That“s the situation presented to Sam, Kelsey, Judy and Brenton in Dan Gutman“s entertaining n
14、ew book for young readers, The Homework Machine. The four children, all fifth graders in Miss Rasmussen“s class at Grand Canyon School, are as different as any four 11-year-olds could be, but they have one thing in commonall are somewhat separated from their classmates. Sam is a newcomer and has had
15、 his share of school trouble before; Kelsey quietly carries her pain at losing her father; Judy“s sense of justice (正义感) always annoys others; and Brenton. well, he is another story entirely. Brenton is easily the smartest child in school, so smart that even his parents and teachers have trouble kee
16、ping up with him. When Brenton and his three classmates are put into the same study group by their teacher, the others discover that Brenton has made a time-saving gadget (装置) to do his homework for him. While the boy genius (天才) is perfectly able to do the homework himself, Sam, Kelsey and Judy cou
17、ld use the help. Having perfect grades is something new for these three, and as they meet every day to “do homework,“ they find that they“re learning a lotabout each other. Such a good thing can“t last though, and when a secret man starts trying to get in touch with them, the children begin to get n
18、ervous. Soon there“s an even more frightening problemwhy can“t the Homework Machine be turned off? Told in different voices (as all the children make statements to the Grand Canyon Police), the story develops in an interesting fashion. Gutman is a gifted writer who has written dozens of children“s b
19、ooks, each with a funny and impressing tale that should be equally liked by boys and girls.（分数：4.00）(1).What type of text is it?（分数：1.00）A.A book review.B.A school report.C.A science story.D.A student“s diary.(2).What is one common thing that all four children have to deal with at school?（分数：1.00）A.

22、rchers in the University of Toronto, Canada. Almost every parent in the study admits having come up with some tales to influence a child“s actions and feelings. For example, a parent is annoyed by a child“s crying and says, “The police will come to get you if you don“t stop crying now.“ In another e
23、xample, an uncle has just died and the child is told that he has become a star to watch over the child. Whether parents lie to benefit themselves or to protect the child, researchers suggest such tall tales could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal w
24、ith the social world. Lies could also harm the parent-child relationship. It could even keep children from learning certain rules. “If I am always lying to the child in order to get the child to do X, Y, or Z, then they have never learned why they should do X, Y, or Z.“ Heyman, one of the researcher
25、s, said. Heyman also said, “It is common for parents to try out various ways, including lying, to guide a child, but most parents never think about how it will influence their child. I think parents should figure it out in advance what their general beliefs are, so when it comes to the situation you
26、“re working with your beliefs rather than what comes into your head at the moment.“（分数：4.00）(1).What did the researchers find out in their recent study?（分数：1.00）A.Most parents are strict with their children.B.Many parents like to tell police stories.C.Few parents believe in honesty.D.Parents often l

29、iefs.C.Influence their children in various ways.D.Figure out children“s problems in advance.CIn period of the summer holidays there will be a revised schedule (修改过的时刻表) of services for the students.

But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family“ in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in
36、their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent familyhence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one“s parents and starting one“s own life. The man“s
37、 first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife“s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife“s parents nor the husband“s, nor their brothe
38、rs or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with themthey are their own masters. Readers of novels like Jane Austin“s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl“s parents, that is, it was the parents“ duty to find a sui
39、table husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents“ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their givin
40、g the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.（分数：5.00）(1).What does th

Similar to your bedside alar
45、m clock, your internal clock runs on a 24-hour cycle. This cycle, called a circadian rhythm, helps control when you wake, when you eat and when you sleep. Somewhere around puberty, something happens in the timing of the biological clock. The clock pushes forward, so adolescents and teenagers are una
46、ble to fall asleep as early as they used to. When your mother tells you it“s time for bed, your body may be pushing you to stay up for several hours more. And the light coming from your computer screen or TV could be pushing you to stay up even later. This shift is natural for teenagers. But staying
47、 up very late and sleeping late can get your body“s clock out of sync with the cycle of light and dark. It can also make it hard to get out of bed in the morning and may bring other problems, too. Teenagers are put in a kind of a gray cloud when they don“t get enough sleep, says Mary Carskadon, a sl
48、eep researcher at Brown University in Providence, RI. It affects their mood and their ability to think and learn. But just like your alarm clock, your internal clock can be reset. In fact, it automatically resets itself every day. How? By using the light it gets through your eyes. Scientists have kn
49、own for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal clocks. For years, researchers thought that the signals that synchronize the body“s clock were handled through the same pathways that we use to see. But recent discoveries show that the human eye has two separate light-sensing systems. One system allows us to see. The second system tells our body whether it“s day or night.（分数：5.00）(1).The clock located inside our brains is simil
