My favourite book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain． Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St． Petersburg, Missouri． He’s a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures(探险)． He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days．

My favourite scene(场景) in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead． He decides to go to his own funeral(葬礼)． He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly appears(出现)． Everyone is surprised to see him, but they are also pleased to see him alive．

Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters． Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him． Becky is pretty with fair hair． Joe is Tom’s best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man in the story．

The theme of the story is about children’s growing up． It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America． Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour(行为)．

Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today． Although it’s only a story, Mark Twain wrote it in the everyday English in the 19th century, so it sounds very real． Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature(文学)． Go to read it! I know you’ll enjoy it．

29． Where does Tom run away with his two friends?

A． To a quiet street．                                                B． To a small town．

C． To an island．                                                     D． To a forest．

30． How do people feel when Tom appears at his own funeral?

A． Surprised and pleased．                                       B． Afraid and sad．

C． Amazed and unhappy．                                        D． Angry and worried．

31． The writer writes the article to ________．

A ask us to read the book

B． show us how popular the book is

C． tell us why the story sounds very real

D tell us when Mark Twain wrote the story

C

Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work． We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train． However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine． We can’t look at a clock, for the right time for these activities． We must listen to the clock inside our bodies: the biological clock．

Barbara Wells exercised every morning． She woke up at 6:00 a． m． She ran about two miles before she went to work． But Barbara’s legs and back started to hurt． She did some exercise before she ran． But her legs and back still hurt． She ran slower, but the pain didn’t stop． Barbara talked to her doctor． The doctor said, “Don’t run in the morning． Try to exercise later in the day． That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercise． Your heart and lungs are very strong in the afternoon, too．” Now Barbara exercised after work． Her legs and back don’t hurt any more．

Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology, the study of biological clocks． They are learning about the importance of time for your bodies． For example, it is best for people to go to sleep at the same time every night and to eat only when they are hungry． Also, doctors found that some illness, such as heart attacks, happen most often in the morning． This information tells them that the best time to take heart medicine may be at night． When patients take heart medicine at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning．

Many doctors believe chronobiology can help us live healthier lives． It may be the right time to listen to these doctors．

32． Why did Barbara go to her doctor?

A． She had some pain．                                            B． She couldn’t sleep well．

C． She couldn’t run fast．                                         D． Her doctor told her so．

33． When does Barbara exercise now?

A． Early in the morning．                                        B． Before work．

C． Later in the day．                                                D． In the night．

34． What does the underlined word “chronobiology” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A． The study of time．                                             B． The study of sleeping habits．

C． The study of medicine．                                       D． The study of biological clocks．

35． Which of the following can be the best title for the article?

A． Daily exercise                                                      B． The right time

C． The alarm clock                                                   D． Doctor’s advice

Starling a book club is easy—all you need is to love reading． Here’s how．

When you set up your book club, the first thing is to get members for your club． They could be friends, family, or those you know through different activities, but they should all love to read． A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club． Too many make discussions difficult．

Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet—usually clubs meet monthly． Pick a date and slick with it so that members can easily plan for it． Then, you need to decide on the meeting time length（长度）． An hour is a good start． Two hours usually does the trick．

Then, you need a good place． Libraries, parks and restaurants—all make good meeting places． For many clubs, homes are the best place as you don’t have to get dressed up, and noisy public places can make talking hard．

Please don’t forget the most important thing—the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy． Fiction? Non-fiction? Your club can choose books in different ways． You can take turns to recommend books． Let everyone vote upon what book to read． Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun．

After all this has been decided, your book club is ready． Now, it’s time to hold the first meeting． Enjoy your reading．
