24、   For years I wanted a flower garden. I would spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together. But then we had Matthew, Marvin, Helen, and the twins, Alisa and Alan. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.

Money was tight (拮据的), as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I’d have to say, “Do you see a money tree in the yard? Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.”

Finally, all got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden.

Then, one spring morning, on Mother’s Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow (垂柳), because I saw things blowing around on all is branches. Then I put my glasses on — and couldn’t believe what I saw.

There was a money tree in my yard!

I went to have a look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree. There was also a note among them, “Thank you for your time, Mom. We love you.”

Later, my children bought me tools, a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.

That was three years ago. My garden’s now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and take care of my flowers, I don’t seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they’ re right there with me.

I live in a city where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short. But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers, I’ll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes — every time.

I’m still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!

25、Einstein was born in 1879 in Germany. As a child he was slow to talk. But when he was 14 years old, he became clever. He taught himself maths from text books. He studied hard because he wanted to be a physicist (物理学家)。

In 1901, Einstein began teaching. In 1902, he went on with his study at the University of Zurich. Several years later, he put forward (提出)his Theory of Relativity(相对论).

To most people the Theory of Relativity is hard to explain. But once Einstein explained it very well to a group of young students. He said:" When you sit with a good girl for two hours, you think it is only a minute, But when you sit on a hot fire for a minute, you think it's two hours. That's relativity”.

Later Einstein went to America and never left there. His life ended at the age of 76.

26、Do you sometimes find you want to eat chocolate or ice cream very much? Do you then make it but feel guilty about it later?

The next time this happens to you, think back if you have had enough sleep over the last 3-5 days. Many adults and even teens have noticed that they crave "midnight snacks" when working or watching TV late.

New research shows that lack of sleep could lead us to have an increased appetite (食欲)- especially for the unhealthy kind.

Recently, researchers at the University of Chicago carried out a study that clearly shows that a lack of sleep actually changes our brain chemistry! Studies were done on two control groups over four days. Both groups had their food and sleep strictly controlled. All of them received three meals. The only difference was that one group was allowed to sleep for 7.5 hours while the other group slept for a little more than four hours.

During the following visit, their sleep patterns were exchanged. After the last night of the session, the volunteers were offered as much food as they wanted to eat. Researchers noticed that in both sessions, people who sleep less ate on an average 300 calories more than those who had slept more. This was much more calories than what their bodies would need to make up for the three fewer hours of sleep.

What Is Going On?

The researchers then analyzed the chemicals (化学成分) in the blood of the people in the study. What they noticed was surprising. High levels of ghrelin (a chemical that makes us hungry) and lower levels of leptin (the chemical that tells the brain that it is satisfied) were found in the people with less sleep.

Even more surprising was that this group had higher levels of endocannabinoids - the same chemical that is caused by drugs such as cannabis (大麻). The endocannabinoid system causes a craving for sugar and fatty foods and leads to overeating even when the body is not hungry. This study suggests that sleep changes help produce chemicals in the body that are similar to taking drugs!

Furthermore, researchers noticed that food cravings continued for a long period of time, well after the lack of sleep. This increases the risk of over-eating for longer periods, leading to obesity (肥胖).

Your body needs 7-8 hours of sleep each night. So, the next time you reach for a bag of chips or a slice of decadent cake, think of the amount of sleep you have had recently!

【1】According to the passage, people want to eat more when they ________.

A．work   B．watch TV C．sleep less D．sleep more

【2】The word ‘crave’ in paragraph 2 most probably means ________.

A．hope   B．want   C．hate   D．dislike

【3】From the passage, we can learn that  ________.

A．people feel guilty about eating chocolate

B．unhealthy food makes people sleep less and less

C．a person’s sleep has nothing to do with his/her appetite 

D．a study about sleep and obesity was carried out at the University of Chicago

【4】The chemical that makes us feel hungry is called ________.

A．ghrelin     B．leptim

C．cannabis   D．endocannabinoids

【5】This article is mainly about ________.

A．researchers working on people’s sleep

B．how people’s sleep influences their appetite

C．how much people need to eat after sleeping less

D．A research about chemicals in the blood of people

27、Name: Stella by Starlight

Type: Historical novel

Number of pages: 352 pages

What’s the basic storyline?

Stella and her family were living peacefully in a small North Carolina town in 1932 until Stella and her brother saw, in the darkness of the night, a burning cross, the symbol of the Ku Klux Klan. The Ku Klux Klan is a secret organization in the United States. It is made up of white people who don’t like people of other races (种族) and do harm to them. Things really started to turn bad when a neighbor’s house was burned down. In her small town, Stella didn’t know whom to trust. Could Stella find the courage to stand up for what’s right?

Are the characters believable?

Some parts of the characters are not believable. The characters, for example, are either all good or all bad. I prefer characters that are more different and conflicted (矛盾的). The plot, however, is so attractive that I don’t mind. And I always read it for a long time without having a rest. Overall, the writer wisely tells the story through the characters’ points of view.

▲

I think people who enjoy reading historical novels and adventure stories will really like Stella by Starlight. People who are interested in learning the history of black and white people in America will especially enjoy this book.

From 1 to 10, which score will you give this book?
