Do you remember the man who contributed a lot to the understanding of British and American English? Noah Webster, born on October 16, 1758, is known for The American Dictionary of the English Language. He has been called the “Father of American Scholarship and Education”. His “Blue-Backed Speller” books were used to teach spelling and reading to five generations of American children. But how much do you know about him beyond that? At the age of 16, Noah Webster began attending Yale College. Unfortunately, he spent his four years at Yale during the American Revolutionary War, and, because of food shortages, many of his college classes were held in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Later, he served in the army. Having graduated from Yale in 1778, Webster wanted to continue his education in order to earn his law degree. He had to teach school in order to pay for his education. He set up many small schools that didn't survive, but he was a good teacher because instead of forcing his students to learn, like most teachers did, he rewarded them. He earned his law degree in 1781, but did not practice law until 1789. Once he started he found the law was not to his liking. Webster did not have much money. In 1793, Alexander Hamilton lent him $1500 to move to New York City to edit a newspaper. In December, he founded New York 's first daily newspaper, American Minerva, and edited it for four years. For decades, he published textbooks, political essays, a report on some diseases, and newspaper articles for his party, He wrote so much that a modern list of his published works required 655 pages .

A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city. Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city. Even so, travel isn't that difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there's nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it's underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes. Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made ice of the Arctic Ocean(北冰洋) melt(融化). Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater. Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy's biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be built under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem. 25. What kind of city is Venice? A. It is a city without buildings. B. It is a city without bridges. C.

We spend around one third of our lives in bed, and the body does a lot of its repair work as we sleep, so enough good quality sleep is very important to our health. It doesn't stop there, though—some sleep positions are healthier than others. So which sleep position is the healthiest? Sleeping on your back is the healthiest sleep position, Health benefits include avoiding back and neck pain. Because the head is raised above the stomach when you sleep on your back， this position is best for people who suffer from nighttime acid reflux (胃酸逆流) as well. Around 80% of heartburn sufferers have problems during the night, so sleeping on their back could help a lot of people to enjoy a good night's sleep. If the sleep position alone is not enough to alleviate the condition, try raising the head of the bed by up to 4 inches by placing blocks under it. When you sleep on your back，your face is in a natural position. This means less wrinkles (皱纹)． If you really can't face sleeping on your back, another healthy sleep position is the side sleep. It's almost as good as the back position，and it's better for people who snore (打鼾) and their partners. Whichever sleep position you choose, use a pillow that supports the head and the neck without raising the head unnaturally, as this can bring neck pain. 28. Which is NOT one of the benefits of sleeping on the back? A. It can avoid acid reflux. B. It makes people look younger. C. It's good for heartburn sufferers. D. It helps people get rid of stomach pain. 29. Which is the best sleep position for people who snore? A. Sleep on the face. B. Sleep on the side. C. Sleep on the back. D. Sleep without pillows. 30.

My family often had a get-together with friends in my childhood. As I was smart, there was always someone who would come up to mention my high intelligence and ask, "What are you going to do when you grow up?" Well, it started out being a teacher or a hero. Later it was a fireman, an artist. . . As I grew older, my dreams of the future changed. When I was going to college, I was asked, "What will you major in?", another question designed to find out what I would be when I grew up. By then I made up my mind to become a computer programmer. So I was studying software for much of my life. I am happy that I could realize my dream. The realization of my life purpose encourages me to help others to succeed in their own lives. However, for many, there is a "thief" which goes around stealing our dreams and robbing us of the necessary mental state to achieve our goals. Sometimes, the thief will come as a parent, a relative, or a friend, but the greatest thief is just ourselves. Usually when we are about to reach the aim, a "small" voice inside will say, "You will never succeed. ""Very few have ever done this successfully. " And on and on the "small" voice makes us lose heart and fail. Failure, though, helps our dreams to come true. It is one of the most important tools we have, because it teaches us valuable lessons. And, when we learn these lessons well, we are ready for success. There are no "overnight" successes, but with perseverance, they will come. So just don't give up. Let dreams stay in your life. 32.
