26．B  imagine意為"想像，設想；猜想，推測"，上文講到I had a picture in mind：Daddy watching TV in the living room．Mummy baking cakes and their teenage daughter off to the cinema with her boyfriend．因此可判斷出實際的情況與她想象的不一樣．describe意為"描述"．create意為"創(chuàng)作，創(chuàng)造"．discover意為"發(fā)現(xiàn)"．

11．Have you winterized your horse yet？Even though global warming may have made our climate more mild，many animals are still hibernating （冬眠）．It's too bad that humans can't hibernate．In fact，as a species，we almost did．
    Apparently，at times in the past，peasants in France liked a semi-state of human hibernation．So writes Graham Robb，a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants．As soon as the weather turned cold，people all over France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end．
    In line with this，Jeff Warren，a producer at CBC Radio's The Current，tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial（人造的）lighting and the electric bulb．
    When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages，they noticed something referred to as"first sleep"，which was not clarified，though．Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods．The business of eight hours'uninterrupted sleep is a modem invention．
    In the past，without the artificial light of the city to bathe in，humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight．The late night period was known as"The Watch"．It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals，although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighhours．
    According to some sleep researchers，a short period of insomnia （失眠） at midnight is not a disorder．It is normal．Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping，which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning．This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people．The impressive inventor，Thomas Edison，used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas．
     Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous，as anxiety may set in．Medical science doesn't help  much in this case．It offers us medicines for a full night's continuous sleep，which sounds natural； however，according to Warren's theory，it is really the opposite of what we need．

67．The example of the French peasants shows the fact thatB．
A．people might become lazy as a result of too much sleep．
B．there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habits．
C．people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weather．
D．winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end．
68．The late night was called"The Watch"because it was a time for peopleD．
A．to set traps to catch animals．
B．to wake up their family and neighbours．
C．to remind others of the time．
D．to guard against possible dangers．
69．What does the author advise people to do？C
A．Sleep in the way animals do．
B．Consult a doctor if they can't sleep．
C．Follow their natural sleep rhythm．
D．Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern．
70．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？D
A．To give a prescription for insomnia．
B．To urge people to sleep less．
C．To analyze the sleep pattern of modem people．
D．To throw new light on human sleep．

12．Dear John，
   My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life． This past year has been one of the hardest for me． I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life． In January，after two years of being together，my boyfriend left me．

6．She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall．No way could I have sent her away．No way，not me anyway．Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before．"We're moving house．""No space for her any more with the baby coming．""We never really wanted her，but what could we have done？She was a present．"People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal．And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen．
I called her Goldie．If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name．She was so unsettled during those first few days．She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her．There was nothing I could do to make her happy，it seemed．Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's．But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down．Always by my side，whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire．
That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk．We were a long way from home，when she started barking and getting very restless．Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could．
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie．But when I saw her licking the four puppies I started to feel sympathy towards them．"We didn't know what had happened to her，"said the woman at the door．"I took her for a walk one day，soon after the puppies were born，and she just disappeared．""She must have tried to come back to them and got lost，"added a boy from behind her．
I must admit I do miss Goldie，but I've got nugget now，and she looks just like her mother．And I've learnt a good lesson：not to judge people．
