Adulting is hard. While high school students are at the forefront of technological and learning skills, it's often not until they leave home that they learn everyday life skills. Some believe that high schools should offer a commonsense course in which students are taught how to pay bills, change a tire or cook. Now, one Kentucky school is offering an ''adulting day'' to teach such skills to students in their senior year.

The class of 2019 at Bullitt Central High School in Shepherdsville, Ky., traded in their algebra and literature classes for a day to learn some positive life skills, according to Wave 3 News.

''I think that the idea occurred to me, originally, when I saw a Facebook post that parents passed around saying they needed a class in high school on taxes and cooking, '' Christy Hardin, director of the BCHS Family Resource & Youth Services Center, told Wave 3. ''Our kids can get that, but they have to choose it. And ''Wednesday'' was a day they could pick and choose pieces they didn't feel like they had gotten so far. ''

Members of the community helped provide the lessons for the students one on one, including local police who taught them how to interact with officers during traffic stops, a speaker who explained how to decipher the difference between homesickness and depression, and others who discussed how to use credit cards, how to cook in a dorm room and how to change a tire.

While many people on Facebook applauded the idea, with some arguing, ''This should be taught in every high school, '' others wondered what became of home economics.

Now known as Family and Consumer Sciences, these courses teach students how to cook, sew and budget, along with other skills. In many districts, however, the classes are electives and students do not always choose to take them.

''About time this came back, it was called Home Economics, '' one woman wrote. ''In today's diverse make up of families it would be a welcome addition. ''

Another shared, ''We had home economics that taught us to cook and learned how to sew. We also had business math that taught us banking and finances. Why in the world is that not taught today? I mean, a special day called adulting to teach kids this stuff? Should be a required class credit. ''

1.What can we infer from the first paragraph?

A.High school students are too busy to learn everyday life skills.

B.The schools in other districts have never taught everyday life skills to students.

C.High school students are advanced in technological and learning skills.

D.High school students are lacking in everyday life skills.

2.What put BCHS in the spotlight?

A.It did everything it could to cater to the parents.

B.It taught life skills at the cost of academic courses.

C.It offered parents opportunities to instruct classes.

D.It allow students to decide on their own subjects.

3.The underlined word ''decipher'' in paragraph 4 probably means “________”.

A.determine B.define C.discriminate D.distribute

4.Which of the following skills are included in the courses?

a. use credit cards　 b. learn algebra and literature c. change a tire d. how to cook

A.abc B.bcd C.acd D.abd

5.What are people's attitudes towards the courses?

A.Supportive B.Opposed C.Skeptical D.Indifferent

Dear Hamilton,

We are fortunate that in such a large, high-pressure office we all get along so well. You are one of the people who keep the social temperature at such a comfortable setting. I don’t know anyone in the office who is better liked than you.

You can perhaps help with this. The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees’ personal-life events is becoming a little troubling. Certainly, the group sending of a gift is reasonable now and then. In the past month, however, there have been collections for two baby shower gifts, one wedding shower gift, two wedding gifts, one funeral（葬礼）remembrance, four birthday gifts, and three graduation gifts.

It’s not only the collected-from who are growing uncomfortable (and poor), but the collected-for feel uneasy receiving gifts from people who don’t know them outside the office, who wouldn’t even recognize their graduating children, their marrying daughters and sons, or their dead relatives.

This is basically a kind gesture (and one that people think well of you for), but the practice seems to have become too wide-ranging and feels improper in today’s office setting.

Thank you for understanding.

1.The underlined word “contributions” probably means ________.

A. money   B. suggestions   C. reports    D. understanding

2.Hamilton is expected to _______.

A. show more kindness.

B. discontinue the present practice

C. quit being the organizer for gift giving

D. know more about co-workers’ families

3.This is basically a letter of ________.

A. apology    B. sympathy

C. appreciation   D. dissatisfaction

With the development of modern society and high technology, children wear more and more beautiful and fashionable clothes. More children 1.(allow) to choose their favorite clothes, which is 2.relatively new trend. Many years ago, children had to suffer the whims(突发奇想)of adults as far as clothes were concerned. Like 3.(adult) clothes, children’s clothes followed fashions as well. About 120 years 4., boys in Europe and America wore white ankle-length dresses, just like their sisters, until they 5.(reach) the age of five. Older boys from wealthy 6.(family) were then dressed in pretty velvet(丝绒) suits 7.lace collars. Their hair was grown to shoulder length 8.longer. For many unlucky boys, these carefully planned and organized costumes were nor reserved for special occasions; they had to wear the same 9.(restrict)and uncomfortable outfits for everyday play. Clean and proper clothes say that the person has both self-respect and respect for other people. Clothing can tell quite a lot about the person, sometimes more than we would like to reveal. So we should pay more attention to 10.(wear) proper clothes in different occasions.

Parents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops. New research has determined that the ability to quantify may develop much sooner than most parents realize.

Kristy vanMarle, professor of the University of Missouri, has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown, infants（婴儿）are able to quantify substances（物质）—like sand or water—as early as 10 months. As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough, infants will choose the larger amount, especially when it comes to food.

With the assistance of her team researchers, vanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups: one containing a small amount of food, and one containing a larger amount. Consistently, the babies chose the larger amount.

“Several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see; however, infants don’t seem to count things like water or sand,” vanMarle said. “What we’re saying is that they can quantify substances; The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories. They decide which amount is larger, and they almost always select the larger one.”

This information further refutes（驳斥）the long-held idea that babies “know nothing of the world,” vanMarle said.

“Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures, we’ve discovered a lot of early abilities. I think for parents, it should be exciting to know that there’s somebody there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world, and that knowledge is guiding their development,” vanMarle said.

In the future, vanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a child’s progress in math-related skills, although programs marketed to increase those abilities, such as “Baby Einstein,” still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study.

1.Babies choose the larger amount of food ________.

A．by saying numbers                      B．with the help of parents

C．on personal preference                  D．through their natural abilities

2.The quantifying ability refers to the ability to ________.

C．describe the quantity of something

D．obtain math-related skills

3.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?

A．The process of doing research.

C．The final choice of infants.

D．The observation of infants’ behavior.

4.We can learn from the text that ________.

A．some parents don’t care about their kids
