Homework is a great way for kids to develop independent, lifelong learning skills, so here are some general
homework tips for parents:
● Make sure your child has a quiet, well-lit place to do homework.
Avoid having your child do homework with the television on or in places with other distractions, such as
people coming and going.
● Make sure the materials your child needs, such as some paper, pencils and a dictionary, are available.
Ask your child if special materials will be needed for some projects and get them in advance.
● Help your child with time management.
Establish a set time each day for doing homework. Don"t let your child leave homework until just before
bedtime. Think about using a weekend morning or afternoon for working on big projects, especially if the
project involves getting together with classmates.
● Be positive about homework.
Tell your child how important school is. The attitude you express about homework will be the attitude
your child acquires.
● When your child asks for help, provide guidance, not answers.
Giving answers means your child will not learn the material. Too much help teaches your child that when
the going gets rough, someone will do the work for him or her.
Cooperation with the teacher. It shows your child that the school and home are a team. Follow the
directions given by the teacher.
● Reward progress in homework.
If your child has been successful in homework completion and is working hard, celebrate that success
with a special even (e.g. pizza, a walk, a trip to the park) to reinforce the positive effort. |

parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a
wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible
results for many students who are not gifted (有天赋的) enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school
but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students felt that they are hated by
everyone else they meet and they don"t want to go to school any longer. They become dropouts.
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them
in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers" work to
help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the
evenings and on weekends-they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense
of the world.
Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students" hair to their clothes and
things in their school bags. Child psychologists (心理学家) now think that such strict rules are harmful to
the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with
others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents. | | 1. "Dropouts" are those who _____. | | [ ] | A. make troubles in and out of schools
B. go about or stay home instead of being at school
C. try hard but always fails in the exams
D. lose hope and give up some of their subjects | | 2. According to the passage, it"s necessary to teach students _____. | | [ ] | A. how to study well
B. how to get on with others
C. to show love and care for others
D. All above | | 3. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? | | [ ] | A. The Trouble in Japanese Schools

necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here"s how.
1) Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have
to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping,
dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don"t forget to set aside enough time for
entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is
happening to your time.
2) Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which
may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios,
or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
3) Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers
say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher
says.
4) Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review (回顾) the important
points that your teacher taught in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day,
read that material and it will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
5) Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about
a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won"t end if you don"t pass a test, so
don"t be overly worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many
others after you have tried these. | How to become a better student

| | 阅读理解。 | In my long years of teaching, I often ask my student to read the texts until they can recite them, and I tell
them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing
so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory
and text itself never appears in a test paper.
In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite
a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing
or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of
language situation. How can we say that it is useless?
Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true,
but you don"t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised.
Sure you don"t remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able
to read novels and newspaper. So, recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability. | | 1. The writer often asks his students to recite the texts, ______. | | [ ] | A. But they don"t like to do so

D. The students take no interest in English. | | 4. When the students are against his suggestion, the writer ______. | | [ ] | A. often criticizes them

Reciting the texts can greatly improve the classroom teaching. | | 阅读理解。 | Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that
men"s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.
The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women"s longevity may be linked
to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
"We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,"
said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
"Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third
of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process."
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old
woman"s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one"s.
"This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink. They
studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons
to remove the confusing influence of disease."The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the
male heart," said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed
that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age. | | 1. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to "_____". | | [ ] | A. health
B. long life
C. ageing
D. effect | | 2. The text mainly talks about _____. | | [ ] | A. men"s heart cells
B. women"s ageing process
C. the gender difference
D. hearts and long life | | 3. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that _____. | | [ ] | A. women have more cells than men when they are born
B. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat
C. the female heart loses few of the cells with age
D. women never lose their pumping power with age | | 4. If you want to live longer, you should _____. | | [ ] | A. enable your heart to beat much faster
B. find out the reason for ageing
C. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy
D. prevent your cells from being lost | | 阅读理解。 | In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers
(探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed
their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why," they
asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don"t even use your inner space?"
H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon.
People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the "moon
people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such
as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Chunnel"-a tunnel (隧道)
connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities? Japan"s Taisei Corporation is designed a network of underground
systems, called "Alice Cities." The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using
underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the
whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to
use the earth"s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G.
Wells" "moon people" would agree. Would you? | | 1. The explorers in H. G. Wells" story were surprised to find that the "moon people" ____. | | [ ] | A. knew so much about the earth
B. understand their language
C. lived in so many underground cities
D. were ahead of them in space technology | | 2. What does the underlined word "it" (paragraph 2) refer to? | | [ ] | A. Discovering the moon"s inner space.
B. Using the earth"s inner space.
C. meeting the "moon people" again.
D. Traveling to outer space. | | 3. What sort of underground systems are already here with us? | | [ ] | A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.
B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.
D. Tunnels, gardens, offices. | | 4. What would be the best title for the text? | | [ ] | A. Alice Cities-cities of the future
B. Space travel with H.G. Wells
C. Enjoy living underground
D. Building down, not up |
