    Like most people, your intelligence(智力)changes from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in spring than you are at any time of the year. A well known scientist, Ellsworth Huntington concluded(得出结论)from other men's work and his own that climate and temperature have a clear effect on people's intelligence.

    He found that cool weather is much better for creative thinking than warm weather, but this doesn't mean that all people are not so quick at learning in summer as they are during the rest of the year. It doesn't mean, however, that the intelligence of a large number of people seems to the lowest in summer.

    Spring season appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in spring man's intelligence is affected(影响)by the same factors(因素)that bring about great changes in all nature.

    Autumn is the next-best season, then follows winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take long holidays from thinking.

(1)、You are probably a lot sharper           than you are at any other time of the year.
A、in summer B、in autumn C、in spring D、in winter
(2)、In the passage,the word "effect" means           .
A、影响 B、事实 C、努力 D、增长
(3)、Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A、like most people,your intelligence changes from season to reason. B、Autumn is the best season,then follows winter. C、Spring season appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. D、Ellsworth Huntington concluded from other men's work and his own that climate and temperature have a clear effect on people's intelligence.

If you've ever seen elephant seals(象海豹) lying on a beach, you might think all they do is sleep. But now scientists have discovered that when elephant seals are in the ocean, they hardly sleep at all. They just sleep for about two hours a day. 

Even though elephant seals are large animals, they have to be careful in the ocean. Near the surface(水面), predators like sharks and orca s are a danger. So elephant seals spend most of their time diving(潜水) deep underwater, looking for food. Usually, they will dive for about 30 minutes, then come up for air for just a couple of minutes before diving again. 

Scientists have wondered how elephant seals can sleep while they're at sea, since they are almost diving all the time. Animals like dolphins and sea lions have a special way. One half of their brain can sleep, while the other stays awake. But elephant seals are like humans- both halves of the brain need to go to sleep at the same time. So how do they sleep? 

To find out, a scientist named Jessica Kendall- Bar did a research. She created a special cap that could record the elephant seals' brain activity. The cap also collected information on the elephant seals' heart rates, how their bodies were moving, and how deep they were. Dr. Kendall- 

Bar and her team put the caps on thirteen young female elephant seals. 

The scientists learned that elephant seals steep in short times while they are diving. They only sleep for about 10 minutes at a time. They wake up in time to go up for more air. The scientists found that elephant seals only sleep for about two hours a day when they're in the ocean. That means that the rest they get once they return to land is very important, which helps them have energy again. Back on land they sleep for about 10.8 hours a day 

The researchers hope that their work will help to protect the places where elephant seals sleep when they're on land.

Taking public transportation(公共交通) in the United States, you can often see people reading books on their way to school or work. But in China, I rarely (很少的) see people reading during their free time. 

Are people's attitudes toward reading different here?Not really, Data (数据) released by Amazon China in December 2017 show that Chinese people still read a lot. They simply prefer e﹣books over regular books. 

However, other data show that reading is still more popular in the US than in China. Is there a reason for this difference?I'm not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature (文学) (From classic novels like Romance of the Three Kingdoms(《三国演义》) to the modern science﹣fiction books The Three﹣ Body Problem(《三体》), Chinese writers have created many fantastic written works. Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not fell like reading for fun. Chinese students definitely (肯定) have to read more and do more homework than US students. So it's no wonder that they might not want to read much in their spare time. 

But learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you cannot imagine. Even just a single book has the power to change your own beliefs and attitudes. Where will your next book take you?

Here comes autumn!It is the third season of the year. In China, autumn starts in September.  It is still a little warm, but it gets colder and colder. The days also get shorter and shorter. The leaves on the trees begin to turn yellow and red. The air is fresh. It's a great season for kids to play outside. What do children do in autumn in different countries?

In China, students often have an autumn picnic. Usually, they go out into nature. For  example, kids in Shenzhen like to go to the Donghu Park to play games with their classmates, like skipping(跳绳)and playing football. 

Japanese students often go hiking with their parents or classmates when the leaves are red and yellow. It is a perfect way to get exercise. Mountain climbing in nice weather is also a good choice. 

For most children in the US, biking is a good autumn activity. Take a mountain bike ride and you can find new roads. Playing in leaf piles(堆)is popular(流行的), too. Kids jump onto a leaf pile. They are happy to see the colourful leaves fly all around. They also make leaf rain. It's a lot of fun. 

In the UK, kids love to camp outside with their parents. They make food over the fire and tell ghost(鬼怪)stories.
