24、Do you know about smart cities? What are they like? What can people do in a smart city? Let’s find out.
Imagine living your life like this: when you get up in the morning you say “open the window” to a computer and it opens the window. Then you finish breakfast and sit in front of your desk at home and begin to have classes on the Internet. With a help of building a smart city, this may come true one day.
The idea of a smart city goes back to 2010. A smart city uses smart technologies such as the Internet to make our lives easier. People live in smart cities, where there is Internet almost everywhere. They can do many things at home, such as booking train tickets, paying water bills and so on.
Now China is making some cities smarter in these ways. For example, Guiyang, Guizhou, is going to build free Wi-Fi in the city. Tianjin will start a “Smart City” plan to help reduce traffic jams.
In fact, smart cities are more common in foreign countries. Here are some great ones. Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city uses smart water meters(计量器) to let people know how much water they use and how to save water. Copenhagen in Denmark has also used smart technologies. For example, most of their traffic lights have sensors(传感器) to give the the right way to buses. The city also has parking sensors and they help car drivers find parking spaces.

25、Plan Your Spring Garden
Spring is a good time to start planning for a vegetable or flower garden. There is some fun work to do before you’re ready to put your first plant in the ground.
※Draw the outline (草图)
Whether you and your family want to plant a new garden this spring or change one you already have, you can start by planning for it.
※Consider a topic
If you’re feeling undecided about what you want in your garden, you can use a topic to guide you. For example, if you want to plant vegetables, you could do a “pizza garden” with vegetables you will use to make a pizza.
※Prepare the space
It’s important to wait to plant your garden until the last frost (霜冻) has happened in your area. Even if it’s not time to plant, you can start working on the soil as long as it isn’t too wet from winter rains.
※Start your plants
If you want to grow some of your plants from seeds, plant the seeds inside small containers (容器) and place them under the sun.
Once the ground is warm enough to plant outside, you can move them into your garden.
【1】What can a topic be used for?
A.Measuring your garden.
B.Deciding what you want to plant quickly.

26、The siesta competition took place in a supermarket, with plenty of shoppers, screaming babies, talking voices, and footsteps to take the competitors' attention away from their after-lunch sleeps.
Five bright blue sofas were laid out, and five competitors at a time were allowed to take a 20-minute sleep. A doctor tested their pulse (脉搏) to time how long they actually spent on sleep. Competitors earned extra points for snoring (打鼾), sleeping in strange positions, or wearing silly pajamas. The winners of each round move to the next stage in the competition.
It’s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle of such a busy place, while on couches that they are not used to. Yet, many of them did. They hugged pillows or soft toy bears. They covered their eyes with sleep masks, too, whatever it took to help them fall asleep fast and stay asleep.
The National Association of Friends of the Siesta wants to bring Spain back to their traditional roots. They are doing this by having the siesta competition. They set up the competition to reward the best sleepers with money. Actually, they were paid to sleep.
There are really health benefits to a mid-day nap. We could all learn from this tradition. It’s a much better way to get more energy than drinking a cup of coffee. It is also believed that a nap, and in fact a good night's sleep, can help reduce heart disease. The more rested we are, the less stress we feel with day-to-day life.
【1】The underlined word "siesta" here probably means “___________”.
A.over sleep
B.night sleep
C.a short sleep after supper
D.a short sleep after lunch
【2】In what situation did the competition take place?
A.In a noisy place.
B.In a quiet place.
C.In a comfortable place.
D.In a familiar place.
【3】When the competitors went to sleep, they could ___________.
A.have their own beds
B.use nothing to cover their eyes
C.have doctors to help them
D.use something to help them sleep
【4】The competition is held because the Association wants to ___________.
A.know if people still know the traditional habit
B.encourage people to have their traditional habit
C.do some research on how people sleep
D.give people money in this way
27、Reading is so much fun! You can also learn more from the texts and about the texts. One way you can do this with story books, passages, or poems is to explore their themes.
A theme is a central idea of the text, connecting the characters(人物)and events. The writer may express his or her thoughts through a theme. Themes can be ideas like the friendship, bravery, love or family. Make sure you know what the writer is saying.
Sometimes, it is hard to find out themes. First, the theme may not be able to be included in just one word. There may also be more than one theme in the text. What’s more, some themes are not presented in the text directly. You have to use clues(线索)in the texts to find them.
To explore the theme, the most important thing is to make sure you’ve read the whole text. Since themes develop over time, you can’t fully understand the themes until the end of the text. Then, ask yourself to sum up(概括)the text and try to work out a “big idea”. For example, did many characters solve problems with their families? If there was only one small problem with a character’s family, then “family” might not be the theme of the text. Finally, after finding out a “big idea”, go through the text to find examples that support this idea. You needn’t repeat every detail of the story—a few key examples will be fine.
Now you are ready to explore the theme of a text!
【1】What is a theme?
A.The writer’s words in the text.
B.A central idea of the text.
C.Reader’s own opinions about a book.
D.A story book, a passage, or a poem.
【2】Why is it difficult to find the theme according to Paragraph 3?
A.Because there are no clues in the text.
B.Because every text has lots of themes in it.
C.Because we can use one word as the theme.
D.Because the themes may not be found directly.
【3】How can you explore the theme?
A.Read the whole text.
B.Count the examples.
C.Repeat every detail.
D.Find one small problem.
【4】What is the best title(标题)of the passage?
A.Reading stories
B.Solving Problems
C.Exploring Themes
D.Writing Books
28、 Sam had always wanted to visit the International Space Station. He was really interested in the experiments that were happening there. He had read about growing food using water only. He thought that this was important as it was a way to provide food w【1】using land. Some of the techniques used in the Space Station had already been included in architectural plans for some super skyscrapers. So when Space Drams, a space travel company, held a competition, Sam decided to enter. The p【2】 was a trip to the Space Station itself!
The competition involved writing a description about how you would feel about traveling into space. Sam sat down and wrote how he thought it would fell. Buzz Aldrin, the astronaut was the judge. There were 1209.678 entries (参加的人),so Sam thought that there was n【3】 way he would be a winner. The day when the competition winner was announced, Sam was expecting a phone call. When the phone rang, he answered, "HI." A voice replied. "Hello, can I speak to Sam? This is Jack Mellow of Space Dreams." Jack told Sam he was the winner. Buzz had said that Sam's writing d【4】exactly how he had felt on his first space trip. Sam could not believe it. Jack had already arranged with Sam's school for him to take a few days off. He had to go to t【5】 before he could fly.
Sam learnt how to put on a space suit. Then he was put onto a machine and turned around. This was to help him get used to travelling at very fast speeds. He also learned how to move without gravity(重力)to k【6】him on the ground. That was fun. He could do summersaults and fly through the air well, walk through the air in reality. The day came for take-off. Sam felt really f【7】because he knew nothing about what would happen after taking off. He was with two other people and an instructor. He had to climb into a tiny capsule in the nose of a rocket. Then the rocket went quickly into space. Sam's dream came true.
29、Sometimes it is impossible to deliver(投递)all the mail that arrives at the post office. Perhaps there is an mailing address and there is no return address. The post office cannot just the mail, so it becomes “dead mail”. Dead mail is to one of the U.S. Post Service’s in Atlanta, New York, and San Francisco. Seventy-five million pieces of mail can be put in these offices in one year.
There the workers of the dead mail offices have ways to deal with all of these pieces of dead mail. First of all, they look for something that can help them deliver the mail; they open packages, expecting that something will show where the package came from or is going to. Dead mail will also be listed on a so that people can call in and check to see if a missing thing is there on the screen. However, all of this mail cannot simply be forever; there is just too much of it. When a lot of dead mail comes together, the dead mail offices hold public auctions (拍卖). Every three months, some people who are are invited to the offices with objects(物品) found in dead mail packages and they are sold to the bidder (出价者).
