There’s nothing quite like falling sound asleep after a full day of work. Like people, animals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest.

Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead far into the sea while they rest. Sea otters sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep. Then a bubble (气泡) will be formed around them. The bubble protects them from harm while they sleep.

Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks (花粟鼠) sleep curled up (蜷缩) in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot, dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months.

High above the ground, monkeys find leafy places in trees each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night. Some insects even sleep under the leaf that will be their next meal. A bee may climb down into a flower to rest. When it climbs out the next morning, it is rested and ready for work.

In China, it’s common to see people on the streets using their fans to beat the heat in summer. However, the traditional Chinese fan is not just a tool for cooling down.     17    

The history of Chinese fans can date back to (追溯到) the Shang Dynasty. One of the earliest fans was known as Shanhan. It was a bit like today’s umbrella. It was tied to a carriage (马车) to keep people away from the strong sunshine and rainfall.

In fact, the fan was not used to help people cool down until the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, fans were usually made of birds’ feathers (羽毛).     18     The two kinds of fans were most popular among the common people during the Song Dynasty.

Years later, the folding fan was introduce. As this kind of fan could be easily folded and carried, it soon became popular.     19     If a famous artist painted the fan, it could be worth a lot of money. For example, a folding fan painted by a famous Chinese painter, sold for ＄252, 000. Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong were also known as great fan-painting artists.

    20     Throughout history, Chinese fans have stood the test of time. Now they are still widely popular, not only in China but also around the world.

Have you read the book Treasure Island? It     31     (write) by the famous writer Robert Louis Stevenson. It was later made into films     32     loved by the people all over the world.

Jim Hawkins is one of the main     33     (hero) in the story. He finds a treasure map. He joins Squire Trelawney and Dr. Livesey to find     34     treasure with some pirates (海盗).

This adventure tests his courage.     37     (final), Jim finds the treasure, and his search for treasure is like his search for     38     (he).

Treasure Island has greatly influenced our idea of pirates and has introduced many images (形象) into our culture: treasure maps marked with an “X”, one-legged sailors with parrots and so on. So far they     39     (become) famous all over the world.

No one knows where Treasure Island really is, but some people think it may be Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands. They think it is a lonely island     40     a lot of treasure but nobody lives on.

We all like to travel to other countries. We enjoy the scenery (风景) from our hotel rooms, look through guidebooks.

Gina Rossi decided to spend a year in the United States as an exchange student (交换生). She knew it would be difficult for her to speak English at first, and she knew she would miss her parents and friends in her hometown.

Gina lives with her parents in Giverny. “I didn’t want to go to a city before,” she said, Giverny is a rather small town, so it was perfect for her.   However, what was the first thing she noticed in America? “Everything is bigger.” she said. “The houses, the schools and the shops.”

Gina found school life very difficult at first. Without the help of her parents, she had to do most things on her own. Of course, the hardest part was that she had to do everything in English. But the teachers were excellent and the students were very friendly. “They quickly made me fell at home” she said. Did anything surprise her?   “I thought the food would be terrible,” she said. “But the local family I stayed with loved cooking, so in fact, I ate well. In summer, when the weather was hot,we had a lot of barbecues (烧烤). ”

Gina now believes that spending time living in a place one likes, instead of visiting it as a tourist, is the only way to experience its culture.
