根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

The revision period is, arguably, the most difficult part of any exam process．The exam itself–usually between one and three hours． 1. However, the knowledge that it is the culmination of the entire process should provide some comfort．A well-structured revision plan can help you revise well．Below are my top tips for creating a well-structured and comprehensive revision plan, which will provide the best chance of success in the summer.

1． 2.

It ought to go without saying that planning your revision timetable must be done before anything else, to ensure there is enough time for comprehensive coverage of all subjects．With most exams starting at the end of June, the revision plan should be in place by the end of March at least.

2．Continual assessment

3. In order to chart (跟踪记录) your development effectively, we recommend that our students attempt practice papers in each subject, marked according to the relevant mark scheme and curriculum.

3．Order your subjects strategically

4. Ordering your subjects in an effective manner can help to do this．For example, scheduling English revision to appear early in your revision plan may provide useful when revising essay-based subjects such as History, Religious Studies and Politics later on.

4．Each subject is different

Depending on your learning style, you may find one easier than the other．More unusual exam types, such as performance exams, require their own unique attention． 5.

A．Besides, your time allocation (分配) may be dependent on your own aptitude in that subject．

B．Make a detailed timetable

C．Pressure and nerves can undoubtedly make it an uncomfortable experience.

D．Revision is a process of improvement.

E．Plan early

F．Starting with a subject that appears early on in the exam schedule is a wise decision.

G．The best revision plans have an element of strategy to their creation.

Our risk of cancer rises rapidly as we age．So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors (肿瘤) or doesn’t it?

While such tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly．With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it s important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing．

In many cases, screening can lead to additional examinations and operations to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not cause serious health problems in patients’ remaining years．But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained (根深蒂固的) that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a noisy reaction among doctors, patients and social groups．

It’s hard to uproot deeply-held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data．Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment．And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or previous personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly．But for the rest, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy．

A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening—especially considering the explosion of the elderly．

It’s not an easy calculation to make, but one that makes sense for patients．Dr．Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves from medical disputes．We need to think about the wise use of health care, which means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.”

1.Routine cancer screening for the elderly people makes sense because ______．

A．it is believed to contribute to a long life

B．it is part of their health care package

C．they are more sensitive about the health

D．they are in greater danger of tumor growth

2.How do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly?

A．It adds too much to their medical bills.

B．They are doubtful about necessity.

C．It helps increase their life expectancy.

D．They think it does more harm than good．

3.What is the traditional view about women screening for breast cancer?

A．It is a must for adult women．

B．It applies to women over 50．

C．It is intended for young women.

D．It doesn’t apply to women over 74．

4.What does the writer say is the general view about health care?

A．Better care, longer life

B．Prevention is better than cure.

C．Better early than late.

D．The more, the better．

5.Why do many doctors advise routine screening for cancer?

A．They want to take advantage of the medical care system．

B．They want to protect themselves against medical disputes．

C．They want data for medical research．

D．They want their patients to suffer less．

You are not ________ to unemployment benefit if you have never workeD．

C． entitled D． Submitted

Chinese parents are very generous when it comes to educating their children．Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia． They also want their children to take extra course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life．The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is．So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education．Even poor couples will buy computers for their sons or daughters．

However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give to their children is usually very cheap．

Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others．What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self respect and self confidence．

The reasons are that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills: they need to be confident, happy and clever．

Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework．

Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life．Cooking demands patience and time．It is an enjoyable but difficult experience．A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully．His result, a well cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence．These activities are not only teaching a child to work, but rather to think, and to use his mind． And that is more important．
