It was Mother's Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn't go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind. “I'll send Mum some roses (玫瑰).”
While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam？” he asked. The assistant was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen (一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨).
“No, I have to have red roses,” he said. “My mum was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses as rose is her favourite.”
After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the assistant said, “Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you.”Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty five dollars John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.
As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon he realized it was not a park but a cemetery (墓地). Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses,“Mum, oh, Mum, why didn't I tell you how much I loved you？ God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”

It was reported today that in China, 56% of people who write blogs(博客) do so as a personal diary and 83% use their blogs for sending messages to friends. It was also found that there is a strong East West difference. In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers but in China, blogs are more likely to be about sharing personal feelings.
It seems that bloggers can be divided into three types： IT(信息技术) bloggers, bloggers who record their ordinary feelings and media(媒体) bloggers.
When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people now have had over a million people read their blogs.
The next wave of bloggers did not have any training as writers or in IT and wrote about normal daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday bloggers lost most of their readers. Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written words.
However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number. It seems that blogging is the new way to express your feelings. People feel like the world is listening to, or rather reading, their problems, even if they are not.
(　)42. From the passage we know that　　　.
A. 56% of the Chinese write blogs
B. people in US like to read blogs for news
C. the Chinese share feelings with each other mainly through blogs
D. the way that Chinese use blogs is not different from the West
(　)43. 　　　wrote more blogs at the very beginning and now have more readers than others.
A. IT bloggers B. Media bloggers
C. Normal bloggers D. US bloggers
(　)44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A. There will be more and more normal bloggers.
B. Only bloggers express their feelings through the Internet.
C. All people in the world are listening to the bloggers' voice.
D. Media bloggers have more readers because of their popularity.
(　)45. The underlined expression in the last paragraph can be best replaced by “　　　”.
A. decreasing B. appearing
C. arrived D. growing

When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people now have had over a million people read their blogs.
The next wave of bloggers did not have any training as writers or in IT and wrote about normal daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday bloggers lost most of their readers. Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written words.
However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number. It seems that blogging is the new way to express your feelings. People feel like the world is listening to, or rather reading, their problems, even if they are not.
( 　)42. From the passage we know that________.
A. 56% of the Chinese write blogs
B. people in US like to read blogs for news
C. the Chinese share feelings with each other mainly through blogs
D. the way that Chinese use blogs is not different from the West

In the summer holiday, I went to Australia as an exchange student. I had a meaningful time there.
I set off from Guangzhou by air and arrived in Sydney 13 hours later. In the first week, I studied in a local school with the local students. So I improved my English a lot. During the second week, I went to visit some places of interest in Sydney and took some photos of special animals.

Almost all people like flowers. Some people like flowers because of their smells, shapes, colours and so on. Others like flowers because they think different flowers have different meanings. Flowers have their own language. For example, red roses mean “love” and sunflowers mean “loyalty(忠诚)”. People in more than 100 countries have chosen their own national flowers which say something about their countries' spirit. In 1994, China announced to choose a national flower. Some people liked the peony(牡丹) but others liked the plum blossom(梅花). They couldn't agree with each other. So it has not been decided yet.
People like to buy different flowers in different seasons. Where do all the beautiful flowers in shops come from？ They may come from faraway places, so the prices are high.
a. Farmers grow flowers in their fields.
b. Planes, trains or buses take the flowers to different places.
c. Flower shopkeepers buy flowers from the flower markets. They look after the flowers and throw away the broken or bad ones. They cut the flowers to make them more beautiful.
d. You go to buy the flowers in the shops. When you buy a flower, you're paying lots of people： the farmer, the driver of the plane, train or bus, the seller in the flower market and the flower shopkeeper.
So you'd better keep your flowers for a long time. But how？ Why not dry them？ It's easy！ Sand drying is a way. Dry and clean sand is one of the oldest things for drying flowers. And it's also one of the cheapest ways.
Fill a box half way with sand.
Put the flowers on top of the sand.
Put the box in a warm and dry place.
Leave the flowers there for one to three weeks.

It is not easy for people to sail (航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents can happen easily and quickly.
One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. Luckily these people had another small boat—a lifeboat, so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped. At last people in a ship saved them.
How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time？ They must be strong in every way, they must have a hope, and they must have a strong desire(愿望)to live. People cannot drink seawater. If they drink a lot of sea water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. So people can not cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw (生的) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food. They must eat raw food, or they will die.
34. When the boat sank (下沉), the lifeboat gave the people 　　　.
A. food　　B. beds　C. rainwater 　D. hope
(　)35. One family once had an accident at sea, because 　　　.
A. their boat met bad weather

C. nobody knew how to sail
D. a fish bit holes in their boat
(　)36. People can catch 　　　 for food and drink at sea in a lifeboat.

Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother's Day, but not many know Mother's Day is actually a festival from overseas. Mother's Day originated in America during the early 20th century. The festival spread to China as early as in the 1980s and was widely accepted.
Why did a foreign festival become popular in China？ In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial(孝顺的)devotion to parents. There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China. For example, the story of Taste Liquid (液体的)Medicine for Mother tells us the filial virtue(美德)of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also, mother's love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion. On special days, people often use roses or forget me nots to express love. Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own flower for mothers—the tiger lily.
Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.
(　) 38. When did Mother's Day spread to China？
A. In the 1920s.
B. In the 1980s.
C. In the Western Han Dynasty.
D. In the Tang Dynasty.
(　) 39. What is the poem of Song of the Parting Son mainly about？
A. The filial virtue of Emperor Wen.
B. Caring for the old.
C. Traditional Chinese medicine.
D. A mother's love for her son.
(　) 40. What is regarded as the Chinese own flower for a mother？
　
(　) 41. What a mother truly wants on Mother's Day may be 　　　.
A. a big dinner
B. a celebration party
C. greetings of the festival
D. expensive presents

It is not easy for people to sail (航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents can happen easily and quickly.
One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. Luckily these people had another small boat—a lifeboat, so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped. At last people in a ship saved them.
How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time They must be strong in every way, they must have a hope, and they must have a strong desire(愿望)to live. People cannot drink seawater. If they drink a lot of sea-water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. So people can not cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw (生的) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food. They must eat raw food, or they will die.
( 　)34. When the boat sank (下沉), the lifeboat gave the people ________.
A. food B. beds C. rainwater D. hope
( 　)35. One family once had an accident at sea, because ________.

Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother's Day, but not many know Mother's Day is actually a festival from overseas. Mother's Day originated in America during the early 20th century. The festival spread to China as early as in the 1980s and was widely accepted.
Why did a foreign festival become popular in China In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial(孝顺的)devotion to parents. There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China. For example, the story of Taste Liquid (液体的)Medicine for Mother tells
us the filial virtue(美德)of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also, mother's love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion. On special days, people often use roses or forget-me-nots to express
love. Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own flower for mothers—the tiger lily.
Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.
( 　) 38. When did Mother's Day spread to China？
A. In the 1920s.
B. In the 1980s.
C. In the Western Han Dynasty.
D. In the Tang Dynasty.
( 　) 39. What is the poem of Song of the Parting Son mainly about
A. The filial virtue of Emperor Wen.
B. Caring for the old.
C. Traditional Chinese medicine.
D. A mother's love for her son.
B
D
( 　) 40. What is regarded as the Chinese own flower for a mother
D
( 　) 41. What a mother truly wants on Mother's Day may be ________.
A. a big dinner
B. a celebration party
C. greetings of the festival
D. expensive presents

Many people have forgetfulness (健忘). And, yes, I was one of those forgetful people before. So I've had to develop some kinds of ways to improve it.
How do you know you are forgetful？
You know it： when people ask whether you've found the answers they wanted, but you can't remember them； if you often have trouble remembering where your keys are, or where you have parked your car in the parking lot； if you miss meetings； or if you can never remember a person's name even a few seconds after being introduced.
The following are some of my tips for helping you.
Can't find the keys. Right now get a small box and set it on a table in your kitchen. When you come back home, always put your keys in this box. The “key” to remembering where your keys are is to always put them back in the same place at once every time you come back home.
Can't find your car in the parking lot. I kept running into this problem until one day I solved (解决)it quite easily. Now I always park in the first or second row (排) to the left of the entrance (入口). That way, when I come out, I naturally start walking toward where my car is parked because it has become a habit.
(　)38. When you 　　　, you are NOT forgetful.
A. often forget where you car key is
B. often forget where you parked your car
C. often miss appointments
D. can remember something easily
(　)39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A. If you lose your keys, you must have
forgetfulness.
B. The writer gave us four ways to solve the forgetfulness.
C. The writer used to have a better habit of remembering things.
D. The writer has a better memory than before.
(　)40. Where does the writer often park now？
A. In the first or second row to the left of the entrance.
B. In the last row to the left of the entrance.
C. In the first or second row to the right of the entrance.
D. In the last row to the right of the entrance.
(　)41. What does this passage mainly talk about？
A. The memory. B. Forgetfulness.
C. The car key. D. The parking lot.

“No man is an island” is a well known line from John Donne's Devotion(约翰·多恩的《奉献》——诗集). It was written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life will become empty and sad. We all need to have friends.
For some of us, although making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. It has been sold millions of copies and put into 28 languages.
Dale's advice seems to be simple, but it can help you. Do you need to change the way you act？ Here is the list of advice from his book：
Be friendly and polite.
Always greet with a smile. Remember to say “Thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
Go out of your way to be nice.
Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.
Remember names.
They say that the sweetest music to a person's ears is the sound of his or her own name.
Be open minded.
Try to understand other people's ways and ideas and learn something from them.
Listen patiently.
When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.
(　)42. The underlined sentence “No one can live a completely isolated life.” means “　　　”
A. No one can live a hard life.
B. No one can live alone.
C. No one can live without difficulty.
D. No one can live on an island.
(　)43. What is the passage mainly about？
A. Suggestions about making friends.
B. A show about friendship.
C. Getting to know others.
D. Advice on how to become smarter.
(　)44. How can people show that they are friendly and polite？
A. By remembering others' names.
B. By understanding other people's ideas.
C. By always smiling at others.
D. By looking at others when they are talking.
(　)45. Why is it difficult for some people to make friends？
A. Because their lives are empty and sad.
B. Because they are too old to make friends.
C. Because they are shy to make the first step.
D. Because they don't want to move out of the island.

Many people have forgetfulness (健忘). And, yes, I was one of those forgetful people before. So I've had to develop some kinds of ways to improve it.
How do you know you are forgetful
You know it: when people ask whether you've found the answers they wanted, but you can't remember them; if you often have trouble remembering where your keys are, or where you have parked your car in the parking lot; if you miss meetings; or if you can never remember a person's name even a few seconds after being introduced.
The following are some of my tips for helping you.
Can't find the keys. Right now get a small box and set it on a table in your kitchen. When you come back home, always put your keys in this box. The “key” to remembering where your keys are is to always put them back in the same place at once every time you come back home.
Can't find your car in the parking lot. I kept running into this problem until one day I solved (解决)it quite easily. Now I always park in the first or second row (排) to the left of the entrance (入口). That way, when I come out, I naturally start walking toward where my car is parked because it has become a habit.
( 　)38. When you ________, you are NOT forgetful.
A. often forget where you car key is
B. often forget where you parked your car
C. often miss appointments
D. can remember something easily
( 　)39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. If you lose your keys, you must have
forgetfulness.
B. The writer gave us four ways to solve the forgetfulness.
C. The writer used to have a better habit of remembering things.
D. The writer has a better memory than before.
D
D
( 　)40. Where does the writer often park now
A. In the first or second row to the left of the entrance.
B. In the last row to the left of the entrance.
C. In the first or second row to the right of the entrance.
D. In the last row to the right of the entrance.
( 　)41. What does this passage mainly talk about
A. The memory. B. Forgetfulness.
C. The car key. D. The parking lot.

“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne's Devotion(约翰·多恩的《奉献》——诗集). It was written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life will become empty and sad. We all need to have friends.
For some of us, although making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale
Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. It has been sold millions of copies and put into 28 languages.
Dale's advice seems to be simple, but it can help you. Do you need to change the way you act Here is the list of advice from his book:
Be friendly and polite.
Always greet with a smile. Remember to say “Thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
Go out of your way to be nice.
Find some time to do special things for other people.
Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.
Remember names.
They say that the sweetest music to a person's ears is the sound of his or her own name.
Be open-minded.
Try to understand other people's ways and ideas and learn something from them.
Listen patiently.
When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.
( 　)42. The underlined sentence “No one can live a completely isolated life.” means “________”
A. No one can live a hard life.
B. No one can live alone.
C. No one can live without difficulty.
D. No one can live on an island.
( 　)43. What is the passage mainly about
A. Suggestions about making friends.
B. A show about friendship.
C. Getting to know others.
D. Advice on how to become smarter.
B
A
( 　)44. How can people show that they are friendly and polite
A. By remembering others' names.
B. By understanding other people's ideas.
C. By always smiling at others.
D. By looking at others when they are talking.
( 　)45. Why is it difficult for some people to make friends
A. Because their lives are empty and sad.
B. Because they are too old to make friends.
C. Because they are shy to make the first step.
D. Because they don't want to move out of the island.

Do you want to have a better memory Many people would say “yes”. So how can you improve your memory Let me give you some advice.
First, you'd better understand it before you remember something. You can imagine a picture of it in your mind. A big, strange or silly one will help you remember something well.
Second, it's important to exercise every day. When you exercise your body, you also exercise your brain. An active brain will help you remember things well.

Third, live a healthy life. You must have a balanced diet and have enough time to rest every day. Unless you get enough sleep every day, you will not remember things well.
Above all, be happy and relaxed. If you get too worried, your brain will slow down and your memory will become less sharp.
If you have these good habits, your memory will be improved. You will do better in your studies and in your life.八年级上册

Where do I start？ Before you begin studying English, ask yourself one question. Why do I want to study English？ Is it because you want to, or because someone else wants you to？ Studying English must be something you want to do.

Beauty sleep is a real thing. Researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive(有魅力的)to others.
A few bad nights are enough to make a person look “especially” uglier, their sleep experiments show.
The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked to get a good night sleep for two nights.
A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row.
The researchers took make up free (素颜)photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep.
Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价)them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them： How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture？
The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low. The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy looking face makes people run away. In other words, people don't want to hang around with people who might be ill.
Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious(无意识的),but we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us.
(　) 42. When did the researchers take make up free photos？
A. After two nights' good sleep.
B. After two nights' bad sleep.
C. Before the experiment.
D. After both two nights' good sleep and two nights' bad sleep.
(　) 43. The researchers asked the strangers to do the following EXCEPT 　　　.
A. telling who looked healthier
B. telling who didn't have many friends
C. telling who missed a lot of sleep
D. telling who was attractive
(　) 44. What does the underlined word“socialize”mean in Chinese？
A. 合伙 B. 玩耍
C. 交往 D. 共事
(　) 45. According to the passage, which of the following is the best title？

B. More Sleep, More Friends
C. Less Sleep, Fewer Friends
D. No Attractiveness, No Friends

We're sitting too much and it's dangerous. Most Americans spend more than seven hours sitting every day. And the more you sit, the weaker your body will be. Fortunately, there are simple changes you can make during the day—anywhere, even at the workplace—to improve your health.
· Park a few blocks away from the office each morning and walk to work.
This allows you to start off your mornings actively and be ready to take on the work. If you take the bus, get off one stop earlier to take some light exercise before 8 a.m.
· Get up and move around the office once every 60—90 minutes.
When you're busy with work, it's easy to forget the time. Set the alarm to remind you to get up and take a walk around the office. You can use this time to fill up your water bottle or go to the bathroom.
· Ask questions and discuss questions face to face.
Go to your co-worker's office to discuss questions face
to face, rather than send an e-mail every time you have a question. This gives you a good excuse to move.
· Use your lunch break to move around outside.
So many Americans today work during their lunch break. When possible, take advantage of (利用)this time to walk outside and enjoy the nice weather. Fresh air can make you keep a clear mind.
( 　)26. Every morning, we can park a few blocks away from the office to ________.
A. take some light exercise
B. find a good place to park
C. save some money
D. take a walk in the park
( 　)27. What can we do when we get up to walk around the office
A. To play games with our co-workers.
B. To fill up the water bottle.
C. To enjoy the nice weather.
D. To walk to work.
A
B
( 　)28. Which sentence is TRUE according to the passage
A. We should discuss questions face to face during the lunch break.
B. We should send an e-mail every time we have a question.
C. Few Americans spend more than seven hours sitting every day.
D. We should move our bodies every 60—90 minutes during the work.
D
( 　)29. The passage mainly tells us ________ during the workday.

Job interviews can be very different from country to country. An interviewer's “body language” and questions, and the form of an interview are not the same around the world.
If you're at a job interview in Japan, don't look directly into the eyes of the interviewer. It is considered impolite. But if you're at an interview in the US, you should make eye contact(交流)with the interviewer. If you don't, the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability.
In the US and some other countries, interviewers aren't supposed to ask questions about family and
personal information. In most countries, however, personal questions are very common during job interviews.
In Germany, your interview might begin with a very short conversation followed by a formal (正式的)interview. In Mexico and many other countries, the whole interview might not be formal.
( 　) 30. In Japan, looking directly into the eyes of the interviewer is ________.
A. boring B. impolite

We recycle rubbish, so why not language Recycling language means using vocabulary that you have learnt before again and again. However, unlike rubbish that piles up (堆积) in our environment, if we do not recycle language, we simply forget it. So how can we recycle language
There are basically three ways to do it. The first is through reading. Go back to your favourite articles and read them once more. Just reread them and do not worry about each vocabulary item. If there are some that you are not sure about, make a guess and you will probably
guess right. The second way to recycle is through writing. Look at some of your favourite articles and write either a short paragraph or a few sentences in your own words. After you have done this a few times, go back and read through what you have written, checking vocabulary functions. Don't worry if you have made mistakes. That's how you learn. The third way to recycle language is by having an imaginary chat with yourself about your favourite articles at home. You can pretend there is someone with you who speaks English and tell him what you are thinking about or how you feel.
( 　)42. According to the passage, recycling language means ________.
A. repeating vocabulary at times
B. revising vocabulary at a proper time
C. learning new vocabulary as much as possible
D. using vocabulary that we have learnt very often
( 　)43. If we recycle language, it may ________.
A. be kept in our mind
B. be forgotten easily
C. pile up in our environment
D. disappear from our mind soon
D
A
( 　)44. The second way to recycle language tells us to ________.
A. rewrite our favourite articles
B. pay more attention to mistakes
C. practise spoken English with someone
D. pay no attention to vocabulary functions
( 　)45. Which of the following is probably the best title for this passage
A. Why to recycle language B. How to learn vocabulary
C. How to recycle language D. Why to learn vocabulary

Lions are opportunists. They prefer to eat without having to do too much work. When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the kill for themselves. A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.
The lionesses (母狮), being thinner and faster, are better hunters (猎手) than the males (雄狮). But the males don't mind. After the kill they move in and take the best share.
Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak. We have seen many, many daylight attempts but only ten kills. Roughly, it's about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.
When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole, they wait patiently and can charge at any second. The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion, since these great animals spend most of their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.
Lions are social cats, and when they are having a rest, they love to touch each other. After drinking at a water hole, a lioness rests her head on another's back. When walking, young lions often touch faces with older ones, an act of close ties among members of the group.

Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake places of the world—Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey, rats will soon be man's new best friends.
What happens after an earthquake We send dogs in rescue(救援). Why Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a
signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity.
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat would get into spaces where we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).
( 　)38. In the earthquake places, rats will become man's best friends because they can ________.
A. take the place of man in rescue jobs
B. send signals for the coming earthquake
C. serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
D. find the positions of people alive who are trapped in buildings
D
( 　)39. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A. treating wounded people
B. helping rescuers
C. smelling people among different smells
D. carrying the wounded people to safety
( 　)40. In doing rescue jobs, ________.
A. rats have better sense of smell than dogs
B. dogs don't need to be trained to smell people
C. robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells around
D. rats can see in the dark and are smaller than robots
C
C
( 　)41. After reading the passage we can know ________.
A. now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescue
B. the “rat project” has been completed
C. people are now happy to see a rat in a building
D. rats have taken the place of dogs in search for people
