Chalk used in school classrooms comes in thin sticks. Lessons are often presented to entire classes on chalkboards (or blackboards, as they were originally called) using sticks of chalk. 1.

As found in nature, chalk has been used for drawing since prehistoric times. And it helped to create some of the earliest cave drawings. Later, artists of different countries and styles used chalk mainly for sketches(素描),and some such drawings have survived. 2.The method was to grind(碾碎)natural chalk to a fine powder, then add water, clay, and various dry colors. It was then rolled into stick shape and dried.

3. Class sizes began to increase at that time. Therefore, teachers needed a convenient way of conveying information to many students at one time. Not only did instructors use large blackboards, but students also worked with personal chalkboards, completing with chalk sticks and a sponge or cloth to use as an eraser. These small chalkboards were used for practice, especially among the younger students.

An important change in the nature of classroom chalk brought was in chalkboards. Blackboards used to be black, because they were made from true slate(石板).While some experts advocated a change to yellow chalkboards and dark blue or purple chalk to copy writing on paper, when makers began to shape chalkboards from synthetic(合成的)materials during the 20th century, they chose the color green, arguing that it was easier on the eyes. 4.

Almost all chalk produced today is dustless. Earlier, softer chalk tended to produce a cloud of dust that some feared might contribute to breathing problems.5. It's just that the dust settles faster.

A. Dustless chalk still produces dust.

B. Yellow became the preferred color for chalk.

C. Paper made only from rags at this time was expensive.

D. That's because this method has been proven cheap and easy.

E. Chalk was first formed into sticks for the convenience of artists.

F. Baking chalk longer to harden it more helps to produce less dust.

G. Chalk didn't become standard in schoolrooms until the 19th century.

RIDING in school buses in the early morning，then sitting in poorly lit classrooms，are the main reasons students have trouble getting to sleep at night，according to new research．

Teenagers，like everyone else，need bright light in the morning to allow their circadian rhythms(生理节奏)to get into step with nature's cycles of day and night．

If they don't get blue 1ight in the morning，they get to sleep an average of six minutes later at night，until their bodies are completely out of sync(同步) with the school day，researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York said last month．

The finding was made by fitting goggles(护目镜)that block blue light from the sun to a group of students．The researchers discovered that their circadian rhythms were greatly affected．

Parents and teachers have been complaining in recent years that teens stay up too late at night，then fall asleep in class the next morning and do poorly in school．The new findings provide a possible explanation for the problem．

At the root of the research is the circadian rhythm, the body's natural sleep and waking cycle．Even though the Earth makes a full rotation(旋转)in 24 hours，the body's circadian cycle is about 24 hours and six minutes 1ong．The cycle is mediated(调节)by a chemical called melatonin(褪黑激素)．The body starts to produce it about two hours before it is time to sleep and, in the absence of blue 1ight，the body produces about six minutes later each day.

In the study, the researchers studied 11 students at Smith Middle School in New York, which was designed so that a lot of sunlight  reaches classrooms．

On a Friday night，the researchers measured what time the 11 students’ bodies began releasing melatonin．On Monday morning，the students were sent to school with orange goggles that blocked most blue light from their eyes to mimic(模拟) the conditions found in many---if not most--schools．

By the end of the week，the students were releasing melatonin 30 minutes 1ater in the evening---an average of six minutes a day--and going to sleep correspondingly(相应的) later．

“This is our first field study，”said lead author Mariana G．Figueiro．He said they would like to repeat it in larger studies and for longer periods of time。

If the findings are repeated，a variety of solutions are available．Ideally, new schools would be built to allow more natural sunlight into the classrooms．Students could also be exposed to more sunlight outside．

68. According to the findings related in this article, many teenagers stay up late because_______

A. they lack melatonin in their bodies

B. they have to get up so early to catch the school bus

C. their circadian rhythms are in disorder

D. they do not get enough blue light in the morning

69. According to the findings, a student who normally slept at 10:00 pm, but who spent 10 days in a poorly lit classroom, would probably be falling asleep at___________after the period.

A. 12:00pm   B. 11:30pm   C. 11:00pm   D. 10:00pm

70. What does the article tell us?

A. Unlike adults, teenagers tend to feel sleepy during daytime.

B. The sunlight is the only thing that can affect our circadian rhythms.

C. If the findings prove correct, solutions could be found to teen sleeping problems.

D. Most schools have small windows and the classrooms are poorly lit.

71. The main point of the article is to___________

A. warn teenagers not to stay up late or sleep in class

B. report on some new findings related to teenagers' sleeping problems

C. give suggestions on how to build schools

D. advertise goggles which can protect the eyes from the sun

Teachers in some secondary schools in Britain are worried that their job may become impossible shortly unless something can be done to restore discipline in the classrooms. In the problem schools, mostly in large cities, a small minority of teenage pupils disturb lesson to such an extent that the teacher can no longer teach their classes effectively.

Some people consider that the permissive (随意) nature of modern society is responsible for such kind of behavior. Small children who are continuously encouraged to express themselves without reservation are naturally unwilling to accept school discipline when they grow older. Furthermore, modern teaching techniques) which appear to stress personal enjoyment at the expense of serious study work, might be teaching the child to put his own interests before his duties to the community in which he lives.

Perhaps the problem can be solved by improving facilities for the moral guidance of these difficult children or by better cooperation between the schools and the parents—for the parents may be mainly responsible for the bad behavior of their youngsters. Violence at home, violence and crime on TV make some children turn violence themselves.

But some of the teachers believe that there ought to be a return to more “old fashioned” methods. At present, in some school teachers are even not allowed to punish a child who does something bad and wrong. Physical punishment is not permitted now. People are too soft on children these days. It seems that children can do whatever they like at school while the teachers can’t do anything to punish them. I don’t know why the schools authority abandoned some of the effective punishments that worked well. Things like that didn’t happen when we were at school because the teachers kept those problem students under control by using a stick.

1.According to the writer, modem teaching techniques ________.

A. inspire pupils to spend much time on serious learning

B. do not give pupils any moral lessons

C. advocate pupils playing a lot instead of learning

D. could teach children to put his own interests before his duties

2.The letter Writer seems to be convinced of ________ to restore discipline at school.　　 ,

A. removing more “old fashioned” methods

B. physical punishment

C. improving facilities for the moral guidance

D. cooperation between the schools and the parents

3.The best title for this passage might be ________.

A. Our Schools Today

B. Who is to blame

C. Rebuild Order in School.

D. Dealing with Problem Children at School

Children moving from primary to secondary school are ill-equipped to deal with the impact of social media, as it is playing an increasingly important role in their lives and exposing them to significant emotional risk, according to a recent report by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner for England.

The report shows that many children in year 7 -- the first year of secondary school, when almost all students will have a phone and be active on social media -- feel under pressure to be constantly connected.

They worry about their online image, particularly when they start to follow celebrities on Instagram and other platforms. They are also concerned about “sharenting” -- when parents post pictures of them on social media without their permission – and worry that their parents won’t listen if they ask them to take pictures down.

The report, which was created with data from focus group interviews with 8 to 12-year-olds, says that although most social media sites have an official age limit of 13, an estimated 75 percent of 10 to 12-year-olds have a social media account.

Some children are almost addicted to “likes”, the report says. Aaron, an 11-year-old in year 7, told researchers, “If I got 150 likes, I’d be like, that’s pretty cool, it means they like you.” Some children described feeling inferior(差的) to those they follow on social media. Aimee, also 11, said, “You might compare yourself because you’re not very pretty compared to them.”

Children’s Commissioner for England Anne Longfield is calling on parents and teachers to do more to prepare children for the emotional impact of social media as they get older. She wants to see the introduction of compulsory digital literacy and online resilience (适应力) lessons for students in year 6 and 7.

“It is also clear that social media companies are still not doing enough to stop under-13s using their platforms in the first place,” Longfield said.

“Just because a child has learned the safety messages at primary school does not mean they are prepared for all the challenges that social media will present,” Longfield said.

“It means a bigger role for schools in making sure children are prepared for the emotional demands of social media. And it means social media companies need to take more responsibility,” Longfield said.

1.What does this text mainly tell us?

A. Children are not entirely able to handle the impact of social media.

B. Social media occupies too much time for secondary school freshmen.

C. Many secondary school freshmen suffer from social media-related stress.

D. An increasing number of children in year 7 are being exposed to social media.

2.Some students in year 7 are concerned _____________ .

A. about becoming addicted to social media

B. about how they are seen on social media sites

C. that their parents won’t allow them to post pictures

D. that their parents will monitor their use of social media

3.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?

A. their followers　　 B. children of the same age

C. their parents　　 D. celebrities they follow

4.Anne Longfield suggests that ______.

A. parents monitor how their children use social media

B. social media companies set an official age limit of 13

C. schools help equip students for the challenges of social media

D. social media companies create special sites for children under 13
