Last week, some German parents who took their kids out of school early were stopped by the police at the airport. The police were making reports on students who didn't have permission (许可) to miss school.
Like many places, it is against the law to skip (不参加) school in Germany. Children over the age of 9 can't miss classes without permission from the school. But during busy travel time, some parents take their children out of school early to save money on vacations. People can often save a lot of money on flights and hotels by going at a different time than others.
Last weekend was the beginning of an important holiday period in Germany. People in charge of the schools asked the police to check and make sure that students weren't leaving for vacations before they were allowed to.
Police officers at three German airports looked for families with school-aged children. When they found them, the police pulled the families out of lines to talk with them. They wanted to find out if the parents had permission for the children to be out of school. If the children did not have permission, the police reported the families to their schools and to the government. In all, the police reported about 20 families.
These families will have two weeks to show that it was okay for their children to miss school. If they can't, they may have to pay as much as $1,200 as a fine (罚款), or receive some other punishment.
Germany is not the only place where parents have to pay fines if their children miss school. Many other countries and many of the states in the U.S. have similar laws.
The good news is that the families were allowed to go on vacation after they talked to the police. But they might have a big bill waiting for them when they get back.
1.Why do some German parents take their children out of school early during busy travel times?
A.They can spend more time with their children.
B.Their children will study by themselves.
C.They want to save money.
D.Their children can take online courses.
2.In Paragraph 4, police officers at three German airports wanted to ______.
A.find students who skipped school without permission
B.give punishment to the students there
C.take students back to school
D.wait for school managers
3.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Laws on Vacations in Germany B.Give Your Family a Perfect Vacation
C.Don't Skip School in Germany D.Punishment Goes to Families
4.Where does this text probably come from?
A.A newspaper. B.A science report. C.A travel guide. D.A textbook.

Teens and kids are reading a lot less for fun, according to a recent report.
Although the decline(下降) in the past ten years is very surprising for teen readers, some data(数据) in the report shows that reading is still a big part of many children’s lives.
According to the report, the number or teens who hardly read has gone up from 8 percent to 25 percent today. The report data shows that kids’ reading ability remains almost the same. However, the amount of reading time has fallen, from about an hour every day to half an hour.
As for children’s e-reading, the report mentions little about its effects. But it says that many parents choose to control the time spent on e-books, mainly because they are worried about the increased screen time. After all, it is important to protect their kids’ eyes.
The most helpful part in the report is parents’ effects on their children. It shows that parents are examples and important guides for them in reading. If parents read more and find more time to read with their children, it turns out that their children actually read more often.
As summer vacation arrives, parents might take this chance to step in, make a reading list and enjoy the pleasant family reading time.
1.What do we know about children’s fun reading time?
A.It is much shorter. B.It stays the same.
C.It is much longer. D.It changes a little.
2.Why do many parents control e-reading?
A.It can waste kids’ time. B.E-books are not so important.
C.It can harm kids’ health. D.E-books are a waste of money.
3.How should parents encourage children’s reading?
A.By making reading plans. B.By setting good examples.
C.By praising kids’ reading. D.By offering different books.

Last night, a school night, my 11-year-old son's baseball team played a game that lasted until 9:30. By the time we got home and he had a quick dinner and shower, it was 10:30-an hour and a half later than a child who gets up at 6:30 should be going to bed. We love baseball. My son is having fun, getting exercise, and learning patience, teamwork and sports spirit. But the truth is that the game also influences his sleep.
As parents, we want good things for our children. We want them to be healthy both in body and in mind. To this end , we look for ways to help our kids grow and develop. We help them with their homework. We sign them up for dance, soccer and baseball. We encourage our kids to take honors courses（培优课程）or to have after-school jobs. And we praise them for hard-earned success and achievements.
However, the irony is that all of these activities and responsibilities that we are giving our children to make their lives colorful could be badly influencing their health and taking happiness away. Activities, responsibilities, and goals are good. But if we want our kids to realize their full physical, learning and social ability, sleep is important. We have to start taking sleep seriously.
Parents make bedtime routines and carry out（执行）strict rules about nighttime. But in fact, these measures（措施）aren't enough because getting our kids, enough sleep isn't just about carrying out stricter bedtime. It actually requires more than that. In order to ensure our kids get the sleep they need, bout parents and schools should make an effort.
1.From the passage we know the writer's son ________
A.isn't good at sports B.wastes time every night
C.can't get enough sleep D.always hangs out with friends

A.光荣 B.骄傲 C.讽刺 D.公正
3.What does the writer think of taking honors courses at last?
A.Boring. B.Unnecessary. C.Interesting. D.Enjoyable.
4.How can we make sure kids get enough sleep according to the write?
A.By making the children's lives colorful.
B.By refusing all the after-school activities.
C.By carrying out strict rules about bedtime.
D.By making an effort from parents and schools.
5.What would the writer probably talk about in the following paragraph?
