1、阅读下面的短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。
“If you are going to get anywhere in life, you have to read a lot of books.” Roald Dahl once said.1.阅读在我们生活中扮演着重要的角色, and no one can live without books. People always get what they want from the books. When people ask Elon Musk, the founder of Space X, how he learned to build rockets, he says, “I read books.” So 2.你想从书中学到什么呢? Maybe you want to learn how to paint, or speak a new language? Maybe you want to learn how to stop procrastinating(拖延)? Or you want to know how to change your life? No matter(无论) what it is, reading can help.
3.One great thing about reading is that it can exercise your mind. When you are reading, your brain is working and it becomes active(积极的). Our brains have a “use it or lose it” rule. If we don’t exercise our minds too often, they may not give you useful information when necessary.
Reading is good for your memory(记忆), too. When you are reading detective fiction(侦探小说), for example, you’ll find it hard to understand the story if you can’t remember all the details(细节), so it is good exercise for your memory. 4.The more you read, the better memory you will have.
What’s more, reading makes you more confident(自信的), because reading can make you more knowledgeable—5.you can always have something interesting to talk about!
So what are you waiting for?

24、 Taking an afternoon nap could keep your brain sharp, a new study has said. Adults aged 60 and older who took afternoon naps showed signs of more agility(灵敏) compared to those who didn’t nap, according to study published in General Psychiatry(心理学) earlier this week.
Researchers analyzed napping habits in 2, 214 older Chinese people and measured their Cognitive(认知的) abilities using several cognitive tests. Participants took the Mini-Mental- State Examination and the Beijing version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Both of them test for memory, language and other cognitive abilities. In every thing listed in the study, nappers tested higher on average compared to their non-napping participants(参与者).
Researchers did not collect data from people under 60, so a relation cannot be made between napping and younger generations. The study showed that there are contrary results about the benefits and risks of napping, too.
Sleeping behaviors can be affected by a number of reasons, said Dr. David Neubauer. Daily routines, the use of medicine and sleeping problems can play a role in how often people can take a nap, according to the study.
Neubauer advised taking a shorter “power nap” of up to 20 minutes to decrease the chance of turning into slow-wave sleep which makes people feel uncomfortable when they wake up.
Napping can be a healthy part of an older adult’s day, Neubauer acknowledged, but make sure sleepiness isn’t due to a treatable nighttime sleep problem. “Older people who want to do all they can to keep their cognitive ability working should put nighttime sleep first.
【1】According to the study, what may improve old people’s performance?
A.Exercising.
B.Taking a nap.
C.Keeping working without a rest.
D.Communicating with elders more often.
【2】During the test, how many kinds of did participants have to take?
A.Three.
B.Four.
C.Two.
D.Five.
【3】Which of the following can help increase the frequency(频率) of napping?
A.To take medicines for staying awake often
B.To develop habit of napping.
C.To sleep longer at night.
D.To do exciting things while sleeping.
【4】Where can you probably find this passage?
A.In a novel.
B.In a magazine.
C.In a picture.
D.In an ad.
【5】According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A.Young generations don’t need napping as much as elders do.
B.The longer you take a nap, the better you will perform.
C.Cognitive abilities will be improved a lot without sleeping at night.
D.When napping, people must be careful not to get into a slow-wave sleep.
25、It was a sunny day. Everyone in the station was waiting for the train to arrive.

An old man with a young boy aged around 15 years came running to catch the train. They entered the train and the train started to move. They had their seats just next to the friends’ group.

One girl in our class always made fun of me because my dad was a plumber and hers was a lawyer(律师), and she would say things like, “Ew, that’s gross(粗俗的)!” I must admit I was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did, especially in my early teens, when the only thing I really cared about was what the other girls thought.
The girl lived a few streets away from us, and one winter day---the day her elder sister was getting married---the toilet in their main upstairs bathroom broke and there was water everywhere. Her father, the lawyer called every plumber in the Yellow Page, but nobody would come and because we were having a major snowstorm. Her daughter told him that my father was a plumber, and he called, and my dad went right over---and took me with him.(Maybe he was hoping that the lawyer’s daughter would be nicer to me.) My father fixed the toilet, help them clean up everything, and didn’t take much time for his trouble. But as we were leaving, he told the girl, “If I ever need a lawyer, I’ll be happy to call your dad.”
As we walked to our car, he said to me, “Do you believe he didn’t know where the main shut-off valve(阀) was? What a dumb ass!”
From that point on, her dad was known in school as Lawyer Dumb Ass.
When my husband and I bought our house, the first thing my dad showed him was the main shut-off valve.
I have always been proud to say that I’m a plumber’s daughter.
