 【小题1】 
Today,kids have more worries and face more pressures than ever before. Here are a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school.
●Create a personal schedule
Recording everything that must be done on a calendar or “to do” list will help him to keep track of important dates and deadlines. If he keeps it in a visible place he will have no problem acknowledging upcoming events and will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time.
●Watch the clock
 【小题2】  I also recommend setting his clock or watch five minutes ahead since it's always easy to run late. When it comes to something like catching a bus,just five minutes can make a significant difference.
●Focus
He should train himself to be able to concentrate alone on one specific task. This is much easier in a noise­free environment. No TV or radio should be on to distract him.
 【小题3】 
Lack of sleep is proven to harm us physically. The more sleep we get,the more alert we are. We thus have more energy to handle life's daily tasks. The average adult needs at least six hours of sleep a night and the average child needs at least eight.
●Stay in shape
Through spending time outdoors or playing sports with friends,he can “blow off some steam” so to speak,as well as re­energize. 【小题4】 
●Talk through your problems
Be able to share his concerns with you.  【小题5】  If you make it clear that you understand him and are willing to help,not only will you contribute to his emotional health but you'll help build an open and honest relationship as well.

A.Sharing feelings often makes them easier to deal with.
B.Help your child work better to realize his aim.
C.Setting an alarm for the morning is a must.
D.Get enough sleep.
E.Help your child do better in school.
F.Encourage your child to be positive.
G.Encourage him to get outside.

Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear.    1.    We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.

Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.

Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide.    2.   

The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts. That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube.    3.  

First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole.

   4.   

Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water level easily.

   5.   

As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the level in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water level in the straw each morning for a week.

A.Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.

B.We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.

C.Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal (把……粘住) them together.

D.The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.

E.They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.

F.Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.

G.People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.

 

第三部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

This week in our Foreign Student Series,we talk about getting an American education online.A student named Hendra has written to us from Indonesia asking about a good online university.Finding the right online program requires research.Talking to advisers and recruiters(招募者)can help.Keep in mind,though,that they might have a financial interest to direct you to certain programs.

The Council on Higher Education Accreditation(CHEA)recognizes a group in Washington,D.C.,to accredit(授权)schools that offer distance learning.One hundred and ten programs in the United States and six other countries are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council.

We asked the executive director,Michael Lambert,for advice on choosing a distance learning program.He says the first thing is to go on the CHEA Web site to find if a school is accredited.The address is c-h-e-a dot o-r-g.Next,make sure the school offers what you need.Do you need a degree,or will a certificate or license be enough?

Another consideration is cost.Often the published price does not include all the costs --like books.Technology requirements can also add to the costs.Will you need to get new software or a high-speed Internet connection or even a new computer to take the classes you want?

Also,consider the level of interaction that an online program offers.You might never meet the teacher or other students in person.

Finally,and this is our own advice,find out what others say on the Internet for comments or news stories about schools that interest you.Just remember that what people say is not always fair or true.
