There, it's dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun for a clock. Even today, if you don't have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, it's day, and when it's dark, it's night. The sun can also tell you if it's morning, noon, or afternoon.‎ People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours.‎ Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.‎ In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.‎ A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture， you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over， the sand will take another hour to go back again.‎ ‎31. According to the passage, there are ______ ways to tell time besides the clock and watch.‎ A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 7‎ ‎32. The Eskimos in the far north can't use the sun for a clock because ______.‎ A. they know very little about the sun B. the sun there never goes down in winter C. it's too cold for them to go out to watch the sun D. it has long dark winters and long light summers ‎33. The underlined word "tides" in the passage means ______.‎ A. 洋流 B. 潮汐 C. 海啸 D. 波浪 ‎34. In which page of a newspaper can you most probably read this passage?‎ A. News. B. Science. C. Business. D. Advertisement ‎35. What’s the best title for the passage?‎ A. Different Ways to Tell Time B. Useful Machines to Tell Time C. The History of the Clock D. The Development of the Clock B A priest（牧师） had a cat that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The priest persuaded(劝说), offered warm milk, etc. The kitty would not come down. The tree was not strong enough to climb, so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent（弯曲）down, he could then reach up and get the kitty. He did ‎ so, checking his progress in the car again and again, then work out if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent enough for him to reach the kitty. But as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke. ‎ ‎ The tree went “boing!” and the kitty at once sailed through the air —out of sight. The priest felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they’d seen his kitty. Nobody had seen a lost kitty. ‎ ‎ So, he prayed(祈祷), “God, I just give this kitty to your keeping,” and went on about his business. ‎ ‎ Several days later he was at the grocery store, meeting one of his church（教堂） members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Now this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?”‎ ‎ She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if God gives you a cat, you can keep it. ” She told the priest, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. You won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and landed right in front of her. ”‎ ‎36. The priest drove his car to bend the tree in order to __________. ‎ ‎ A. get his kitty down from the tree B. persuade his kitty to come down ‎ ‎ C. offer the kitty some warm milk D. see if the rope was strong enough ‎37. The underlined sentence probably means that the priest __________. ‎ ‎ A. was happy he didn’t have to care for the kitty ‎ ‎ B. hoped his neighbors would look after his cat ‎ ‎ C. thought his kitty might be lost or killed ‎ ‎ D. didn’t want to see his kitty any more ‎38. Why was the priest amazed when he saw the woman had bought much cat food? ‎ ‎ A. Because he couldn’t imagine she had her own cat. ‎ ‎ B. Because the woman was his church member. ‎ ‎ C. Because he thought she would live on cat food. ‎ ‎ D. Because he knew clearly she didn’t like a cat. ‎ ‎39. Who gave the girl a cat?‎ A. God B. His church member C. The priest D. His neighbour ‎ ‎40. Which may be the best title of this passage? ‎ ‎ A. A flying cat B. A lucky girl ‎ C. God sent her a cat D. An unlucky priest C To me, the idea of home changes along with my age all the time. ‎ In my childhood, home was a number of calls. It seems that I had more free time than today’s children. I didn’t have to appear in front of my parents right after school. Instead, I often went to play with my classmates who lived in my neighborhood. We played until dinner was ready and our parents called “Come back! Come home for supper.”‎ Very soon, my childhood was gone. When I grew into a young man from a boy. Home became a place I tried to run away from. ‎ As I read more and more, my world opened up, larger than before. The bed I used to sleep in became too small. And words of care from my parents became meaningless. How I wished I ‎ could have a space of my own someday! Later I joined the army and put on my own green uniform. Home was the series of letters I received one after another.‎ When I got a job, I began to get ‘hurt’, to rise and fall in the sea of people, and to understand that you can’t share all your pains with other people, even with your best friends. So again, another wave of homesickness came over me. When I was badly hurt, I imagined myself flying home on wings. Pushing open the door, I let tears flow down my face. At that moment I felt that as large as the world was, what I needed was only the familiar smell of home and the unchanged view outside the window of my old house…‎ ‎41.

You need days like this, or how would you know you are happy? You'll enjoy your good days even more when you have a few bad days. Even if sadness is a part of life, let's try to make it small. Here are a few simple ways to help you feel better when you are feeling sad.       1. Stand up straight and this helps your energy flow (流动). When your energy is flowing freely, you can flow too.      2. Smile! It's easy to do and have good results. This way can not only leave you in a good mood but also bring others a good mood.      3. Listen to music. It can be your favourite music. Some kinds of music work better than others, so try and find out what kind of music works the best for you.      4. Take some "me" time. You can find pleasure in reading a book, watching a sunrise or having a hot bath, or something like that.      5. Exercise. Even something as simple as taking a walk will get your blood flowing. It is a great way to clear your mind of anything that makes you sad.       These ways will cheer you up when you are down, but don't just use them when you are sad. If you want these ways to work, you’d better practice them every day until you can make them a habit. You will be surprised to learn that these simple ways will keep your sadness away.
