Parents in Spain are being urged to go on a weekend homework strike this month in protest against the unacceptable amount of after-school tasks their children are given. The homework load of Spanish children has long been a sore point with some parents, who argue that the burden is too great, places too much pressure on pupils and eats into family time.
According to a study by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD), Spanish 15-year-olds have 6.5 hours of homework a Week compared with an average of 4.9 across the 38 OECD countries. The Spanish Confederation of Associations of Mothers and Fathers of Students (Ceapa)is calling on parents whose children attend Spanish state schools to boycott weekend homework in November.
"We've lost a bit of common sense in this country when it comes to talking about education and we've got a system in which boys' and girls' free time has disappeared", said Jos Luis Pazos, president of Ceapa. "Schools are passing on tasks to families that they shouldn't be. It starts with children from the ages of three to six doing half an hour's homework every day. For us, that's an unacceptable situation".
Pazos said Ceapa disagreed with the belief that children should endure huge amounts of homework in the hope that it would ensure them a better future. They should be. happy when they're little and that life isn't just about someone telling you that you have to suffer inexplicably(难以理解地). The model needs to change because society has changed.
Schoolchildren have to fit their homework around the school day, which varies from region to region and school to school, but starts early from around 8 am or 9 am and finishes anywhere between 2 pm and 5 pm. However, schools are increasingly using an 8 am-2 pm timetable to save money and in the face of evidence that suggests the longer hours do not yield better results.
A spokesman for the education department of Madrid said homework was a matter for individual schools rather than regional governments. They're the ones who know best what the need is in each case.
25.Why are parents in Spain being called on to go on a strike?
A. To stop school violence
B. To ask for longer school time
C. To say no to heavy homework load
D. To request equal education for their kids
26.Which of the following would Ceapa agree to?
A. Longer school hours will ensure better grades
B. Happiness is the most important thing for a child
C. Huge amounts of homework means a better future
D. The 8 am-2 pm timetable is suitable for most children
27.Which of the following should be responsible for students' homework according to the spokesman?
A. Ceapa B. The OECD
C. Regional governments D. Each individual school
C
Growing up in Wyoming everyday life was an adventure-I spent my time camping, and exploring mountains. When I was little my mom became the state's first female U.S. Marshall. I'll never forget how the local newspaper praised her for her success in a field that's traditionally run by men. Under her influence I made up my mind to achieve something great. Now I've become famous for sailing, a sport often considered "a man's world".
Sailing is considered a hard-to-break-into sport. And generally, there are only two ways to get into it-either through a strict sailing education that leads to experience or by growing up on the water and racing in the Olympics. Most of my teammates became professional sailors in one of these two ways but I skipped both.
In the summer of 2008, I went to St. Croix through a college internship(实习) program focusing on educating locals about HIV and AIDs. There I discovered my love for sailing. Then SCA a global hygiene(卫生保健) company, made the decision to support an all-female team and when they began accepting applications, I knew it was the chance of a lifetime. I made it my task to become a part of the team. Even when it seemed like there were no positions left, I never gave up. After a stressful, two-year application process, I finally got the call. I moved to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands and began training with the team immediately. The process was physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting, but I finally achieved my goal. I sailed in the "Everest of sailing" with only six years' experience. Later there was an all-female team competing and I was lucky enough to be a part of it.
As women, we need to approach our dreams as if we deserve to achieve them as much as men, because we do. There are plenty of professions, including sailing, in which women are absent or have a minor presence-but that's not because they shouldn't be there. We need to push the boundaries and focus on obtaining our goals and passions, no matter how unobtainable and challenging they may seem.
28.Why does the author mention her mother in Paragraph 1?
A. To compare with her mother
B. To describe women's struggles
C. To analyze her mother's success
D. To show her mother's influence on her
29.What does the underlined word "both" in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A. Two traditional ways to become professional sailors
B. Two important persons in the author's life
C. Two basic stages of being a sailor
D. Two famous professional sailors
30.What is the correct order of the following events?
a. I began training with the sailing team
b. I attended a college internship program
c. I took part in competing in an all-female team
d. I discovered my love for sailing as a woman
A. b-d-a-c B. d-a-c-b C. a-c-d-b D. a-d-c-b

The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.
First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled(芭蕾) dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”
On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale(呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible(隐形的) cloud around you head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.
Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat, ”Your inner ear thinks your’re falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying-that’s why some people feel sick.” Within a couple days-truly terrible days for some-astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.
Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts return home, and, more
importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.
32.What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?
A. Deciding on a proper sleep position
B. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag
C. Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly
D. Finding a right time to go to sleep
33.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when .
A. the y circle around on their bikes
B. they use microcomputers without a stop
C. they exercise in one place for a long time
D. they watch a movie while pedaling
34.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because .
A. their senses stop working
B. they have to stand up straight
C. they float out of their seats unexpectedly
D. their brains receive contradictory messages
35.One of the NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is .
A. how much exercise they do on the station
B. how they can remain healthy for long in space
C. whether they can recover after returning home
D. whether they are able to go back to the station

Holiday gift buying can feel a little empty, when all of those endless lists, long lines at the shopping center and dollars spent lead to a 5-minute excitement of flying wrapping paper. 36 The following tips can help make gift giving more meaningful for both the giver and the receiver.
1. Know the person
The most important thing in the exchanging of gifts is that it shows you really know the person well, and you really care about them 37 .
2. Donate in their name
38 . Research suggests that happier people give more to others, and that giving more makes people happier. Moreover, charity-related happiness is highest when people give in a way that promotes social connection. So, try giving to the less fortunate in someone’s name this holiday season.
3. Give handmade goods or hand-me-downs
39 A study suggests that people feel that homemade items show more love, and love is
what they want to express to the gift receiver.
Family heirlooms(传家宝) may be another good gift option. A 2009 study found that when families hand down even a very depersonalized thing-money-through the generations, the symbolic value of the cash is greater than the numerical value alone.
4. Provide chances for participation
If there’s a golden rule of gifts, though, it’s this: 40 . People who receive experiential gifts, such as concert tickets or a zoo membership, feel more connected to the gift-giver than people who received material gifts.
A. But it doesn’t have to be that way
B. Give experiences rather than objects
C. New and store-bought is not always best
D. That is always beyond their expectation
E. That means catering to(迎合) another’s pleasure
F. Giving gifts to friends or to charity is linked to happiness
G. Start listing every person you plan to give a holiday gift
