13、There was once a cave (岩洞) near a town. It was called “Cave of Fear”. Anyone who tried to enter it didn't return. People in the town said that there was a monster in the cave. In order to stop the monster from getting out of the cave, people often left gifts and food at the mouth of the cave, and these things always disappeared soon.
One day, a young man came to the town. When he heard about the cave, he decided to enter the cave and found out whether there was a monster in it. As he went deep into the cave, he heard some strange sounds. So he followed the sounds. Suddenly, he felt that something was pushing his back. He was too scared to turn around to look at it. Finally, he was pushed into a huge cavern (洞穴). As he entered the cavern, he got very surprised. He found that he was right in the middle of a big party. There were a lot of people in the party. They were all those people who had never returned to the town.
Then those people told him that this was the idea of an old wise man in the town. The old wise man wanted to show people that if someone wanted to make a change, he should be brave and wanted to have a try. So the wise man made up the story of the monster.

14、In the 1920s, the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants (服务生) to look after the passengers. Young men, or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ bags but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930, a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.
Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer. She wanted a more adventurous (冒险的) life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital and at the same time took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.
Ellen was 25 years old when she first got in touch with BAT (Boeing Air Transport). She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Though women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot. But she had another idea. Most people were afraid of flying because flying was still not a very safe way to travel. There were often delays (延误), many crashes and the bad weather made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and BAT agreed.
The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.
At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was a hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and was paid $1 an hour.
In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.
1．From the first paragraph, we know that ______________.
A．the word “stewardesses” was started from Ellen Church
B．Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a plane
C．food and drinks were offered on the plane then
D．traveling by air was very popular because of the flight attendants
2．Boeing Air Transport offered Ellen the job because of _______________.
A．her flying experience B．her university education
C．her nursing experience D．her life attitudes (态度)
3．The passage mainly talks about _______________.
A．the background of early flying pilots
B．the experience of flying passengers
C．the history of early flight attendants
D．the development of airplanes

15、Night Milk and Sleep
A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off — if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.
1．What does the phrase ‘nod off’ in the first paragraph mean?
A．Try to keep awake.
B．Try to sleep a longer time.
C．Change from being awake to a sleeping state.
D．Change from a sleeping state to being awake.
2．According to the text, the mice being fed with night time milk _________.
A．woke up later B．were more anxious
C．were less active D．could not sleep well
3．Why do lots of people think milk is excellent for helping sleep?
A．Because many people like drinking milk.
B．Because it’s been tested on mice ten times.
C．Because it can make people more energetic.
D．Because it contains calcium, which helps people to relax.

16、My friend John lived with his parents. They lived in a small town not far from London. Both his parents were over seventy years old.
One day, we drank in a bar with some other friends. It was dark but none wanted to leave. We hadn't been together for a long time. We talked and laughed. It seemed that all of us forgot the time.But suddenly John got up and went outside. "Where are you going?" I followed him. "I just want to make a call with my parents. It's late. I want to tell them not to wait for me."I noticed that he dialed(拨号码)the phone number twice as he called his parents. When he dialed the first time, he hung up after three rings. And then he dialed a second time and began to talk.¨Was the line busy the first time?"I asked.‘‘NO．” ‘'Then I can't understand why you dialed the phone twice."
My friend smiled. He told me, "When I call my parents, they are so eager(渴望的)to talk to me that they run for the phone. Once, in order to answer my phone call, my mother fell down and hit her little toe against the table leg. She couldn't walk for days. After that,I made an agreement with them: Don't run to answer the phone.I call first and let the phone ring three times to give them the time to prepare."
After listening to him, my heart felt full. We often show how we care for our parents with gitfs and cards, but aren't the everyday gifts doing from the little things and telling of our love?

17、"Chinese style road crossing" is a hot topic in China. Many cities have started to punish these jaywalkers.
"Chinese style road crossing" means that you cross roads with lots of people and you don't think about traffic lights at all.
Beijing government announced that people who do not wait for the green light to cross the road will receive a fine of 10 yuan. What’s more, using the diagonal to cross the road is also against the rules. Walkers should walk in an "L" shape. Besides Beijing, many places have also taken steps to stop "Chinese style road crossing". Provinces such as Sichuan, Shanxi and Zhejiang have already started to fine jaywalkers 5 to 50 yuan since last year. This punishment can call on people to realize the importance of traffic safety. However, many people complain that the red lights last too long. "Everyone should follow the rules, or the country will lose its order," said People Daily.
Some cities have also paid attention to the problem. For example, Beijing government said it should not only punish these jaywalkers, but also improve road safety facilities, such as properly fixing traffic lights and building overpasses*. Anyhow safety must come first.
