2、 We waited for an hour and were getting desperate. We wouldnt be able to stay overnight because it was a weekday, and we both needed to work the next day. It was almost 10 p.m. when a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car. Probably sensing that we were waiting for some mean
3、s of transport, they stopped and gave us a lift. I was so touched by their kindness, and I expressed my gratitude (感谢)to them. When we reached my hometown, the family dropped us at the nearest point from where we could catch a shared taxi to get back to the spot where we had parked our bike. On the
4、way, a laborer（工人） stopped the taxi. The driver saw his clothes and asked him whether he had money to pay the fare（车费）.

8、s EverythingBToday, we are told, children dont spend enough time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to screen on a computer or a TV-they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature. But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Servic
9、e, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live i
10、n a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park. Children often need a helping hand from mom and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids developme
11、nt, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go”. So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “natures playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space f
12、or wild time in childrens daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted”. This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe, like me, its made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. Th
13、ere is no age limit on enjoying yourself! 25. According to Andy Simpson, we know that_.

More space for children D. Wild time for childrenCFor an entire day, forget about the clock. Eat when youre hungry
15、and sleep when youre tired. What do you think will happen? You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. Youll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you dont know what time it is, your body does. These patterns of daily li
16、fe are called circadian rhythms（生理节奏）, and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our inner clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more. Everyones rhythms
17、 are different, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But on the whole, everyone is programmed to feel tired at night and energetic during the day. Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act ou
18、t of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up late can make kids do worse in tests. “There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we sleep are important parts of how healthy we are,” says
19、Steven Shea, director of the Sleep Disorders Program at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston. One way to learn about how our body clocks tick is to mess them up and see what happens. Thats what neurologist（神经病学家）Frank Scheer and his workmates did in a recent study. Staying up night after night, the
20、ir studies suggest, could make kids extra hungry and more likely to gain weight. And regularly sleeping too little, Scheer says, may be one cause of the recent increase in childhood obesity. 28.

21、time it is. B . You will feel upset. C. You will behave normally. D. You will probably get hungry more easily. 29. Mike feels energetic at 12 midnight while Tom feels sleepy. What advice would be given by the writer? A. Both should see a doctor. B. Tom should see a doctor. C. Mike should have a watc
22、h.D. Both should take it easy. 30. How do Frank Scheer and his workmates study body clocks? A. By studying people traveling across time zones.B. By asking questions and collecting answers. C. By seeing what happens when they are messed up.D. By programming people with man-made clocks. 31. What will
23、the writer most probably talk about next? A. What circadian rhythms are.B. Medicines that can keep people from putting on weight. C. Why it is important to have a normal body clock. D. Other examples of what people will do when their body clocks go wrong.DBabies love reading stories with bright and
