We use alarm clocks every day in order to make sure we wake up on time. Alarm clocks used to be a simple product that shows the time and rings when set. Here we put together a list of cool alarm clocks which not only wake you up but also make you work for them.

Here is an alarm clock that requires some effort to turn it off. You must throw the hand grenade alarm clock away like a true grenade in order to stop the madness. This could truly be what people want when waking up tired. The only problem is…it won’t get you out of bed.

You want something that will make sure to get you out of bed? A carpet alarm clock will do. It will continue to ring until you step on it with your own two feet. Well, if you have kids, you could always scream at them to come into your bedroom and step on it for you…but that would seem a little more difficult.

This must be the best and cruelest way to get exercise…to battle with your alarm clock. It is a great and cool alarm clock that requires you to pick up the dumbbells in order to turn the ringing off and get back to sleep.

You may be a person that could easily get out of bed if you had the right kind of sounds, music or words. And this is what this MP3 alarm clock hopes to do by allowing you to set the rings with your favorite sounds. For some people it may be birds’ sweet sounds.

44.What is the new function(功能) of the alarm clocks?

A. They can tell us time.　　　　　　 　　　　 B. They can ring loudly when set.

C. They can make us work for them.　 　　　 D. They wake us up on time.

45. If you are a music lover, which is the best choice according to the passage?

A.A hand grenade alarm clock.　　 　　　　　　 B. A carpet alarm clock.

C.A dumbbells alarm clock.　　 　　　　　　　　 D. An MP3 alarm clock.

46. What does the underlined sentence “but that would seem a little more difficult” mean?

A. Kids can wake up more easily than their parents.

B. It’s easy to ask kids to do something for you.

C. Kids hate to step on the carpet alarm clock.

D. It may be more difficult to wake kids up.

We all know the dangers of fires. It’s good and necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.

Put a smoke alarm(火警) in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape(逃脫) plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
Buy fire extinguishers(滅火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.
Practise for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:
★    Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
★    Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.
★    What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket(毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.
There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don’t forget to call 119 for help.

Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine, too. We can’t look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our bodies: the biological clock.

Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6:00 am. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s legs and back started to hurt. She did some exercises before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran slower, but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said, “Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day. That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercises after work.” Her legs and back don’t hurt anymore.

Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology (時間生物學), the study of biology clocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep at the same time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illness, such as heart attacks(心臟病), occur(發(fā)生)most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication may be at night. When patients take heart medicine at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning.

Many doctors believe chronobiology can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors!

35. Do we all have a biological clock inside our bodies?

36 How far did Barbara Wells run every morning?

37. How did Barbara’ legs and back get well?

38. What is the right time for a heart attack person to take heart medicine?

39. What can we learn from the passage?
