21、   An elderly carpenter (木匠) was ready to retire (退休). He told his boss that he planned to leave the building business and live a more relaxing life with his wife, enjoying his big family. He would miss the pay check each week, but he needed to retire. He believed they could get by (勉强过活) even on a small amount of money.

The boss was sorry to see his good worker leave and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but soon afterwards he was found to be absent-minded. He used shoddy materials to build the house. How disappointing it was to end his career in this way!

When the carpenter finished all his work, the boss came to inspect (检查) the new house as usual. But after that, he handed the front-door key to the carpenter, saying. “This is your house, my gift to you.”

What a shock! What a shame! If he had known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the worst house he had ever built in his life.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or put up a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you ever build. Even if you live it for only one more day, that day deserves (值得) to be lived comfortably.

Life is a do-it-yourself project. Your life today is the result of your attitudes (态度) and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.

【1】According to the article, the carpenter _________.

A.was too old to build a fine house B.had a large family to raise

A.Beautiful. B.Best. C.Bad. D.Good.

【3】The carpenter was ________ when he learned that the house he had built was for himself.

A.excited B.delighted C.worried D.surprised

【4】What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph?

A.We should try our best to do things well. B.We should build a good house to live in.

C.We always like doing something. D.We enjoy building the house.

23、   Why is that many teenagers have energy to play computer games until late at night， but can't find the energy to get out of bed in time for school？ According to a new report， today's teenagers are getting so little sleep but their health is in danger．

This raises serious questions about whether being short of sleep is influencing children's ability to pay attention at school． Research has shown that losing even just half an hour's sleep at night can have deep influences on how children perform the next day．

So why aren't teenagers getting enough sleep？Some experts suggest that televisions， computers and mobile phones in children's bedrooms may cause problems．Instead of reading a book at bedtime，children are playing computer games，surfing the web，sending messages， or watching television．As these new pre-sleep activities have become more common，more traditional ones such as reading have become less，Dr．Luci Wiggs，a researcher at Oxford

University's Section of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry said，“One of the problems with these pre-sleep activities is that they do not have clear start and end times which leads to being short of sleep．”

Research has shown that teenagers have different sleep patterns from adults．Human bodies produce melatonin（褪黑激素）to help fall asleep． Most adults start to produce melatonin at

about 10 pm，while teenagers only begin to produce it three hours later．It is possible that this  delay in melatonin production is caused by the behaviors of teenagers such as playing with phones late at night．

Problems about sleep- who needs how much and when -are usually connected to students' achievements． But modern brain researchers say it is time that more schools wake up to both biological and social facts and make a better timetable for their teenager students．

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2？

A.It's very common for teenagers to have less sleep．

B.It doesn't matter if children sleep half an hour less．

C.Being short of sleep has influence on children．

D.A good night sleep at weekends helps children study well．

【2】According to Dr．Luci Wiggs，．

A.too many pre-sleep activities take up teenagers' sleeping time．

B.playing computer games before bedtimes does harm to health．

C.fewer and fewer children read books at bedtime today．

D.teenagers shouldn't watch TV before they go to sleep．

【3】What does the underlined word 'delay' mean？

A.Rushing． B.Changing． C.Putting off． D.Cutting off．

【4】What can we infer from Paragraphs 4 and 5？

A.Schools need to offer more biology classes．

B.Teenagers may be kept awake by themselves．

C.Melatonin influences teenagers' achievements．

D.It's necessary for schools to start classes later．

【5】Which can be the best title for this passage？

A.Wake Up Sleeping Teenagers

B.Let Sleeping Teenagers Lie

C.Keep Away From Electronic Products

D.How to Sleep

24、Ice Fishing

Dear members,

I’m excited about this Sunday’s ice fishing. We are to meet at 9:00 am and then take the bus to the lake.

Please arrive on time. Before you set off, here is some advice for you:

●   Wear the right clothes. You should dress in layers (层). Wear two or three shirts, so you can take off a layer when you are warm. Wear a face mask, a warm hat and gloves.

●   Stay warm. Be sure to take a hot drink, for example a hot chocolate. You should move around to stay warm. Some people take ice-skates.

●   Check the ice. Look at it carefully. The ice must be 10 cm or more thick. Thick ice is safe for ice fishing. Thin ice is dangerous.

●   Take the right tools. Be sure to take your fish hooks (钩) and fishing rods (竿)! Take your phone. You might need to call for help. Remember to take a chair to sit on.

Have a great time!

Brain from the ice fishing club
