24、“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can carry on, one day something good will happen.”
After graduating from college in 1932, I decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer(播音员). I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I was refused every time. In one studio, a nice lady told me that big stations didn’t want to accept inexperienced persons. “Go to the countryside and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said.
I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied(申请). The job sounded just right for me. But I still failed in the interview. At that moment, mom’s words came to my mind: “Everything happens for the best.” Dad offered me a car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, I felt sad. I asked aloud, “How can a man become a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling, “What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday’s game!
On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words again: “Everything happens for the best if you carry on. One day something good will happen.”

26、 At night,you are just lying there, but the body is busy.
9:00 pm Get Comfortable
It usually takes about 15 or 20 minutes to fall asleep, with the most comfortable position. Some people sleep on their backs and some on their stomachs. Most people curl up in a "fetal position" like a baby in the womb(子宫). Other people like strange positions like sleeping on elbows(肘部) and knees.
9:20 pm I am Falling Asleep
You're about to sleep when suddenly you feel like falling. You even dream you are falling off a cliff. Your body jerks(抽搐). What's happening? Well, you are falling-asleep. Your body relaxes, but your brain is still active and when your muscles become less tense, your brain senses that you are in danger of falling. To save you, your brain sends a signal.
10:00 pm Did You Hear That?
Soon a loud sound breaks the peace. What? You are snoring. When this happens, you breathe through your mouth, and as you take in air, it makes the soft tissue(组织) at the back of your throat vibrate(振动). The bad news is that you may snore more as you get older, especially if you are a boy. The good news is that snoring is not usually a serious problem, unless of course, you wake up your little brother or sister.
11:00 pm Better Lock the Doors
Some sleepers get really busy during the first few hours of the night. Sleep walking, sleep talking and even bed wetting can be caused by the disagreement between your brain and your body. Sleepwalkers keep their eyes open and seems to see where they are going, but they are sound asleep. This behavior is a common among children, whose brains and bodies are still learning to work together.
4:00 am Dare to Dream
Nightmares(噩梦) or sweet dreams usually occur in the last hours of sleep. If you awaken in the middle of a dream, you might find it difficult to move for a moment or two. Certain parts of your brain have shut down, preventing messages from going to the muscles, temporarily(暂时地) disabling the body.
7:00 am But My Arm Is Still Asleep
Time to wake up, as you begin to move, a strange feeling floods down from your shoulder. Oh no, pins and needles! When pressure on your arm keeps the nerves(神经)from sending any messages to the brain, your arm loses all feelings. Don't worry if you wake up and your arm is still asleep. It'll be wide awake soon.
【1】Which picture best describe the underlined words “fetal position”?
A. B.
C. D.
【2】When do you have a feeling of falling?
A.When you are sound asleep. B.When you are having a dream.
C.When you are moving at night. D.When you are about to falling asleep.

A.Luckily, girls will snore less as they get older.
B.Snoring is a serious problem so we should avoid it.
C.When you snore, you won’t use your nose to take in air.
D.It is because the soft tissue of the throat vibrates itself.
【4】According to this passage, it’s common that .

【5】What’s the best title of this passage?

27、You either have it, or you don’t-a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
If you are using a map, turn it so that it relates to(与……有联系) the way you are facing.
If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree-something easy to recognize. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
Simplify(简化) the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as towerblocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.
Now you will never get lost again!
【1】Children have the ability to find the way around when they are ______years old.
A. 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8
【2】Which of the following things cannot be used as landmarks?
A. Tower blocks. B. Hills. C. Wells. D. Bikes.
【3】What does the underlined word “emphasize” mean in the passage?
A. To give special importance to something.
B. To express thanks for somebody.
C. To understand or become aware of a fact.
D. To admire somebody.
【4】Scientists believe that __________.
A. some babies are born with a sense of direction
B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
C. people never lose their sense of direction
D. everybody has a sense of direction from birth
【5】What may be the best title of the passage?
A. A research on direction. B. A sense of direction.
C. People’s ability of finding the way. D. Scientists’ research on skills.

Facts you don’t know about animals
People have already known a lot about animals. However, there are still some things about animals that may surprise you. Here are some facts about animals you probably didn’t know.
Cows
Cows do have best friends and feel stressed (焦虑的) when they are separated (分开). Sometimes they even a【1】 humans when they are too nervous and angry. However, scientists also found that cows are very social animals and a cow always makes friends with other cows in the herd (兽群). When a cow is with its friend, its heart rate is reduced compared with when it is a【2】 or with a cow from another herd.
Penguins
During breeding (繁殖) season, a male penguin will offer a pebble (卵石) to a female penguin as a g【3】. If she takes it, they will become partners. When the female penguin lays an egg, she and her husband may c【4】 it on their feet, because some penguins don’t build nests.
Crocodiles
When crocodiles eat something, they always swallow (吞) their prey. They don’t chew it like other animals. To help with digestion (消化), they swallow stones which grind up the food in their stomachs. But these stones can h【5】 be defecated (排泄掉), so they may stay in their stomachs all their lives.
Elephants
Elephants use plants to get rid of p【6】 or other illness. Scientists once found a pregnant (怀孕的) elephant in Kenya who kept eating a kind of plant for a few days, while this kind of plant was not part of her regular d【7】. Four days later, she could give birth to a baby elephant quietly. The same plant was used by the local women to help with labor (分娩).
