   Not listening or not paying attention in lessons 

   Wearing unsuitable clothes for school 

   Punishments in the UK schools 

   Here are some of the ways that the UK school children can be punished.

   Exclusion (開除) :a pupil is excluded from the school and cannot come back. The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education ( home tutor (家庭教師) , special center for difficult pupils) .

   Suspension (停課) :when a pupil is suspended they cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their case. Suspension can last from 1 to 45 days in a school term. The school usually gives work to do at home with a tutor (special teacher) .

   Detention (阻留) :a pupil is detained. This means he or she is asked to stay at school at the end of the school day. The pupil must work for 30 minutes or an hour more before they are allowed to leave the school.

   Lines: a pupil has to write a sentence many times (100 times) on a sheet of paper : An example sentence : I must not shout in class. This punishment is sometimes given during detention too.

 如果違反紀律在你們學校會受到怎樣的處罰?本文詳 細地介紹了英國學校的紀律。介紹了哪些屬于不良行為,哪 些屬于被處罰的行為以及處罰的方式。

1. B同義猜測題。根據(jù)前一句提到的discipline,可猜測step out of line意為“不遵守紀律”。

2. A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第七段“Not doing homework (but except you left your homework at home) ” 可知,忘記帶家庭作業(yè)不在被老師認為犯嚴重錯誤之列。

3. B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)尾段特別是“This punishment is sometimes given during detention too. ”可知,一個學生 如果受到了 detention或是lines的處罰,都可能會抄寫 一個句子很多次。

4. B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)“The school usually gives work to do at home with a tutor ( special teacher ) .”可知,接受 suspension處罰的學生不只是自學,還會有特殊的老師 指導。

5. C主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,本文主要介紹了英閏學校的紀律問題。

   Do you love taking photos with a camera? People who always take photos may actually be harming their memory,because they’re not concentrating on the event itself.

   “People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly (不費心思地) to catch a moment,and they are missing what is happening right in front of them ,” said Linda Henkel,from the university. Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened a visitor's memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum,and either take photos of the items on display,or try to remember them. The next day,the group was tested.

   People who took photos in the museum were less likely to remember what they had seen. In addition,the amount of detail they remembered was worse than those who didn't take photos. “These results show how the mind's eye and the camera's eye are not the same,” said Henkel.

   But don't put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event,compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo,just think: is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes,or behind the eye of the camera?

1. When we take photos,we .

   A. fail to focus on the event itself

   B. can't record the details

   C. remember what we have seen

   D. are likely to have a poor memory

2. The underlined word “weakened” in the passage probably means “”.

   A. 支持   B. 撫養(yǎng)

   C. 增強   D. 減弱

3. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment?

   A. It aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.

   B. They asked a group to take photos of everything in the museum.

   C. People who didn't take photos did better in the experiment.

   D. People who took photos in the museum could remember more details.

4. Where can we probably read this passage?

   A. The entrance of a museum.

   B. A scientific report.

   C. An instruction of how to use a camera.

   D. A guidebook on how to take good pictures.

   People used to think that taking a gap year was negative (消極的) . In the past you took a gap year if you had to retake exams or had problems between finishing school and starting higher education. But now,universities positively (肯定地) encourage a gap year,and employers are happy to give jobs to students who take a gap year. A gap year can give young people useful learning experience,help them pick up new skills and make them more independent.

   Young people in formal education usually take a gap year when they are about eighteen years old,before going to university. They can also be taken at a different time,for example,by someone who wants to break up their degree course or to do something different before a postgraduate (研究生) course.

   Many gap year students choose to do voluntary (志愿的) work. Popular gap year activities for young people are looking for adventure. Lots of gap year students just want to see more of the world.

   Jenny Gonzalez is excited to go to school these days. The 13-year-old from South Gate Middle School in Los Angeles,the US,is taking care of three green abalones (鮑魚) at school.

   The students of Violeta Llamas’ science class,including Jenny,have cared for the sea animals since January. The class formed eight teams. Each team takes turns to care for the abalones. Team five— Jenny,Alexis Diaz,Jennifer Gonzalez and Ricardo Beltran一have now got their turn.

   The abalones are kept in a box of seawater. Every day Alexis,12, checks if the water has too much salt. Too much salt is bad for the health of abalones. Jenny makes fresh saltwater.

   Nancy Caruso,a scientist,leads the project. She said the number of green abalones along the state's coast is going down because people have caught too many of them. She said protecting the sea is now up to the next generation—young students.

   The students love taking care of the abalones,said Llamas. u This could open the door for them to want to be a sea life scientist or an environment protector ,” she said.
