The weather was fine last night. My friend named Steve and I decided to sleep in the open air. I found the sleeping bags under the bed in my room. I also packed some snacks (零食).

“Maybe it is just a small animal,” I said. Steve said nothing, but I could feel he was frightened. After I looked around, I was sure it wasn’t an animal. It was my little brother, Tommy.
“What are you doing here?” I asked. “You know, Tommy, you frightened us.”

Why is 2004 a special year? Because it is a Leap Ye ar (闰年)! What’s so special about that? Well, Leap Year happens only once every four years. And it has 366 days instead of (而不是) the usual 365. In a Leap Year, we have 29 days in February, while in a usual year we have only 28 days.
Why do we have a Leap Year? We have a Leap Year so we can keep the calendar (日历) in step with the seasons. The calendar is a kind of clock for the whole year. But ho w long is a year? A calendar year is 365 days. However, a true year is actually 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds long. That’s the time it takes the
earth to travel around the sun. So every four years we have one more day, and we put it at the end of February —— the shortest month of a year. Then we have a Leap Year.
( )51. How often can we have a Leap Year?
A. Every year.
B. Every February.
C. Every other year.
D. Every four years.
( )52. What is a calendar? It is a kind of clock .
A. for the whole year
B. only for Leap Year
C. for the usual year
D. for the unusual year
( )53. How long does it take the earth to travel around the sun? It takes the earth to travel around the sun.
A. a day
B. a little longer than 365 days
C. a year
D. a
month

Wonder why you can get angry so easily while your desk mate smiles all the time?
Well, your blood (血) type may be playing a part here.
Personality is about how people think, behave, and react (反应) to everything around them from day to day.
So what makes people think and behave in certain ways?
Part of the reason is because people are born like this. A baby gets its blood type and other things when it’s still inside its mother’s stomach. These things may help decide what the baby will be like.
But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family lift, school learning and life experiences (经历) can all play a part.
Does this mean it’s not possible to change? No, of course not! You can always try to make yourself better.
Don’t get over-worried about your shortcomings (缺点). Just accept (接受) them.
This is a good way to start making changes.
If you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy (害羞) ? Tell yourself to try to smile at people. Start talking to people using warm greetings.
Don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. It’s not easy to change a lifetime
of habits (习惯) in one night.
Keep working at it. One day you’ll see that you can turn over a new leaf and
be a new you!
( )56. You can easily get angry just because of your blood type.
( )57. One can’t change his personality forever.
( )58. Family life and school learning may help you make yourself better. ( )59. If you have shortcomings, you’ll have no friends at all.
( )60. It’s impossible for people to change a habit.
