29、Ireland has long been known for its strange slang (俚语) words and unusual use of the English language.
One expression-"the Jacks" -has long been used to describe the everyday toilet. Every Irish person knows what this term means, but few know they use it. In fact, it's difficult to find a dependable explanation. There are different stories behind this term, and one of them goes like this.
While Thomas Crapper is commonly known for inventing the first flushing (冲水) toilet in the late 1800s, the first ever multi-cubicle (多隔间) toilet dates back to 1806 to an Irish inventor by the name of Jack Power. Jack Power, a father of 38 children, was the first person in the world to develop a separate cubicle.
Due to the size of his family, Jack had to create something to meet their needs of using the toilet at the same time, so he built a large outhouse with five separate toilets. Following its success at home, Jack went on to produce cubicles for business and soon became very rich.
In 1811, Jack Power was named as one of Ireland's richest businessmen, but the fame and wealth soon brought something unpleasant. Jack patented (取得专利) his multiple toilet system and insisted on calling it a "Multipoo", but the people of Ireland preferred "Jacks" instead—a term first used by his children. This made Jack unhappy because he never liked his name having anything to do with going to the toilet. The more he insisted, the more people called the cubicle system "the Jacks".
Unable to stand what the Irish people had done, Jack later changed his name and moved to the UK with his family. There he began inventing new toilet systems and became the world's leading producer of toilet systems, which are still in operation today.
Whether this story is true or not is still open to question. All we can say for sure is that in Ireland today, "the Jacks" is still a term used to describe a toilet.
【1】What led to Jack Power inventing the multiple toilet system?
A.The story of Thomas Crapper.
B.His interest in doing creative work.

D.The needs of his unusual big family.
【2】Who first called Jack's toilet system "Jacks"?
A.Jack himself.
B.Jack's children.
C.The Irish people.
D.Thomas Crapper.
【3】Why did Jack leave his home country?
A.He was made fun of by the Irish people.
B.He wanted to try his toilet systems elsewhere.
C.He accepted a job in a world leading company.
D.He didn't like his name being related to toilets.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.A story behind "the Jacks".
B.An inventor named Jack Power.
C.The invention of multiple toilet systems.
D.An introduction to slang words in Ireland.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835-April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the 【1】 for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and 【2】 articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In 1865, his 【3】 story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention, and was even translated into 【4】 Greek. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned 【5】 from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.
Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he 【6】 in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its 【7】 and imprecision. Following these financial setbacks, he filed for protection from his creditors via bankruptcy, and with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers 【8】 overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.
Twain was born 【9】 after a visit by Halley’s Comet, and he predicted that he would go out with it, too. He died the day after the comet returned. He 【10】 himself as the “greatest American humorist of his age”, and William Faulkner called Twain “the father of American literature”.
32、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Getting up early has been regarded as a good habit since ancient times. Many years ago, people thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be energetic the whole day. So, getting up early is of great importance to us all.
In fact, morning is the best time of a day. In the morning, the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best condition. Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and correctly in the morning than at any other time of the day. And it is certain that we find it easier to understand what we learn in the morning. If we get up early and do some morning exercise or only take a short walk in the morning, without doubt we can build up our bodies and become much healthier. Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early. For example, if everyone in the family gets up early, wives will have enough time to prepare the breakfast for the whole family; children will have enough time to catch the school bus, and husbands will never forget to change their dirty shirt. Everything will be in order. However, if we get up late, we’ll probably have to do everything in a hurry.
Let us remember getting up early is a good habit and try our best to keep it. Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit of getting up early. They have to make an effort to do so. If we stick to getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from it.
