New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback. The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed, but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact , they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole United States.
The cost of shoing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.
A blacksmith’s job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horse’s foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse’s leg while he works. Clearly, a blacksmith must be very storng. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses---for before the blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg.
One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it, and,as the puts it, “It’s a good way to make a living.”

During the day, you spend a lot of time running, jumping, laughing, eating, and talking. You use up a lot of energy(能量) , and by the end of the day you’re tired. Sleep gives your body a chance to rest.
But your brain (大脑)and body are not completely at rest during sleep. While you sleep, your mind may think of the things that happened during the day. It keeps the important things in mind as memories(记忆). It also thinks about things you were worrying about, and you may wake up with answers to some of your problems.
You also grow while you sleep. The thing called "human growth hormone (荷尔蒙)" in the body helps you grow during sleep. This growth hormone also helps the body to repair itself.
Sleep helps your body to conserve energy too. You use up a lot of energy during your daily activities. But when you sleep, your body temperature falls, and your "metabolism" (新陈代谢) slows down. You are still using some energy, but much less than when you are awake and active.
Have you ever stayed up past your bedtime? Did you have difficulty getting up the next morning? Maybe you had problems seeing clearly or you cannot think clearly. That was your body’s way of saying, "I need sleep!" A lack ( 缺乏) of sleep can stop your body and mind from working correctly.
小题1:What does "human growth hormone" do while people sleep?
A.It helps people rest well. | B.It helps repair the body. |
C.It helps answer problems. | D.It helps slow the body down. |
A.You use up a lot of energy. | B.You enjoy daily activities. |
C.Your body temperature falls. | D.You don’t want to get up. |
A.provide | B.move | C.save | D.spend |
A.Sleep is very important. | B.The brain needs enough sleep. |
C.Good ways to sleep well. | D.People use energy when sleeping |

Fujian Tulou is a special type of Chinese building. People built most of them between the 12th and the 20th century. The oldest one has a history of more than 1,000 years.
Tulou is usually a large rectangular(长方形的)or round building with high walls. The walls are made of earth, stones, bamboo and wood, so they are thick and strong. They can not only keep the building safe from the wind and earthquake, but also make it warm in winter and cool in summer. There is usually only one main gate in each Tulou and up to (至多)80 families can live in it. It is like a small city.
UNESCO(联合国教科文组织)chose a total of 46 Fujian Tulou as a World Heritage Site(世界文化遗产)in 2008. Fujian Tulou set a good example for the world. Man can live in harmony(和谐,融洽)with the environment.
