26、   I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Mashwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Mashwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.

There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Mashwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.

Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.

While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Mashwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring(吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.

【1】The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw _______.

A.the calf was about to fall into the river

B.Mashwe was placing the calf on the rock

C.the calf was washed away by the rising water

D.Mashwe was holding the calf against the rushing water

【2】How did Mashwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water?

C.It was a call for help. D.It was a musical note.

27、   Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place?

Lots of people do. And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one-half of the brain “remains more awake” than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.

This appears a case of the brain keeping people ready for trouble in a new place, the researchers said.

The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home. They call it “first-night influence”. “In Japan they say, ‘If you change your pillow, you can’t sleep,’” said Yuka Sasaki, one of the report’s writers, “You don’t sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it.”

The researchers measured brain waves(测量脑波) for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart. They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half. This was during the first deep-sleep period, the researchers said.

Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.

Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long. So, they don’t know if the left half keeps “watch” all night. Or whether it “works in shifts” with the right half later in the night. They also don’t know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.

For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is “looking out for us” in a new place. But it may not help with sleep. That brain activity, at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.

【1】What did the research find during the first deep-sleep period?

A.They found the brain wave remained the same.

B.They found the brain activity helped with sleep.

C.They found the right half of the brain kept “watch”.

D.They found the left half of the brain was more active.

【2】Which of the following is one of the questions that remain?

A.Whether the new bed keeps you from sleeping.

B.How you have trouble sleeping in a new place.

C.Why the brain activity is always on the left half.

D.What people can do when they can’t sleep well.

【3】The underlined word “calming” has the closest meaning to ______.

A.pleasing B.different C.serious D.strange

【4】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to?

A.The brain wave.

B.The brain activity.

C.The whole brain.

D.The left half of the brain.

28、   We sat on the swing （秋千）enjoying the warm summer air, truly without a care in the world. Cody, my 6-year-old son laughed, as he swung h【1】 than me. His laugh made me smile. Afterwards, we went for a walk. As we were walking, Cody looked up at me and said, “Today is the best day, isn't it?” T【2】 I didn't understand the meaning of his words, I still smiled at him and r【3】, “Yes, you're right.” I then started thinking about what we had done that day? We didn't really do anything s【4】. There was nothing we did that cost any money. It was just a c【5】 day.

But then, I found out my p【6】. So often, we wait for our “best days” without r【7】 that “today is our best day” or we say, “when I get this”, or, “if only this”, or, “when I have more money, I will...”, and we forget to live every day, to enjoy today. So often, we just wait for the “best days”. And the most terrible thing is that we are used to c【8】 the best thing with money.

We should be more like c【9】. They truly live in the moment! They don't need expensive things to make them happy and they can always enjoy the simple p【10】 in their life. There is a saying, “Carpe Diem” which means, “Seize the Day”. As we get older, we need to remember this saying and enjoy every day. Live each moment to its fullest!
