4、rosper”, a nod to the space-based film Star Trek（星际迷航）.Cassandra and Jesse had no idea who the anonymous note writer was.

5、（魔杖）. “She assumed wed understand her message,” Cassandra said. “Which we did.”The following night Cassandra and Jesse went out to dinner with a friend who was going overseas with the military.

10、am would not be able to explain what the name of their city means. The name of every British town or city, however, has a long history.Two thousand years ago, most people living in Britain were Celts. Even the word “Britain” is Celtic（凯尔特语）. Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became citie

11、s called “castra”.This is why there are so many place names in England which end in “-chester” or “-caster”, Manchester, for example.The Romans never reached Wales or Scotland, and many place names there are Celtic. For example, Welsh place names that begin with “Llan” come from the Celtic word for

12、“church”.After the Romans left Britain, it was attacked by the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that is now Germany and Holland. The names of their villages often end in “- ham” or “- ton”. Some get their names from the leader of the village. Birmingham for example, means “Beormunds vil

13、lage”The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them, so we have villages called Upton (village on a hill)a good place to build a village and Moreton (“village by a lake”) where floods could make life hard.

18、still no simple answer. But whether youre a morning or evening person could be guided by your genes. That said, your sleeping pattern will change naturally with age, which is also reflected in the National Sleep Foundation recommendations: it suggests 14-17 hours of shuteye a day for newborn babies

19、and only 7-8 hours for over-65s.But scientists said it was about more than simple duration.
