Have you ever returned a book late to the library before? If so,you may pay a small fine(罚款).How much would you have to pay if the book is returned 65 years late?
A high school in Washington,US had to deal with such a problem recently.A copy of Gone with the Wind was finally returned to its library 65 years late.
However,the school said that it would not ask Wayne to pay the fine,though that would be about $475.
The book was borrowed out of the library of the high school in 1949,and disappeared until it was found in Maine,US by Wayne.Wayne found the book in his father's basement(地下室) and then offered to send it back to the school.
“I feel very sorry about that,” Wayne said.

If you need glasses to read this,you are among most of Chinese students.About fourfifths of high school students in China have poor eyesight(视力).And now more and more children in primary school need glasses,too.
Two main reasons can cause poor eyesight:too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing.Reading and writing for hours and hours,sometimes in poorly lighted rooms,causes eyesight to weaken.But students have to do this because there is so much pressure on them to succeed in school.They have less time to enjoy the sun.
The sun,it turns out,is important in developing good eyesight.According to a study by Australian National University,Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school,but once they enter primary school,Chinese children only spend about an hour a day outside,while Australian children spend three to four hours each day in the sunshine.The result is that while about forty percent of Chinese primary school students need glasses,only three percent of Australian children do.
And poor eyesight at a young age can have serious long term influence.As you get older,your eyesight can worsen.
With all that in mind,don't you think it's time to give your eyes a break?

On a rainy day,about 150 volunteers worked for eight hours to clean up Carson Creek that is near a river.About nine tons of trash were taken out from there.
“We did a good job,”said Alan Specter,the organiser of the event.“We're planning to come back here one more time,three years from now.Of course,we hope that there won't be so much trash next time.”
The trash came in all shapes,sizes and colors:cans,bottles,bicycles,batteries,furniture,clothing,plastic bags,dolls,and even a golf bag with a full
13
set of golf clubs(球棒).
The dirty and tiring work was done by two volunteering groups—Save the Bay and Watch the Whales.Most of the volunteers came from a local police station and a fire station.And some of them were old people who had already retired(退休).
That day,it rained a little.All of them wore boots,gloves and raincoats.They did the work along a twomile river with over 500 big yellow trash bags everywhere.
No one found anything that cost much.A fiveyearold boy found an earring which he thought might be worth a million dollars.He said he'd sell it.Then he'd donate half of the money to Watch the Whales,and use the other half to buy his favorite ice cream every day.

New Technology Revolutionizes(变革) Learning
More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning.Today,such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses,including language,history and science.
Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning.They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom.Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos,students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.
The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at_their_own_pace.Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it,so they can save time for doing other things.Other students,however,might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it.Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.
13
The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy.They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies).The class has become much more interesting and creative.
There are other advantages for students.By using iPads,they can pay more attention to the material and learn more.Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find.Some students spend more time studying now.“I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus,instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.
Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students.They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams.Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other.If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad,he will have fewer opportunities to have facetoface communication with others.
However,technologies are already a part of most students' daytoday lives.As for cheating,teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams.Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part.We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.
9.What does the expression“at their own pace”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?__A__
A.According to their own timetable.
B.Without their teachers' help.
C.Because of their wonderful goals.
D.Against their parents' hope.
10.From the passage we can learn that__B__.
A.students with iPads have less discussion in class
B.students get more fun from learning with iPads
C.iPads help students save time waiting for buses
D.iPads prevent students from cheating in exams
11.The writer probably agrees that__C__.
A.teachers can take control of students' learning
B.exam results depend a lot on new technology
C.technology in education has a bright future
D.notetaking is as helpful as videowatching

The Sunday Mail magazine interviewed some parents about whether children should do chores at home.Different people have different opinions.
Ms. Miller thinks that kids these days already have enough stress from school.They do not have time to study and do housework,too.Housework is a waste of their time.They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university.When kids get older,they will have to do housework.So there is no need for them to do it now.She thinks that doing chores is not so difficult.
However,Mr.Smith disagrees with her.He thinks it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework.It's not enough to just get good grades at school.Children_these_days_depend_on_their_parents_too_much.Doing chores helps
13
to develop children's independence and teaches them how to look after themselves.It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness.Everyone should do their part in keeping the house clean and tidy.The earlier kids learn to be independent,the better it is for their future.
