Two frogs had lived in a village all their lives. They thought they would like to go and see the big city that was about ten miles away.
They talked about it for a long time, and at last they set off to see the big city.
It was a hot day, and they soon began to feel tired. They had only gone a little way when one said to the other, “We must be nearly there. Can you see the city?”
“No,” said the other frog, “but if I climb on your back I might be able to see it.”
So he climbed up on the back of the other frog to see the city.
Now when the frog put up his head, his eyes could only see what was behind, and not what was in front. So he saw the village they had just left.
“Can you see the city?” asked the frog who was below.
“Yes,” answered the frog who had climbed up. “I can see it. It looks just like our village.”
Then the frogs thought that it was not worthwhile going any farther. They went back and told the frogs around the village that they had seen the city, and it was just like theirs.The two frogs went to see the big city ___________.

Some people like to get up early, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day. Maybe those who don't like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true. Scientists made a survey （调查）in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising(早起) people had less disease(疾病) than late rising people, and early rising people also look healthier than late rising people, and so on.
So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need fresh(新鲜的) air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it is useful to do morning exercises.
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.
Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.
Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.
Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit(养成习惯) of early rising. They have to make an effort(努力) to do so. As the English proverb says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy(富裕的) and wise.”Early rising people are than late rising people.
| A．fatter | B．thinner |
| C．healthier | D．Cleverer |
Air is the freshest according to the passage.
| A．in the morning | B．in the afternoon |
| C．in the evening | D．all the day |
Which of the following is the result of early rising?
| A．People can get ready for their work. |
| B．People can get fresh air. |
| C．People can learn things more quickly and better. |
| D．All of the above. |
If a man always likes to get up late, it's for him to form the habit of getting up early.
| A．easy | B．difficult |
| C．happy | D．sad |
As the English proverb says, can make us healthy, wealthy and wise.
| A．getting up early | B．going to bed early |
| C．getting up late | D．both A and B |
I think lots of students like the pop singer named Jay. I also like him very much.
Do you know as a boy, Jay was called Dull Stupid. But his mother noticed that the quiet, shy boy seemed to dance well when he heard the Western pop music. His mother sent him to a piano school when he was four. When he grows up, he has an ability for playing the piano beyond(超过) his years. I learned to play the piano from 7 years old to 13 years old. I often feel bored when I practice playing the piano. But Jay was always crazy about playing the piano. I think he really likes music. He is my hero..
I admire（钦佩） Jay. The real reason is when the others all denied（否定） him, he never gave up. He tried his best to change his life. I think it is good for everybody. I hope that everyone can learn from him—try our best to do everything. Then I think we will be the winners.What’s Jay?
