the place themselves. They sold all its beautiful things. Finally, the war ended and King Charles II came back. But Placentia was falling down. So King Charles built a new and bigger palace, which is now open to the public.
At this time, Charles was worried about losing so many of its ships at sea: their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were. So in 1675, Charles made John Flamsteed, the first astronomer (天文学家)in England, try to find the answer. Flamsteed worked in a new building on the high ground in Greenwich Park. From it with a telescope which he made himself, Flamsteed could look all round the sky. And he did, night after night, for twenty years. Carrying on Flamsteed’s work a hundred years later, an astronomer called Harrison finally made a clock which told the time at sea, and helped sailors to know where they were. You can see Harrison’s clock, still working, in Greenwich’s museum of the sea. Because of Flamsteed’s work, every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich Time.

Kitty is a little black-and-brown Australian dog. It’s not a particularly bright dog. While Dad can make my sister and me afraid just by the tone of his voice, I have never heard him raise his voice at Kitty. In fact, one look from Kitty at the biscuit tin is enough to send my dad flying to get him a snack. Whenever we protest(抗议) about the unfair treatment, Dad has a sorry smile on his face. It’s become a
long-standing family joke that Kitty is the closest thing to a son Dad will ever have.
Then, five years ago, our lives were turned upside down when Dad suffered two major strokes(中风)within a month. For four long months, mentally he was non-responsive. We had to take turns standing by his bedside to protect him. We were exhausted after every \went by, I couldn’t help but talk about Kitty constantly, often hoping that Dad could show some awareness of what I said.
Then one day, without even realizing it, I blurted out(脱口而出), “Is Kitty a tiger?” Dad began to smile. It was the first sign in four months that Dad had showed any awareness of what I said. Seeing this, the whole family felt a huge weight lift from our shoulders.
Over the next nine months, Dad had to learn all the basic things we take for granted. Dad, who was an independent man with a successful career before all this happened, found it increasingly frustrating(令人沮丧的). The only thing that ever brought a smile to his face was talk of Kitty.
When we massaged(按摩)Dad’s arms and legs to prevent his muscles from weakening, I would always say: “Now all you need is Kitty to give you a ‘lick-lick’ foot massage!” No matter how many times I repeated this comment, the whole family would laugh.

B. liked Kitty very much D. felt sorry about raising Kitty

D. Regretful.
41. During the next nine months, Dad_________.

42. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A dog rescues its owner from danger. B. A dog helps a family get together.
C. A dog becomes a topic of the family’s talk. D. A dog makes my seriously sick dad smile.

A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression(情绪低落) as young adults.
The researchers used a national long-term survey of adolescent（青少年的）health to survey the relationship between media use and depression. They based their findings on more than 4,000 adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in the year 2000.
As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of five and one-half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.
Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was twenty-one.
The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games or radio, etc. But the study did find that every extra hour of television meant an eight percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. Young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.
The study didn’t explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.
Last December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Sociologists from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active, to read, to attend religious services and to vote.
43. We can learn from the survey that of all the media use ___________________. A. computer games are teenagers’ favourite B. most teenagers prefer to listen to the radio C. teenagers enjoy watching TV very much D. newspaper is not included in the survey
44. According to the passage, what kind of activity may help prevent depression? A. Playing computer games. B. Taking part in sports. C. Listening to the radio. D. Watching movies. 45. We can conclude that a teenager should ____________. A. play more video games instead of watching TV B. be active in taking part in outdoor activities C. be more active in reading and studying
D. attend religious services and care for politics

46 You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how: Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 47 A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class. 48 Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
