13、The young turtle has been swimming for three months now in the same warm shallow bay, dreaming of calm water and plenty of food. But as the days begin to shorten and the night comes earlier and earlier, the water grows colder. It drops to fifty degrees Fahrenheit(华氏). Swimming is harder. Its heartbeat slows—and almost stops. The young turtle is in danger of losing its life.

Ten days before Thanksgiving, Max Nolan, a ten-year-old boy, and his mother begin theirpatrol. The Nolans are among volunteers who walk Cape Cod’s beaches during November and December to search for turtles who are often cold and trapped and seem dead—turtles whose lives they may be able to save.

Max and his mother and the other volunteers do an important job. All sea turtles are threatened or endangered. Among them Kemp’s ridleys are the most endangered. Right now on our planet there are fewer than eight thousand Kemp’s ridley turtles left.

Max is far in front of his mother when he sees a turtle washed up by the surf. He runs up to it and shouts to his mom, “Got one!” The turtle is cold. Its eyes are open, but the turtle is not moving at all. It might be dead or still alive. Max remembers the instructions given to all the volunteers. He picks up the turtle, which weighs about five pounds, and moves it above the high-tide mark to keep it from washing out to sea. Then he runs to find seaweed to protect it from the wind. He finds a stick to mark where it is, and next, he and his mother go to the nearest telephone and call the sea-turtle hot line for help.

1．The young turtle is in danger of losing its life because ________. A．it has been swimming for three months B．it dreams of calm water and plenty of food C．the water drops to fifty degrees Fahrenheit D．the days get longer and the nights come earlier

2．The underlined word “Patrol” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A．swimming in the sea

After he left college,Steven Jobs worked as a video game designer. He worked there for only several months and then he went to India. He hoped that the trip would give him some new ideas and give him a change in life. Steven Jobs lived on a farm in California for a year after he returned from India.

In 1975,he began to make a new type of computer. He designed the Apple Computer with his friend in his garage（车 .He choose the name “Apple”just because it could help him to remember a happy summer he once spent in an apple 库）tree garden.

15、 March 16 is International Sleep Day. And we should all celebrate the act of sleeping. Researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning. But what about getting rest during the middle of the day?

A recent study on napping(小睡) says short periods of sleep may help our brains work better. Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better. And napping can help brain performance in older adults. Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off memory loss because of the increase in their age. Many Americans do nap. But one-third of all adults in the United States are also chronically(长期的) tired, says the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It found that 50 million to 70 million Americans have chronic sleep disorders. However, they seem to be unwilling to tell people that they take a nap. They may think that napping shows they are weak or they don’t have enough energy. It is not an uncommon opinion that only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap. In fact, Americans sometimes do a very strange thing. Some people brag about how few hours of sleep they need each night to show that they are somehow stronger than the average human–superhuman, if you will. However, that may be changing. Many offices now offer napping rooms and napping cafes(咖啡馆) are appearing in many U.S. cities, including Washington, D．C．

Remember that an hour long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. It is recommended that 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure(压力) to sleep and will help people feel more awake. If people nap longer, they will get trapped into deep sleep, which can be hard to get out of. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, limit your daytime nap to under 45 minutes. Also nap before 3 p.m. 1．Who are this group of people in Paragraph 2? A．The babies. C．The older adults.

B．The children. D．The young people.

2．The underlined word brag in Paragraph 3 means __________. A．chat sadly C．whisper secretly

B．talk proudly D．speak politely

3．What may Americans think of napping in the future? A．Healthy adults needn’t take a nap. B．They won’t tell others about their nap. C．It may be common for Americans to take a nap. D．Only the old, the sick and children need a nap.

4．For a young man with sleep problems, it is good to __________. A．take a 40-minute-long noon nap B．take a nap whenever he feels sleepy C．take an one-hour-long nap after dinner D．take a 30-minute-long nap in the evening

16、Here's one very simple but lifechanging advice that I first heard from Brian Tracy. Cut down on the TV at night by just one hour. Instead, use that hour to read books that could improve your life. If you're a salesman, google for the best and most useful books on improving your sales.

This applies(适用) to all fields, not just the work-related(与工作相关的) ones. Maybe you want to improve your health, become a more energetic person. Or maybe you want to improve your study, your relations or perhaps do some personal development.

One hour a day is not much. But if you read for one hour a day on weekdays, that's about 260 hours a year. That's a large number of books and a lot of useful advice.

If you follow the ideas, who knows what great things and feelings could come into your life. Also, all that information and advice will start to open up your mind. You will start to see more chances in your life. Now, you might think something like this: 1. I really don't have the money...

Answer: Visit your public library or search the database(数据库). Or look for books that are used in places like amazon.com.

2. I really don't have the time...

Answer: Buy audiobooks and listen to them in the car while driving to and from work. Or copy them to your MP3-player and listen while riding your bike /bus to work or school. Recently selling audiobooks through MP3-downloads has become popular...

Shut off the TV a little earlier and start reading. 1．What is Brian Tracy’s lifechanging advice about？ A．Watching TV. B．Listening to MP3.

C．Surfing the internet. D．Reading helpful books.

2．If you’d like to improve your work, you should_______ according to the writer. A．read work-related books B．become more energetic C．improve your study D．improve your relations 3．Which is NOT true about reading an hour a day？ A．It will open up your mind.

B．You will have about 260 hours a year to read.

C．You will read lots of books and get much useful advice. D．It will probably bring great things and feelings into your life. 4．What should you do if you really don't have the money to read? A．To buy some books from amazon.com. B．To download MP3 free. C．To visit the public library.

D．To borrow audiobooks and listen to them. 5．What is the writer’s idea about audiobooks? A．They are more useful.

B．Listening to audiobooks is easier than reading books. C．It’s dangerous to listen to audiobooks while driving or riding.

D．Audiobooks are a good solution to the problem of having no time to read.

Ⅴ.书面表达 19、Dear Li Ming,

Thanks for your letter. I'm glad you would like to be a volunteer. Now let me answer your questions.

I volunteer because I enjoy helping others and can learn a lot from others. As students, we can take part in some interesting activities, such as looking after animals and working for sports matches. Also, we can join charity organizations to help protect the environment and so on.

It’s OK to have problems, because volunteering takes much time and energy. Sometimes I can’t balance my study and work. If your parents don’t allow you to volunteer, you should have a good talk with them. Try to let them understand you.

I hope you love volunteering and do well in it. Looking forward to your good news. Best wishes David
