Joseph Lemasolai wrote a book about his life. His people, The Maasai, are nomads, meaning they do not stay in one place for long. They move their villages in search of good grass and fresh water for their cattle. 39The cow is the centerpiece of pretty much everything we do,” Joseph explains. “ That’s why we move. We could not be nomads without cattle. You can’t move for nothing- you can’t just walk around!”

When he was very young, 40Joseph spent much of his time looking after his family’s cattle, taking them to food and water and watching out for lions. He played on the grassland with his friends.

When Joseph was about six years old, he left his family to attend a boarding school. There, Joseph faced difficulties much like other children do. He was laughed at because he was fat. He got into trouble daily with his teachers.

But Joseph also faced difficulty most children do not. 41“Every time school closed for vacation, I had to find my way home,” Joseph says. “That was ones of the hardest things: The village might be 5 miles away, or it might be 50. Sometimes I wouldn’t know exactly where my family was. I had to search for them.”

Joseph later attended high school in a city. After graduation, he went to college. Finally, he became a social studies teacher, and now he is teaching seventh graders at a school.

 Every summer, Joseph travels back to the grassland to visit his mother, brothers, and friends. 42And he takes a group of students with him to see both the beauty and the difficulty of growing up in the part of the country. “ I like to show them the other side of the coin,” Joseph says.

Passage Three

Clay is important because it is used to make containers of all kinds. 43Workers add water to soften clay. This makes it easier to form into shapes by hand or by machine. Then it is heated to a very high temperature. The result is a container that will last for many years.

In many countries, clay was formed from volcanoes.44 This kind of clay usually contains many minerals. So the fires to make containers from volcanic clay must be hotter than those used for non-volcanic clay. The fires may be as hot as1400, The high temperature should not be reached too fast so that the containers can be dried slowly

You can add some materials to clay to gain desired results. For example, 45 you can add sand to prevent tiny breaks or lines from forming on the surface of the final product. But you should not use sand from the coasts of oceans, Instead, you should use from rivers or other areas.

46Clay often exists in fields covered with some water. The clay will be found about one meter below the ground. River banks often also have clay about one meter or less under the surface. Clay is very shiny when it is wet. You can also take some of the material and add enough water to it. Then press it in your hands until it is about the size of an egg. It is probably clay if it holds together when you stop pressing

A43. What do workers do with clay to make it into different shapes?

A. Soften it by putting water into it

B. Heat it to a very high temperature

C. Harden its surface by pressing it

D. Add some materials into it.

D44. What’s the difference between volcanic clay and non-volcanic clay?

A. Volcanic clay can be found in very few countries.

B. Non-volcanic clay can be dried more quickly.

C. Non-volcanic clay makes better containers

D. Volcanic clay usually has more minerals

A45. In making containers sand is added to clay ________.

A. to produce containers free from tiny breaks

B. to make desired lines on the surface

C. to make it easier to shape

D. to get special patterns

C46.Clay can often be found ________.

四)附加练习题

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it is painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (
对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.

Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get with a leisurely yawl and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble some search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. When ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
