Some people choose the team of their hometown, or where they now live, or the team that their parents or their friends follow.ZXXKA boy student from Oklahoma wrote a letter to each of the owners or presidents of the 32 NFL teams. He would see what answers he got, and then choose his team.Bill was home from school sick. It was the week before Christmas. He was “kind of bored” and needed something to do. So he asked his parents if he could write to every professional football team. Bill wrote the 32 letters by hand.“We werent quite sure what we could get back. He didnt really have one team that he wanted to hear from,” his mother said: “He just wanted to see what kind of reply he d get.” A letter to the Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was one of those posted. Bill wrote in his letter, “My family and I love football. They are fans of different teams.But I dont have a team to cheer for yet. I am ready to pick an NFL team to cheer on for lifetime!”A few weeks later, Bills mother was pulling into her driveway when a delivery man arrived with a box from the Panthers. When Bill came home, he excitedly opened the box. Inside he found a signed Carolina Panthers helmet(头盔）as well as a handwritten note from Jerry.The team owner had written to Bill, “We should be honored(光荣的）if our Carolina Panthers became your team. We would make you proud of your joining us.”Bill was overjoyed with what he got. He decided that from then on he would support the Panthers. He keeps the letter from Jerry in his bedroom. His mother says, “Its not the helmet they sent us. Its what they told us.” That is what mattered to Bill and why he chose to become a Panthers fan.36 .

Have you heard it before? It means that we must go to bed early in the evening and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich (wealthy) and clever (wise).Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children need ten hours sleep every night. If you do not go to bed early, you cannot have enough sleep. Then you cannot think properly（适当地）and you cannot do your work properly. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We must sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us to sleep properly, When the daylight comes, we must get up. This is the time for exercise. Exercise means doing things with the body. Walking, running, jumping, swimming, and playing games are all exercise. If the body is not used, it becomes weak. Exercise keeps it strong. Exercise helps the blood(血液) to move around inside the body. This is very important. The brains(大脑)in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better.Our bodies also need air to breathe. Without air we die. We must have a lot of clean, fresh air to breathe if we want to be healthy41 . We will be healthy if we_Awork at nightBeat wellCgo to bed early and get up earlyDget up late42 .

But did you know that nature itself can glow（发光），too？Scientists have found many glowing creatures（生物），most of which live in the ocean. Some use their lights to communicate. Others shine to hunt，to mate（交配）or to protect themselves. The vampire squid（幽灵蛸），for example，gives out a cloud of light to scare enemies. Researchers around the world are looking into natures lights for new ideas. In 2013，the US company Gleaux said it has created the worlds first light-producing plant，reported Daily Mail. It is a genetically-modified（转基因的）plant that keeps glowing like fireflies. “People have dreamed about this stuff（事物）for many years，said Alexander Krichevsky，the companys founder. He and other researchers are working toward a future in which glowing plants replace lamps and glowing trees line highways. Krichevsky also hopes the technology could be used in crops，making them glow to let farmers know when they need water or are ready to be picked. While Gleaux is working on glowing plants，the French company Glowee is trying to use glowing bacteria（细菌）to light up shop windows and street signs. It is the same type of bacteria that causes a type of squid to light up. It is grown in a lab，reported New Scientist online.In 2016，Glowee created a bacteria-powered light that glowed for three days. The company is working on a light that shines brighter，lasts longer and comes in different colors. “Our goal is to change the way we produce and use light，” said Glowee founder Sandra Rey. “We want to offer a global solution that will reduce the 19 percent of electricity consumption（消耗量）used to produce light.”46 . Glowing creatures are animals or plants that_.Acan give off light themselvesBcan light up the night sky with electricityConly live in the deep oceanDcan collect light from nature47 . According to Krichevsky，in the future_.Athe worlds first light-producing plant will be createdBglowing plants will be used as lampsCcrops will be able to talk to farmers by glowingDElectricity could light up shop windows48 . Whats the purpose of Glowees research on glowing bacteria？ATo compete with the US company Gleaux.BTo create the brightest light in the world.CTo change the way we produce and use light.DTo help produce more electricity in the future.49 . What can we infer from the story？AMore than 80 percent of electricity is used to produce light.BResearchers dont think it is possible to plant glowing crops.CFrench companies have developed more quickly than American ones in this field.DGlowing plants can help save electricity in the future.五、阅读判断What is mythology?Long ago, people did not know much about science. For instance, they had not yet figured out why the sun rises. Ancient people saw death and disaster. However, they did not always understand what caused them. People developed stories to help make sense of the world. These tales were passed along through storytelling. Often, myths became part of peoples religion.Most myths try to answer questions: How was the world created? How did life begin? Why is there good and evil? Cultures everywhere came up with different ideas about how the world was formed. Some stories say an all-powerful god created it. One Polynesian myth tells about the god lo. This god formed the world out of water and darkness. Myths also explain the creation of human beings. One ancient story from India described a being called the Self. When the Self became lonely, it divided into two parts. It became a man and a woman. Their children became the human race. Many cultures also have myths about why sickness and disaster happen. For example, a famous Greek myth tells the story of Pandora. Out of curiosity, she opened a dangerous jar. Inside were sickness and other kinds of suffering. These evils were released into the world.Often cultures developed stories about groups of gods. The ancient Egyptians believed in many of these beings. It was said that some looked like human while others looked like animals. Anubis was the doglike god of the dead. Ra had a falcons head and was god of the sun. The ancient Greeks also worshiped many gods. They believed that a group of them lived on Mount Olympus. Zeus was always their king. The Greeks later wrote down their myths in poems and plays. they described the adventures of the gods and human heroes. These myths influenced Greek writing and thinking. The ancient Romans borrowed many Greek myths. They often gave (he Greek gods new names. For example, Zeus became Jupiter. The stories were turned into poetry, sculpture and other art forms. They continue to show up In our art today.Choose A for T and B for F.50 . Many people used ancient myths to explain events that had not been explained by science.51 . Gods from the Roman culture are so similar to gods from the Greek culture because they both try to answer the same basic questions.52 . The Indians thought there were bad things in the world be cause Pandora opened a dangerous jar and released all kinds of evil into the world.53 .
