At that time my family lived a stone s 40 from Ismails. And no

Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to exp
18、erience new environments and learn in different ways. But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet. For working parents, the
19、 long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some this makes even an
20、affordable family holiday difficult. The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast club
21、s to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in sofeguaiding childrens welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, muc
22、h of this is missed. While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to
23、 continue their learning. In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会 )is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down lo four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “dow
24、n time for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning. We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for c
25、ity children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care. 【小题 1】 The passage is probably written by . A an experienced teacher B a working parent C an inspired student D a city council member 【小题 2】 The underlined word they in the second paragraph refers to . A environments B holidays C wages D b
26、enefits 【小题 3】 It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to. A 2 weeks B 4.5 weeks C 5 weeks D 6 weeks 【小题 4】 The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students_ . A obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs B get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teach
27、ers in school C benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment D have more school days to receive free school meals 【小题 5】 It can be inferred from the passage that _. A working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children B the suggested plans for a five-term schoo
28、l year can hardly be carried out C the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real down time D some school staff will say “ No to the plans for a shorter summer holiday 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 C 【小题 5】 D Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too
29、 Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself Well, apparently its because we have mirror neurons (神经元） in our brains. Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿 )it， whether or not we actually
30、 perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further： mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions y they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people. Mirro
31、r neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave peopl
32、e sentences to listen to ( for example ：The hand took hold of the ball ) , the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball). Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much researeh sug
33、gests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders. Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concernin
34、g how humans behave and interact(互动） .Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物） for ncurosciencc of what Einsteins theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does-well， perhaps youll understand why. 【小题 1】 Mirror neuron
35、s can explain . A why we cry when we are hurt B why we cough when we suffer from a cold C why we smile when we see someone else smile D why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late 【小题 2】 The underlined word triggered in the third paragraph probably means “ ” A set off B cut off C built up D br
36、oken up 【小题 3】 We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons . A relate to human behavior and interaction B control human physical actions and feelings C result in bad behavior and social disorders D determine our knowledge and language abilities 【小题 4】 What is the passage mainly about A Ways to
37、 find mirror neurons. B Problems of mirror neurons. C Existence of mirror neurons. D Functions of mirror neurons. 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 D Finally, a cell phone Thats a phone With rates as low as $3.75 per week ！ “Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and
38、get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a global-positioning

47、】 D At exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered, with anxiety and worry in every line of his face. This meeting would decide his future life， and he obviously knew it. You may wonder, Sir Percival,”said Laura calmly, “if I am going to ask to be released (免除） from my promise to many you. I am
48、not going to ask this. I respect my fathers wishes too much.” His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet. No, if we are going to withdraw. (退出） from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine. “Mine ” he said in great surprise. “What reason could I have for withdrawing A reason that is very hard to tell you, she answered.
