It is surprising that eating three meals a day -- breakfast, lunch and dinner -- has been a custom only since 1890. Before this time, they only had two meals a day -- breakfast and dinner.
In the 16th century, breakfast was only to break one’s fast (随便吃一点). But 200 years later it had became a large meal, not just for family, but for numbers guests as well. It was a social event. It began at 10 a.m. and lasted until 1 p.m. Then breakfast began to be less popular. It became, instead, a lighter meal and was taken at a much earlier hour. By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a. m. and became a family meal.
Dinner, however, went to the other way. In the 16th century it was eaten at 11p.m.Years later, it had moved to the early afternoon, then to 5 p. m. By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 p. m. Lunch is a recent idea. It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap(间隙)between breakfast and dinner.

Greenwich (格林威治)is on the River, five miles from the middle of London, and its history is two thousand years old. The first English people were fishermen there, and they named the place Greenwich, meaning “green village”. Later the English kings and queens lived at Greenwich in their beautiful places.
The name of the earliest palace was Placentia. Henry VIII lived there. He knew that England must be strong at sea. So he started two big ship-yards (船坞)at Greenwich. But trouble was coming to Greenwich. In 1649, a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king. The men who had worked for him at Placentia
decided to live the place themselves. They sold all its beautiful things. Finally, the war ended and King Charles II came back. But Placentia was falling down. So King Charles built a new and bigger palace, which is now open to the public.
At this time, Charles was worried about losing so many of its ships at sea: their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were. So in 1675, Charles made John Flamsteed, the first astronomer (天文学家)in England, try to find the answer. Flamsteed worked in a new building on the high ground in Greenwich Park. From it with a telescope which he made himself, Flamsteed could look all round the sky. And he did, night after night, for twenty years. Carrying on Flamsteed’s work a hundred years later, an astronomer called Harrison finally made a clock which told the time at sea, and helped sailors to know where they were. You can see Harrison’s clock, still working, in Greenwich’s museum of the sea. Because of Flamsteed’s work, every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich Time.
35. The first English people living in the “green village” were __________. A. sailors B. King Charles and his family C. fishermen D. The families of kings and queens 36. What kind of trouble came to Greenwich in 1649?
A. Placentia was destroyed. B. King Henry died.
C. Ship-yards were built. D. A war started in England. 37. Charles made John Flamsteed try to find _____________.
A. how to build strong ships B. how to tell sailors’ positions at sea C. how to tell the exact time D. a place to set up a telescope 38. Who made the first clock which could tell the time at sea? A. Harrison B. Flamsteed C. Henry D. Charles

Kitty is a little black-and-brown Australian dog. It’s not a particularly bright dog. While Dad can make my sister and me afraid just by the tone of his voice, I have never heard him raise his voice at Kitty. In fact, one look from Kitty at the biscuit tin is enough to send my dad flying to get him a snack. Whenever we protest(抗议) about the unfair treatment, Dad has a sorry smile on his face. It’s become a long-standing family joke that Kitty is the closest thing to a son Dad will ever have.
Then, five years ago, our lives were turned upside down when Dad suffered two major strokes(中风)within a month. For four long months, mentally he was non-responsive. We had to take turns standing by his bedside to protect him. We were exhausted after every \I couldn’t help but talk about Kitty constantly, often hoping that Dad could show some awareness of what I said.
Then one day, without even realizing it, I blurted out(脱口而出), “Is Kitty a tiger?” Dad began to smile. It was the first sign in four months that Dad had showed any awareness of what I said. Seeing this, the whole family felt a huge weight lift from our shoulders.
Over the next nine months, Dad had to learn all the basic things we take for
granted. Dad, who was an independent man with a successful career before all this happened, found it increasingly frustrating(令人沮丧的). The only thing that ever brought a smile to his face was talk of Kitty.
When we massaged(按摩)Dad’s arms and legs to prevent his muscles from weakening, I would always say: “Now all you need is Kitty to give you a ‘lick-lick’ foot massage!” No matter how many times I repeated this comment, the whole family would laugh.
39. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that Dad_________. A. liked sons more than daughters B. liked Kitty very much C. was strict with his daughters D. felt sorry about raising Kitty 40. How did the author feel after seeing Dad’s smiling to her talk of Kitty? A. Doubtful. B. Angry. C. Happy. D. Regretful. 41. During the next nine months, Dad_________.
A. felt discouraged while learning the basic things B. enjoyed being massaged by three women C. often needed the stories of Kitty D. would like Kitty to accompany him
42. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A dog rescues its owner from danger. B. A dog helps a family get together.

A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression(情绪低落) as young adults.
The researchers used a national long-term survey of adolescent（青少年的）health to survey the relationship between media use and depression. They based their findings on more than 4,000 adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in the year 2000.
As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of five and one-half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.
Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was twenty-one.
The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games or radio, etc. But the study did find that every extra hour of television meant an eight percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. Young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.
The study didn’t explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.
