24、People in many parts of North and South America will be e able to see a total lunar eclipse (月食) on Sunday night and early Monday morning. The eclipse this weekend is special, and it is called a super blood wolf moon by some people.

The moon will be a little closer than it normally is to the Earth. For this reason, it will appear brighter than usual. Such a moon has come to be called a supermoon. When the moon is completely eclipsed, it looks darker and appears to have an orange or even a red color. The sunset on the Earth looks orange for a similar reason. Because of its reddish color, an eclipsed moon is sometimes called a blood moon.

In North America, there are traditional names given to each of the 12 full moons that happen throughout the year. January’s full moon is known as the wolf moon or the great spirit moon.

Is there anything I should get ready when I look up the lunar eclipse?

“There are no precautions（预防措施） you need to take when looking at a lunar eclipse, since the moon is never bright enough to hurt our eyes like the sun,” according to Walter Freeman, a physicist at Syracuse University.

It’s just a wonderful thing for the whole family to see because it’s fairly rare to have all these kinds of things together at the same time.

25、“Long distance never separates best friends.” It’s easier to make new friends rather than saying goodbye to old ones.

When I was still studying in China, my school held a singing competition. I signed up（报名）because I really loved singing. I sang with a girl named Jenny. She’s one of my best friends.

Unfortunately（不幸地）, I was nervous and I forgot the lyrics for a moment while we sang. I was standing onstage（上台）, looking pale in the face. We lost the competition. I felt guilty （愧疚的）, “There will be another chance.”

After about a week, our school’s art festival began. I decided to take part in it. The first person I thought of to join me was Jenny, although I wasn’t sure if she would want to. But while I was asking other people to join me, she said she would join us as well. We decided to sing the song See You Again at the festival, since it was kind of a goodbye performance before I left for UK.

Finally, the day of the festival arrived. As I walked into class, people started clapping（鼓掌）.Someone had written “Sally, Come on!” on the blackboard. My classmates wrote cards to me. After I completed my performance, everyone cheered for me.

It was a really unforgettable and touching afternoon. I want to thank Jenny who didn’t give up on me when I felt sad. I also want to thank my teacher for teaching me. I really want to thank all of my classmates who were with me in my two middle school years.

26、Father’s Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers（店主）found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers, presents from their shops.

By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though some have children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular before too long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do-buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy a Father’s Day present-not for her father but for her husband, even if he is a not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.

The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.

【1】Father’s Day was started just because ________.

A．there was a Mother’s Day

B．there was a Children’s Day

【3】On Father’s Day, shopkeepers always want ________.

A．people to buy as many as presents

B．children to buy presents only for their fathers

C．women to buy presents only for their husbands

D．fathers to save as much money as they can

A．the writer is against Father’s Day

B．many countries have a Father’s Day

C．shopkeepers can get more money on Father’s Day than usual

D．people only buy presents for their father on Father’s Day

27、It sounds almost too good to be true, but a new study on sleeping brains suggests that listening to languages while you sleep can actually help you to learn them.

For the study, researchers played recordings of foreign words and their translations to students who were enjoying slow-wave sleep. During this period, a person has little knowledge of their environment. To make sure that the results were not compromised by foreign language words that students may have had some connection with at some point in their waking lives, researchers made up the words which cannot be found in the foreign language at all.

When the students woke up, they were presented with the made-up words again without their translations. The students were then asked to imagine whether this made-up word showed an object that was either smaller or larger. This vague (not very clear) way of testing their understanding of the words is a method that is supposed to make use of the unconscious (无意识的) memory.

The researchers were surprised to find out that the students were able to correctly group the words in this way. And their accuracy rate (精确度) was 10 percent higher than accidental chance. That’s not a rate high enough to help them get ability of communicating with others in a foreign language, but it is enough to suggest that the brain is still taking in information on some level, even during sleep.

It has been long believed that sleep is important for memory, but before this research its role in memory was thought to relate only to the preservation (保存) and organization of memories that students got during wakefulness. This is the first time that memory formation ( 形 成 ) has been shown to be active during sleep. In other words, our brains are listening to the world, and learning about it, even when we are unconscious of what is happening around us.

The next step for researchers will be to see whether new information can be learned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleep. If so, it could forever change how we train our brains to learn new things. Sleep learning might become a widespread practice.

【1】The word “compromised” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.

A．influenced

B．depended

C．finished

D．studied

【2】What were the students asked to do in the study?

A．Group the words they heard by size.

B．Repeat the words they heard in the sleep.

C．Imagine the meaning of the made-up words.

D．Make up a word to describe “large” or “small”.

【3】The researchers probably agree that .

A．sleep is necessary for a good memory

B．memory formation goes on during sleep

C．listening during sleep is good for our health

D．learning languages in sleep has better effects

【4】What will be the researchers’ next plan?

A．To train people how to learn during sleep.

B．To dig out the reason for unconscious learning.

C．To explain the benefits of unconscious memory.

D．To study the effect of sleep learning on conscious learning.
