1、阅读下面短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。
So, exam time is around the corner. Have you done the necessary work to get good marks? 1. Sleeping with the textbook under the pillow (枕头) doesn’t work. Knowledge won’t come into your brain magically when you sleep. The best way is to space your practice out, rather than fill it all together. 2.不要只是依靠你的记忆力. You can start by reading a textbook with your favourite pens and colors, and then write down the important ideas on small cards. While doing so, you actually try to test yourselves on these small cards.
Good reviews will give you confidence. 3. But if you are still worried, it’s not harmful to follow some special customs. In China, When the kid takes the big exam, mum will always wear a Qipao. Qi means “flag”. It’s the first character in an idiom (成语) that means “to win victory upon raising the flag”, and which has been suitable to wish students sweeping success on their exams.
In Japan, 4.对学生们而言,在考试前吃一种特别的安慰食物似乎是一种传统. The comfort food is made up of a bowl of egg and pork pieces named Katsudon. The name of the dish makes people think of the word “katsu”, meaning “winning”. 5. For some students in South Korea, the key to success is not washing their hair before an exam because they believe they could wash all the knowledge out of their heads. And in different parts of the world, there are always those who believe in their “lucky numbers”.
The bottom line is that you need to study, eat a good meal, sleep well on the eve of the test, and believe that your efforts will pay off.

24、阅读下面短文,从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A soap opera called “Tiger Mother and Cat Father” is popular in China now. The tiger mother (acted by Zhao Wei) is pretty strict with her daughter and the little girl is not allowed to watch TV or play computer games. On the other hand, she makes all efforts to buy the expensive house near the key school in order to let her daughter have better education. However, the cat father (acted by Tong Dawei) has an opposite view of how to raise their child. He gives her daughter more independence and doesn’t make many rules for her. “Tiger Mother” “Cat Father”, which one is better? This not only causes argument on the TV show, but also brings a hot discussion around China.
In China, it seems in each family, there is a tiger mother and a cat father, even worth, some families have two tigers. Children can’t decide anything for themselves. Three questions are mostly asked by Chinese parents: Is homework done? Why come home so late? Go out with whom, boy or girl? The questions seem to care about their children, but usually make the gap (鸿沟) deeper. What’s worse, Chinese mothers believe “key school” will bring a better future to their children. So Chinese children are under too much pressure. This soap opera fully shows us a common problem in China. And maybe it is the real reason why such kind of TV shows can get popular.
Whether the tiger mother or cat father, respecting (尊重) for children and growing together are the keys to family education.

25、Characters:
"I"﹣Storyteller Bertie﹣storyteller's husband The White Prince﹣a lion…
We never had children of our own﹣just The White Prince﹣and I can tell you, he was enough of a family for anyone. He walked freely in the park just as we had planned he would, and ran after the deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it; but be never did learn how to kill for himself. You can't teach old lions new tricks. He lived on deer mostly, and slept on a sofa in our living room﹣I wouldn't have him inside our bedroom, no matter(无论) how often Bertie asked. You know, I have to draw the line somewhere.
Bertie's leg was never cured. When it was bad, he often needed a stick, or me, or the lion to lean on. It pained him a lot, especially on cold and wet days, and he never slept well. On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together, and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood Hill with his arm around the lion's neck and I would fly kites. You know, I've always loved kites. And the lion liked to break them into pieces.
The lion never showed any interest in running away, and even if he'd wanted to, the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over. Wherever. Bertie went, he wanted to go too. And if ever Bertie went out in the car, then he'd sit by me in the kitchen, and watch me with those great amber eyes, listening all the while for the sound of Bertie's car coming up the path to the front of the house.
The lion was getting older. And he became weak in his legs and could see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie's feet. When he died, we buried(埋葬) him at the bottom of the hill. Bertie's wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window. I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case(以防) he forgot where the lion was. "I will, but he should get more than a tree." Bertie said.
Bertie was sad for weeks, months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him. He would sit for hours in his room, or go off on long walks by himself. He seemed so shut away inside himself, so distant(遥远的). Try as I did. I could not reach him.

26、Two men, Alan and Henry, both seriously ill, shared a hospital room. Alan was allowed to sit up in his bed and his bed was next to the room’s only window. Henry had to spend all his time sleeping on his back.
The men talked for hours, of their wives/families, their homes and their jobs. And (every afternoon when Alan, in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers. Trees and skyline could be seen in the distance. As he described all this, Henry, on the other side of the room, would close his eyes and imagine the scene.
One warm afternoon Alan described a parade (游行) passing by. Although Henry could not hear the band,he could see it in his mind. Unexpectedly, an alien thought entered his head: Why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never got to see anything? It doesn’t seem fair. Henry felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sight, his envy grew and soon let him down. He began to find himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window—and that thought now controlled his life.
Late one night, as He lay staring at the ceiling, Alan began to cough. He was choking (窒息)Henry watched in the dark room as the struggling man tried hard to reach the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence—deathly silence.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, Henry asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the change and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he struggled to take his first look. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He looked out, but faced a black wall.
