【题目】Some parents can’t resist the strong desire to help their children play hooky (逃学) for a trip. Five-year-old Erica and her siblings Alex, 9, and Kate, 12, missed school in Denver on Aug. 21, 2017. Their father Mr. Reed took them on a camping trip to Halsey to see the solar eclipse (日食). Kate had told her teachers she’d be absent and Mr. Reed let Erica’s and Alex’s teachers know, too. But he didn’t ask for permission.

Mr. Reed has loved astronomy since seeing Neil Armstrong walk on the moon on his sixth birthday. He says, “I want my own kids to have a similar kind of wonderment and hope about future discoveries.”

Parents often dream of traveling with their children to teach them about science, geography and culture. Many teachers support them, as the Reed children’s teachers did. Other teachers were angry about the extra work.

Teacher Amanda says she feels frustrated when parents take students out of school for family trips. If she sends homework, she finds it’s often returned incomplete or incorrect, because the absent student didn’t hear her explanation in class. Some students suffer anxiety as they struggle to catch up. Research shows that students who are absent often, for any reason—excused or unexcused—performed more poorly in school.

Garrick agreed to miss five days of school for the Antarctic trip last year as a senior high school student, however. Managing the homework was a challenge, but it helped him gain time management skills. “And the trip is worth the effort,” he says, “sparking his interest in international relations. You can’t really put a price on changing your world view,” Garrick says. “That’s what travel has done for me. It has changed how I think about things.”

1What’s the teachers’ attitude toward “playing hooky”?

A. They support it as it offers children hope about future discoveries.

B. It angers them because the homework is often returned incorrect.

C. They hold different kinds of views about playing hooky.

D. They are against it because too many students are absent.

2According to the passage, why do the students have a poorer performance in school?

A. Because they are often absent for any reason.

B. Because they are not interested in study at all.

C. Because they travel with their parents too much.

D. Because they don’t do the homework regularly.

3What benefit did Garrick get from his trip to Antarctica?

A. It made him lose time management skills.

B. It changed little of his world view.

C. It awoke his interest in international relations.

D. It made him more creative.

【题目】阅读理解
Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime“business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant(不相关的). A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years — but unless we meet the truant officer (学监), we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents' demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(构成)“overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how we organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law — as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.
(1)By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be”, the writer means that_______.
A.work time is equal to rest times
B.many people have a day off on Mondays
C.it is hard for people to decide when to rest
D.the line between work time and rest time is unclear
(2)The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people __________.
A.fail to make full use of their time
B.enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C.are unaware of the law of time
D.welcome flexible working hours
(3)According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they ______.
A.need to acquire knowledge
B.have to obey their parents
C.need to find companions
D.have to observe the law
(4)What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Our life is governed by the law of time.
B.How to organize time is not worth debating.
C.New ways of using time change our society.
D.Our time schedule is decided by social customs.
