1．Have you ever looked toward the sky on a fall day and witnessed a group of migrating birds？If so，you probably noted the V-shaped formation of the birds or the birds flying in a ball-like formation．Why do birds fly this way？Many theories have been developed to explain the formation patterns of different types of birds．
One theory is that birds fly in certain formations to take advantage of the laws of nature．The birds know that flying in a V-shaped pattern will save energy．Like the lead cyclist in a race who decreases wind force for the cyclists who follow，the lead bird cuts wind force for the birds that follow．This decrease in wind force means that the birds use up to 70percent less energy during their flight．When the lead bird becomes tired，a more rested bird takes over that position．
But saving energy is important for more than one reason．Sometimes food is short during migration flights．Keeping energy enables the birds to fly longer distances between meals．
When food is sighted，the birds guide one another in a different way．When a bird identifies a familiar feeding area，it might turn around in order to signal the group to change direction．Then，this bird becomes the new leader．It helps guarantee that other birds will know exactly where it is going．Then the whole group makes a change in direction，gently streaming from the sky down to the ground．This formation is like an arrow pointing to the location of food．
Scientists have also studied the birds that sometimes fly in a ball-like formation．Researchers believe that the birds come together if a predator（天敌） is spotted．The predator may then become impatient waiting for a single bird to fly away from the group．The birds will often dip and dive as a group，frustrating even the most persistent enemy．Scientists report that this is a very effective method of defense against an attack．
The birds care for their fellow fliers through teamwork．As transportation expert Henry Ford once said，"If everyone is moving forward together，then success takes care of itself．"When it comes to teamwork，these feathered fliers are a soaring success!

A．move faster than cyclists

5．It is found that American students spend less than 15% of their time in school．While there's no doubt that school is important，a number of recent studies reminds us that parents are even more so．A study published earlier this month by researchers at North Carolina State University，for example，finds that parental involvement-checking homework，attending school meetings and events，discussing school activities at home-has a more powerful influence on students'academic performance than anything about the school the students attend．Another study，published in the Review of Economics and Statistics，reports that the effort put forth by parents （reading stories aloud，meeting with teachers） has a bigger impact on their children's educational achievement than the effort devoted by either teachers or the students themselves．And a third study concludes that schools would have to increase their spending by more than $1，000 per pupil in order to achieve the same results that are gained with parental involvement．
So parents matter．But it is also revealed in researches that parents，of all backgrounds，don't need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give them an advantage．They don't need to drive their offspring to enrichment classes or test-preparation courses．What they need to do with their children is much simpler：talk．
But not just any talk．Recent research has indicated exactly what kinds of talk at home encourage children's success at school．For example，a study conducted by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health and published in the journal Pediatrics found that two-way adult-child conversations were six times as potent in promoting language development as the ones in which the adult did all the talking．Engaging in this reciprocal（双向的） back-and-forth gives children a chance to try out language for themselves，and also gives them the sense that their thoughts and opinions matter．
The content of parents'conversations with kids matters，too．Children who hear talk about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge，report researchers from the University of Chicago．While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older，the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remains strong．Research finds that parents play an important role in what is called"academic socialization"-setting expectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals．Engaging in these sorts of conversations has a greater impact on educational accomplishment．
72．Parents are even more important than schools in thatD．
A．parental involvement makes up for what schools are not able to do
B．teachers and students themselves do not put in enough effort
C．parental involvement saves money for schools and the local government
D．students may well make greater achievements with parents'attention
73．It can be inferred from the 2nd paragraph thatC．
A．educational toys are unaffordable nowadays
B．digital devices can give children an advantage
C．some parents believe in enrichment classes
D．talking with children is a very simple task
74．The word"potent"is closest in meaning toA．
A．powerful       B．difficult       C．necessary                D．resistant
75．Which of the following will more encourage children's success at school according to the passage？B
A．Parents order their children to stop playing video games．
B．Parents discuss with their children the possible future career．
C．Parents lecture their children on getting too low marks on tests．
D．Parents introduce colleges around the US to their children．
15．There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding．（71）E
The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers，magazines，or anything else．（72）CSuch materials may increase our store of information，but they cannot improve our understanding．And clearly we don't have any difficulty in gaining the new information，for our understanding was equal to them before we started．Otherwise，we would have felt the shock of puzzlement．
The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand．Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader．The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader's understanding．（73）B Otherwise one person could never learn from another．Here"learning"means understanding more，not remembering more information．
What are the conditions in this kind of reading？First，there is inequality in understanding．（74）D Besides，his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack．Second，the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree．And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer．If the equality is approached，success of communication is achieved．
（75）G It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort．Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to．In fact，any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well．

A．The writer should have a better communicating skill．
B．Such communication between unequals must be possible．
C．We can get access to the content of those materials easily．
D．The writer must be"superior"to the reader in understanding．
E．Thus，we can employ the word"reading"in two distinct senses．
F．Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information．
G．Besides gaining information and understanding，there's another goal of reading-entertainment．
