【题目】Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.

【1】 Make a study time and have it at the same time every day. This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.

4 Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair.

【题目】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。

A

There are no signs of little green men on Mars. But new discoveries offer a bit more hope that some form of life existed there in the past --- and perhaps is still there in the present. Methane gas(甲烷) and water have been found on the Red Plane. The presence of both suggests at least the possibility of life.

According to a new report in the journal, Science, the Mars rover, Curiosity, has detected spikes of methane in the Martian atmosphere. This gas is also found in the Earth’s atmosphere, and comes from animal and plant life, as well as from the environment itself. If there’s methane in Mar’s atmosphere, where is it coming from? Scientists aren’t sure. But it marks a big change. In September 2013, Curiosity found almost no traces of methane in the Martian air. Just weeks later, however, the rover picked up a whiff of(一点点) the gas.

The scientists don’t know whether the methane spikes are caused by some form of biological matter or by the geology of the planet. Christopher Chyba, a professor of astrophysics and international affairs at Princeton, says it’s best not to be too hopeful about biology on the Red Planet. “Hopes for biology on Mars have had a way of disappearing once Martian chemistry has been better understood,” he says. “But figuring out what’s responsible for the methane is clearly a key astrobiological objective --- whatever the answer turns out to be.”

The discovery of water on Mars is nothing new. For decades, scientists have had evidence that it flowed across the surface of the planet billions of years ago. But according to another new report in Science, while the surface water on Mars seems to be long gone, there’s a lot more of it left than most of people realize.

This report is also based on findings from Curiosity. Paul Mahaffy, of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, led the study. He says there is enough water on Mars “to cover the surface to a depth of about 165 feet.”

It is not easy to reach this water. Most of it is locked up in ice at the planet’s poles.

【1Why do scientists think there might be life on Mars?

A. Because the Mars rover has detected water on the planet.

B. Because there is evidence that little green men exist on the planet.

C. Because the Mars rover has found some plants on the planet.

D. Because both methane and water have been found on the planet.

【2】What is the attitude of professor Christopher Chyba towards life on Mars?

A. Optimistic B. Negative

C. Neutral D. Indifferent

【3】The water on Mars _______________.

A. still flows on its surface

B. covers the whole planet

C. is locked up in ice at the planet’s poles

D. only existed on it billions of years ago

【4】In which column of a website can we read this text?

A. Culture B. Entertainment

C. Science D. Education

【题目】Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.

In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for allone can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough. We find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree. They refuse to do what they think “low” work, and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.

In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

【1】 The writer of the passage thinks that _________.

A. education can settle most of the world's problems

B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world

C. free education won't help to solve problems

D. all the social problems can't be solved by education

【2】 The writer wants to prove that _________.

A. our society needs all kinds of jobs

B. our society needs free education for all

C. a farmer is more important than a professor

D. people with university degrees earn more money

【3】 The purpose of education is _________.

A. to choose officials for the country

B. to prepare children mainly for their future life

C. to prepare children for well-paid jobs

D. to build a perfect world

【4】 According to the passage,________.

A. work with hands is dirty and shameful

B. work with hands is low work

C. work with hands is the most important

D. we can't regard work with hands as low work
