Students in western Ohio(俄亥俄州) have to say “bye-bye” to snow days. Snow may fall, but students won’t be able to spend the days sledding(滑雪橇). Classes will continue online. Officials say that holding electronic workdays(e-days) will help students keep up with their studies. It will also prevent requiring students to make up schooldays later in June.

Which would you prefer: spending a cold day on a computer, or sitting in school in June when you should be on vacation? Jordan Dewar, a student reporter, holds the opinion that having online work on a snow day is the better choice. “You would be working on a day that you already planned on having schoolwork.”

“Having extra days of school in summer can interfere with(妨碍) families’ vacation plans. Besides, what if your school does not have air-conditioning? Imagine sweating through seven hours at school on a hot June day when you could have been relaxing by a pool with your family. Doesn’t an e-day sound better than that?” Jordan Dewar said.

For some students, it would be easier to concentrate(专注) on e-days than on makeup days. “You can do a little work online,　 go play, and then come back later,” says Rachel Meyers, 12. “But on June days you would just have to sit there for seven hours, thinking about how you could be outside, so you lose focus.”

There are some students arguing that it’s not fair to ditch snow days, however. They say that snow days give them a much-needed break. They also note that missing a day here and there is not enough to put them behind. Most students in Silver Valley School think one problem of e-days is that sometimes siblings(兄弟姐妹们) have to share computers at home. In addition, it punishes the students who don’t have computers at home. When school starts again after e-days, these students will be left behind and have to work double-time to catch up with others.

“School budget cuts(预算削减) across the country are expected to continue into the 2017-2018 school year.” the American Association of School Administrators(AASA) Web site states. “The school wouldn’t be able to afford both online classes and taking care of the school,” Austin Krewson, an eighth grader, says.

Moreover, electricity is likely to be cut off during snowstorms. If kids don’t have power at home, the money and the time in running the new program would be wasted.

1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A. Officials suggest students should have more schooldays in June.

B. Officials believe snow days put students behind in their studies.

C. Students have to end snow days earlier than planned.

D. Students won’t have sledding classes at school.

2.The student reporter, Jordan Dewar, believes that _____.

A. siblings can help each other with their studies on e-days

B. students can learn better on e-days than on makeup days

C. having e-days in winter will save the cost of air-conditioning

D. students should study online when it snows heavily on weekdays

3.What does the word “ditch” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. give up　　 B. put off　　 C. carry out　　 D. pay for

4.The writer mentions the statements on the AASA Web site to _____.

A. explain the reason to hold the e-day program

B. show the difficulty of running the e-day program

C. suggest government should spend more money on education

D. stress why some students can’t afford computers for online classes

A primary school bus driver stopped the bus in a gas station in Ohio (俄亥俄州) because he had to use the bathroom. Instead of turning off the engine (引擎) and taking the key with him, the driver left the bus running. And he forgot to set the brake (制动器) because he was in a hurry. “It was cold outside, and I didn’t want the kids to get cold while I was using the bathroom,” he told a police officer.

The bus slowly started moving away from the gas station. As the bus picked up speed, the kids began shouting and crying. Ten-year-old Jake ran forward to the driver’s seat and held the steering wheel (方向盘). He pressed hard on the brake pedal (踏板) and managed to stop the bus as it came nearer to a river bed. Jake turned off the engine at last. After the police arrived at the scene, they praised Jake for his great effort.

“That is one cool kid,” said the police officer. “I told him he would make a great police officer when he grew up.”

Jake wasn’t very excited with what he had done. He said that stopping the bus was easy just like playing Grand Theft Auto III, which was his favorite action video game. The bus driver was taken to the police station. He was at first charged (指控) with “leaving a child alone while motor is running.” The police officer said he hoped to upgrade the charge because of the number of children (twenty) on the bus.

“Whatever he is charged with,” the police officer said, “I will see that he never drives a bus again.”

China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.

In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.

There are several reasons for this.

Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That’s to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.

Secondly, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams.

Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls’ education.

1.China Youth says that more and more ______.

2.42.14% refers to(指) the number of ______.

3.The writer gave us ______ reasons to explain the question.

4.What does the underlined word “proportion” mean in Chinese?

5.Which of the following sentences is TRUE?

China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.

In recent years, the proportion(比例) of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.75% of the college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the proportion was 42.14%.

There are several reasons for this.

First, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That is to say, girls are almost as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study. Second, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams.

The last one is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls' education.

Kids in primary schools in Bellaire, Ohio, US have something to sing about. For the past several years, public primary schools in that town didn't offer music classes. They didn't have the money to pay for them. But now they have got the money to bring back music.

Many school officials (行政官员) across the US say music classes get students excited about going to school. Also, studies have shown that music classes may boost brainpower (促进脑力). For example, researchers from the University of Southern California did a study. They found that the brains of 10 and11-year-olds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didn't.

Though most people aren't opposed to teaching music in schools, not everyone says it's necessary. Many school teachers say that learning music means less time spent on maths, writing and science, all of which may be more useful to students later in life. Here's what two kids think.

Music should be taught in school for the simple reason that it makes learning more fun. We have music classes at my school, and I love them! In 2018, a research company called Grunwald Associates did a survey (调查) on music education. More than 60% of parents whose kids took music classes in school said their child is more focused (专注的).

Noah

At my school, we don't have music classes. I think that's OK because it gives us more time to focus on main subjects, like reading and maths. It's more important to learn these subjects than it is to learn how to play a musical instrument. If someone wants to take music classes, he or she can do it outside of school. I take piano classes after school, so it doesn't take time away from my other classes.

Sophia

1.Paragraph 2 uses an example to show that________.

A. students in the US like going to school

B. students in the US like taking music classes

C. music classes are good for students' brain development

D. 10 and 11-year-olds learn to play musical instruments faster

2.What do the underlined words "opposed to" in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?

A. 理解 B. 精通 C. 研究 D. 反对

3.Which of the following does Noah probably agree with?

A. Music adds fun to learning. B. Schools should do music research.

C. Music is useful to students later in life. D. Schools should make music classes simple.

4.What can we learn about Sophia?

A. She hates reading and maths. B. She thinks it is boring to play the piano.

C. She goes home immediately after school. D. She studies in a school without music class
