Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension
For millions of people around the world, the very word "Christmas" brings warmth and joy to their hearts and homes. To some, it is simply a very popular holiday. But for many, it honors the birth of Jesus Christ. Here is a brief history of Christmas, and some of the traditions connected with it.
Why December 25th?
Well, during the first two centuries after Jesus' death, Christmas was not celebrated at all. Various attempts were made to determine the date of birth of Jesus and at first, May 20th became the favored date. By the middle of the fourth century, however, Pope Julius selected December 25th as the day on which to celebrate Christ's birth. Before that, December 25th had been a widely celebrated day in the Roman world. On that date, people honored a Roman sun god. Many modem Christmas customs, such as having a tree in the house and preparing special meals, came from this ancient celebration.
Let's decorate the tree!
The Christmas tree tradition was started in Germany in the late fifteenth century. At that time, there was a popular theater play which included a fir tree hung with apples. Today, more than 80 percent of American families buy and decorate a tree at Christmas.
How many Christmas cards do you usually send?
The first commercial Christmas cards were made in London in 1843. A rich man paid an artist to design a card. He then proudly sent it to his friends and relatives to wish them a "Merry Christmas". It was a good idea and it soon caught on. Today Americans exchange millions of Christmas cards every year.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
St. Nicholas was the original Santa Claus or "Father Christmas". He was widely known as a kind man who loved children. After his death, a story developed that he used to visit children on Christmas Eve and give them presents. When the Dutch people came to live in America many years ago, they brought their St. Nicholas, or Sinter Klaas in Dutch, with them. Sinter Klaas is therefore where we get the name Santa Claus.
What's in that stocking?
According to the story, the practice of hanging up stockings is connected with St. NiCholas. It is believed that St. Nicholas learned about a man who was hopelessly in debt. He also learned that the man and his daughters were about to be sold as slaves. Nicholas went to the man's home at night and threw a bag of gold through the man's window. The bag of gold landed in one of the daughters' stockings that had been hung up to dry.
Today, all the above traditions are still kept as ways of celebrating Christmas.
31、 Lots of people celebrate Christmas to ______.

D．Christmas was celebrated widely soon after Jesus' death.
33、 What does "it soon caught on" in Paragraph 7 mean?______
A．It was not allowed by the people in London.
B．It was popular among the people.
C．It was not welcomed by the man's relatives and friends.
D．It was very expensive.
34、 From the text, we can learn that the story of Father Christmas may come from ______.
A．the Germans B．the Romans
C．the Dutch D．the Americans
35、 Why does Father Christmas put the presents in the stockings?______
A．Because he doesn't know where to put the presents.
B．Because the stockings are good places for the presents.
C．Because he wants children to spend time finding them.
D．Because the gold thrown by St. Nicholas happened to fall in the stockings.
Air travel is an everyday experience these days because it's so fast. But frequent long-distance flying can be very tiring and the traveler begins to feel his brain is in one country and his body is in another. In short, he hardly knows where he is.
Tiredness after a long flight becomes stronger when we fly from east to west or vice versa because we cross time zones.
Doctors say that air travelers should go straight to bed on arrival after crossing a number of time zones. They shouldn't work without rest. However, airline pilots can hardly be affected. In fact, they often live by their own watches, paying no attention to local time. They can even have breakfast at midnight if necessary.
Businessmen, however, are not so lucky. After a long journey, they must either go straight to an important meeting or to their boss to give a report. Even so, there are still a lot of businessmen traveling by air.
36、 Air travel has become a daily experience because it is ______.
A．very cheap B．easy to get
C．so fast D．clean and comfortable
37、 When the author says "the traveler begins to feel his brain is... his body is in another", he means that ______.
A．the traveler goes mad B．the traveler becomes foolish
C．the traveler feels uncomfortable D．the traveler doesn't know where he is
38、 Doctors say that air travelers should ______ after a long journey.
A．go to work without wasting time B．take exercise to relax
B．stay with their family members D．go to bed and have a good rest
39、 Pilots can hardly be affected by frequent flying because they ______.
A．live by their own timetable B．like flying

A．going to a meeting B．going back home and having a good rest
C．reporting to their boss D．going to work directly
After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep point out that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.
41、 A good title for this text might be ______.
A．Sleep B．Dreams C．Good Health D．Work and Rest
