Easter (复活节) is one of the oldest and most important Christian (基督教的) holidays. Christians celebrate Easter on the Sundaythe first full moon after March 21. They think of Easter Sunday as the day that Jesus (耶稣). Easter Sunday isbetween March 22 and April 25. Before Easter, Christian families decorate eggs with different colours and patterns(图案). On Easter Sunday children wake up to find those eggs , and they will the eggs all around the house. Some organizations also hold Easter-egg hunts (复活节寻蛋活动), and the child who finds the most eggs wins a prize. In England, Germany and some other countries, children roll eggs down hills on Easter morning. They go to the of a large hill with a decorated egg, roll the eggs down the hill, and the last egg to break is the winner.

No one knows why we sleep, but it's certain that we need to. People who are prevented(阻止) from sleeping begin to suffer obvious(明显的) effects after a few days—they think less clearly, and they fall asleep during the working hours.
There are no rules about sleep. Generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about 7 and a half hours each night and probably more than 60 percent get between seven and eight hours. But perhaps eight percent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four percent or so find that they want ten hours or more. If you feel all right, you're probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get—their needs may be different. Exercise doesn't seem to increase the need for sleep—office workers, for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.
Children sleep more than grown-ups—perhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teenage. Sleep patterns also tend (倾向) to be different in the old people, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger, find sleep getting more broken, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.

Do you know Eskimos(爱斯基摩人)? Let me tell you something about their 1 .The Eskimos live near the North Pole (北极). There are only two seasons there: winter and summer. There are no spring 2 autumn there. The winter nights are long. You can't 3 the sun for more than two months, even at noon. The summer days are long. For more than two months, the sun never 4 and there is no night.
Near the North Pole, trees can't grow for it is too cold there. The Eskimos have to make their houses from skins, stones or snow. When they go out in a storm(风暴) and can't get home, they make houses of snow. They leave these snow houses when the storm is over. Life is 5 for the Eskimos, but they still like to live there.

It was very windy when I woke up last Tuesday morning. As soon as I set off for the airport, it began to rain heavily. What a great way to start a holiday!
While I was driving to the airport, the storm got worse. Suddenly, a huge flash of lightning struck a tree. It came straight down just meters in front of my car. The fallen tree completely blocked the road, so I was stuck. I tried to call for help on my mobile, but the line was dead.
I was sure that I'd miss my plane, so I turned on the radio and tried to get used to the idea. Soon there was a loud knock at the window. To my surprise it was a young man in leather clothes, "Need a ride?" he asked. My plane was leaving in an hour so I didn't think twice. I took my bags, climbed carefully onto the motorcycle and shouted, "To the airport please!"
It was my first time on a motorcycle so I was badly frightened. The young man drove so fast that I kept my eyes shut all the way. Suddenly, the motorcycle came to a stop. "Here we are, sir!" he said. I looked at my watch and there were only ten minutes left. I was just in time for my flight. The young man wished me a nice trip, and then quickly drove away.
