Most people think sleepwalkers （梦游者） walking around at night． But in fact， not all sleepwalkers walk． Some only sit up or get out of bed or act like how they often do during the day when they are sleeping! But most sleep walkers do get up and go around for a few seconds or half an hour．
Sleepwalkers' eyes are open， but they don't see the same way as they do during the day，and they often think they are in different rooms of the house or different places． Sleepwalkers usually go back to bed themselves and they don't remember it in the morning．
Scientists say that sleepwalking may sometimes happen when a person is sick， has a fever， is not getting enough sleep， or he has much stress．
There's no medicine for sleepwalking， but here are some ideas from doctors to help sleepwalkers：
•Relax at bedtime by listening to quiet music．
•Go to bed at the same time every day．
•Keep everything quiet when you are trying to sleep．
•Don't drink a lot in the evening and be sure you go to the washroom before going to bed．

Do you see many signs around you? Do you know the signs are an important part of our daily life? They can be in pictures or in words to give people information. What do people think are good signs? If you are thinking about making signs for others, what should you know?
The most important thing is that signs should be simple and easy to understand. It is important to use clear language. On the other hand, the words should be easy to write and you just need to write down what you want to do. “Keep off the grass” is a very good example. It means “Don’t touch or walk on the grass”.
Nowadays, there is a saying that “A picture paints a thousand words”. Perhaps that’s why we are seeing more and more signs in pictures, or a combination of pictures and words. However, that’s the difficult part, because picture signs may have different meanings in different countries. First, a good sign should be ____.
| A．clear | B．beautiful | C．funny | D．interesting |
The writer uses “A picture paints a thousand words” to show that ____.
| A．a word sign is as easy as a picture sign to make |
| B．a picture sign often has more information than a word sign |
| C．a word sign has more information than a picture sign |
| D．a word sign and a picture sign have the same information |
What does the underlined word “combination” mean?
| A．分开 | B．结合 | C．并列 | D．平行 |
What’s the best title of the passage?
| A．Word Signs | B．Picture Signs |
| C．The History of Signs | D．Signs Are Important |
We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁移) is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently (近来), scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _______.
| A．give birth | B．find food more easily |
| C．enjoy warmer weather | D．find beautiful places |
The mice in northern Europe move when _______.
| A．they give birth |
| B．they haven’t enough food |
| C．the weather is bad |
| D．the place gets too crowded |
What is the main idea of the passage?
| A．Animals move to find food more easily. |
| B．The migration of the fish called “salmon” is the most famous migration. |
| C．Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we don’t. |
| D．Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel. |

It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with other people. It’s easier to make friends when you have the same interests.
Don’t be afraid to show people what you are really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.
Look at people in the eyes when you talk to them. That way, they will find it easier to talk to you. If don’t, people may think you are not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.
Listen carefully. Let people talk about themselves before talking about ‘me, me, me’. Ask lots of questions. Show interest in their answers.
Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like — not just with those who are easy to meet. Be friendly to a lot of people. If so, more people will choose to make friends with you.

Weather can influence (影响) people’s intelligence(智力). A report in 1983 showed that IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. That wind could help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. A recent report shows that students in many schools of the US often get low marks in exams in the hot months of the year( July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They might feel unhappy during cold days. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18°C.
