    Frederick M. Hess is the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, which is a nonprofit organization that conducts research on many public issues. He says that a long summer vacation doesn't make sense in today's world.

     Can American students afford to take a summer vacation? In a summer vacation, millions of kids spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doing shopping in the mall. They will also be putting their academic futures at risk.

     Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn't need an education to get a good job. But now things have changed. For today's students, academic skills are important to students' future success, but such skills ate affected in the summertime. Many nations don't give kids an American-style summer vacation. They offer no more than seven consecutive(连续的) weeks of vacation. Most American school districts offer up to thirteen weeks. To compete in the global marketplace, Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.

     Summer vacation also causes challenges for today's families. In the 1960s, more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home Mom. Now two-thirds of American children live in households where every adult works. For these families, summer vacation can be more burden than break. Someone must watch the kids.

     But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement. Researchers have found that disadvantaged students lose significant ground in the summertime.

     A longer school year does not have to be an invitation to hard boring work. Rather, it should allow time-pressed teachers to conduct richer and more imaginative lessons. Schools would have more time to devote to athletics, languages, music and the arts. Summer vacation can be a grand thing. But in the 21st century, it may also be outdated.

Throughout history, people from many different countries and cultures have lived together in Britain.61. That is why English is a language with so many confusing rules. The English language is made up of the rules and vocabulary each group of people brought to Britain with them.

62. 古英语与我们今天所说的英语大不相同. The invasion of three Germanic tribes helped create the language Anglo-Saxon. Then the Vikings invaded Britain. They brought with them their languages, which also mixed with Anglo-Saxon. 63. The language they created is what we now call Old English. By the 10th century, Old English became the official language of England.

Middle English is the name given to the English used from around the 12th to the 16th century. The French ruled England for 250 years during this period. 64. 正因为如此,法语对英语有很大影响。Many English words we use today come from French.

Modern English began during the Renaissance in the 16th century. Because of this, Modern English includes many Latin and Greek words. However, this is not the end of the changes in the English language. 65. It is certain that this process will continue, and people will keep inventing new words and new ways of saying things.

In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, 61.他们发现月亮上到处都是地下城市. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you travelling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”

H.G. Wells could only imagine the travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings did land on the moon. 62. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people”asked is still an interesting one. 63. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.

Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, 64. 有许多地下购物区. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now completed.

But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of

underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.

Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use dying Earth’s space. 65. They say the surface can be used for farms, parks, and gardens. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?
