He hired Charles parents along with him, and they traveled the world together.He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a name, General Tom Thumb.

24、 He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.During the show, Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people. He also danced upon a wo

25、oden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall. Toms act was very popular and brought in a lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich.

27、rk to have a look at their tiny wedding marriage. The couple even met with President Abraham Lincoln on their honeymoon just before going to live in Toms house in Connecticut.Their wedding, which took place during the Civil War, provided a welcome escape from the sad problems of war.

32、 a problem that couldnt be solved the night before can often appear more manageable, although the evidence until now has been anecdotal (个人体验的)But researchers at the University of Luebek in Germany have designed an experiment that shows a good nights sleep can improve insight (顿悟) and problem-solvin

33、g“If you have some newly-got memories in your brain, sleep acts on these memories and restructures them , so that after sleep the insight into problem which you could not solve before increases,” said Dr Jan Born , a neuroscientist (神经科学家), at the universityTo test the theory, they taught volunteers

34、 two simple rules to help them turn a string of numbers into a new orderThere was also a third, hidden rule, which could help them increase their speed in solving the problemThe researchers divided the volunteers into two groups: half were allowed to sleep after the training while the rest were forc

35、ed to stay awakeDr Jan Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the training were twice as likely to figure out the third rule as the other group“Sleep helped,” Born said in a telephone interview“The important thing is that you have to have a memory representation in your brain

36、of the problem you want to solve and then you sleep, so it can act on the problem” But Born admitted that he and his team dont know how restructuring of memories occurs or what governs itPierre Maquet and Perrine Ruby of the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports the

37、anecdotal suggestions that sleep can help develop creative thinkingAlthough the role of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery, the research gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep, they added55The underlined phrase “sleep on it” in Paragraph 1 probably means Ato

AHow Sleep Works BSleep Helps Solve Problems

40、 CNo Evidence, But Well Founded DBorns Discovery On Sleep CAs I was reading a recent story in Slate on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy was ruining their life plans, I couldnt help but think the 20-somethings sounded like a bunch of spoiled children who grew up expecting everything to

41、 be easy for them. As a 20-something myself, I certainly share their disappointment: my husband and I probably wont be able to buy a house until were in our 40s, and we too are burdened by student loans(贷款). But why should it be any different? Being young persons in America, shouldnt they take up al

42、l of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?Consider some of these views shared in the Slate story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a two-bedroom apartment with her husband, worries that she wont be able to have children for at least a decade because they cant afford to buy a house yet.I r

43、ead that, and I thought, what planet is she living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury(奢华), not a fertility requirement.A 26-year-old in the story despairs(绝望) that he cant a

44、fford to get a Ph.D. in literature. Well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years.Yes, its sad that these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic re

45、ality. Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks peoples expectations are slowly adjusting, but todays 20-somethings grew up at a time when everyones wealth appeared to be expanding. Their parents probably saw their home value

46、s rise along with their investments. “So you have people who have grown up in an environment where people had great expectations of what living well means,” says Kobliner.This recession(衰退) will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems

47、a lot better for our mental health to focus on being gratefulfor our one-bedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a daythan on longing for some kind of luxury life.59What makes the author think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled

48、children?AThey expect everything to be easy for them.BThey complain that the economy is spoiling their life plans.CThey are reluctant to face all of the challenges.DThey are burdened by student loans.60The underlined word “fertility” in Paragraph 3 probably means .Ababy productionBpleasantCbaby comf

49、ortDessential61Whats the authors attitude towards the 20-somthings with high expectation in Paragraph 5?AIntolerant.BNegative.CUnbelieving.DUnderstanding.62What is the best title for this passage?AHow Young People Afford to Continue Their StudyBWhy Young People Cant Afford to Buy a HouseCWhen Young

50、Peoples High Hopes Create Despair DWhat the 20-somethings High Expectations AreD TOKYO - The number of domestic infections cases of influenza A/H1N1 in Japan hits 42 on Sunday after a total of 34 people in Osaka and Hyogo counties were confirmed to have been infected, local media reported. The total

51、 number of the infection in the country now stands at 46, including the first four cases contracted abroad.
