After three quarters of an hour they reached the height where the hut（小屋）of the old man stood on a rock, exposed to every wind, but bathed in the full sunlight. From there you could see far down into the valley.
Overlooking the valley the old man had made himself a bench, by the side of the hut. Here he sat, with his pipe between his teeth and both his hands resting on his knees. He quietly watched the children climbing up with the goats and Aunt Deta behind them. Heidi reached the top first, and approaching the old man, she held out her hand to him and said, “Good evening, grandfather！”
“Well, well, what does that mean?” replied the old man in a rough voice. Giving her his hand for only a moment, he watched with a long and penetrating（穿透性的）look from under his bushy brows. Heidi gazed back at him and examined him, for he was strange to look at.
Deta had arrived in the meantime with Peter, who was eager to see what was going to happen.
“Good-day to you, uncle,” said Deta as she approached. “This is Tobias’s and Adelheid’s child. You won’t be able to remember her, because last time you saw her, she was only a year old.”
“Why do you bring her here?” asked the uncle, and turning to Peter, he said: “Get away and bring my goats. How late you are already！”
Peter obeyed and disappeared; the old man had looked at him in such a manner that he was glad to go.
“Uncle, I’ve brought the little girl for you to keep,” said Deta. “I have done my share these four years and now it’s your turn to provide for her.”

There’s actually a famous sort of lege(传说) where everyone has these really, really long chopsticks(筷子), too long for them to feed themselves. And so in hell, everyone goes hungry, because they can’t pick up food and put it in their mouths. But in heaven, people take the same chopsticks and then feed each other.

Chopsticks are used widely. Across much of Asia, about 1.5 billion people use chopsticks in their daily lives. Different cultures have slightly different variations of chopsticks. Chinese chopsticks tend to be long and round, Korean chopsticks are flatter and often made of metal and Japanese chopsticks tend to be round and very, very pointy.
Chopsticks are actually really common in American society today. But there was definitely a time in the late 1800s when Asian men, because they ate rice with sticks, were of a different quality than American men, who ate proper meat with a knife and fork. But when China and the United States began their diplomatic engagement(外交接触) in the 1970s, Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, had to practice eating with chopsticks. As Asian cooking has moved from the East into the West, chopsticks have interestingly become part of the experience.
Chopsticks can date from the Shang dynasty which is about 3000 years ago, and they loved tripods(鼎) during that time. So when you cooked with these big tripods, chopsticks were actually really useful, because it was a way for you to reach without getting burned as the water was boiling in these really big pots. Chinese culture has knives and has forks. It uses them in many cases for cooking. But in the dining room, it is the chopsticks.
【1】Why does the author mention the legend in Paragraph 1?
A.To give examples. B.To make comparisons.
C.To raise questions. D.To introduce the topic.
【2】What does the underlined word “variations” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Forms. B.Features C.Changes. D.Kinds.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.People loved to use tripods because of chopsticks.
B.Chopsticks have been used since the ancient times.
C.Chopsticks may get you burned by the boiling water.
D.People use knives and forks to follow Chinese culture.
【4】What can we know from the passage?
A.Chopsticks can do the same job as knives and forks.
B.Chopsticks have become more popular across the world.
C.Chopsticks have caused trouble in diplomatic engagement.
D.Chopsticks will be replaced by knives and forks in the future.

Could being a little overweight help you live longer? A new international analysis (分析) shows a surprising answer: while obesity (肥胖) increases the risk of dying early, being slightly overweight reduces it. These studies included almost 3 million adults from around the world, yet the results were clearly the same, the authors of the analysis said.
“If you have a medical condition, your chances, of living are slightly better if you are a bit on the heavy side,” says study author Katherine Flegal, “Several factors may contribute to this finding.”
“Heavier people may tend to see the doctor earlier,” she says, “and may be more likely to be treated according to the doctor’s advice. Obesity itself may protect the heart, or someone who is heavier might be better able to fight against a shock to the system.”
For the study, Flegal’s team collected data on more than 2.88 million people included in 97 studies. The researchers looked at the participants’ (参与者) body mass index (BMI), a measure of body fat that takes into consideration a person’s height and weight.
The researchers found that, compared with people of normal weight, overweight people had a 6 percent lower risk of death. Obese people, however, had an 18 percent higher risk. For those who were the least obese, the risk of death was 5 percent lower than people of normal weight, but for those who were the most obese, the risk of death was 29 percent higher, the findings showed.
While the study found a relation between weight and the risk of early death, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship. Indeed, one expert warmed that body weight alone cannot tell health and the risk of death.
“There are other factors that play a role in health,” says Dr. William, a professor at Louisiana State University. “BMI simply is a parameter (参数); it doesn’t take family history, smoking, fitness, and other factors into consideration.”
【1】What did Flegal’s team do for their study?
A.They interviewed almost 3 million adults. B.They did 97 experiments with fat people.
C.They collected data on 2.88 million people. D.They talked with doctors for medical conditions.
【2】Compared with people of normal weight, the least obese people had a(n)______ risk of death.
A.5 percent lower B.6 percent lower C.18 percent higher D.29 percent higher
【3】Which of the following may Dr. William agree with?
A.Weight contributes to the risk of early death.
B.Weight has no relation with the risk of death.
C.BMI is only a factor to judge people’s health.
D.BMI alone can tell people’s health conditions.
【4】What can be the suitable title for the passage?
A.Obesity kills B.The thinner, the healthier
C.BMI counts D.A bit overweight, a longer life

We can all have a bad night of sleep and that’s perfectly normal, but how could we try to improve both the quantity and the quality of our sleep?【1】
Let’s start with regularity.【2】Regularity is king, and it will actually help your sleep, no matter whether it’s the weekday or the weekend or even if you’ve had a bad night of sleep. Many of us use an alarm to wake up but very few of us use a to-bed alarm, and that’s something that can be helpful.
【3】It turns out that your brain and your body need to drop their temperature by about 1℃ in order to begin sleep and then to stay asleep. And this is the reason that you will always find it easier to fall asleep in a room that’s too cold than too hot.
The third tip is darkness. We need darkness specifically in the evening to produce a hormone called melatonin（褪黑素）. In the last hour before bed, try to stay away from all of those computer screens and phones.【4】You’d actually be quite surprised at how sleepy that can make you feel.
The final tip is to walk it out. Don’t stay in bed awake for long periods of time. And the general rule is that if you’ve woken up and you can’t get back to sleep after 25 minutes, 【5】And you can go and do something else. Only return to bed when you’re sleepy. And in that way, gradually, your brain will relearn the relation that your bed is this place of sound and continuous sleep.
A.Next, keep the room cool.
B.Turn off the lights in your room.
C.Here are four tips for better sleep.
D.the recommendation is to get out of bed.
E.Visit your doctor if you have a sleep problem.
F.Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time.
G.It doesn’t matter whether you get up or fall asleep again.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Buck lived at a big house in a sunny valley in California. He had had a good life as his owner’s close companion, and he was proud of himself, for he had not become a house dog. Hunting and other outdoor activities had hardened his muscles and swimming had made him healthy.
This was Buck in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike brought men from everywhere to the frozen north. But Buck did not read the newspapers. And he did not know that Manuel, the gardener’s helper was not a good man. And one time when his owner was away on business, Manuel put a rope round Buck’s neck. Buck accepted it because he knew Manuel. But when the rope was given to another man, he growled dangerously. And when the rope was tightened round his neck, he started to choke and jumped at the man in anger. The man fought him off and forced him to lie on his back, and tightened the rope even more. Then Buck’s strength drained away and he soon became faint.
When he woke up he heard a whistle blow, and he knew where he was because he had often travelled by train with his owner. He opened his eyes, full of anger. The man jumped for the rope, but Buck was too quick for him. He closed his teeth on the man’s hand, and held on until he was choked faint again.
Later that man, his hand wrapped in a bloody handkerchief, went into a San Francisco bar. He talked to the barman. There Buck was pushed into a cage, with the rope removed. Buck lay there for the rest of the night, feeling angry. He could not understand what it all meant. What did these strangers want with him?Why were they keeping him in this small box? He jumped up several times in the night, expecting to see his owner come up, but each time disappointed.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.续写部分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1：
Buck passed through many hands in that cage.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
In the end he could jump no more. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
