waited.
Soon an old man came along with his cow.“Who put this stone in the center
of the road?" said the old man,but he did not try to move the stone away. Instead,
he passed around the stone and continued on his way. Another man came along and did
the same thing; then another came,and another. All of them complained about the
stone in the center of the road,but none of them tried to move it away.
Late in the afternoon, a young man came along. He saw the stone and said, “It
will be very dark at night. Some people will come along later in the dark and will
fall against the stone.”
The young man then began to move the stone. He pulled with all his strength

A high school in England has found a new solution to allow students to sle ep
longer in the morning. The $25, 000-a-year Hampton Court House School is starting
a 1:30 to 7 :00 pm timetable in September. It will become the only school in Britain
that starts lessons in the afternoon. Head teacher Guy Holloway said the changed
hours should help students get higher grades. He said research on human brains shows
students can do better if they can sleep longer in the morning. Mr. Holloway said:
"We want to get students into an environment where they can get quality sleep and
their bodies are working well in correct ways." He added: “It's about what works
in our neighborhood.”
The aftermoon start is supported by research by Oxford University. Researcher
Dr. Paul Kelley said:“You can’t train yourselves to get up at a practical time.”He
said we are not in control of choosing the best time to work because it's
biological(生物钟)—our nature, just like we have no control over our heartbeat or
how our ears do their work. Dr. Kelley added:“Anything you do to change the timing
of your body means different parts of your body will not be able to work together
at the same time to keep you going and this is where people get ill…. It is no fixing
it by giving someone an alarm clock.”A student at the school,Gabriel Purcell-Davis,
15,is in support of the idea. He said students are tired all day now,“…as soon
as 10 o'clock hits,that's when we ...do all our work”.
46. In what way will the school be different from other schools in Britain?
A. It will have more students than any other school.
B. It will ask for more money from the students.
C. It will begin a school day in the afternoon.
D. It will have fewer lessons in September.
47. The school takes this new move to______.
A. let the students sleep longer in the morning
B. encourage the students to have lessons at home
C. help parents spend more time with their children
D. give the students more chance to work after school
48. Mr. Holloway believes that the students can do better by_______.
A. spending less time at school
C. having a good rest in the morning
B. working together with parents
D. going ho me earlier in the afternoon
49. Dr. Kelley is trying to tell us that_____.
A. we’d better follow our nature to decide when to work
B. people can get ill by getting up early in the morning
C. mornings are the worst time for students to have lessons
D. the alarm clock is a good invention to keep students at work
50. In the end,Cabriel Purcell-Davis is mentioned to show that______.
A. this new plan is welcomed by the students
B. most students don't like the new timetable
C. students can get higher grades by getting up late
D. students are tired of going to school in the afternoon
D
Almost two-thirds of children want their parents to spend more time reading to
them before bed. Most of theses kids like Mum's storytelling more than Dad's,
researchers said.
They carried out a study that showed younger children aged 3-4 were most
hungry for more stories. Over three-quarters of them said they wished their parents
to read to them more often.
More than half of all children aged 3-8 said story time was their favorite
pastime with their parents.
“The results of our research reveal the traditional activity of
storytelling continues to be a powerful learning and emotional resource(资源)in
children's lives,”said child psychologist Richard Woolfson.
Storytelling ranked before television or video games among pastimes for kids.
82 percent of them said reading a story with their parents helped them sleep better.
This finding came from a survey of 500 children aged 3-4 in Britain. Accord ing to
the research, there are two ways for mothers to become best storytellers. They can
use funny voices to show different characters in a story. They can also make their
own special sounds to keep the story interesting and attractive. When mum and dad
are not at hand, celebrities will do: over 30 percent of children said they would
like to hear a bedtime story from famous people like Harry Potter star Daniel
Radcliffe. Other movie stars like Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson also
welcomed by children.
“It can be very difficult for parents to find the time to read with their
children. But these moments can help build close relationship between parents and
children, and also can play an important part in their child's development," said
Woolfson.
51. What do the children want most according to the study?
A. Stories from Daniel Radcliffe.
C. Stories from Mum.
B. Stories from Dad.
D. Stories from Zac Efron.
52. The study shows that as children get older, they_____.
A. depend more on stories from parents
B. become less thirsty for bedtime stories
C. show more interest in playing outdoors
D. become better storytellers to other children
53. If a mother wants to be a better storyteller, she'd better______.
A. use different sounds to make the story sound more real
B. invite other family members to read stories together
C. ask children to play different roles in the stories
D. make a lot of noises to keep the children awake
54. The word" celebrities" in the 5th paragraph refers to(指)persons_____.
A. who love children very much
C. who write stories for children
B. who are known about by many people
D. who can tell stories very well
55. With the last paragraph,the passage wants to tell us that ____.
A. few parents can afford the time to tell stories
B. with love Dads can also become good storytellers
C. it really pays to spend time reading with our children
D. it doesn't take much time to enjoy stories with our children

Rosalia Mera,the world’s richest self-made woman has died at the age of
69 in August,2013. She started as a poor Spanish seamstress(a woman clothes maker),
and later founded the well-known fashion retailer(零售商)Zara. Mera was the richest
woman in Spain with a worth of S 6,100,000,000. Mera was seriously ill while on
holiday and died in a hospital in the town where she was born,La Coruna in northern
Spain.
Having left school at 11 years old,Mera worked as a seamstress as a teenager
before setting up a company, which would grow into one of the biggest clothes
retailers in the world. Today the brand (品牌) name sits above 1,763 Zara stores
around the world.
The Zara model grew up from the idea that first sent Mera into business:
producing speedy and cheap imitations(仿制品). Mera was one of the first players
in the field of so-called “fast fashion”. Though she was extremely rich, Mera
stayed close to home and was often seen talking with friends and neighbors in
Galicia's bars.
