Today, kids have more worries and face more pressures than ever before. Here are a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school.

● 1.

Recording everything to be done will help him keep track of important dates and deadlines. With proper plan he will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time.

●Watch the clock

2.. I also recommend setting his clock or watch five minutes ahead since it’s always easy to run late. When it comes to something like catching a bus, just five minutes can make a significant difference.

●Get enough sleep

Lack of sleep is proven to harm us physically. 3.. The average adult needs at least six hours of sleep a night and the average child needs at least eight.

●Stay in shape

Through spending time outdoors or playing sports with friends, he can “blow off some steam” so to speak, as well as re-energize. 4..

● Talk through your problems

Be able to share his concerns with you. 5.. If you make it clear that you understand him and are willing to help, you will contribute to his emotional health and build an open and honest relationship as well.

A.The more sleep we get, the more alert we are

B.Create a personal schedule

C.Encourage him to get outside

D.Encourage your child to be positive

E.Setting an alarm for the morning is a must

F.Help your child work better to realize his aim

More than ever, kids today have given up reading for activities like watching TV, playing video games and surfing the Internet, but recently a new trend (趋势) has been catching on that will hopefully change that.

In fact, book clubs are becoming more popular among American kids. 11-year-old Kenya Debarros read about singer Lena Horne. “It was just amazing to see a black woman as the star and not just a mammy or a maid,” she says. But did all these kids come enthusiastically (热情地)? No, not exactly.

“I like book club, uh, I don’t know, but I am just trying it out. My mom didn’t make me, but I just tried it out,” says 16-year-old Antonio Nash.

And if they’ll try it, the experts say, there are ways to get them to come back. Make it fun, serve pizza, serve chocolate cakes and have door prizes (门票对号奖). It also helps to connect books to the real world. They talk about things that are happening in the community, so they can relate whatever they’ve read in the book to what’s happening now.

Here they have long talks about the books they have selected, which most kids don’t get to do when they’re in school, and these kids say, in book clubs they’re learning to love books and love reading.

“I feel like I’m actually in the book and doing what the actual main character is doing,” says 13-year-

-old Justin Woodard.

16-year-old Antonia McManus says reading gives her a nice break from the day, “Sitting down and reading a book gives me some time to get away from the world, and get my mind straight.”

52. What does the underlined phrase “catching on” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Happening.              B. Realizing.    C. Becoming popular.   D. Bringing in.

53. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Book clubs develop very fast in America.

B. Book clubs are popular among American kids.

C. American kids’ habits are changing towards reading.

D. A new trend helps change children in America.

54. It can be known from the passage that ______.

A. book clubs are designed to improve kids’ study

B. book clubs are mainly to help kids forget the reality

C. kids like to go there for the silent surroundings

D. kids may get unexpected rewards in book clubs

More than 20 million kids in the United States live with one parent. Separation and divorce are the most common reasons for this. In other cases, the mom and dad may never have lived together, or one of them may have died.

Living with one parent instead of two can bring about a lot of emotions. These feelings can be pretty strong, and they can be confusing, too. You might feel terribly sad and angry because your parents divorced.

Single parents are often working parents because someone needs to earn money to buy food, clothing, and a place to live in. Having a job means your mom or dad is able to provide these things and more for you. People work for other reasons, too. A job can let a person use his or her special talents and skills. A job can be important because it helps people in the community.

But even though you might understand why your mom or dad has to work, sometimes it can be hard to accept. This can be especially true during the summer or school vacations. You’re home, they’re gone, and the days can seem really long.

It can be tough when you don’t have enough time with your dad or mom. When you live with one parent, that person really has to do the work of two people. Besides a job, your mom or dad is responsible for caring for the kids, the house, the yard, the car and the pets. So what can you do ?

One of the best ways is to hold a family meeting. Talk about everyone’s schedule for work, school, and activities. You can also talk about what jobs around the house need to be done every day. You might want to help your parent cook dinner sometimes. That can be both fun and helpful to your parent. Maybe you can also schedule a weekly game or a movie at night.

1.What are the main reasons for kids’ living with one parent?

B．Living with one parent can cause a lot of emotions.

C．Working means a mom or dad is able to provide things for their kids.

D．Kids can also talk about what jobs in their school can be done at a family meeting.

3.It can be inferred from the underlined sentence (in Paragraph 4 ) that ______

A．the kid in the company of friends does want help

B．the kid who plays with both parents does need their love

C．the kid lacks both parents’ love does feel lonely

Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes(糖尿病) than white people. And they often lead to heart attacks and other untreated diseases. For example, black people are three to four times more likely than white people to have high blood pressure and twice as likely as the white population to die of a stroke(中风).

New research has found out the surprisingly high levels of salt in many of black people’s favorite meals. I stopped putting extra salt in my food at the table long ago and I try to cut down on the salt I use in cooking. The recommended daily level of salt for adults is 6 grams. It is easy to see that if you avoid processed(加工过的) foods and use salt in your cooking within the limit, you won’t exceed the daily level.

The research showed how much salt there is in some foods that we buy from restaurants and takeaways. An average salad with rice and peas has 6.2 grams of salt. This is more salt than you are supposed to eat for the whole day.

A researcher talked about the importance of home cooking rather than take-outs. At home, he pointed out, not only can you hold control of the salt shaker, but also you can create tasty food which is low on salt. The researcher later provided curry goat and rice and peas. They were low on salt, but completely delicious.

I do not suppose Jamaicans are going to stop buying takeaways soon. But if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is probably better not to buy them often.

1.The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to ______.

A．white people                          B．black people

C．untreated diseases                      D．high blood pressure and diabetes

2.What has the new research found out according to Paragraph 2?

A．Black people take in too much salt.

B．Black people’s meals are very special.

C．Processed foods have too much salt in them.

D．6 grams of salt per day is enough for an adult.

3.What would the writer probably suggest black people do?

A．Order no salad in a restaurant.             B．Take in no salt for several days.

C．Stop cooking their favorite meals.           D．Eat less takeaways.

4.The researcher provided curry goat and rice and peas in order to ______.

A．thank those who came to his home for his research

B．let people know that eating less salt makes one healthier

C．show that tasty food with less salt can be made at home

D．prove the less salt the food has the more delicious it is

5.What would be the best title for this passage?

A．Watch the salt.                         B．Take care, black people.

C．Say no to takeaways.                     D．Say no to high blood pressure.

In a house with more than one kid, there are bound to be some problems. When brothers and sisters don’t get along，it’s called sibling rivalry(敌对). It’s normal, but too much competition can make for an unhappy home life. Let’s talk about getting along with brothers and sisters．

What is sibling rivalry?

A little competition isn’t a bad thing. Sometimes it can keep you working hard, but some sibling rivalry involves arguing. People who love each other might argue sometimes, but too much fighting is unpleasant for everyone.

Have you ever heard of the green–eyed monster called jealousy (嫉妒)? Sometimes brothers and

sisters are jealous of one another. For instance, if your sister always does well at school, it may be frustrating for you, especially if your grades are lower.

Although you’re probably proud of your sibling or siblings, it’s normal to be a little jealous, too. It may make you feel better to focus more on doing your own personal best, rather than comparing yourself with a brother or sister.

Don’t lose your cool．

Sometimes when you’re jealous and frustrated, it’s easy to lose your temper. Try to follow these tips to avoid getting into a fight with your brother or sister: Firstly, take a deep breath and think a bit. Secondly, remind yourself that you have special talents. Finally, try to congratulate your siblings on their achievements and share their happiness. If you do this for them, they’ll be more likely to do it for you.

Hopefully, these tips will work. But if the situation gets out of control and you and your brother or sister start fighting a lot, you may need to talk to someone.
