He took out his lunch bag and opened it. He saw a hamburger, an orange and salad. Mario was sad. He always had a hamburger for lunch. " Trade lunches?" he asked Mark. "OK," said Mark. He gave Mario his brown bag. Mario opened the bag and closed it quickly. He didn't like the egg in it. Then he asked the girl in front of him," Trade lunches, Toni? “OK," said Toni. Mario laughed. This was fun. But when he looked into the bag, he was sad. It had a hamburger and an apple, but no oranges. Mario had to have oranges for lunch every day. Then Mario turned to Juana and asked, " Do you want to trade lunches?' " Of course!" said Juana. She gave her lunch bag to Mario. Mario opened the lunch bag. A pizza and an orange were in it. He was very happy. He reached into the bag to get it. Oh, no! The pizza was too hard. " One last try," said Mario. " Hey, Mona! Trade lunches?" Mona waited for one minute and said OK. Then she gave her lunch bag to Mario. Mario opened the bag. It had a hamburger, an orange and salad. The hamburger was a little squashed(压扁的) , but Mario ate it. And it was delicious. 21.

They spend more than half their lives sleeping and enjoy every minute of it. Other animals have different sleeping habits, however. Horses may not look like they are asleep. But they are! Horses spend about six hours sleeping every day and they do it standing up! Fish also sleep every day but they have a strange habit. They don't close their eyes when they are sleeping. When ducks sleep they keep one eye open and one half of their brain awake. It helps them stay alert (警惕的) and watch out for dangerous animals. So what about us? Well, most people sleep for about a third of their lives. The number of hours you sleep, however, has to do with your age. Most newborn babies sleep a lot. They spend about 75% of their time sleeping every day! As we get older we need less sleep. Children need about eleven hours and adults sleep for eight hours every night. So, yes, you spend many hours a year doing nothing - sleeping in bed! But you' re not just asleep — you' re not really doing nothing. Your body and your mind relax during this time, but a lot of things happen during sleep. Dreams are one way that the mind relaxes after a busy day. A person spends about 20% of every night dreaming. That means you have about four or five dreams every night or about 1,600 dreams a year. 25. From the passage, we know that a horse A. sleeps with one eye open B. keeps standing up when sleeping C. spends half of its life sleeping D. doesn't close its eyes when sleeping 26. According to the passage, how long do most newborn babies sleep one day? A. About 12 hours. B. About 14 hours. C. About 16 hours. D. About 18 hours. 27. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How we can have a good sleep. B. Why some people don't have dreams. C. How many dreams we have every night. D. What our body and mind are doing when we' re sleeping. 28. Where does the passage probably come from? A. An art book. B. A storybook. C. A science book. D. A history book. C Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self- driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a" smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think. Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a" telepresence" system(远程遥控系统)— allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetıngs, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system. The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business. About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems.“ Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener, " said Dan Hill, head of a research company. 29. According to the text, living in a“ smart" city A. is not a green way B. will be far from you C. will soon become true D. is completely impossible 30. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A.
