Lights out
Saving magazines
Are you careful about saving electricity? 25% of people turn off the lights when they leave a room. 8% never do. 80% leave the lights on when they go out in the evening.
How long do you save magazines? About half the population throws away old ones after six months. But 20% keep them for years and years.
Clean and tidy
Making beds and doing dishes
Are you an organized person? 13% of people like to keep the rooms clean and tidy.
The common home has fourteen cleaning products around the house.
74% of people make their beds every morning. 5% never do. And 3% actually change their sheets（床单）every day.
Do you wash the dishes right after eating? 58% of Americans do, but 5% let theirs sit for several days.

27. 80% of Americans go out in the evening with the lights on.

Many people think the dinosaurs（恐龙）were the biggest animals that ever lived. They are wrong. The world’s biggest animal is still living and it lives in the ocean. It is called the blue whale（鲸鱼）. Blue whales can be as long as 30 meters and weigh as much as 1,000 kilos. The largest dinosaurs weighed only 500 kilos.
The whale is not only the world’s biggest animal, it is also one of the smartest. We know that whales can communicate with each other, although we do not know what they are saying. Perhaps one day we will learn how to communicate with whales, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.
Although they live in the ocean, whales don’t lay eggs like fish do. They are mammals（哺乳动物）. They give birth to babies and produce mike inside their own bodies to feed them. Humans are also mammals.
There are lots of stories about whales, but perhaps the most famous story is Moby Dick, which was written by an American writer named Herman Melville. In this book, a sailor named Captain Ahab spends a lot of time trying to find and kill an enormous white whale named Moby Dick.
Sadly, there are not many kinds of whales left. People have killed them for food and other things for thousands of years. However, there are now laws（法律）to stop people killing most kinds of whales. So perhaps there will be more of them in years to come.
31. Which picture shows the correct size of the largest whale?

32. Whales can _______.
A. tell us about themselves B. lay eggs
C. communicate with each other D. live on land
33. Moby Dick is ________.
A. a story written by Herman Melville B. a sailor
C. the name of a blue whale D. a famous dinosaur
34. There are not many kinds of whales left because _________.
A. they don’t lay eggs B. people have killed them
C. they live in the ocean D. there are laws against them
35. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the world’s biggest animal B. lots of stories about whales
C. laws to stop people killing whales D. the differences between dinosaurs and whales
C
Some people can never be forgotten. That’s because their names become common words. As many as 50,000 words in the English language get their meaning from people’s name. Some are real people, others are characters in books or stories.
Often a new dish is given the name of its inventor. The Chinese dish Gongbao chicken was created in Sichuan Province by Ding Baozhen. He served the hot dish when he was governor（总管）of the province from 1876 to 1886. After Ding died, people named the dish for him.
The fisherman willem Beukelz began to pickle（腌制）fish in the 14th century. His method of pickling fish was widely used, but people didn’t pronounce his name ”Beukelz” correctly. Soon “pickles” became popular in many countries.

On their farm near Sydney, they grew apple trees. Their special kind of apple became known in Australia as a Granny Smith.
More than just foods take people’s names. Many people enjoy riding on a Ferris wheel, named for engineer George W.G. Ferris. He designed the first one for Chicago’s World Columbian Exposition in 1893.

People love proverbs. They are always impressed because the proverbs express a lot of information in just a few words. A good proverb quickly sums up（概括）ideas that are sometimes hard to express. And the person can understand it at once.
Proverbs come from two main places---ordinary people and famous people. These two sources（来源）are not always distinct（明显的）. Common and popular proverbs are often used by famous people. And the common people often borrow something that is said or written down by a well-known person. For example, “Bad news travels fast” probably comes from the experience of housewives. However, “All’s well that ends well” was written by the famous writer---William Shakespeare.
Proverbs are used everywhere in the world. If you can understand a culture’s proverbs, you can better understand the culture itself. There are many different ways that we use proverbs in our life. Here are some examples.

When we think of heroes, we often think of strong, brave people. But anyone can be a hero. A hero is someone who helps another person in the face of difficulties or in danger. Fred Hollows was such a person.
Fred Hollows was born in Zealand and became an eye doctor. He believed that all people, rich and poor, should have good medical treatment. After he began working as an eye doctor in Australia, he learned that many Aboriginal（土著的）Australians had eye disease because of dirty environment and bad health. He set up a program to help people take care of their eyes. Because of his work, many Aboriginal people could see again and fewer Aboriginal people became blind.
Later, Fred Hollows learned blindness was also a big problem in Africa. Many people in Africa needed small eye surgeries（外科手术）to cure（治愈）their blindness. The cost of this surgery was only twenty-five dollars. But that is a lot
