Strange thing happens to time when you travel. Because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones one hour apart, you can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.
If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone (时区)every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes the hour. Travelling west, you set your clock back; travelling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.
If you travel by ship across the Pacific you cross the International Date Line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar the full day, backward or forward. Travelling east, today becomes yesterday; travelling west, it is tomorrow!
41. The best title for this passage is __.
A. A Trip Across the Atlantic B. How Time Changes Around the World
C. Crossing the International Date Time D. How Time Zones Were Set up

If you ask some people: “How did you learn English so well?” you may get a surprising answer: “In my sleep!”
These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments to test learn-while-you-sleep methods, which are now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects, of which English is only one.
Specialists say that this sleep-study method speeds language learning greatly. They say that the average (平均) person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day -- and this does not affect his rest in any way. A word of warning, however, sleep-teaching will only force your head to learn what you have studied already while you are awake.
In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio continually for two weeks. Each lesson lasted twelve hours -- from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. . The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were given with the student awake. At 11 p.m. a sleep song was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio whispered the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to review the lesson. Then soft songs went him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 o’clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.
45. The learn-while-you-sleep method __ than other learning methods.
A. can get better result B. is more acceptable C. is more tiring D. is harder
46. By this method, one __.
A. starts to learn a new lesson in sleep B. learns how to sleep better
C. is made to review his lessons in sleep D. can listen to broadcast while in bed
47. In the experiment, lessons were given __.
A. in the night-time B. after soft songs were broadcast
C. while the student was awake D. all through the twelve hours
48. Before each lesson finishes, the students has to __.
A. get up and take breakfast B. be wakened by a loud noise
C. listen to the lesson again in sleep D. review the lesson by himself
C
One of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge () of the game which even the smallest schoolboy seems to have. He can tell you the names of players in most of the important teams. He has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He will tell you who he expects to win such and such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three of four times his age.
Most schools in England take football seriously -- much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all that are important, and games are left for the children themselves. In England, it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in the classroom, education also means the training of character, and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games, where the boy or girl has to learn to work with others for his team, instead of working for himself alone. The school, therefore, plans games and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game, good both for the body and the mind. That is why it is every school’s game in England. (217)
49. In England schoolboys seem to __.
A. know a great deal about football games B. learn football in class
C. know all the result of football matches D. work together in football teams
50. In England a boy’s opinion of a match is often __.
A. three or four times better than that of grown men
B. worse than that grown men
C. as good as that of grown men
D. worth considering three or four times
51. In almost all European schools, lessons are __.
A. left for the children themselves B. what the children like best
C. as important as football games D. considered the most important
52. In England education means __.
A. filling children’s mind with stories
B. more than the teaching of knowledge
C. the teaching of lessons only
D. training character by means of football games

Australia is an island and it is a continent. It is the largest island in the world but it is the smallest continent. It is almost 7.7million sq. km. Compared with China, China is about 2 million sq. km. larger.
Australia is in the south of the world. It lies between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The Indian Ocean is to the west and the south. The Pacific Ocean is to the east.
Most of the western half of Australia is highland. But it is not very high, and the land is rather flat (平坦). High flat land is not called mountains. It is called Plateau. The west of Australia is called the Western-Australian Plateau. It is about 300 m high.
There is high land in the east of Australia, too. Some of it is plateau and some of it is mountains. The highest mountain is in the southeast. It is called MT Kosciusko. It is 2228 m high. This high land in the east is sometimes called the Great Dividing Range. It has this name because it divides the east coast from the rest of the country. Between the Great Dividing Range and the western Australian Plateau the land is low. This part of the country is called the Central Lowlands.
The only big river in Australia is the River Murray. It begins in the mountains in the southeast of the country and it runs westward into the Indian Ocean.

September 10th Sunday Fine
Today is Teachers’ Day. My classmates and I went to visit Mr Li this afternoon. Mr Li taught us English when we were in Junior Grade Three. He retired the year before last.
Mr Li was very glad to see us again. He asked about our life, work and studies. We talked for nearly an hour. I felt Mr Li’s heart was still in the school with his students.
When we left, we heartily wished our teacher good health and happiness forever.
