When my daughter was in the fifth grade, she came home from school almost every night with three or more hours of homework. It was my duty to help her get it done. One night she worked until midnight doing her homework.
I felt annoyed, but I didn’t want the teacher to think I was lazy. So I never complained. I wasn’t sure, but it seemed to me that five hours of homework was a hit too much for a fifth-grade student.
Later, I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for more than a century. Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in today's world. Some educators see homework as a way to help students perform better in tests,
Other parents dislike the recent trend toward more homework. They don't want to stay up until midnight helping their children. They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children. Added to the opposition are those who say that homework increases the gap(差距) between the rich and the poor. That's because middle class families do better when it comes to helping their children with their homework.
So, who is right? Is homework an enemy or a help? According to experts the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
24. The writer thought that her daughter's homework_______.
A. was too difficult B. was too much to finish
C. was done more carefully than other students'
D. could be done as long as she helped her
25. The writer never complained to the teacher because_______.
A. she was too angry to talk with the teacher
B. she did not like complaining
C. she was afraid of being thought lazy
D. her daughter would be annoyed if she complained
26. People who are against more homework believe that _______.
A. it hurts the poor more than the rich
B. parents are too busy to help children with their studies
C. it increases the gap between parents and children
D homework can' t help children learn at all
27. In the last paragraph, experts________.
A. think middle school students should do lots of homework
B. haven't come up with any idea to solve this problem
C. think homework should be given, but not too much
D. support the idea that homework is good for student
(C)
Tea is used to make chai( 奶茶). So the difference between chai and tea is that chai is a different hot caffeinated(咖啡因的) drink that uses tea as a base. Chai is sometimes known as Indian tea and is popular in many parts of the world
The major difference between chai and tea is that tea is made in water while the usual way of making chai is to put tea leaves in milk. Tea that is the base for chai is made from the top leaves of the tea bush. The country that grows and exports( 出口) the most tea in the world is India, with China a close second. India's tea is in such need that Indians don’t have much of a chance to drink it. At times Indians have no choice but to drink tea bought from Indonesia
Black tea chai is the most common, but there is also green tea, and white tea, which are considered too hard to deal with the spices( 香料 )and milk needed to make chai. Yellow tea is like green tea but needs more time to dry. Usually, chai is made with hot milk, but some people prefer a blend of one quarter milk and three quarters of water.
Chai tastes strong enough, which is why you might want to make your own chai in case your hosts seem a little too happy. You can make your chai by placing sugar and a quarter cup of milk in a cup with a half a teaspoon of spices. You then place a good quality teabag in it and then pour boiling water. Wait for three minutes and settle down for a sweet delight.
28. What is the main difference between chai and tea?
A. Tea is made in water while chai is made in milk
B. Tea is made from the top leaves while chai isn't
C. Chi usually contains caffeine while tea doesn't
D. Chai is from India but tea is from other countries.
29. Why don't Indians have much of a chance to drink tea?
A. Almost all their tea is exported B. They are too busy to make chai
C. It is difficult for them to buy tea D. They produce less tea sometimes.
30. What kind of chai is the easiest to make?
A. Yellow tea chai B. Black tea chai. C. Green tea chai D. White tea chai
31. What does the underlined word "blend" in Para. 3 mean?
A. Food that is very delicious B. Method that is very useful
C. Something mixed together. D. Something that is Interesting.
(D)
Look around and you'll see people busy on their smartphones. Smart phones do make our lives easier. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?
According to a study, half of British people own smartphones and they spend an average of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increasing in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.
Staring at smartphones for long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark room before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma(青光眼).
While you’re probably not going to stop using your smartphones, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimeters away from your eyes when using it. Take a break every hour and try the following: look at
something at least five meters away from you and then focus on the tip of your nose. Repeat this several times, it should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.
32. The article is mainly about _______.
A. the rules to obey when using smartphones
B. the harm that smartphones do to users’ eyes
C. the reasons why teenagers get shortsightedness
D. advantages and disadvantages of smartphones
33. From Paragraph 2, we learn that _______
A. half of the British people began to use smartphones 18 years ago
B. each of the British people spends two hours a day on smartphones
C. more British people have suffered from shortsightedness since 1997
D. the number of British people who own smartphones increases by 35%
34. Which of the following is suggested by the writer?
A Don't use the phone for over an hour without a break
B Hold the phone at least half a meter away from the eyes
C. Turn off your phone for a couple of hours every day.
D. Look at something green far away for several minutes.
35. This article is written to advise people_______.
A. not to buy smartphones B. to stop using smartphone
C. to make full use of smartphones D. to use smartphones properly
