A new plan for getting children to and from s...

A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads.

Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school，or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead，as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school．

The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School．The children live just within the three—mile limit and the local government have said in the past that they will not undertake to provide free transport to the school．But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back，a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster.

Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out，but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than￡20 a term.

They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children．The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan．

1.What is the aim of the plan?

A．To prevent the students road accidents

B．To relieve the traffic pressure

C．To save time for the parents and students．

D．To help the parents save money．

2.The new bus service will be paid for by

A．the parents                            B．the local government

C．the bus company                        D．the local government and the parents

3.Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out?

A．The bus company will make much more money．

B．The children can choose whatever school they like．

C．The parents can get rid of their worries．

D．The students in Impington School can have free bus rides.

4.This passage is most probably ·

A．a personal letter                        B．an advertisement

C．a headmaster’s report                  D．a newspaper article

Going back to school is a very exciting event for my two boys. It means getting new school bags and books, and seeing friends again after the summer holiday.

My oldest son, 9-year-old Salem, asked me several times where we would go to buy a backpack, while my other son, 6-year-old Abdullah, asked what school would be like this year.

For the last three years, school was a nightmare for many children and their parents as violence increased and there were more attacks on schools and teachers. As a result, many parents prevented their children from going to school. One of six children in this country did not attend primary school in 2009. Many kids who did attend school were accompanied by a parent for the entire day to make sure nothing happened to their children.

For poor families or those with large families, back to school can be an expensive time. The government gives some help to those living in poor neighborhoods, and school bags, note books and other items(商品) are given for free.

Most of the merchants who sell notebooks and pens now sell their products out on the street instead of in stores. They sit on the ground and lay their items on the ground or they have a small table to sell their goods.

The bags cost between $10 and $20, while clothes and shoes cost between $20 and $30. I found all the things I needed for my sons and even bought something for myself. I spent about $50 on each of them, including school uniforms.

At the end of the day, we returned to our home carrying many shopping bags filled with items that made my children happy and excited to go back to school. I just hope this school year will be a peaceful one.

1.The author’s children are ________ to go to school.

A．eager            B．afraid             C．unwilling          D．surprised

2.The underlined word “nightmare” is the closest in meaning to ________.

A．fantasy           B．dream world       C．prison            D．terrible situation

3.Many children are not going to school mainly because of ________.

A．the terrible education system              B．security problems and poverty

C．parents’ distrust in schools              D．the government’s inability

4.As a parent, the author ________.

A．is unable to afford his kids’ schooling       B．is unwilling to send his kids to school

C．hopes his kids have a happy school life       D．complains school education costs too much

5.Which of the following statement is NOT true?

A．Many parents prevented their children from going to school for great study pressure.

B．School bags, note books and other items(商品) are given to those living in poor neighborhoods for free.

C．The author spent about $100 for her two sons.

D．The items the author bought made her children happy and excited to go back to school.

高一英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

A baby can quickly damage a new mother’s well-laid plans for getting back to pre-pregnancy(孕前的) weight and shape.

The constant demands, together with the exhausting effects of interrupted sleep, can make it hard to find the time and energy to exercise or prepare healthy meals.

Here are some tips for common problems new moms face:

Problem: No time to cook proper meals. When you’re caring for a baby, cooking proper meals seems like a luxury. Instead you rely on convenience meals and processed foods.

Solution: Try to get more support. Friends, family members, and neighbors are often delighted to help, so don’t feel you have to do everything yourself. Use the extra time to prepare some healthy meals. Follow the basic rules of cutting down on fat and increasing fruit and vegetable intake.

Problem: Sugary or high-fat snacks（零食）. Tiredness can leave you feeling sleepy, run-down, and in need of an immediate help from sweets and high-fat snacks.

Solution: Turn snacking to your advantage. Eat high-fiber, low-fat, low-sugar snacks; these will fill you up without adding too many calories. For an energy boost, eat a banana, which is high in potassium -- a mineral essential for muscle and nerve function -- or try a handful of raisins, which are high in iron but low in fat.

Problem: No time or energy to exercise. A baby is a constant demand on your time, so you’re too tired or busy to exercise.

Solution: Increasing activity levels will help you obtain a net calorie loss, while toning exercises will tighten your muscles. Though you may feel too tired to do any exercise, it is worth persevering because in the long run your energy levels will increase. Involve your baby in your postnatal(产后) exercises; start by walking with the child in a carriage or sling. Swimming is another aerobic exercise that you can both enjoy by joining a mother and baby class. Many pools have childcare facilities, so you can swim a few laps on your own.

Problem: Lack of sleep. The new baby interrupts your sleep, depleting your energy and leaving you tense and exhausted.

Solution: Practice some relaxation techniques whenever you have a few free moments. Meditation, visualization, or yoga can help your body recover and give you more energy.

1.What’s the subject of the text?

2. What’s the common problem that new moms don’t face?

3.The underlined word “depleting” in the passage means ________.

4.Which of the following is true?
