It’s after 10 a.m. and the kids are still sleeping. It’s Sunday. This is a traditional day of .

Every culture on the planet has one day of rest a week. Some use that time to go church, others sleep, watch TV, and just give themselves the gift of a day. And there are those who that working up a sweat in the backyard is just what the doctor ordered, but I that exact activity.

We need to give ourselves a break, and a little rest well for almost everybody. It doesn’t matter what the activity is. The idea is to give your body, mind, and heart a(n) to relax. If you keep going at full speed every day, it can be really on you, both physically and mentally.

Some people it hard to take a real vacation, let alone a day off. I have seen many people work themselves an early grave because they were too , and some too scared to give themselves a break.

It doesn’t matter what your free time takes. You yourself the gift of a deep breath and a view of the long sunset. Remember that you can’t work well if you’re exhausted (精疲力竭) by stopping to take a rest. Again, it doesn’t matter you do it. This is not about tradition. Find out whatever time works best for you, and a plan.

this and talk it over with others. The idea here is that by giving ourselves a break and just a day off, we can make our lives better and actually create greater things in our world.

When children start kindergarten, evident gaps in science knowledge already exist between Whites and minorities and between youngsters from upper-income and low-income families. And they often deepen into significant achievement gaps by the end of eighth grade if they are not dealt with during elementary school.

The findings suggest that, in order for the United States to maintain(維持) long-term scientific and economic competitiveness in the world, policymakers need to renew efforts to ensure access(n.使用或見到的機(jī)會(huì)，權(quán)利) to high-quality, early learning experiences in childcare settings, preschools and elementary schools.

The researchers’ study tracked 7,757 children from their start in kindergarten to the end of eighth grade. Researchers found that, among kindergarteners with low levels of general knowledge, 62 percent were struggling in science by the time they reached third grade and 54 percent were struggling in that subject in eighth grade. And general knowledge gaps between minorities and Whites were already large at the time when students began kindergarten.

“Children growing up in low-income families typically experience comparatively fewer early opportunities to learn about the natural and social sciences,” the authors wrote. “Their parents often have lower educational levels and therefore less science knowledge themselves as well as fewer resources available to direct the children’s academic growth. Children raised in poverty often attend poorly resourced schools that futher limit their academic opportunities.”

Morgan said that, within families, parents who regularly talk and interact with toddlers(學(xué)步的兒童) can point out and explain physical, natural and social events occurring around them daily. This might help youngsters learn facts and concepts that will prepare them to take better advantage of science instruction they receive during elementary and middle school.

1.Which may be the possible result of the gaps in science knowledge during kindergarten?

A. Children from rich families will behave better in life.

B. Children from minorities may have less desire for learning.

C. Children’s academic performance afterwards will be affected.

D. The gaps will disappear automatically when children grow up.

2.What did the researchers suggest policymakers do?

A. Make superior education available to children.

B. Narrow income gaps between different families.

C. Give extra lessons to children from poor families.

D. Strengthen competitive awareness of kindergarteners.

3.What can parents do to help their toddlers learn?

A. Give them more nutritious food

B. Offer them more learning resources.

C. Let them attend science courses for kids

D. Greate learning opportunities in daily life.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Income Gaps Affect Children’s School Performances

B. Provide More Available Access to Childhood Learning

C. Science Knowledge Gaps Are Obvious in Kindergarten

D. Equal Education Is Important in Kindergarten

It is well-known that good habits do us good. Entered high school, I took delight in having fast food and often eat too much. In the end, I was so serious overweight that I suffered a lot from my awkward appearance. It made matters worse was the fact that my classmates made a fun of me at times. From now on, I made up my mind to avoiding snacks. In the meanwhile, I took off jogging to lose weight. To my surprise, it was not long until I did succeed in creating my new appearance. Only then I start to appreciate the importance of developing a good habit.

The Asuncion zoo is looking for a mate for Coco, an endangered hyacinth macaw （藍(lán)紫金剛鸚鵡）, and it is the last known male of his species left in Paraguay.

Coco was sent to the zoo eight years ago. A recent DNA test showed that he is male. Zoo worker Celia said, “To avoid mixing species, the zoo has had to keep him apart from the other macaws, which has left him lonely and bored.” “He is quite sociable, although he has only learned to say ‘Hello’, but when he hears music, he dances” Celia said.

He has a yellow circle around his eyes that set off the rest of his blue feathers. He is more or less a cousin to Blu, the macaw that starts in the movie, Rio. That species, cyanopsitta-spixii（小藍(lán)金剛鸚鵡）, is all blue and even more endangered than the hyacinth macaw.

Like the bird in the movie, scientists hope to find Coco a mate to rebuild the species. Because international laws against animal training are now so strict, nobody is willing to lend the zoo a female. The best solution is to find a female hyacinth macaw in our country. Celia said, “there are at least two other known hyacinth-macaws but without DNA test, it is impossible to know if they are female, and the owners are not willing to help, because the mating process can take some time and be a little hard on females.”

1.From the text we know that Coco ________.

A. is the last known hyacinth macaw

B. lives apart from the other macaws

C. has adapted to being left alone

D. can say "Hello" when he hears music

2.Why is it difficult to find a mate for Coco?

A. Because there is no known female macaw in Paraguay.

B. Because the international laws are against Coco mating.

C. Because the DNA test on female Coco takes time.

D. Because nobody is willing to hunt for a female.

3.It can be inferred from the text that ________.

A. Coco stars Rio in a movie

B. Coco has only blue feathers on his body

C. Coco is the most endangered macaw

D. rebuilding the Coco's species will take time

4.Which of the following would be the best title?

A. Coco, a Rare Macaw-in Asuncion Zoo

B. Asuncion Zoo Is Seeking a Mate for Coco

C. Hyacinth Macaws Are Endangered in Paraguay

D. Coco, the Only Known Male Macaw in Paraguay

You’ve probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, voice and music teachers, career counselors（咨詢） psychiatrists (精神科醫(yī)師) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.

But there’s a rapidly growing kind of professionals who do a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “ life coach”. People who are at the crossroads in their life, and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost , are turning to them for help.

The idea that one person’s success story can change other people’s life for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carneigie’s famous self-improvement program “ How to Win Friends and Influence People” came along soon thereafter.

But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理療法) to help others make critical life decisions. They often give their approaches a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.

Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one’s career and life outside work.

Lakhani’s Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful---including battered (毆打) women and struggling single mothers.

But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick(華而不實(shí)的) promoters who mess with people’s lives can do more harm than good.

1.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Working Yourself Happy.

B. How to Cope with Daily Life with Life Coaches.

C. Life Coaches Help with Tough Decisions.

D. The Life-Coaching Movement.

2. What is a “l(fā)ife coach”?

A. A career counselor who teaches skills.

B. A psychiatrist who helps us deal with daily life.

C. A fitness coach who teaches us lessons.

D. A specialist who helps us make important life decisions.

3.The last paragraph is mainly about__________.

A. the introductions of life coaches

B. the disagreements of life coaches

C. the effects of life coaches

D. the experiences of life coaches

Five Steps to Better Handwriting

Some kids love handwriting, but others hate when it’s time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them？ 1. Here are five steps that really work!

Get a great grasp

Try this—hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard？But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 2.Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index(食指) and middle fingers.

Let the lines be your guide

Lined paper is your friend！Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion(均衡)．3. Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it’s hard to control where you stop and start your letters.

Lower the pressure

4. That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don’t hold the pencil too tightly.

5.

Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though it’s not schoolwork, you’re still using the skills you need to control your pen better.

A. Play games.

B. Ask for more advice.

C. So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”.

D. You’ve been writing since you were a little kid.

E. Some kids press down really hard when they write.

F. The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.

G. The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.
