Does a person from Ohio or Virginia have a better chance of living in the White House than anyone else? It seems that way. Eight out of 40 U. S. Presidents came from Ohio. Eight came from Virginia. William Henry Harrison, the ninth U. S. President, had the best chance of all. Why? He was born in Virginia and then lived in Ohio.
Here is a map of the United States. You will see that Virginia and Ohio are not too far away from each other. New York, Massachusetts, and California are worth noting(注意), too. They each have sent at least three of their native sons to the White House.
Maps are flat (平的) drawings of Earth or parts of it. The map on the above shows the shapes and sizes of the 50 states. Like most U. S. maps, it abbreviates(縮寫) the names of the states. Use the map to answer the questions below.
1．President Lyndon Johnson came from the largest state on the Gulf of Mexico. He was from ________ .
[ ]
2．President Jimmy Carter is from Georgia. Which state is below Georgia on the map?

We each have a memory (記憶力). That's why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects too.
But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

The state of Florida was once almost gobbled (大吃) up by snails(蝸牛). They were giant(巨大的) snails from Africa. A visitor took some to Florida, where they spread quickly. Some of the snails were as big as a person's hand. They ate the leaves on trees and other plants. They had to be stopped, and they were. Poison killed thousands of the snails, and Florida was saved.
Catching a snail should be easier than catching any other animal. The snail is the slowest of all land animals. Its top speed is 55 yards per hour. At this speed it would take the snail about 32 hours to travel one mile. A snail only goes that fast when it's very hungry.
The bar graph below shows some other top speeds.
A bar graph has bars of different lengths, instead of pictures. This kind of graph makes it easy to compare several things quickly. To read the graph, notice where each bar ends. Then find the closest number at the bottom of the graph.
Use the bar graph about running speeds to answer the questions.
