Leisure time classes for kids can help bored children learn how to make something new. These classes include building classes and craft classes that are full of fun.
Home Depot
Home Depot's Kids Workshops happen on the first Saturday of every month. Past projects have included model race cars, mail organizers, picture frames, and planters. Classes are free. You' ll have to sign up for the workshops to make sure your child has a spot and that there are enough building materials to go around. These sometimes fill up quickly, so early action is necessary.
Pottery Barn Kids

Michaels
Michaels craft stores host free classes for kids several times a month and sometimes even have weeklong events before big holidays.

Lego Stores
Each month, Lego stores have free events for kids, aged 6-14, to come in and build a mini model. After they've built the mini model, they get to take it home for free. There is a limit of four children per household who can attend, and children must stay for the entire event to take home the Lego kit used for the model. Kits may not be picked up at a later time.

When my family moved to the United States from Colombia, I was 9 years old and knew little about English. As time passed, teachers finally knew all of their students and slowly everyone began to head inside, except for me. No one called out my name, and no one seemed to know I existed. I spent the next month in my new classroom quietly. I felt a wave of fear, loneliness and sadness came over me.
It turned out the school administration never cared that I didn't speak English, but something else was teaching me English. Every morning when my aunt drove me to school and picked me up, she always had 106.7 Light FM on. It was this station that introduced my young ears to the English sounds of R&B, soul, jazz and much more.
Because of Sabrina theTeenage Witch, I learned the difference between"witch"and"which".While watching the TV show SouthPark, I was attracted by the funny characters. I related"You bastards!” to anger and saved it in my mental word bank. In fact, thanks to pop culture, the world of English became readily available to me while it was being turned down at school.
I also learned how to express my emotions thanks to pop culture. One day at school, we were taking a math quiz and the whole class was quiet. Suddenly, the tip of my pencil broke and I yelled, “You bastards!" Everyone held their breath in surprise and I laughed to myself because something at that moment told me I had just learned my first bad word in English.
Four months passed before the school placed me into an ESL program. By this time, I was speaking broken English and making myself understood. Finally, I learned how to speak and write English at a more advanced level, and I owe it all to pop culture.
24. Why did the author feel sad when she moved to the US?
A. She missed her hometown. B. She was ignored at school
C. She was blamed for poor grades. D. She hated learning a new language.
25. How did the author first learn English?
A. By talking with her aunt. B. By working in radio stations.
C. By listening to English songs. D. By making friends with her classmates.
26. How did the author feel after realizing she yelled“You bastards!”?
A Happy. B. Annoyed. C. Surprised. D. Nervous.
27. What can be the best title for this passage?
A. My life experiences in the U.S B. How I fell in love with music
C. Pop culture taught me English D. How I overcame learning difficulties
C
＂For people who are anxious about math，posture（姿势）makes giant difference,”said Professor of Health Education Erik Peper. “The slumped-over（下趴）position shuts them down and their brains do not work well. They cannot think clearly.” Before the study began, students filled out an anonymous questionnaire asking them to rate their anxiety levels while taking exams and performing math；they also described any physical symptoms of stress they experienced during test taking.
According to co-author Associate Professor of Health Education Richard Harvey， slumping over is a defensive posture that can cause old negative memories in the body and brain. While the students without math anxiety did not report as great a benefit from better posture, they did find that doing math while slumping over was somewhat more difficult.“You have a choice,”said Peper. “It’s about using an upright(垂直的) position to improve your focus.”
That upright position could be particularly helpful o students facing the challenge called“stereotype（陈规旧习的）threat”, said Lauren Mason, one of the paper 's authors and a recent SF State graduate. Mason said she has benefited personally from using a more upright posture before taking difficult tests, including math. She believes that adopting a more confident posture could help other first-generation students as well as women entering science and math, who often battle stereotype threat, too.
Mason said the study results prove a simple way to improve many aspects of life, especially when stress is involved, "The way we carry ourselves and interact in space influences not only how others think of us but also how we think of ourselves.”
Peper and Harvey say these findings about body position can help people prepare for many different types of performance under stress, not just math tests Athletes, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture before and during their performance.
28. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?
A. Most students have math anxiety.
B. Slumping over worsens math anxiety.
C. Body position may leave others a certain impression.
D. Students are reported to have benefited greatly from better posture.
29. How can students handle"stereotype threat""?
A. By using confident postures. B. By focusing on difficulties.
C By asking professionals for help. D. By learning from science graduates.
30. What do Mason's words in Paragraph 4 suggest?
A. We should face math problems bravely.
B. Leaving a good impression is important in our life.
C. We need to show a positive attitude to interactions.
D. Changing posture is an easy way to handle stress in life.
31. What is a common idea of Peper and Harvey?
A. Practices of better body position can be widely applied.
B. Different types of posture are necessary to build confidence.
C. Full preparations for types of performance can reduce worries.
D. The upright position can arouse students' interest in school courses.
D
Early childhood is the best possible time to learn a second language. Children who experience two languages from birth typically become native speakers of both. But the question remains: Is it confusing for babies to learn two languages at the same time?
My partners and I recently studied the brain processing of language sounds in 11-month-oldbabies from monolingual(English only) and bilingual (Spanish-English)homes. We found some key differences between babies raised in monolingual versus bilingual homes. At 11 months of age, just before most babies begin to say their first words, the brain recordings showed that: Babies from monolingual English households are specialized to process(处理)the sounds of English, and not the sounds of Spanish, an unfamiliar language. Babies from bilingual Spanish-English households are specialized to process the sounds of both languages, Spanish and English.
Our findings show that babies'brains become sensitive to whatever language or languages they hear from their caregivers. A monolingual brain becomes sensitive to the sounds of one language, and a
bilingual brain becomes sensitive to the sounds of two languages. By 11 months of age,the activity in the baby brain reflects the language or languages that they have been exposed to.
It is now understood that the constant need to shift(转移)attention between languages leads to several cognitive(认知的) advantages. Research has found that bilingual adults and children show an improved executive functioning of the brain that is, they are able to shift attention, switch between tasks and solve problems more easily. There is evidence that being bilingual makes the learning of a third language easier. Further, the effects of two-language experience are thought to translate into protective effects against cognitive decline with aging and the attack of Alzheimer’s disease.
So, if you want your child to know more than one language, it's best to start at an early age, before they even start speaking their first language. It won't confuse your child, and it could even help him/her improve other forms of cognition.
32. What does the study on the 11-month-old babies mainly show us?
A. Babies can learn languages as early as eleven months old.
B. Babies are able to react to the sounds of different languages.
C. Babies refuse to process an unfamiliar language.
D. Babies are gifted in language learning.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Bilingual children may have better learning ability than bilingual adults.
B. Learning a new language can help cure cognitive decline.
C. Bilingual children can focus on one task for long.
D Being bilingual can improve the cognitive ability.
34. In the last paragraph, the author aims to ______.
A. give parents some advice on childcare
B. show us how to begin to learn languages
C. tell us how to improve our cognitive ability
D. give parents tips on children's language learning
35. What can best describe the structure of the passage?
A.①---②③---④---⑤ B.①---②---③---④⑤
C.①---②③④---⑤ D. ①②---③④---⑤

An online interview is a job interview carried out over the Internet. An employer may choose to conduct an online interview in place of an in-person interview. 36It is also more convenient for job applicants because it reduces transportation time and costs.
37 .If the employer is in a different time zone, the applicant must clearly understand the time of the interview. In addition，clarification（说明）is needed on whether the interview will be carried out via a Web meeting, an Internet phone or a live chat.
Testing the computer equipment ahead of time is an important part of preparing for an online interview. If using a Web camera, the applicant can test it to make sure he or she is sitting in a position that allows the full head and face to be visible.38
A remote interview is much like an in-person interview. 39 The interviewee must take great care to dress professionally and remove any unnecessary noise from his location. Any item in the background that may give an unprofessional impression, such as food wrappers or a messy room, should be avoided.
Interviews can cause anxiety for some people. 40 This is because the individual is in the comfort of his or her own home or office. The interviewee should take great care, however, to avoid being too casual in tone or conversation.
A. So a large degree of professionalism is required.
B. This is often done to save the company money and time.
C. Wait for the interviewer to stop speaking before you answer.
D. If a live chat will be used, download the application ahead of time.
E. But an individual might feel more relaxed during an online interview.
F. Unlike other interview situations, you can have some notes in front of you.
G. Preparing for an online interview requires gathering some important information.
