B Not long ago，two of my grandchildren came over for Sunday night family dinner.They walked in and made straight for the sofa to lie down.Aged 10 and 12，they pulled out their smart phones and started gaming. It saddens me to watch them，and so many other kids today，see gaming as play.When I was a kid，I knew how to play. When I wanted a metal pedal car（踏板车） like some of my rich friends，my father made me one out of wood.At first，I was ashamed of the homemade toy.But I soon began to like it when my friends all wanted a ride.Dad also built a huge playhouse and several tree houses.When I was older，he made me a high stand.Dad just loved building things or he really，loved me，or maybe a little of both. In my neighborhood we didn't have much to play with.For fun,we had to get creative.We put up tents in the backyard and camped out.At night，we looked for adventures on the streets.We once went on a week-long bike trip to Lake Huron . My grandchildren have no idea how much fun these activities can be.That Sunday night，after dinner，I decided to take them outside to show them something"different". The first response was，"Why did we have to put our shoes on and go outside？""Because I wanted to show you something，"I said and picked up my frisbee（飞盘）."I thought we could go outside and throw the frisbee around." I got a slow and unwilling"Sure"for my efforts. With some further unwillingness，we walked out into the street and began throwing the frisbee back and forth badly."Bend（使弯曲） your wrist（手腕），"I instructed helpfully. Slowly，we got the hang of it and hit the neighbor's car only three times.It's amazing how much a frisbee hurts when your fingers are cold，but we were making progress.My grandson found three excuses to go inside.Each time，though，his grandma kicked him back out.We played until the neighbor came to check on his car. It was a great success，I think，but you cannot win a war by winning just one battle. 21.Which of the following is true according to the passage？ ______ A.

C There's nothing quite like falling sound asleep after a full day of work.Like people，animals need to rest after working hard.Some animals sleep in water.Others dig holes under the ground.Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves.But they all find a way to rest. Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways.Fish sleep with their eyes open.They seem to look ahead far into the sea while they rest.Sea otters sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea.This keeps them from moving away.Parrotfish blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep.Then a bubble （气泡） will be formed around them.The bubble protects them from harm while they sleep. Some animals sleep under the ground.Chipmunks （花栗鼠） sleep curled up （蜷缩） in a ball.Their beds are made of leaves and grass.In winter，they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored food.Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again.Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot，dry season.A frog may stay in its hole for months. High above the ground，monkeys find leafy places in trees each evening before they sleep.The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night.Some insects even sleep under the leaf that will be their next meal.A bee may climb down into a flower to rest.When it climbs out the next morning，it is rested and ready for work. 26.How does the writer start the passage？ ______ A.
