　　Homework is a big part of going to school．Unluckily, homework has to be done, outside class－during the time when you would rather be doing something else, for example, you prefer going to a birthday party to copying out a whole Chinese text．Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less work．

　　First, be sure you understand the task．Write it down in your notebook if you need to, and don't be afraid to ask questions about your task．If you want, you can also ask how long the special homework task should take to finish, so you can budget your time．

　　Second, go over your lessons before you start your homework．Many students think they don't have enough time to finish their homework．So they begin to do it at once without reviewing their lessons．In fact, they will have to spend more time looking up now and then when they do their homework．

　　Third, use any small pieces of time you have in school to work on your homework．The more work you can get done in school means the less you'll have to do that night．

　　What if you don't have time in school to get homework done?You'll need to think about how much homework you have for a given night and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time．Most high school students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night．If it's a heavy homework day, you'll need to spend more time on homework．It's a good idea to come up with some kind of homework timetable, especially when you want to enjoy sports or other activities．

　　Jeanne Calment took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age114．a(chǎn)nd held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121 st birthday．

　　When it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder．She lived to the ripe old age of 122．So is 122 the upper limit(限制)to the human life span(壽命)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150－or beyond?

　　Researchers don't entirely agree on the answers．“Calment lived．to 122, SO it wouldn't sul33rise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas．

　　Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees．“People can live longer than we think．”he says．“Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110．When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 1 20．So why can’t we go higher?”

　　The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing．“Anyone can make up a number．”says Rich Miller at the University, of guessing

　　　Michigan．“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine．”

　　Won’t new anti－aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of HS living until about 120．Researchers are working on treatments that make the life span of mice longer by 50 percent at most．

　　So, if the average(平均)human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,“adding another 50 percent would get you to 120．”

　　So what can we learn from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(有彈性的), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington．“We can get flies to live 50 percent longer．”he says．“But a fly'snever going to live 150 years．”O(jiān)f course, if you became a new species(物種), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds．

　　Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(進(jìn)化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about．”He says with a smile．

(1)

What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us?

[　　]

A．

People can live to 122．

B．

Old people are creative．

C．

Women are sporty at 85．

D．

Women live longer than men．

(2)

According to Steve Austad at the University of Texas, ________

[　　]

A．

the average human life span could be 110

B．

scientists cannot find ways to slow aging

C．

few people can expect to live to over 150

D．

experts aren’t sure how long one can live

(3)

Who thinks that a scientist will become famous if he makes longevity?

[　　]

A．

Jerry Shay．

B．

Steve Austad．

C．

Rich Miller．

D．

George Martin．

(4)

What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?

[　　]

A．

Most of us could be good at sports even at 120．

B．

The average human life span cannot be doubled．

C．

Scientists believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before．

D．

　　Li, a 24-year-old farmer, lives in Liguan village, Songming－about 60km away from Kunming．For the last three months, he has risen early to meet the fire truck because the village's only reservoir(水庫(kù))has dried up．Rain hasn't fallen for six months．

　　The queue is very long by the time Li arrives．About 4,000 thirsty villagers come with their empty buckets and stand behind the truck．
