People often like collecting things. Collecting stamps, books, pictures and pens are some common hobbies. I know many kinds of collections, but the strangest is a collection of clocks. My friend Mr. Clock, a short man, has the hobby. He has as many as one thousand five hundred clocks.
There are clocks everywhere in his house. You can see shelves are full of clocks. As there is not enough room for so many clocks, the man has to fill some boxes with clocks.
Although Mr. Clock likes his large collection of clocks, his wife does not enjoy them at all. She complains (埋怨) every day about the work she has to do, for it is not easy for her to clean hundreds of clocks. She also complains about the noise. Each clock keeps a different time. So she can hear the chimes (报点声) almost any time day and night. There is something even worse. With so many clocks around, she is never able to know what time it is!What is Mr. Clock’s hobby?
______________________________________________________________________________Does Mr. Clock’s wife like these clocks?

Sometimes you feel busy and worried.
你可能有许多事情要做，时间却不够。You may wonder, “ Where does time go?” Here are some ideas to help you make use of it and find more free time to enjoy your life.
Plan ahead of time.
It’s necessary for you to make a plan at the beginning of a week or a day. Think of what you really need and don’t need to do. Spare（匀出）some time to have a short rest and look back on what you’ve done. You may have a sense of success.
Say no to yourself. If you are not excited about attending（出席）a social activity, then don’t go.
.呆在家里休息。If you plan to go to a supermarket but it is raining heavily, why not stay inside? It’s fine to change your mind and do your shopping another day.

The stores are less crowded on Wednesday evening than Saturday afternoon. You can feel better if you regard your way home as taking a relaxing walk after supper.

When your day’s work is done, it’s time to get yourself relaxed. A pleasant bath, a cup of coffee or a gentle song can be enough. Although expensive relaxation is nice, when you focus on simple pleasures, you’ll get more.
Bats are amazing animals. There are many kinds of them. Most bats are black or grey in colour. And they have wings, too. Many people believed that bats couldn’t see. In fact, Bats can always find their way around very well. Usually, bats live in caves and trees. They can fly to their homes from far away. Some scientists said, “Bats can see with their ears.” Is it right? Most bats make a sound. The sound is too low for our ears to hear. They screech（尖叫） when they move around, and the echoes（回声）of these cries come back to their ears. In this way, they are able to tell where walls and other things are. Bats go out to eat at night. In the daytime they hang close together in their caves, trees or other dark places. Only when evening comes，they begin to come out and look for food, In the morning they come home to sleep until the next night. Some people think of bats as bad animals. In fact, they are very useful animals. Most of them catch bad insects（昆虫）for food. Some bats eat flowers and fruit as well.

Everyone believes that colours can affect our moods，but do you know food can also change our moods and make us feel happy or sad? Food can affect our moods. Scientists have already made some reports to explain what effects the different food can bring us.
When you feel blue or a little sad, you may try the food with some sugar in it. (1)Scientists find that a banana can help people get out of sadness. But when you eat the banana, you'd better eat it slowly. Don’t you think it's quite interesting? So next time, eat chocolate when you are in a bad mood. If you are feeling stressed, you should eat some green vegetables or oranges. They can help you feel relaxed. (2)If you are angry about something and want to ______ down, _______ to eat some sunflower seeds.将(1)句译成汉语。___________________________________________________

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful (有压力的) life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world — and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
(1)The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing — it’s the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.
（2）Many doctors are also interested in the effects (效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body.（3） Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest — I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real — and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!将①处改为主动语态。

_______________________________________________________________________________写出③处的反意疑问句句。
Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.__________?
How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day? Eight hours in the office and three hours in front of the TV after work is the normal condition for many people.
You probably don't need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health, but the following fact can tell you more.
A study showed the health of 123,000 Americans between 1992 and 2006. The death rate（比率）for men who spent six hours or more per day sitting was about 20 percent higher than for men who sat for three hours or less. The death rate for women who sat for more than six hours a day was about 40 percent higher ① ．
In other words, ② ．
So what can we do about it? Health experts suggest we spend more hours standing instead of sitting. The BBC and the University of Chester in the UK did a simple experiment with a small group of 10 volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting. They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day. The researchers took records on days when the volunteers stood, and when they sat around. As a result, there were some great differences, the BBC reported on Oct 16.
The researchers believe that even small movements, like standing while talking on the phone, going over to talk to a workmate rather than sending an e-mail, or simply taking the stairs instead of lift, will help.从A.C中为①②处选出恰当的选项使文章通顺、连贯、合理。
A. you can sit while you're standing for long
B. sitting is killing us
C. than the death rate for women who sat for three hours or less

Ethiopian children are crazy about football but few of them have footballs of their own. They have to play with a paper football.
Like all children, they find time to play but they also have to do a lot of work. Some children have to help their parents look after younger brothers or sisters from the age of five. Many young boys have to look after animals and the girls have to help their mothers carry water.
At present only one third of small children go to primary school because there are so many children and so few schools. The classes have to be very large. In one school I went to there were 90 children in a class!
Traditionally the Ethiopians do not eat many vegetables. This is very bad for children, so many schools have their own garden where youngsters can grow their own vegetables.
There is no public transport, so children have to walk to school. One child I spoke to had to walk for even six hours! Many walk for two or three hours. But the Ethiopians love going to school because they know how important education is.
The Ethiopian government wants more children to go to school, and organizations like UNICEF are helping them. Many of the children want to be doctors and they will have to work hard but they know that they are Ethiopia’s hope for the future.

Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke very quickly and I couldn’t understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because I didn’t know how to read the words correctly. I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything in class.
Then one day I watched an English movie—Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie. So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although(尽管) I could not understand everything the characters(角色) said, their body language and the expressions(表情) on their faces help me get the meaning(意思). I understood I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. I found out that listening to something interesting is the secret to the language learning. I also learned some useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake”or “It serves you right. I did not understand these at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary
Now I really enjoy my English class. Do you want to learn English like this?

As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, with a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a serious stomachache. Neither Al nor his wife took it very seriously. But the boy died suddenly that night.
The death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, so Al always felt he was guilty(内疚). To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain were more than Al could stand, and he turned to alcohol(酒精) for help.
Al began to lose everything he had—his land, house, etc. Finally Al died alone in a small bar. Hearing of Al’s death, I thought, “What a complete failure(失败)!”
I knew Al’s now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I saw the love between Ernie and his children, thinking that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.
I hadn’t heard Ernie talked much about his father. One day, I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person. Ernie said quietly, “As a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ‘Love you, son.’”
Tears came to my eyes as I realized that I had been a fool to tell Al as a failure. He had been a kind loving father, and left behind his best love.
根据短文内容判断正(T)误(F)。At first there were four people in Al’s family.
Al always felt he was guilty because his wife left him.
Al sold everything he had—his land, house to drink alcohol.
Ernie was a complete failure just like his father.
At the end of the story, the writer thought Al was a loving father.

It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.
There is an old English saying: “Gain time, gain life.” Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeable. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious(珍贵的)than money, because when money is spent , we can earn it back. But if time is gone away, it will never return. So, some of us even say time is priceless(无价的).
We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.
As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: “No pains, no gains.” Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.
