Andy never wanted to go to bed on time. His parents had explained to him how important it was to go to bed early and get a good rest. But Andy paid no attention to them, and they didn't know what to do until one weekend when they were visiting Andy's grandparents.
Grandpa Peter heard all about it and said, "This sounds like a job for Tubby." So Andy's parents loaded the cat onto the car and returned home.
That night, at bedtime, the same problem happened. Andy didn't want to go to bed, and even though his parents waited a while to see if Tubby would solve the problem, nothing happened.
Hours later, Andy finally decided to go to bed. But what a surprise when he entered his bedroom! Tubby was in his bed, totally sprawling out, pot-belly in the air, and snoring like an express train.
Andy tried to move the cat, but there was no way of moving him an inch. That night he hardly slept, lying on one tiny corner of his bed.
The next day the same thing happened, even though Andy was much more tired from not having slept well. When the third day arrived, he had understood that if he wanted to sleep in his bed, he would have to get into it before Tubby did. That night, when his parents only started to mention the topic of bedtime, Andy rushed upstairs and dived into bed. His parents could not believe it. They knew nothing about Tubby in the bed, nor did they understand why Andy went to bed on time without complaint. They were so happy about this that they stayed up quite late, celebrating.
(1)By saying "This sounds like a job for Tubby", Grandpa means Tubby________.
A.has the same problem as Andy
B.often stays up late on weekend
C.can help solve Andy's problem
D.always likes playing with small boys
(2)The underlined word "snoring" in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.
A.sleeping
B.making noises
C.dreaming
D.relaxing
(3)Andy rushed upstairs for sleep because ________.
A.he was afraid Tubby would take up the bed
B.his parents reminded him of the bed time
C.he was much more tired from lacking sleep
D.his parents might punish him for staying up late
(4)The parents' attitude towards Andy's change can be described as ______.
A.curious
B.disappointed
C.worried
D.Joyful

【题目】Maps of the world’s population show that the majority of people today live near water. 1We also vacation at the beach and find comfort fishing on a lake. Nothing makes small children happier than the chance of playing in water. More interesting, this human favor for water makes evolutionary sense. 2

Neuroscientist(神经系统科学家) Michael Crawford of the University of North London has proposed that our ancient ancestors attached to the sea, and that their devotion paid off by allowing the human species to develop large and complex brains. Crawford claims that when humans separated from apes and appeared in the forests of Africa, they stuck close to rivers and beaches and started catching fish and crabs.3

It's no coincidence, Crawford claims, that human brain growth began to increase rapidly once we left the woods and headed for the beach.

4Psychiatrist(精神病学家)and biochemist Joseph Hibbelin of National Institutes of Health has shown that across cultures there is direct link between amount of fish eaten each week and rates of depression. More interesting, Hibbelin and researcher Laura Reis have found that fish is commonly used as a symbol of happiness and good health in various religions and cultures.

5We vacation on the coast and see the waves come and go, feeling happiness has taken over our brain. When we move inland, or go home from vacation, we lose touch with our sea roots and feel unhappy.

A. Sure, we need drinking water to live, but we have also benefited from what’s swimming under waves.

B. We know that fish and the sea are good for us, and we seek them out.

C. We live along coastlines, around bays, up the course of rivers and streams and on islands.

D. Scientists help people overcome depression.

E. Scientists have also discovered that people who eat fish regularly are less likely to suffer from depression than those who eat less seafood.

F. It is good for our health to swim under the waves.

G. That sea food was packed with omega-3 fatty acids, essential fatty acids that promote brain cell growth.

Our room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet and peaceful, and fairly deserted.
The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting closer to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We didn't have any cell phones on us. I never saw Dad as worried as he was then and knew that something was terribly wrong. The sense of fear started to overwhelm Mom and me. We had had such a good time in town. Now, the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation.
We could hear the man's footsteps getting closer. Dad's face was almost pale. The so-called intruder (侵入者) had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden, the nearby vending (自动贩卖) machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight. My parents were shaking, but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all.Not a soul.

With five breakout(破纪录的) games, Jeremy Lin has become the NBA's newest star.
In the New York Knicks' 92-85 won over the Los Angles Lakers last Saturday, Lin had a career-high 38 points. A day later, he led the Knicks to their fifth victory, 100-98 to Minnesota Timberwolves. In his previous games, Lin, 23, had 23 points against the Washington, 25 points against New Jersey and 28 against Utah in his first start.
Lin is smart. Before graduating from high school in California, he had sent his application to all the Ivy League Schools(常青藤联盟). He only got into Harvard and Brown, and he chose Harvard. In 2010, Lin graduated with a degree in economics.
Lin is the first Chinese-American player in the NBA. He was born in the US and his family is Asian. Although not born in China, Lin has attracted nearly all Yao Ming's old fans, who see him as a powerful role model.
He started off on the Golden State Warriors. Lin first signed with the Warriors in July, 2010, but seldom played in games before the start of the fourth quarter. His first time on the court for the Warriors earned him seven points, three rebounds(篮板球) and two assists in just 11 minutes.
He is really perfect for the Knicks. The New York Knicks has been in need of a reliable point guard and to Mike D'Antoni, the Knicks coach who's going through a difficult season, Lin is a most unexpected figure. Lin just does everything easy and the rest of the guys around him are playing the way we want to," D'Antoni said. "I think it's for real, and it can only get better."
(1)In which team did Lin start his career in NBA?
A.the New York Knicks

D.The Los Angles Lakers
(2)From the passage, we learn that.
