I think the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is 131
getting up in the morning. He is almost sick when my mother calls, "Herbert! 132
It's seven o'clock! Get up!"
133
Herbert answers, "I'm coming!" and goes right back to sleep. I'm not 134
at all like my brother. I don't like to go to bed at night but I don't 135
mind getting up in the morning. I usually wake up before my mother calls 136
me. I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take a shower. I get 137
dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go downstairs for 138
breakfast as soon as my mother calls.
139
But not Herbert. He just sleeps. A military band (军乐队) in our 140
bedroom could not wake him up. I call him and say, "Get up! Mum will be 141
up here to pull you out of bed if you don't get up immediately!"
142
But he just sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to 143
come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. It's that way every day with 144
my little brother. Perhaps some day he'll learn to get up on time, but 145
I really don't think so.

One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all 234
the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. 235
People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary (必236

On Christmas Eve─the night before Christmas Day─children all over 320
Britain put a stocking at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. 321
Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas will come during 322
the night.
323
Father Christmas is very kind and hearted. He gets to the top of each 324
house and climbs down the chimney into the fireplace. He fills each of 325
the stockings with Christmas presents.
326
Of course, Father Christmas isn't real. In Jim and Kate's house, 327
"Father Christmas" is really Mr Green. Mr Green doesn't climb down the 328
chimney. He waits until the children are asleep. Then he quietly goes into 329
their bedrooms and fills their stockings with small presents. When they 330
were very young, Mr Green sometimes wore a red coat. But he doesn't do 331
that now. The children are no longer young, and they know who "Father 332

their beds.

To find out whether bees（蜜蜂）can see colours, the following 356
experiment is made. A round table is put in a garden, and on the table 357
is a piece of blue cardboard（硬纸版）with a drop of syrup（糖浆）on it. 358
After a short time, bees come to the syrup. The bees then fly to their 359
hive（蜂房）and give the syrup to other bees in the hive. Then they return 360
to the feeding-place which they have found. After a while, the blue 361
cardboard with the syrup on it is taken away. Instead of this card, a blue 362
card is now put on the left side of the first feeding-place and a red card 363
to its right. These new cards have no syrup on them. Very soon bees arrive 364
again, and fly straight to the blue card. None go to the red card.

Now satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are 389
in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take 390
pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms 391
（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So 392
meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. 393
From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will 394
change.
395
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries 396
receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the 397
meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may 398
find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean 399
that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather 400
forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
401
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. 402
Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the 403
weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for 404
three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather 405
for a week or more ahead（提前）.

407
A. in space
B. in the atmosphere

C. above the ground

atmosphere? Because __________.
411
A. the weather satellites can do it easily

B. clouds form there

C. the weather forms there

In almost every big university（大学）in the United States, football 432
is a favourite sport. American football is different. Players sometimes 433
kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to 434
take it to the other end of the field. They have four chances（机会）435
to move the ball ten yards（码）. They can carry it or they can throw it. 436
If they move the ball ten yards, they can try to move it another ten yards. 437
If they move it to the end of the field, they receive six points（点）. 438
It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the other team try 439
to stop the man with the ball. If he does not move the ball ten yards, 440
his team kicks the ball the other team.
441
Each university wants its own team to win. Many thousands of people 442
come to watch. They all shout for their favourite team.
443
Young men and women come on the field to help the people shout more. 444
They dance and jump while they shout.
445

“Who has more questions, a teacher or a student?”About this 472
question a great learned man told his student that nobody does but a 473
teacher.
