In Britain, people usually begin their talks with weather. For example, they will say“It’s a fine day, isn’t it?”“Do you think it will rain?”

Many people believe that they are able to tell what the weather will be like. But they never agree with each other. One man may say, “How cloudy (阴的) it is now! It’s going to rain.” Another man will say, “No, it’s going to be fine later.”

People always hope the weather they want. For example, when a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it’s going to rain. When a man wants to travel, he is sure the weather will be fine quickly.

Now almost everyone listens to the weather report. It doesn’t always tell us the weather we want, it only tells us what the weather will be like. But sometimes it makes mistakes(错误). 根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

This is an old English saying (谚语). It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.

Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you go to bed late, you can’t have enough sleep. Then you can’t think carefully and your homework will be wrong. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!

Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We should sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us sleep well. When the daylight comes, we should get up. This is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak. Exercise keeps it strong.

Exercise helps the blood (血液) to move around inside the body. Blood takes nutrition (营养) to all parts of our bodies. The brains (大脑) in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!

Our bodies also need air to breathe (呼吸). Without air we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean, fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy. 根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

( )46. The old English saying tells us _______. A. how to make more money B. when we should get up C. it is important to go to bed and get up early D. to stay up late

( )47. A child needs at least _______ hours’ sleep every night. A. 7 B. 8 C. 9 D. 10 ( )48. If you want to make your body strong, you should _______.

Which of the following statements is Not true? A. Enough sleep makes you think carefully. B. The more sleep you have, the cleverer you are. C. Dark is good for sleeping. D.
