Help your child look forward to school

Your child says that he is sick whenever the alarm clock goes off. Your child hides under the covers and cries, “ I hate school” when it’s time to get ready in the morning. 1. If he behaves like that , there could be more than book reports and tests making him want to stay at home.

Talk to your child

You can ask questions like “ Did you have a good day today?” or “2.” If your child rides the bus, you can ask where he sits and why.

Talk to the teacher

Meet with your child’s teacher. Discuss the problems you are having at home and find out what is happening at school. Are there behaviour problems you do not realize? 3.

Be aware

Your child’s problem may also be caused by a learning disability. If you think there’s such a problem, talk to the school.4. Most schools have either an in-house psychologist (心理学家) or one who visits the school regularly. Set up a time to discuss the problem with his teachers.

5.

If your child’s homework is untidy, don’t criticize (批评) his handwriting. Instead, praise him for completing the work. If his clothes don’t match in the morning, tell him how proud you are that he got ready for school on time instead of criticizing him.

A．Look for the good.

B．Volunteer in the classroom.

C．Do other students make fun of your child?

D．How are you getting along with your classmates?

E. You might get angry when your child tell lies at school

F. Your child forgets to bring home his homework on purpose.

G. His teachers will pay more attention to while he’s in class.

The next time your friends roll their eyes when you’re snapping a selfie (自拍照) or taking a photo of your dessert, tell them that photographing everyday things can actually make people happier.

In a study of more than 2,000 people, researchers found that people who took photos of their experiences, whether they were walking through a museum or going on a city bus tour, had a better time overall compared with those who didn’t.

During each of the study’s nine experiments, people were asked to either take photos or give up photography during an everyday activity, such as eating a meal. In nearly every experiment, the group that took photos showed higher levels of enjoyment.

The finding might not sound terribly surprising. After all, Facebook members upload about 2 billion photos daily, and Instagram users upload about 80 million photos every day. But some people argue that taking photographs can distract (分散注意力) themselves from enjoying an experience while it’s happening.

The new research shows that it isn’t the case and that photography does increase a person’s enjoyment, because it increases his or her engagement in the activity. For example, in one experiment, people toured a museum while wearing glasses that tracked their eye movements. The group that took photos spent more time looking at the artifacts than those who didn’t.

However, photos are sometimes a drag. For instance, if the camera is difficult to carry, it might not bring enjoyment to a person. And in some cases, photography can make situations unpleasant. For example, when people in the study took a virtual safari (游猎) and watched some lions attacking a water buffalo, the people who took photos of the bloody event were reported to have a lower enjoyment of the activity than those who didn’t, the researchers said.

1.Why does taking photos increase enjoyment?

A. People can share their photos on Facebook.　　 B. People have more time to look at the objects to be photographed.

C. Some photos may end up as valuable artifacts.　　 D. Photography gets people more involved in the activity.

2.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Photography sometimes can be dangerous.

B. Photography requires more courage to do.

C. Photography is an unpleasant process.

D. Photography isn’t fun all the time.

3.Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the text?

A. Photography helps you appreciate people around you.

B. Snapping a selfie is a symbol of self-confidence.

C. Taking photos doesn’t ruin your experience.

D. The photo-taking process is a mental choice.

As is often the case, you are trying hard to keep your eyes open in class after a late night doing piles and piles of homework, “1.” You are probably thinking, “ This weekend I’ll make up for all the sleep I have lost.”

2.. Most people think the same way-if you stay in bed longer on Saturdays or Sundays, you will recover your missed sleep during the week.

However, this is not correct.3. Actually, researchers have just discovered that sleeping during the weekend will not do you any good, but rather make you feel more tired on Monday morning.

Our body keeps a clock inside. It tells us when to wake up in the morning and when to feel sleepy at night. But the time on our body clock can be changed once we start taking on different sleeping habits.4.. This may mean on Monday morning we sometimes struggle to get out of bed.

If we decide to get up only 20 minutes or half an hour later, it won’t matter. This is because our body clock can accommodate(顺应) a delay of up to an hour, which means that a short lie-in at weekends is unlikely to have any big effect, we needn’t worry about it at all.5.,

So, what should we do to balance and make up for all the sleep we’ve missed? Scientists say that simply eight hours of sleep would do the trick, not any longer.

A.You are not alone.

B.I need more sleep!

C.Sleep is important for everyone.

D.Sleeping is nothing like paying back money.

E.However, if we sleep longer our sleep becomes less efficient.

F.But delays of up to two hours or more can throw our body out of order.

G.This is why staying in bed for longer than usual might confuse our body clock.

When your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you probably wonder： Why on earth does school have to start so early?

Fortunately, there is a new law to support—or better still, science.

A law in California, passed on Oct 13, requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 8：00 am and that high schools start no earlier than 8：30 am. The law will go into effect by July 1, 2022.

Starting school at 8：00 or 8：30 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change, but it could mean one more hour of sleep for students who used to start school at 7:30 or even earlier.

"The effect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults," Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanford University, told The New York Times. He said that not having enough sleep can affect students' mental health and increase the risk of being overweight and diabetes （糖尿病）.

In the short run, students' school performances should improve almost immediately. Kyla Wahlstrom, a researcher at the University of Minnesota's College of Education, found that students who have enough sleep are alert in class and get much more satisfying grades.

Some might say that asking students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire state. But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter puberty （青春期）,which makes it difficult for them to fall asleep before 11：00 pm. So when school starts at 8：00 or earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime.

This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, "Generations of children will come to appreciate this historic day and our governor for taking action."

1.Which of the following is TRUE about the law?

A.The law has not been put into practice.

B.The law requires schools to start later than 8：30am.

C.The law will be passed by July 1, 2022.

D.The law is made by a university in California.

2.What does the underlined word alert in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A.Friendly. B.Sharp.

C.Calm. D.Honest.

3.For a better academic performance in the daytime, how long do teenagers probably need to sleep?

A.About 8 hours. B.About 9 hours.

C.At least 10 hours. D.At most 8. 5 hours.

4.What's the main idea of the text?

A.Lack of sleep could lead to health problems.

B.The amount of sleep people need changes with age.

C.A new law lets students sleep longer.

D.Sleeping problems are leading problems for teenagers.

What is most likely to affect your success at school or at a job? The ability to read. And that goes for your kids too. The declining literacy(读写能力的下降) of our society has been a main concern of educators for a while now, and yet things are not getting better.

In most cases, how well we learn to read will depend largely on our exposure（接触） to language as children. If we hear people around us talking about all kinds of subjects as children, we naturally pick up the words and phrases they use. If we pick up a lot of words, we will learn to read better.

Much of the traditional advice to struggling readers, theses days, seems to include developing “cognitive strategies”（认知策略）. In this way, readers are asked to centre more, to think, to be interested and ask questions, to analyze, to predict, to reason, and to check their understanding, or worse still to answer questions of what they have read. In other words they are asked to become self-conscious（有自我意识的） readers. I do not agree with this approach.

Here are my several strategies for reading improvement.

Read about things that interest you. If you are interested in what you are reading about, the words will come alive, and you will understand better. The more you read, the better you will become at reading. Just get started and it will become a habit, as long as you are interested in what you are reading.

Read material that is at your level or just a little difficult for you. Read material that you find easy to read, or just a little challenging. Looking up many unknown words in a dictionary is dull, and the results of the dictionary search are quickly forgotten.

_____ If you can hear the new words and phrases that you are reading, you will have an easier time understanding and remembering them. Hearing the rhythm of someone reading a text will help your own reading.

Don’t worry about what you don’t understand. Most of your reading should be for pleasure. You can still enjoy reading without understanding all of what you read. You may even understand some things in your own personal way.

Unfortunately not all reading is just for pleasure. When you are reading a textbook or report or other material for school, you may need to underline, take notes and read some parts over again. However, if you have developed the habit of reading for pleasure, you will find that the skills you need will come naturally, and that you will understand a lot better than before.

1.In Paragraph 2, the author tells us the importance of _____.

A. hearing people around as children            B. talking ability as children

C. contacting different people                  D. learning different languages

2.Which sentence is best to be filled in the blank in the passage?

A. Listen as much as possible.              B. Try to use your imagination.

3.It can be learned from the last paragraph that _____.

A. you should find pleasure from reading a textbook

B. the habit of reading for pleasure is important

C. reading for school is helpful for reading for pleasure

D. reading for school requires different skills from reading for pleasure

A. To tell us some ways to improve reading ability.

B. To show that poor literacy has been a big problem.

C. To teach us how to look for fun in reading.

From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, you can feel sweat running down your body, even if you're barely moving at all. That's what most people in China felt like this

summer. In fact, the entire northern hemisphere(半球 )saw high temperatures in July.

The Arctic Circle was no exception(例外). Temperatures in the city of Norilsk, which is in the Arctic Circle, reached a record high of 32 ℃, The Atlantic reported. Temperatures there are usually just 10 ℃at this time of the year.

The heat wave in the Arctic is mainly a long-term result of global warming, according to the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. In fact, while the whole world is getting warmer, the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. This is called the polar amplification effect（极地放大效应）.

The most direct impact of Arctic warming is the melting of Arctic ice. According to NASA, Arctic sea ice is now disappearing at a rate of 13.2 percent every 10 years. NASA said that if this continues, the Arctic will have no ice by the year 2040.

This has put some Arctic animals, like polar bears, in danger. The ice that the bears live on has shrunk(缩小), the Toronto Star reported.

Melting ice can also cause sea levels to rise in the long term. Since 1993, sea levels have risen at a rate of 3.2 cm every 10 years, the Guardian reported. Some countries, such as Tuvalu（图瓦鲁） in the South Pacific Ocean and Maldives（马尔代夫） in the Indian Ocean, are at risk of disappearing into the sea

1.Which of the following is true?

A. Some countries in the ocean will disappear in 10 years

B. China is the hottest in the northern hemisphere this summer

C. The temperatures in Norilsk used to be lower than this summer.

D. The world gets warmer because of the heat wave in the Arctic

2.What does the underlined word "this" in the third paragraph refer to?

A. The heat wave in the Arctic　　 B. The result of global warming

C. Getting warmer in the world　　 D. The Arctic getting warm faster

3.What may be the result of the melting of Arctic ice?

A. The polar will become dangerous　　 B. Sea levels rise in the long term

C. There will be an end of water shortage　　 D. There will be no ice in the world by 2040

4.What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Heat hits Arctic

B. Arctic animals are in danger.

C. The world became hotter than before

D. Some countries may disappear into the sea

What is the hottest topic at your school recently? In Hangzhou Yongjin Middle School, it’s money. The school held an activity called “making money” last weekend. About 200 students of Senior 1 and Senior 2 were divided into 30 teams. They went out to make money by selling things. What did they choose to sell? Some sold newspapers; some chose bottled water; some sold environmentally friendly shopping bags and bamboo(竹子) baskets.

Hu Qing’s team decided to sell some useful books in front of the Children Activity Center. They thought parents would like to buy the books for their children. But unfortunately, they met urban management officers (城管). The officers asked them to leave. “We played hide-and-seek (捉迷藏) with the officers for the whole morning” said Hu. “Finally we had to give up.”

Wang Bing and her team sold ice cream in a square. They didn’t meet any officers. But few people were interested in what they were selling. The team then put up a board saying “For Country Kids”. It worked. More people came to their stall (小摊). A foreigner even gave them 100 yuan. “He didn’t want any change. He said he wanted to help the children,” said Wang. “We were touched.” Later that day they gave the 100 yuan and more to the “Project Hope” office.

Meng Zhaoxiang and his team were luckier. They sold all their cakes in four hours, spending 39.5 yuan and getting back 80 yuan. They made 40.5 yuan. “It was not easy to make the money,” said Meng. “Some people just looked. Others just tasted but didn’t buy. Now I know how hard it is for our parents to make money.”

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 　 1.　 Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. 2.　 If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

3.　 A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 　 4. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ------ until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

5.　 It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

A. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow up ----- we are born with our preference.
