are quizzed about their child"s physical activity level describe their children as fairly active. But a new
study of nearly 2000 British school children suggests that many parents overestimate the amount of
physical activity their children are really getting.
The researchers equipped 1892 British school children, ages 9 and 10, with accelerometers that
measure all physical activity during a given time period. The research, known as the Speedy study
collected the exercise data from children at 92 schools in Norfolk, England, between April and July
2007.
A child was regarded inactive if he or she recorded less than an hour a day of physical activity.
Although the majority of children studied were getting enough physical activity, a sizable minority of
children were not. Overall,39 percent of girls and 18 percent of boys studied were getting less than an
hour of physical activity each day.
But if you asked the parents of the inactive children to describe their child"s activity level, the vast
majority-80 percent-described their children as fairly or very physically active, according to the findings
published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Interestingly, the children themselves had
more awareness about their lack of physical activity. Overall, 40 percent of children overestimated their
physical activity.
But it wasn"t the parents of overweight children who were most likely to guess wrong about physical
activity levels. The parents who were most out of touch about their child"s physical fitness were more
likely to have children who were slim. Parents of girls were also more likely to overestimate physical
activity. The researchers noted that parents should be educated about the importance of physical
activity for children even if the child is not overweight.
"Parents of slim children appear to assume that their children are adequately active." the study
authors reported. "Increasing awareness regarding health benefits of physical activity beyond weight
control might help have a correct idea of physical activity levels and encourage behavior change."
B. Children with less than an hour a day of physical activity.
C. Overweight children.
D. Children out of touch with their parents for a long time.
B. Only a small number of children were not getting enough physical activity.
C. A small number of children didn"t overestimate their physical activity.
D. The minority of children were not studied at all.
B. persuade parents to keep an eye on their children"s weight
C. urge children to wear accelerometers during exercise
D. advise parents to keep in touch with their children

Individuals (个人) should pay for their higher education.
A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than
nongraduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only
some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on
the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers" money to help a small number of people to
earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.
Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish
university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18thcentury Oxford,
where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed
salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work；and when the academics were lazy and
incompetent, the students were similarly lazy.
If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their
teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and
giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.
Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济).
Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资)
and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates
are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business
costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest.
Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.
B. pressing calls
C. college graduates
D. government resources
B. students are more demanding
C. students will become more competent
D. teachers will spend less time on teaching
B. call on them to finance students" studies
C. encourage graduates to go into business
D. show their contribution to higher education
than in the classroom. Therefore the great influence of parents can"t be ignored or discounted by the
teacher. They can become strong supports of the school or they can consciously or unconsciously
prevent the school from accomplishing its aims.
Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents apprised of the newer methods used in
schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness
program and developmental math.
Moreover, the classroom teacher can also play an important role in explaining to parents what they
should do. The informal tea and many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of
reporting pupils" progress, can significantly aid the interchange of ideas between school and home.
Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly
interview, the teacher can help the parent change his method. He might be persuaded to let Junior
participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a measuring cup at home, setting the
clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engage in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.
If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making
satisfactory progress in math and at the same time, enjoying the work.
Too often, however, teachers" conferences with parents are devoted to unimportant accounts of
children"s wrongdoing, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for punishments
and rewards at home.
What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional advisor, plants
ideas in parents" minds for the best use of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In
this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters"
competence.
B. know
C. design
D. develop
B. To explain to parents the change of the school curriculum.
C. To report students" misdoings and suggestions for punishments.
D. To help develop good communication between school and home.
B. To show how the teacher can guide in home training.
C. To prove parents are nonprofessional advisors.
D. To advise parents to teach kids math at home.
B. is worried about children"s performance at home
C. is satisfied with the present state of school education
D. believes time spent out of the classroom has been wasted
dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves must be
protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness (荒野).
For Killing Wolves
In Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago, because hunters were killing hundreds of
them for sport. However, laws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who
catch the animals for their fur. So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many
wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.
A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food. Many
of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness
plant life. When the deer can"t find enough food, they die.
If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, their prey (猎物) will disappear some day. And
the wolves will, too. So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology. If we
killed more wolves, we would save them and their prey from dying out. We"d also save some farm
animals.
In another northern state, wolves attack cows and chickens for food. Farmers want the government
to send biologists to study the problem. They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to
protect them in places where there is a small wolf population.
Against Killing Wolves
If you had lived long ago, you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf.
According to most stories, hungry wolves often kill people for food. Even today, the stories of the "big
bad wolf" will not disappear.
But the fact is wolves are afraid of people, and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human
smell. When wolves eat other animals, they usually kill the very young, or the sick and injured. The
strongest survive. No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had
lived. That has always been a law of nature.
Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves, we say it is nonsense!Researchers have
found wolves and their prey living in balance. The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too
large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.
The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people. Even if wilderness
land is not used directly for human needs, the wolves can"t always find enough food. So they travel to the
nearest source, which is often a farm. Then there is danger. The "big bad wolf" has arrived!And everyone
knows what happens next.
reasons EXCEPT that________.
B. they kill large numbers of deer
C. they attack cows and chickens for food
D. they destroy the wilderness plant life
B. there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness
C. there are too many deer in the wilderness
D. wolves are afraid of people and never attack people
B. they always go against the law of nature
C. they might help this kind of animals survive in nature
D. they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness

D. people will leave the areas where wolves can live
own school within a school. They named their practice the Independent Project. They represented the
usual range: two were close to dropping out before they started the project, while others were honors
students.
Their guidance teacher was their adviser, consulting with them when the group encountered difficulties. Though they sought advice from English, math and science teachers, they were responsible for monitoring one another"s work and giving one another feedback. There were no grades, but at the end of the term,
the students wrote evaluations of their classmates.
The students also designed their own course. In addition to some regular courses, they each took on
an "individual project", learning to play the piano or to cook, writing a novel or making a video about
domestic (国内的) violence. At the end of the term,they performed their new skills in front of the entire
school. The last part of their self - designed course was to do a "collective project" that had social
significance. Because they felt the whole experience had been so life - changing, they ended
up making a film showing how other students could start and run their own schools.
The project was a success. After returning to their traditional study, the students have high motivation
and are doing well. One student who had failed all of his previous math courses spent three weeks
teaching the others about probability. The lesson learned here is that if students are given the opportunity
to take control or contribute significantly to their own learning they will become more accomplished,
more engaged and more knowledgeable.
The students in the project are remarkable because they demonstrate the kinds of learning and
personal growth that are possible when teenagers feel ownership of their high school experience, learn
things that matter to them and learn together.
B. The teachers monitored the students" homework.
C. The students themselves solved all their problems.
D. The teachers evaluate the students" performances.
B. tended to escape from the whole society
C. were unwilling to share their experiences
D. focused on self-study and working together
B. all the students had failed their math courses
C. the students have freedom to design their lessons
D. the project was mainly concerned with math courses
B. they have better backgrounds
C. they have supportive teachers
D. they are owners of their education
B. Let kids rule their own school within a school
C. Offer students few opportunities to do anything
D. Provide traditional education to the students
阅读下面短文并回答问题。(请注意问题后的词数要求).
question to ask yourself. College is a huge investment, no only of money, but also of 2-4 years of your
life. No one should attend college without a very good reason.
[2] Some people go to college to earn more money. On average, people who obtain a Bachelor"s
degree will earn more than l million dollars more over the course of their lifetimes than people who don"t
attend college. Those who go for Master"s, Doctor"s, and professional degrees do even better. Holders
of these degrees are suited to many high paying jobs while .
[3] Some go for the experiences. College is an amazing life experience. Students not only receive a
traditional classroom education, but also learn a large amount about the ways of the world. For many
students, college is the first time they live away from home. This creates a great opportunity to meet
different types of people and have many brand new experiences that can make you a much wiser and
worldly person.
[4]Some others seek after a dream. For many people college is great way to start the next step
towards achieving a dream. It can help you break into a new career path or achieve expert status in your
chosen field.
[5] However, there"re also some people going to college because "my parents and family expect me
to" or "I don"t know what I want to do with my life". If your main reason for going to college is one of
these, you should reconsider your motivations seriously. If you go without a true purpose, you can end
up finding what you spend on it might never be worth it.
2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. (no more than 5 words)
3. How could experiences mentioned in Paragraph 3 change people? (no more than 8 words)
4. Why could going to college help the students seek after their dreams? (no more than 20 words)
5. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? (no more than l0 words)
