It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others.
The man who is too lazy to work is the man who’s generally most ready to beg or steal. Every boy should learn some useful work when he is young.
But it is not enough that a boy should learn some kind of work. He should put his effect completely into his work, and not waste his free time. “Working while you work and playing while you play is as good rule for young people as for the old.”
There is no better help to diligence (勤奮) than the habit of early rising, and this, just like all other good habits, is most easily formed in youth. There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.” This means that everybody must be diligent and make good use of his time. One must study hard when one is young so that one can make great progress, succeed in life and become useful to one’s country. Therefore, we can say that diligence is the mother of success.
小題1:After reading the passage we know that those who are too lazy to work will become________.
A．beggarsB．thievesC．beggars or thievesD．useful men
小題2:In order to learn to be diligent, it’s most important for the young people to _________.
A．form the habit of getting up late
B．learn some good subjects
C．work all the time without play
D．work while they work and play while they play
小題3:One can’t be successful in life unless he ________ when he is young.
A．spends some time learning something
B．is diligent in his study
C．makes up for his lost time
D．loves his school
小題4:Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?
A．Lazy Boy Can Learn to Be Diligent.
B．Young People Should.
C．Lost Time Never Returns.
D．Diligence, the Mother of Success.

小題1:C
小題2:D
小題3:B
小題4:D

試題分析： 本文講述的是做為年輕人應該努力去工作，對將來的進步與成功都是大有好處的，勤奮是現(xiàn)代社會對年輕人的要求準則。
小題1:細節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)第二段提到The man who is too lazy to work is the man who’s generally most ready to beg or steal.一個男人如果太懶也不想工作， 他可能會去偷或者乞討，所以選C項乞丐或賊。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段提到Working while you work and playing while you play is as good rule for young people as for the old.對于年輕人來說，該工作時工作，該玩時玩，這對于年輕人是一條準則，所以選D項。
小題3:細節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)最后一段提到There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.” This means that everybody must be diligent and make good use of his time. One must study hard when one is young so that one can make great progress, succeed in life and become useful to one’s country.有名諺語提到失去的時間不會回來，這就意味著，每人必須勤奮，利用時間，當年輕時努力學習為的是將來取得進步，取得人生中的成功，所以選B項。
小題4:主旨大意。本文開頭提到It is the duty of every man to work，工作是每個人的責任，懶惰的人對社會對他人是沒有用的，當一個人年輕時必須勤奮，努力學習，將來才能取得成功，所以選D，勤奮是成功之母，符合題意。

Do you think of white when someone talks about a polar bear? In fact, the polar bear does not have white fur. It just appears to be white. Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. It helps them to find food. During summer, polar bears sleep longer, because they are able to find their food more easily at night. Usually, after a meal, polar bears have a short sleep.

There are many wetlands in China and some of them are the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, the east of China. They are homes for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-Crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood.
