The workers had a special vacuum that sucked (吸) the bees into a box. It took two boxes to hold all the bees.Later we learned that there had been about 80,000 bees in our garage wall!

Since people spend almost one-third of their life sleeping, the bed is also very important.The first bed was nothing more than a pile (堆) of leaves. Then came a stone or wooden bench with an animal skin for the cover. During the middle Ages, benches were given up for frames with thick pads(软垫).During the sixteenth century, a big bed called the Great Bed of Ware was built in England. It was ten feet by eleven feet and big enough for a large family to sleep together. Even more interesting was a French man who had a protable bedroom made for himself. The room contained a chair, a table, and a bed, and it was carried by 24 servants. He was able to go all over the city without leaving his room and work while sitting in bed.Today, beds come in every size, shape, and design. There are round beds, motorized beds, water beds, and many ordinary beds. The bed maybe the most popular, most used, and most important of all inventions. It is also probably the one most taken for granted(议为是理所应当的).( ) 46. The first bed was _______.A. a stoneB. a wooden benchC. a frame with padsD. a pile of leaves( ) 47.

Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves," In other words, only we ourselves can make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy .the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret of living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies which can help you forget your problems. Many people experience this in dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her study, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help your mum out around the house by washing the dishes.( ) 41. The second paragraph mainly tells us that______.A. we shouldn't think about our futureB. the more friends you have, the happier you will beC. some people fail to live a happy lifeD. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life ( ) 42.
