By the time Bunny reached the bottom of the stairs, though, everything was again silent. Beautiful gifts were piled (堆积) under the Christmas tree, but Father Christmas was gone. He looked for him for a few minutes, but it was already too late. Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.

“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”

He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of gifts to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. Bunny might have mistaken it for a dog, if it hadn't been for the antlers (鹿角) on its head.

“Are you a reindeer (驯鹿)?”asked Bunny.

“Yes,” replied the animal, “my name is Ralph.”

“And you were pulling Father Christmas' sled (雪橇)?”

“I was until I got airsick,” replied Ralph, “I'm afraid I wasn'tcut out forthe job. Now I'm stuck here and I don't know how to get back to the North Pole.”

“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the gift he wanted from Father Christmas was a new friend!

My father is strong and powerful. He and his cousin are the leaders of our pride. The other members are my mother, her sisters, and their children.

The area where a pride lives is big! We roar (咆哮) to tell each other where we are and to warn strangers to stay away.

Meet my new baby brother. His name is Leon. See the spots on his fur? We lions are born spotted or striped (有条纹的). As we grow older, the spots gradually disappear.

Lionesses usually spend their entire lives with their birth pride, but Leon will leave when he is about three years old. He’ll run around with a male (雄性的) friend or relative for a few years until they take over a pride of their own.

But for now, we have lots of fun together. We often play and fight for hours, which can help us practice skills that we will need for hunting.

We lions keep ourselves very clean. Just like a house cat, I clean my fur (毛) with my tongue. We clean for each other, too, to show we’re friends.

Lions like to sleep for most of the day. We hunt in the cool evening. Female (雌性的) lions hunt more often than male lions. We work together as a team. At the right moment, we attack and kill our prey. Then we share it. Male lions usually eat first. Females eat next. Baby lions are the last to eat. The smallest one gets the least food.

Since we are full, it’s time to go to find a nice place for a sleep. Bye!

A hotel chain is employing human bed warmers to help guests get a good night’s sleep. 【1】 (dress) in special all-in-one sleeping suits, the walking electric blankets are sent to warm the beds of guests staying at the Holiday Inn 【2】 they get under the covers.

Dr Chris Idzikowski, 【3】 (direct) of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, said the idea could help people get off to sleep. He 【4】 (explain) that “There’s plenty of scientific evidence to show that sleep starts at the beginning of the night 【5】 body temperature starts to drop. The drop occurs partly because the blood vessels (血管) 【6】 the hands, face and feet open up and release heat.” “A warm bed –approximately 20 to 24 degrees Celsuis –is 【7】 good way to start this process while a cold bed isn’t. It helps people sleep well especially as it’s taking much 【8】 (long) for them to warm up when they come in from the snow.”

Dr Chris Idzikowski and 【9】 (he) colleague Jane Bednall said the idea was like “having a giant hot water bottle in your bed”. The five-minute free bed warming sessions will be tried out in London and Manchester 【10】 the end of next month.

The Internet is playing an important part in your daily life. On the net, we can learn about news both home and abroad and some other informations as well. We can also make phone calls, send messages by e--mails, going to net schools, and learn foreign languages by ourselves. Beside, we can enjoy listen to music, watch sports matches, and play the chess or cards. The net even help us do shopping, have a chat with others and make friend with them. In a word, the Internet has made our life more easier.

The telescope has a huge round reflector, which measures 500 meters across and has a perimeter（周长）of 1.6 kilometers. Because of its great size, it would have been both difficult and inefficient to get FAST to move like a regular telescope. Instead, FAST’s designers came up with a great solution: its surface is made up of 4450 panels which can be individually adjusted. This clever design feature allows scientists to detect radio signals from any angle with a great degree of accuracy. “Panels can change their positions through connected wires and parallel （关联的） robots. We can control their position with an accuracy of 1 mm,” Zheng Yuanpeng, chief engineer of the telescope’s panel project, told Xinhua News Agency.

FAST’s engineers also had the task of finding a suitable location. As any interference would affect its ability to detect distant radio waves, it needed to be built in a remote area. Luckily, the perfect spot was found in the beautiful mountains of Guizhou Province. “There are three hills about 500 meters away from one another, creating a valley that is perfect to support the telescope," Sun Caihong, chief engineer of FAST’ s construction, told Xinhua.

And although it wasn’t yet fully operated, FAST had already made great discoveries by October 2017. Since 1967, only around 2000 pulsars （脉冲星） have been discovered, yet FAST had detected six more by October 2017. Once FAST is fully up and running, we may finally have the answer to one of the biggest questions in history.

【1】What is the purpose of mentioning the question in Paragraph 1?

A.To introduce the new giant telescope.

B.To explain why there is life in universe.

C.To remind readers to think about the life in space.

D.To emphasize the question that should be answered.

【2】What can we know from Paragraph 2?

A.The telescope is made up of many panels.

B.The area of FAST is about 800 square kilometers.

C.The engineer can handle FAST’s position accurately.

D.The individual panel helps scientists catch radio signals.

【3】Why was FAST built in Guizhou?

A.Because Guizhou is a remote province.

B.Because Guizhou has an ideal valley.

C.Because Guizhou has beautiful mountains.

D.Because Guizhou has the ability to build it.

【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A.FAST’s timeline.B.FAST’s future.

C.FAST’s operation.D.FAST’s discoveries.
