Six annoying “facts” people have to finally stop believing in
1.Walt Disney did not create Mickey Mouse.
His close friend and collaborator Ub Iwerks did, though he was “denied credit” for creating this major piece of pop culture history. Iwerks came up with the character in 1928.
2.Albert Einstein never flunked a math class as a child.
When the adult Einstein was shown a newspaper article claiming he had, he replied, “Before I was 15, I had mastered differential and integral calculus.(微积分)” While Einstein achieved high grades throughout his childhood education, he “hated the strict protocols followed by teachers and rote learning demanded of students” at the schools he attended.
3. Napoleon Bonaparte was not short.
Despite the fact that his name has become synonymous with “angry short man,” Napoleon Bonaparte was actually of average height for the time period in which he lived. His contemporaries described him as being 5'2", but the French measured height differently back in the day, so he was actually around 5'5". That made him just “an inch or so below the period’s average adult male height.”
4. Isaac Newton didn't discover gravity because an apple struck him on the head.
Rather, he witnessed an apple falling and wondered why objects always fall down instead of up or sideways, a thought that inspired his Law of Universal Gravitation.
5. Bats are not blind.
No, bats are not blind. Bats have small eyes with very sensitive vision, which helps them see in conditions we might consider pitch black. They don't have the sharp and colorful vision humans have, but they don't need that.
6. Black holes.
Not really “holes,” but rather hugely dense objects with massive gravitational pull.
1. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Unable to achieve high grades at school, Einstein hated the rigid rules.
B. Bats have small eyes but with the same sharp and colorful vision as humans.
C. Newton discovered gravity out of curiosity but by accident.
D. Black holes are huge objects with massive gravitational push.
2. The text is written here in order to_______________.
A. present some common beliefs.                B. clarify some popular myths.
C. relate some interesting stories.                D. list some historical facts.
3. Which section of a magazine may this text be found in?

We all know that a healthy life means getting both plenty of exercise and enough good-quality sleep, but reality often gets in the way. The new research indicates that doing enough exercise could make up for some of the unhealthy impacts of bad sleep. While the health benefits of exercise and sleep are nothing new, it's the relationship between them that is interesting in this particular study — it could even give doctors another option to suggest for patients dealing with sleep problems.
“We found those who had both the poorest sleep quality and who exercised the least were most at risk of death from heart disease, stroke, and cancer,” says epidemiologist Bo-Huei Huang, from the University of Sydney in Australia.
Participants were grouped into three levels of physical activity (high, medium or low) and were also given a sleep quality score from 0-5 based on the amount of shut-eye they got, how late they stayed up, insomnia, snoring and daytime sleepiness.
Those with the highest risk of dying from cancer or heart disease during the study period were those with the worst quality sleep and who didn't meet the WHO recommended guidelines for exercise. That risk went down for people with poor quality sleep but who did meet the exercise guidelines.
In the case of all forms of cancer, for example, those at the unhealthiest end of the sleep and exercise scale had a 45 percent higher risk of dying from cancer than those with good sleep scores who kept physically active. However, that risk just about disappeared for those who didn't score well on sleep but did score well on physical activity.
For now it's not clear why more exercise might make up for poor sleep, as far as our health goes. It could be that the increased activity is counteracting inflammation（炎症）, or reducing irregularities in glucose metabolism, suggest the researchers.
“Considering that physical activity is perhaps more modifiable than sleep, our study offers people more health incentives to be physically active.” says population health researcher Emmanuel Stamatakis, from the University of Sydney.
4. This research is of particular interest in that ______________. 
A. it’s in this study that exercise is known to be beneficial to sleep.
    B. this study offers people more health treatments to be physical active.
        C. it could enable doctors to cure patients of their sleeping condition.
        D. the relationship between exercise and sleep is updated in this study.
