These days, young children can enjoy directly what it is like to be a marine biologist (海洋生物学家) at a marine association. What they discover can lead them to appreciate and protect the ocean and also the animals living in it.
At the present time, learning isn’t only limited to the classroom. It’s quite common for kids to learn from outdoor experiences. Teachers commonly take their pupils on field trips to museums as well as other interesting areas. If you wish to help pupils to take care of the ocean, one of the best areas to take them to is a marine association, the place where the ocean biome (生物圈) is shown.
Taking your pupils to a marine association is a prefect way to help them learn. Education professionals agree that there are topics that children can learn more successfully whenever they experience them directly.
Several organizations that focused on protecting the ocean now operate on the coast of different areas in America and all around the world. It’s quite common for marine associations nowadays to open their doors several times a week to kids, parents, and ocean lovers to learn more about the ocean biome.
A marine association has different programs for children of different ages. You’ll find programs that are developed specially for pupils. Pupils are involved in interactive (互动的) learning. This learning experience allows young children to recognize the value of the role each species performs in their environment. They not only get to research creatures from the ocean, but they also get to see, touch, and smell most of these animals and plants. This type of exposure offers students an idea about the life of a marine scientist. It could help them choose a career afterwards.
These programs are generally held on Saturdays and Sundays in order that kids and parents can have more hours in which to have fun. Teachers who want to arrange these activities for their students can call a local marine association near them.

As most people know, in the past few years, sandstorms have swept across many cities and areas of North China, polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings. People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses, such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only undermined the industrial and agricultural development of our country but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of the Chinese people. It is expected that effective(有效的) measures should be taken as soon as possible through our joint efforts to limit its occurrence.
So what should we do with the frightening sandstorms? Some experts put forward practical suggestions as follows: For one thing, more funs(基金)ought to be put into tree planting and forest protection so as to keep more water resources within the surface of the earth. For another, governments of all countries should make laws on environmental protection.For example, banning the use of throw-away chopsticks and punishing illegal tree cutting. Scientists should also study and find ways to cut down the degree of its destruction and to improve the whole environment.
How people look forward to sunny days with little breeze(微风)touching their faces now and forever! Nevertheless, I am fully confident that the golden days can come back so long as everyone tried his best to protect natural environment from today on.
小题1:The underlined word”undermined”(in Paragraph 1)means __________.| A．weakened | B．encouraged | C．kept | D．made |
小题2:From the first paragraph, we can infer _________.| A．China has taken no measures to prevent sandstorms. | | B．sandstorms can cause much damage to human beings and their daily lives. | | C．the sandstorm is the most dangerous natural disaster to human beings. | | D．more sandstorms will happen in the near future in North China. |
小题3:How many ways do some experts put forward to fight against sandstorm?小题4:What’s the author’s attitude towards the situation to sandstorms’ problems?| A．Unconfident | B．Optimistic | C．Regretful | D．Satisfied |

When my daughter was in the fifth grade, she came home from school almost every night with three or more hours of homework. It was my duty to help her get it done. One night she worked until midnight doing her homework.
I felt annoyed, but I didn’t want the teacher to think I was lazy. So I never complained. I wasn’t sure, but it seemed to me that five hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student.
Later, I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for more than a century. Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in today’s world. Some educators see homework as a way to help students perform better in tests.
Other parents dislike the recent trend toward more homework. They don’t want to stay up until midnight helping their children. They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children. Added to the opposition(反对)are those who say that homework increases the gap(差距)between the rich and the poor. That’s because middle class families do better when it comes to helping their children with their homework.
So, who is right? Is homework an enemy or a help? According to experts, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
小题1:The author thought that her daughter’s homework _________.| A．was too difficult | | B．was too much to finish | | C．was done more carefully than other students’ | | D．could be done as long as she helped her daughter |
小题2:The author never complained to the teacher because _________.| A．she was too angry to talk with the teacher. | | B．she did not like complaining. | | C．she was afraid of being thought lazy by the teacher. | | D．her daughter would be annoyed if she complained. |
小题3:In the last paragraph, experts __________.| A．think middle school students should do lots of homework. | | B．haven’t come up with any idea to solve this problem. | | C．think homework should be given, but not too much. | | D．support the idea that homework is good for students. |

In my long years of teaching, I often ask my students to read the texts until they can recite them, and I tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper.
In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless?
Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don’t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don’t remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So, recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.
小题1:The writer often asks his students to recite the texts, __________.| A．But they don’t like to do so | | B．And they are eager to do so. | | C．But they wrote a letter to the Department of the Education reporting the thing. | | D．But they do more exercises instead of reciting the texts. |
小题2:What do the students think about the teacher’s advice?_______| A．The English teacher tries his best to help them with English | | B．The English teacher is very kind to them. | | C．The English teacher asks them to do something useless. | | D．The English teacher should let them study on their own. |
小题3:According to the text, which of the following is correct_________.| A．The teacher thinks the students are too naughty to learn english well. | | B．The students think they spend a lot of time in reciting the texts and get nothing. | | C．The students say that they often forget the words. | | D．The students take no interest in English. |
小题4:When the students are against his suggestion, the writer_______.| A．often criticizes them | | B．patiently explains to them why they should recite the texts | | C．wants to give up his idea | | D．is afraid that he is criticized by the headmaster. |
小题5:Why does the writer suggest that the students recite the text?_____.| A．Reciting the texts can improve the ability of applying English. | | B．Reciting the texts is the bestway of learning English. | | C．The students should remember all the texts that the teacher has taught them. | | D．Reciting the texts can greatly improve the classroom teaching |

About half American teenagers do not get enough sleep on school nights.They get an average of sixty to ninety minutes less than experts say they need.
One reason for this is biology.Experts say teens are biologically programmed to go to sleep later and wake up later than other age groups.Yet many schools start classes as early as seven in the morning.As a result，many students go to class feeling like sixteenyearold Danny.He is an active teen— except in the morning.“Getting up in the morning is pretty terrible.I’m just very out of it and tired.Through the first and second period I can hardly stay awake,” he said.
Michael Breus is a psychologist.Teens，he says，need to sleep eight to nine hours or even nine to ten hours a night.He says sleepy teens can experience a form of depression(消沉) that could have big influence on their general well being.It can affect not just their ability in the classroom but also on the sports field and on the road.So what can schools do about sleepy students？The psychologist says one thing they can do is to start classes later in the morning.Studies show that students can improve by a full letter grade in their first and second period classes.
Eric Peterson is the head of St.George’s School in the northeastern state of Rhode Island.He wanted to see if a thirtyminute delay(推迟)would make a difference.It did.He says visits to the health center by tired students decreased by half.Late arrivals to the first period fell by a third.And students reported that they were less sleepy during the day.Eric Peterson knows that changing start times is easier at a small school like his.But he is hopeful that other schools will find a way.
小题1:What’s the best title for the passage?| A．Later classes，fewer sleepy teens | | B．Early birds have good food | | C．Early to bed and early to rise | | D．Fewer classes，more happiness |
小题2:The underlined word“this”in the second paragraph refers to________.| A．teenagers’ staying up | | B．teenagers’ getting up late | | C．teenagers’ not getting enough sleep | | D．teenagers’ not studying seriously |
小题3:Michael Breus thinks that________.| A．teens should get up early | | B．teens need enough sleep to be lively | | C．depression is common in teens | | D．the first period class should be cut off |
小题4:The last paragraph tells us________.| A．Eric Peterson visits the health center every day | | B．it’s not easy for Eric Peterson to change start times | | C．students in St.George’s School can get up later than before | | D．students in St.George’s School aren’t late for school any more |
小题5:What can we infer from the passage?| A．Danny is a lazy boy and always late for school. | | B．Teens should go to bed early and get up early, too. | | C．The psychologist has no idea how to solve the problem. | | D．Enough sleep makes a healthy and active student. |
