四、阅读理解(10分)
【 A 】
Everyone must go to bed early and get up early, or we won’t be healthy and clever.
Is this true? Maybe it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every day. If you don’t go to bed early, you won’t h ave enough sleep. Then you can’t think correctly and can’t do your work correctly. You’ll not be clever.
Some people go to bed late and get up late. This is not good for them. We must sleep at night when it is dark(黑暗的). The dark helps us to sleep well. When the daytime comes, we must get up. This is the time for exercise. If you lack exercise, the body becomes weak. Exercise keeps a strong body.
Exercise helps the blood（血液）flow（流动） around inside the body. This is very important. Blood takes food to all parts of our body. The brain also needs blood. If we keep our body healthy and take exercise, we can think better.

【 B 】
Once upon a time, there was a spider(蜘蛛) with the name Anansi. He knew that he was very clever but he also knew he wasn’t wise(英明的). He didn’t like this, but he did not know what to do. One day he had an idea. He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their wisdom(智慧). The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most. So each person put a little in his basket and wished him good luck.
Soon his basket was full, but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous(嫉妒)of his wisdom and take it from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. When he tied(绑) the basket to the front part of his body, he tried to climb the tree, but it was too difficult. He tried again and again but failed(失败).
Then his youngest son walked by, “What are you doing, father?” he asked and Anansi told hi m. “Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead?” his son said.
Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily, but he wasn’t happy. “I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the
wisest person , but my baby son is still wiser than me. Take back your wisdom!” he said. And he threw the basket of wisdom into the air and went home. And that’s how wisdom went all over the world.
