Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother’s Camp（营地）. There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone.
At Mother’s Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask,“Mom, what’s for dinner?” No husband will say, “Oh, dear, I can’t find any clean socks.”In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job-taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.

No one doubts that students should study languages, maths and science in high school, but some may object to the idea that they should study art and music as well. To them, these subjects are useless for students’ future and are not worth the time and effort. In my opinion, however, it is necessary for middle school students to study art and music.
Art and music are a precious culture legacy（遗产）, which bring us pleasure and enjoyment. Have you ever been deeply moved by Beethoven’s famous Fifth Symphony（第五交响曲）? Have you ever been fascinated by the colorful starry night produced by Vincent Van Gogh in his paint? Have you ever longed for the moving love between the Butterfly Lovers when you hear this well-known Chinese melody（曲调）? Art and music are not only images and sounds, but something beyond them. They are the products of passion and human wisdom（智慧）.
Art and music help make students more creative. Artists and musicians are considered the most creative people in the world. It is because art and music sharpen their senses and provide a different perspective (视角) for them to see the world. Many great scientists benefited from art and music. Einstein, the greatest physicist in the 20th century, as well as an excellent violin player, is a good example.
Enjoying art and music is also a good way to relax. Middle school students, who typically carry heavy burdens of study, will definitely（明确地）benefit from it.
To sum up, art and music should absolutely be included in the middle school courses, for they can bring students pleasure and relaxation.
1.According to the author, people who think art and music are useless for middle school students __________.
A. don’t understand the value of art and music
B. don’t know the history of art and music at all
C. never benefit from artists and musicians
D. know little about the trend of future education
2.In paragraph 2, the author tries to argue that __________.
A. Beethoven is one of the greatest musicians
B. art and music help express people’s emotions
C. art and music are precious pictures and sounds
D. art and music bring people joy and quality life
3.The example of Einstein is used to __________.
A. show the importance of creativity
B. prove that scientists are creative
C. encourage students to study art and music
D. provide students with a new way to see the world
4.Which of the following is an effective way for middle school students to study?
A. Relaxing themselves regularly while studying.
B. Attending concerts during holidays or after school.
C. Avoiding too much homework by studying art and music.
D. Listening to music while studying language, maths or other subjects.
5.Which of the following is used to support the writer’s opinion?
A. Art and music help people become scientists.
B. Art and music provide people with more opportunities.
C. Art and music are beneficial to students in other subjects.
D. Art and music are helpful to make students creative learners.

There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects.

The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules.

阅读下面的短文，然后以约 30 个词概括故事的主要内容。
Who says honesty is dead? Last Tuesday morning Alan Reed, a student, was at the bank. He asked to take out $ 50 but the bank clerk mistakenly gave him five twenties instead of five tens. For a few seconds he wondered what to do. Should he give the extra money back? Keep it? If he kept it, he could buy several new books, or he could take his friend Alice to a fancy dinner. Probably no one would ever notice. Besides, this would make up for all the times he’d been overcharged. But then he looked at the clerk. She was a middle-aged woman with a sweet face, and she reminded him of his mother. She had been nice to him, and she looked pressured in her work. Then it occurred to him that the lady would probably get in trouble. Worst of all, Alan felt, he would probably feel guilty about keeping the extra cash. So Alan gave back the money.
The bank clerk was so impressed that someone was honest enough to return money not rightfully his that she contacted the newspaper. So there you have it. What would you have done if you’d been in Alan’s position?
