25、判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“A”表示，不符合的用“B”表示。

This famous poem, with four couplets（对句）, was written by Du Fu（712—770, Tang Dynasty）when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful for nature.

The very first word, “Good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification（拟人化）, as if the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmer’s busy season.

When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.

In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.

Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom（盛开）after the rain.

【1】The Chinese title of the poem is “Ye Yu Ji Be”.

【2】The rhyme（韵律）for this poem is ab—ab—cd—cd.

【3】The word “quiet” can be used to describe the rain in this poem.

【4】The sentence “With wind it steals in night” uses personification.

【5】Xu Yuanchong wanted to show that he’s thankful for nature in this poem.

Do you know a traditional toy called taiping nijiaojiao? It is a clay toy and also a whistle（哨子）in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu with a history of over 1,000 years.

27、Studies have shown that a good night’s rest helps us stay healthy, both mentally（精神上的）and physically. Dr. Michael Twery, an expert on the science of sleep and sleep disorders says, “Getting a good night’s sleep is important for learning because it stores the training and learning exercises into our long-term memory while we were sleeping 7 to 8 hours. And then the next morning, our mind is better prepared to perform.”

But what about getting some rest during the middle of the day? Does napping (sleeping for a short time) also help our brain work better? If it is really helpful, then how long can a proper nap last?

Napping can help babies and young children learn better. Also, it can stop older people suffering from memory loss. Some people have sleep problems at night, so they nap during the day as a way of paying off a sleep debt. They hope napping may make them feel less tired and sleepy during the day. In America, it is a shame for people to admit that they do take a nap. They suppose napping shows they are weak or short of energy. That only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap is a widely-accepted opinion. However, that may be changing. Many offices now offer napping rooms, and napping cafes are appearing in many U. S. cities.

Unlike America, napping is part of a normal, everyday life in other parts of the world. For example, China is generally considered as a land of nappers. Researchers found nearly 60 percent of old Chinese people took a nap after lunch and most of them napped for about an hour. The study found that people who took an hour-long nap did much better on mental tests than those who did not nap or who napped for longer periods. It seems that the most helpful nap lasted for about an hour.

But Dr. Michael Twery mentions that an hour-long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. “We’re suggesting that we try to nap fer about 30 minutes or less. And 30 minutes is enough to help us feel more awake.” He also found that someone who naps because of bad sleep at previous night may not experience the same improvements from napping as a healthy, well-rested would. So, the right thing to do is to get enough sleep at night and take a proper nap for about 30 minutes. But remember not to take a nap later than 3: 00 in the afternoon, which may cause a sleep problem.

【1】According to the passage, Dr. Michael Twery probably agrees that ________.

A．napping only helps the healthy, well-rested people improve their brain performance

B．napping shows people are very sick and lazy in some countries

C．people had better take a nap before 3: 00 in the afternoon

D．young, healthy adults should nap longer than older people

【2】The underlined words “paying off a sleep debt” probably mean ________.

A．having some sleep during the work

B．making up for shortness of sleep

C．trying to sleep for longer hours

D．improving the sleep quality

【3】What can we know from the passage?

A．Only the one-hour napper group finished their mental test.

B．China has the most young nappers in the whole world.

C．People should be better prepared to get a good nap.

D．More and more Americans are accepting napping.

【4】This passage is probably from ________.

A．a guide book

B．a science report

C．a magazine

D．a diary

28、   “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are” are s【1】requests for direction. B【2】are correct, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question 【3】 (correct). We also need to learn how to 【4】polite when we ask for help. Good speakers change the way they speak in different situations. The expressions they use might depend  【5】whom they are speaking to or how well they know each other. It is all right to ask your classmates direct questions because you know them well. 【6】if you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip?”, this might sound i【7】. But if say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?”, this will sound much more polite. Usually people use polite questions 【8】(include) expressions such as “Could you please...?” or “May I ask…?” to show good manners. Sometimes we even need to spend time 【9】 (lead) into a request. For example, we might first say to a stranger, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but” before 【10】(ask) for help.
