Teachers hope that this extra time will give students a chance to learn more．Teachers want their kindergarteners to be able to read and do simple math problems before they go into first grade．They think that this extra time in class will help the students．
Some school districts already have these longer days．Some schools still have the shorter days．This district wants to try the longer days to see if it will help their students become better prepared for first grade．

Some people think that a full day of kindergarten is too long for such young children．They believe that the kids get too tired．They do not think that kindergarteners should be in school for so long．
This school district is just trying out a longer day for kindergarteners．They want to see how much they can teach the children in the longer day．They also want to see if it is too difficult for the kids to be there for an extra hour and a half．They will decide later if they continue with the longer days or go back to the way it was．

D．eight hours
52．Why is the school district trying to change the time of kindergarten classes？D

D．Because the teachers can teach the children more in the longer day．
53．What does the underlined word"extra"in Paragraph 2mean？B

Make a list
When you get your pocket money，don't get too happy and impulsive（沖動的）．We all have a lot of things that we want．But do you really need them that much？That's why it is suggested making a list before spending money．Start with the thing you want m（82）ost．You can also write down about how much it costs or how important it is in your life．By doing this，you will see if it is n（83）ecessaryto buy it．
Help others

Save as much as you can．
There is an old saying，"Money doesn't grow on trees．"If you spend all your pocket money all at once，you'll have no money u（86）ntillyour next"pay day"．Wallets sometimes might not be the best place to save as they tempt you into spending your money．Get a piggy bank or ask your parents to start a savings account for you．Someday when you look b（87）ack，you'll get a strong sense of achievement by saving so much by yourself!Just remember，every penny counts．

5．How do you eat potatoes？Potato chips and potato stewed with beef are popular choices．But can you imagine that in the future potatoes will be served as a staple food （主食） on your table？Potatoes are becoming China's fourth staple food after rice，wheat and corn，according to the Ministry of Agriculture in January，2015．This is a welcome move to make Chinese people's staple food more balanced and diversified （多樣的）．
But why is potato the choice？
Potatoes are healthy and nutritious．They are a good source of vitamin C and potassium （鉀）．A potato's vitamin C is as rich as 10 apples．What's more，potatoes are low in calories，only three fourths of the same amount of wheat and corn．So if you are worried about your weight，you can try changing to potatoes．
Also，potatoes are easy to grow．They can be grown in the north and south during winter，spring and autumn．The plant is also able to bear drought．With China facing water shortages，potatoes can become a safe and reliable food．And some products made of potatoes can be stored longer than other staple foods．Flour that is made of potato can be stored for as long as 15 to 20 years，according to Beijing Times．
With these advantages，the potato has long been a popular staple food in many Western countries such as the US and UK．They can be made into different foods including bread，cookies and pancakes．
While in China，because of Chinese eating habits，the potato will be cooked differently．It will be made into noodles，steamed bread and other staple foods similar to those made of rice or wheat．
So are you ready to have potato noodles or steamed bread for your next meal？

34．The last sentence of the first paragraph infers thatB．
A．Chinese people will have fewer staple foods
B．Chinese people like to accept potatoes as one of the staple foods   
C．potatoes will become the staple food instead of rice，wheat and corn
D．potatoes chips and potato stewed with beef will make Chinese people's staple food more balanced
35．Dtell（s） us why people choose potatoes as staple food．
A．Paragraph 2     
B．Paragraph 3     
C．Paragraph 4    
D．Paragraph 3 and 4
36．Which of the following statements is TRUE？B
A．An apple's vitamin C is much more than a potato's．
B．Calories of potatoes are only 75% of the same amount of wheat and corn．
C．Potatoes can be grown in the north and south all year around．
D．Flour made of wheat can be stored longer than that made of potato
37．According to the passage，we can learn thatA．
A．a(chǎn) lot of western countries have used potatoes as staple food
B．people need a lot of water to grow potatoes to make them safe
C．to meet Chinese taste，potatoes will be made into bread，cookies and pancakes
D．Chinese eating habits will be changed because potato will be cooked differently．
