠) It’s too bad that humans can’t hibernate In fact, as a species, we almost did
Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in France liked a semistate of human hibernation o writes Graham Robb, a ritish scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants As soon as the weather turned cold people all over France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end
In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer at CC Radio’s he Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial (人造的) lighting and the electric bulb
When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as “first sleep”, which was not clarified, thoughNow scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods he business of eight hours’ uninterrupted sleep is a modern invention
In the past, without the artificial light of the city to bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight he late night period was known as ”he Watch” It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbors
According to some sleep researchers, a short period of insomnia (失眠) at midnight is not a disorder It is normal Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning his period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people he impressive inventor, homas Edison, used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas
laying with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous, as anxiety may set in Medical science doesn’t help much in this case It offers us medicines for a full night’s continuous sleep, which sounds natural; however, according to Warren’s theory,it is really the opposite of what we need
40 he example of the French peasants shows the fact that
A people might become lazy as a result of too much sleep
there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habits
C people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weather
D winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end
41 he late night was called “he Watch” because it was a time for people
A to set traps to catch animals
to wake up their family and neighbors
C to remind others of the time
D to guard against possible dangers
4 What does the author advise people to do?
A leep in the way animals do
Consult a doctor if they can’t sleep
C Follow their natural sleep rhythm
D Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern
C
Goldie’s ecret
he turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall No way could I have sent her away No way, not me anyway Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before “We’re moving house” “No space for her any more with the baby coming” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? he was a present” eople find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen
I called her Goldie If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name he was so unsettled during those first few days he hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her here was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s ut eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire
hat’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could
y the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie ut when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them “We didn’t know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared” “he must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people

A hocked ympathetic
C AnnoyedD Upset

A felt worried was angry

ome people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life o what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fastpaced world, many values are undergoing major changes While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more selfabsorbed and selfconcerned
Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life hey say that it is a jungle out there o survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences
In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then ut we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? here is no fixed answer either ome people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite ut I personally think that people should not be too selfish Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship
In conclusion, modern people appear to be more selfcentered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others

One day, a mother and son were taking a walk when they saw a little girl fall over he boy wanted to help her up but his mother stopped him and said, “Don’t do that, otherwise others will think it was you who knocked her down” A few days later, when she got home, the mother was shocked at seeing her son just let the fallen oil bottle lie on the ground he asked him why he didn’t put it in place, but the boy talked back, “If I had straightened the bottle up, you would have thought that I did it”

Have you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our climate more mild, many animals are still hibernating (冬眠) It’s too bad that humans can’t hibernate In fact, as a species, we almost did
Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in France liked a semistate of human hibernation o writes Graham Robb, a ritish scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants As soon as the weather turned cold people all over France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end
In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer at CC Radio’s he Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial (人造的) lighting and the electric bulb
When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as “first sleep”, which was not clarified, thoughNow scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods he business of eight hours’ uninterrupted sleep is a modern invention
In the past, without the artificial light of the city to bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight he late night period was known as ”he Watch” It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbors
According to some sleep researchers, a short period of insomnia (失眠) at midnight is not a disorder It is normal Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning his period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people he impressive inventor, homas Edison, used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas
laying with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous, as anxiety may set in Medical science doesn’t help much in this case It offers us medicines for a full night’s continuous sleep, which sounds natural; however, according to Warren’s theory,it is really the opposite of what we need
40 he example of the French peasants shows the fact that
A people might become lazy as a result of too much sleep
there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habits
C people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weather
D winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end
41 he late night was called “he Watch” because it was a time for people
A to set traps to catch animals
to wake up their family and neighbors
C to remind others of the time
D to guard against possible dangers
4 What does the author advise people to do?
A leep in the way animals do
Consult a doctor if they can’t sleep
C Follow their natural sleep rhythm
D Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern
C
Goldie’s ecret
he turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall No way could I have sent her away No way, not me anyway Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before “We’re moving house” “No space for her any more with the baby coming” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? he was a present” eople find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen

y the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie ut when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them “We didn’t know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared” “he must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people

ome people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life o what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fastpaced world, many values are undergoing major changes While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more selfabsorbed and selfconcerned
Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life hey say that it is a jungle out there o survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences
In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then ut we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? here is no fixed answer either ome people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite ut I personally think that people should not be too selfish Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship
In conclusion, modern people appear to be more selfcentered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others
