Black Spider（蜘蛛）was having trouble catching bugs（臭虫）in his web, while Grey Spider caught two bugs in his.

“You are so lucky,” Black Spider said to Grey Spider. “You have two bugs while I have none. It’s not fair(公平的).”

“Everyone has lucky days and unlucky days. Let’s eat the bugs together,” said Grey Spider.

Black Spider decided to join Grey Spider for lunch.

“You must do some special things to get lucky, is it magic?” Grey Spider whispered.

“No, build your web!” said Black Spider. “Repair your web! Enlarge your web! Make your web wider!”

“Is that all?”

“Yes, build a new web!” said Grey Spider.

After lunch, Black Spider went back and made a new web. He built his web wider. Once he was done he slept all through the night because he was very tired.

In the morning, Black Spider was excited to see four bugs in his web. He told Grey Spider about it.

The wind tried pushing Colin to the ground. It felt as if Colin’s news-bag was full of potatoes.

Maybe it had to do with the news Dad read before Colin left. The morning headlines（标题）were full of the usual sad stories.

“No good news again!” Dad said.

Car accidents! House burns! Storm damage（损害）!

Colin moved quickly from house to house leaving papers in the mailbox. He wished he could bring only good news to his family, also to his friendly neighbours. “How could I make things better for everyone?” he wondered.

Colin noticed Alice coming. She only had one real eye. The other was made of glass. He liked Alice even if many others laughed at her. He didn’t realize how much it helped her, having a friend like Colin.

Each time Colin left a paper by a customer’s door, he thought, “How could I make some good news?”

Colin gave his usual cheerful “Hi” to everyone on his way. His smile was like the rising sun.

Someone was crying and he ran to where a little boy had fallen and hurt his leg. Colin calmed him down until the boy’s mother arrived.

“I’m glad you’re my paperboy,” she told Colin.

He continued on his way, but he didn’t feel tired. It was fun doing what he usually did—helping others.

He raced up the street to his last customer. Mrs. Williams saw Colin coming and had peanut butter cookies as a treat for her favourite paperboy. She wondered why such a lively boy always had time to chat with an old lady.

Colin’s own treat for his customers came from his heart. He did have much good news to share, even if he didn’t realize it. His smile and polite manners brought cheering-up news to all his customers.

1.What was Colin’s trouble?

A. His news-bag was too heavy.

B. He had heard of many sad stories.

C. His dad didn’t like his job as a paperboy.

D. He couldn’t bring good news to his customers.

2.Why did Mrs. Williams think Colin was her favourite boy?

A. Because he would always like to chat with her.

B. Because he liked her peanut butter cookies.

C. Because he didn’t bring bad news to her.

D. Because he always sent papers to her as fast as he could.

3.What was Colin’s treat for his customers?

A. His smile and polite manners. B. His papers full of good news.

C. His honesty and happiness. D. His confidence and friendship.

4.What’s the best title of this passage?

A. No news is good news

B. How paperboys work

C. The boring job as a paperboy

Do you and your friends ever talk about your dreams with each other? If you do, you might have noticed something interesting – some of your friends seldom remember their dreams, but some can always describe their dreams so clearly that it seems like they’re describing things that really happened to them. What makes those people different?

The answer is simple. There are two different types of dreamers – low dream recallers（回忆者）and high dream recallers.

Low dream recallers usually remember their dreams only twice a month. But high dream recallers are able to remember them about five mornings a week. And a new study suggests that activity in a certain part of the brain could have something to do with it, reported The Huffington Post.

Perrine Ruby, a French researcher at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, studied 41 people (21 high dream recallers and 20 low dream recallers) and recorded their brain activity.

She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction (颞顶联合区) was more active in high dream recallers than in low dream recallers – both when they were sleeping and awake.

This brain area collects and processes（编程）information from the outside world. This means that high dream recallers know more about what’s happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond (对……有反应) more strongly to hearing their own names, and when they are sleeping, they are woken more easily by sounds and movements.

By closely studying people’s brain activities, Ruby found that high dream recallers have twice as much “wakefulness time” during sleep as low dream recallers do. And it is during these short times of wakefulness that the brain remembers dreams.

“The sleeping brain is not able to remember new information,” Ruby told The Washington Post. “It needs to wake up to be able to do that.”

This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experiences. If you are worried during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well, you will remember little in the morning, and this is because “you never get a chance to remember”, Robert Stickgold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.

1.According to the article, high dream recallers ______.

A. have very little brain activity during sleep

B. can remember their dreams clearly

C. don’t know how to describe their dreams

D. remember their dreams twice a week

2.Compared to high dream recallers, low dream recallers ______.

A. have higher sleep quality

B. have more sleepless nights

C. are more easily woken at night

D. respond faster when hearing their names

3.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?

A. To show the advantages of being a low dream recaller.

B. To suggest what to do to become a low dream recaller.

C. To make readers interested in future studies.

D. To further explain Ruby’s research.
