At one time Einstein travelled all over the United States giving lectures. He travelled by car and soon became quite friendly with the driver.
The driver always listened to Einstein’s lecture, which the great scientist gave again and again. One day he told Einstein that he knew the lecture so well that he was sure he could give it himself. Einstein smiled and said, “Why don’t you give the lecture for me next time?” The driver agreed.
That evening both of them went along to the lecture hall. Nobody there knew Einstein. As the driver took his place on the stage everybody clapped. Then he started the lecture. Sure enough he didn’t make a single mistakes. It was a greet success, and when it was over, people clapped and clapped. Then he started to leave, shaking hands with everybody, while Einstein followed quietly a few steps behind.
Just before he got to the door, a man stopped them and asked the driver a very difficult question. The driver listened carefully. Of course, he did not understand a thing, but he nodded as if he did. When the man stopped talking, the driver said that he thought the question was very interesting, but really simple. In fact ,in order to show how simple it was, he would ask his driver to answer it!

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 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.

Which of the following is the result of early rising?
| A．People can get ready for their work. |
| B．People can get fresh air. |

Going to a friend's house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.
When to arrive
The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come "about 3:00", that means you can arrive before 3:05. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.
What to bring
Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend's house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
How to greet
When you visit your friend's house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr. or Mrs. Smith.
