Are You an Owl or a Lark?

  Do you start the day very slowly, and really wake up in the afternoon? Then you may be an owl (貓頭鷹) . Are you full of pep (精力) in the morning and tired out later on? Then you may be a lark (云雀).

  Owls and larks are different kinds of birds. Scientists use these names for different kinds of people, too. Owls are people who take more time to wake up. They seem to have more pep as the day goes on. Larks are people who are wide awake and busy right away. They may slow down in the afternoon.

  The way we feel affects the kind of work we do. Larks do better work in the morning. They are more wide awake then. Owls do better work in the afternoon or at night. That can make a difference in a job or at school. Larks would probably do better on school tests first thing in the morning. Owls would do better later in the day.

  Decide how you feel at different hours of the day. Try to save your hardest work for your best hours.

1.People who are called larks ________.

[  ]

A.are wide awake early

B.sleep all morning

C.like to play music

 

2.An owl must be a bird that ________.

A.gets up early

3.You could be called a lark if you ________.

B.jump out of bed early

C.sit in a tree

 

4.A person called an owl would want to ________.

[  ]

Are you an only-child in your family? Are you feeling alone at home? How are you dealing with it?
Zhang Luwen, 12, feels lucky to have a 4-year-old “brother”. “With him, I never feel lonely at home. He goes with me wherever I go,” said the girl of Sichuan Province. But it is not easy to be a sister. Zhang has to help her parents bath her “brother” every week. This is because he is hairy — he is a dog.
As the number of pet owners in China grows more and more, Chinese students have animal friends at home. Experts say that these small animals give these only-children lessons in love, care, teamwork and generosity.
This month, the first study on the influence of pets on the children came out. It is a survey of 402 Beijing primary school students. It shows that animal friends are good for children.
China had more than 90 million only-children by 2006, according to the government. “In families of three, most children feel lonely. They don’t have many chances to learn how to love and be responsible for others,” said Zhou Xia in the study group. “So having a pet can help with the problem.”
However, some students complain that their parents don’t allow them to have pets. “They are afraid a pet would stop me studying,” said Chen Qi, of Chongqing.
Perhaps he could learn from Qin Yixing, 13, of Beijing. “I don’t play with my dog until I have finished my homework. I made the promise to my mom and I must keep it,” said the girl.
【小題1】According to the passage, experts think _______.

A.it is good for students to have animal friends at home
B.only-children families in China will be fewer and fewer
C.small animals at home are bad for students
D.parents should buy more pet animals for their children
【小題2】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Zhang Luwen’s parents bath every week.
B.Zhou Xia thinks a pet animal can solve the problem that children feel lonely.
C.Chen Qi of Chongqing has got a pet animal.
D.Qin Yixing’s parents don’t want her to have a pet.
