20、s one of these people.Why does someone want to be a spy? Some do it for their country. Some for money. Some just love it. Nathan Hale became a spy for the first reason. He lived during the American Revolution (革命). He and his people fought the British army.In 1774, Hale joined the American army. Bef

21、ore that, he was a schoolteacher. Two years later, he chose to be a spy. He had to get information from the British army. He went to the city where the British army was staying. He told them that he was a schoolteacher and wanted to find a new job. He tried to get information for the American army.

22、Hale finally got something important and decided to go back. He hid some papers in his boots. He went to the riverbank and waited for a boat to pick him up. However, British soldiers caught Hale at the riverbank and found the papers in his boots. It turned out that as a young spy, Hale didnt have en

23、ough experience. He had told his secret to somebody else. But that person sold him out to the British army. Hale died on Sept 22, 1776.

27、nd historical(历史的) facts give you a headache? A change in the school timetable (课程表) may be the cure.This suggestion is based on a recent study carried out by scientists from Royal Holloway, University of London, the UK. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the

28、 mornings and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoons.The researchers studied students grade reports, class timetables and absence rates(缺席率) at a middle school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored

29、 about 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students feel stressed most when they were studying math in the afternoon. In history, students taught in the afternoon scored about 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the morning. However, there was no sig

30、n that similar patterns(模式) work for other subjects such as languages or geography.Velichka Dimitrova, who did the study, said the findings show that we perform(表现) better at different times of the day. “In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something like prob

31、lem solving, where we require more speed and attention” Dimitrova told The Telegraph. “In the afternoon, it seems that this process slows down. On the other hand, history is more suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion,” she said. Subjects such as foreign languag

32、es require both memory and creativity. This is perhaps why the time of day had no influence on language learning.Time-of-day influences such as these are believed to have something to do with the body clock. This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US

33、 and UK have tried later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults. Dimitrova believes schools should jump at this chance to improve their students performance just by changing their timetables.41. In which classes do you learn equations (Paragraph 1) acc

34、ording to the passage? A. Maths B. GeographyC. English D. History42. According to the new study, _. A. afternoon classes lowered students performance in history B. school timetables have an influence on every subject C. it was better for students to learn math in the morning D. lower-ability student

35、s preferred to start school earlier43. Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. It shows the importance of studying different subjects at different times of the day B. It introduces the best time to do things that require memory and creativity C. It encourages students to change their study methods fo

36、r better results D. It explains how school timetables affect peoples study performance44. According to Dimitrova, _. A. rearranging(重新安排) school timetables is the best way to improve students test scores B. schools should follow advice from the study and actively change their timetables C. most scho

37、ols dont have enough resources to support timetable changes D. schools should think twice before changing their class timetables45. What is the best title of this passage? A.
