When the coach started pitching, hitting became 1 for me. I missed every single pitch. From the side, I heard my teammate Emily laughing at me. My face got hot and my throat felt like it had a softball stuck in. At that moment, I was starting to 2 playing softball.The next afternoon, when Mum said it was time to play the game, I told her I was 3 . She allowed me to lie down for a while. So I went to my room and 4 myself in bed. This was difficult for me because I was fine.Soon Mum came in and said, "Time to go!" She didn't even ask if I felt 5 . I imagined Emily laughing from the sideline, and 6 I really did feel sick to my stomach. I began crying loudly. Still, Mum pulled my team T-shirt over my head. She said, "You have to play for the rest of the season, and only after that we can talk about 7 you′ll continue next year." She added that practice was what I needed, not giving up. She promised to practice with me.I got two hits that afternoon, and Emily didn't make a 8 . Every week after that, I practiced at home 9 I got to be one of the best hitters on the team.That 10 taught me being afraid is part of life, and I can do whatever is expected of me if I keep working and practicing.( )1.

But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you!Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a t ree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger, they just fly away.A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe.Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducksin the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed.Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep underwater helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface.Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they don’t fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing.A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg locks so it stays straight. The other leg remains close to the flamingo’s body. Its head rests on its back. A flamingo lives (and sleeps) near many other birds to stay safe.Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air. They fly for many hours without flapping（拍打）their wings. Sometimes they sleep while they are flying.Would you like to sleep how they sleep?1. The animals that sleep with half their brains are _______.A. ducks and sealsB. dolphins and ducksC. bats and dolphinsD. flamingos and seabirds2. Horses often stand up when they sleep because _______.A. they can run from danger quicklyB. they are afraid of falling overC. this helps them to sleep deeplyD. it takes them a long time to go to sleep3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How animals sleepB. Sleep to stay healthyC. Sleep as animals doD. What sleeping animals are likeBLizzie's diary from Antarctica(南极洲)Day 3:Tuesday December 2We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We'd be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth，sometimes you can't fly at all.We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we'd be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air，there was still a chance we wouldn't be able to fly the whole day.Day 4:Wednesday December 3After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.We're staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around.
