Schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active. Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary School in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.

‘Read and Ride5 is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one in the comer of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.

It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.

Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities.

Most importantly, however, are the program’s academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astonishing 83% reading proficiency. Those that had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower, 41%.

Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to programs like Read and Ride, experts believe they are a significant contributor. That’s because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates (刺激) brain cells and helps prepare it for learning. As word of the difference made by this easy to execute exercise program spreads, don’t be surprised to find schools across the country adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.

When Ann, a grade two student at a well-known school, was pestered (纠缠) by her classmates to join their group to steal from shops, she was shocked. She was a quiet, well-behaved girl and she did not understand why the girls had approached her.

They showed her some of the things they had stolen and said that shop theft was great fun and very exciting. Then they threatened to beat Ann if she did not join them.

Ann was deeply troubled. She did her best to avoid the group of the girls after class­es, but they often waited for her outside the school and tried to persuade her to come with them.

This problem is one which many school students in Hong Kong face. We asked the chairman（主席） of the local-fight-crime committee（委员会） what Ann should do in these cases.

“First of all, she could try to talk the other girls out of the whole thing. Being caught stealing from shops could ruin their futures and it is simply not worth the risk,” he said.

“Young people may think that it is easy to get away with stealing from shops, but more and more stores now have plain clothes detectives who are dressed like customers. I would say shop thieves have a more than ninety percent possibility of being caught.

“If they won’t listen to her, Ann should turn to someone in charge in school, who can then decide if the matter can be dealt with by her.”

1. From the first three paragraphs we can learn that ________.

A. Ann didn’t know what to do with the case

B. Ann faced the group bravely

C. the group stole a lot of valuable things

D. the group were short of money

2. The underlined part “talk the other girls out of the whole thing” in the fifth paragraph most probably means ________.

A. discuss the possible result with them

B. tell them about their futures

C. persuade them to stop theft

D. warn them not to disturb her

3. One of the suggestions to Ann is to ________.

A. report the situation to the police

B. ask the local-fight-crime committee for advice

C. hire a detective to catch them

D. turn to her teacher for help

Some schools that are not year-round often have summer programs. In many cases, students take summer classes to repeat a subject they failed. This way they get a second chance to succeed. But schools also offer summer classes to students who want to be free of a required class during the next school year.

Generally, students in these classes want to take fewer subjects during the year because they are involved in a lot of activities. They might be involved in sports or music programs. Or both – and more.

These summer school students do the same amount of work as if they took the class during the school year. But they do it in a much shorter time, one or two months. They say it makes for a lot of reading and homework and not much time for anything else. Some education experts are worried about high school students who take summer school because of pressure to attend a top university.

The New York Times recently reported about summer classes at one of the best high schools in the United States. New Trier High School is in Winnetka, Illinois. Almost six hundred students are in school this summer. Only twenty are repeating classes that they failed. The others are in difficult courses like physics and history.

The students say taking classes like these in the summer means that they can take even more difficult classes next year. They say this shows not only that they are serious about their studies but that they have experienced the most difficult high school program.

Another place with a lot of students in summer school is Palo Alto, California. The Mercury News reported that about twenty percent of the students in the city schools are in class this summer. That is more than two thousand teenagers.

A third are in classes they failed before. The others are taking subjects they do not have time for during the normal school year.

But they are not taking subjects like physics and history. The students in Palo Alto are in classes like creative writing, film studies, literature and cooking.

1.This passage mainly talks about ______.

A. summer classes in American schools

B. why American schools offer summer classes

C. the advantages of American summer school

D. experts’ anxiety(担忧)about American summer school

2.Which of the following is NOT the reason for the students’ attending summer classes in America?

A. Repeating a subject.

B. Completing a required subject ahead of time.

C. Improving their physical quality

D. Learning some special skills

3.What’s the biggest difference between the summer classes in New Trier High School and in Palo Alto?

A. There are more students attending classes that they failed before in Palo Alto.

B. Some students in Palo Alto learn some special skills instead of taking physics and history.

C. Some students in Palo Alto take some subjects so that they can join in sports or music programs later.

D. The students’ attitude towards studies in Palo Alto is worse than that in New Trier High School.

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A. American students in schools don’t have any pressure to attend top universities.
