“Early to bed and early to rise make a man healthy wealthy and wise.” This is an old English saying. It means that when we go to bed early, we can get up early in the next morning. Then we will become healthy. We will also become rich and clever.
This is true. To keep healthy, we must have enough sleep. Experts(专家)say that adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep a night. Teenagers need nine to ten hours. And school-aged children may need more than ten hours of sleep. Children who do not have enough sleep can’t do their work very well. They won’t be wise and they may not become wealthy!
We also need exercise. Walking, running, jumping, swimming and playing games are all exercise. Exercise keeps us strong. It also helps the blood(血液)to move around the body. This is very important. Our blood takes the nutrition(营养) from food to all parts of our body. The head also needs blood. So exercise that moves the blood to our head helps us think better!
19. If we get up early and go to bed early, we’ll _________.
A. become weak B. be healthy
C. have more time D. have more work to do
20. A child _________ when he does not have enough sleep.
A. can’t study well B. will be wise
C. will be wealthy D. will be active in class
21. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Exercise helps the blood to move.
B Exercise is good for a person’s head.
C. If we have enough blood, we’ll be wise.
D. It’s good for us to get up early and go to bed early.

“You must prove you’re the best,” the manager said.
“OK. I will!” Harry answered.
“Good!” The manager took a box of sweets out of his desk. “Last week I bought a thousand boxes of sweets. If you can sell them all before the end of the week. You can have the job,” said the manager.
“That’s easy.” Harry said. He took the boxes of sweets and left the office.
Every day and all day he went from shop to shop trying to sell the boxes of sweets. He couldn’t sell one. The sweets were too bad for him to sell. At the end of the week he went back to the manager. “I’m sorry, sir.” He said. “I was wrong about myself. I’m not the best salesman in the world. But I know who is.”
“Oh.” said the manager. “Who?” “The person who sold you a thousand boxes of these sweets.” Harry said.
22. Harry went to ask for the job because he was____________ himself at first.

Do you have a lucky number? What is it? Many people have a special number and they hope that it will bring them good luck. In China, people think that, some numbers are lucky or unlucky because those numbers sound similar to some Chinese words that mean something good or bad.
For example, the word for number 8 sounds like "making lots of money" in Chinese. So, people think it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend much more money to have 8s in their phone numbers. Do you remember the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing? It opened at 8:08 p.m. on August 8,2008.
The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors' robes and it’s told in many Chinese ancient stories that the dragon has nine children. The number of 9 also means "long lasting". In China, a man would send 99 or 999 roses to his lover with the wishes that the love between them will be long lasting.
What’s more, Chinese think that the number 2 is lucky as it’s said that “all good things come in pairs”. For example, during wedding celebrations, you usually find pairs of red candles, double pillows and many other things in pairs, and people often give gifts in pairs for someone’s birthday, wedding or other celebrations.
So what's an unlucky number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the Chinese word "death". Because of this, many buildings don’t have the fourth floor, and just call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors with the numbered 4, such as,4,14,24,34 and all 40-49 floors. So, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 36 floors actually.
26. From the article, we can learn that some people would pay much more money for .
A. the phone numbers with 8s B. the Summer Olympic Games
C. the emperors’ robes D. the wedding celebrations
27. Why would a man like to send 99 roses to his lover?
A. Because he thinks that women love roses the best.
B. Because the number 9 has a connection to the emperors of China.
C. Because he hopes that he will be in love with the woman for a long time.
D. Because he wishes that he will have lots of children with the woman in the future.
28. In Hong Kong, you may NOT find the floor in some buildings.
A. 50th B. 46th C. 35th D. 17th
29. What can we learn from the article?
A. The shape of a word makes Chinese think that a word is lucky or unlucky.
B. The Beijing Olympic Games opened at 8:00 p.m. on August 8, 2008.
C. Chinese prefer to decorate weddings with things in pairs.
D. Roses mean long lasting in Chinese.
30. What is the article about?
A. Numbers and ancient stories in China.
B. Lucky and unlucky numbers in Chinese culture.
C. Ways to find your lucky and unlucky numbers
D. Different meanings of numbers in different countries.
B）阅读一篇短文，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白出的最佳选项，每个选项只能用一次。
E
