13、Have you ever heard of the proverb(格言) “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise?” It was written by Benjamin Franklin. Another famous proverb is “ A penny saved is a penny earned”, which means money should not be wasted. People like to use proverbs because they usually have deep meanings. Here is an interesting collection of proverbs about love.
Some people say “Absence makes the heart grow fonder(多情的)”. That means you love someone even more when he or she is far away.
Another proverb says “love is blind”. In other words, when you are in love with someone, you may refuse to see anything bad about the person.
Here is another popular saying about love: “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Some people believe that a woman can win a man’s love if she cooks his favorite foods. Some people only want to love someone who is very good-looking. You might tell them that “Beauty is only skin deep.” What a person looks like is not really important.
All in all, those proverbs are quite interesting sometimes. If you try to memorize some of them in your English study, you may find a lot of fun when talking in English. So, please have a try. “Action speaks louder than words.”
1．“A penny saved is a penny earned” means you should ________.
A．make more money B．find a job C．save money D．work harder
2．The proverb “_________” is almost the same as the one “Never judge(判断)a person by his look”？

C．Beauty is only skin deep D．The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach

14、While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a beach near a playground. “That’s my son over there,” she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding(滑行) down the slide. “He’s a fine-looking boy,” the man said. “That’s my son on the swing(秋千) in the blue sweater.” Then, looking at his watch, he called to his son,” What do you say if we go, Todd?” Todd pleaded(恳求), “Just five more minutes, Dad. please? Just five more minutes.” The man nodded and Todd continued to swing to his heart’s contently(尽兴地).
Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his son. “Time to go now?” Again Todd pleaded, “Five more minutes, Dad. Just five more minutes.” The man smiled and said, “Okay.” “Oh, you are certainly a patient father,” the woman said. The man smiled and then said ,”My older son Tommy was killed by a drunken driver last year while he was riding his bike near here. I never spent much time with Tommy and now I’d give anything for just five more minutes with him. I’ve vowed(发誓) not to make the same mistake with Todd.” “He thinks he has five more minutes to swing.

15、Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.
We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true but it's a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.

When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知),which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.
Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That's how we live an exciting life.
1．From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone who
A．is like themselves B．has a sense of humor
C．is open-minded D．lives an exciting life
2．People like staying in their comfort zone because they may
A．remain comfortable and special B．be accepted easily and feel safe
C．find out more interesting things D．discover differences among themselves
3．The underlined word “barriers” in Paragraph 4 means .
A．doors B．difficulties C．ideas D．rules
4．Why does the writer ask us to meet people of different kinds?
A．Because we feel safer and share similar tastes and ideas.
B．Because we can enjoy an interesting and different ideas.
C．Because we can say hello and ask them questions.
D．Because we want to live in a society full of humour.
5．What is the title of this passage?
A．Just to be ourselves B．Learn more about the foreign countries
C．Live an exciting life D．Jump out of the comfort zone

18、Learning to love reading
Taking public transportation in the United States, you can often see people reading books on their way to school or work. But in China, I rarely (很少地) see people reading during their free time.
Are people’s attitudes toward reading different here? Not really. Data (数据) released by Amazon China in December 2017 show that Chinese people still read a lot. They simply prefer e-books over regular books.
However, other data show that reading is still more popular in the us than in China. Is there a reason for this difference? I’m not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature (文学). From classic novels like Romance of the Three Kingdoms (《三国演义》) to the modern science-fiction books The Three-Body Problem (《三体》), and many other styles, Chinese authors have created many fantastic written works.
Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not feel like reading for fun. Chinese students definitely (肯定) have to read more and
