第二部分：阅读理解
Passage One
When John and Fred got home, it was a quarter past seven. It was dark outside but there was a light inside there home and the door was open. They could see a man inside.
“Who could it be?” said John, “Mother and father have gone to do shopping. They will come back after eight.” When the boys came, the man looked frightened. Then he smiled and said, “Come in! You don’t me but I’m a friend of your father’s. He asked me to fetch some money for him.” The man didn’t see Fred. John went inside and talked to the man but Fred didn’t do so. He ran away quickly to look for a policeman and soon he found one. He brought him back to their home. The man still there, but when he saw the policeman, the man tried to run away. The policeman stopped him and held his arm. Just at that moment the boy’s father returned.
All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it.
The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature — no living thing was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel?
Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighted a lot.
It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker a long time to imagine two thin slices of log connected at their centers by a strong stick. Thus the wheel and axle came into being, and with them the first carts.

Passage Four
After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good healthy. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye moment. If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sheep!

Passage Three
Someday in the future we may not need to have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people don’t need to carry any coins for currency at all? Is money heavy to carry? Is it safe to carry money? Maybe in the future each of us will have only one small plastic credit card. We will use it to buy all the things we now buy with money. We will not need money to pay for things. Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards that we now have with money. Sometimes we lose money. Maybe we will lose cards. People steal money. Maybe someone will take the card. Someone may even make a card that looks like our card. Since we can’t buy anything without our cards, the credit card may be no better than currency.
Is there something ever easier to use than credit cards? All of us have a thumbprint. No two thumbprints are the same. Maybe someday the government will keep people’s t56=humbprints with a number. No person will have the same thumbprint or number. When you want to buy

You are probably sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876—1947), concluded from other men’s work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate the temperature have a definite effect on your mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.
Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be good time to take a long vacation from thinking!
