【题目】 Until two weeks ago, sixth graders could be found playing football. Recess(课间休息)was a time to play, learn, and exercise. Then, football was banned for being “too dangerous”. Now you'll find us lying on the grass and wishing for something to fill our time with.

Football is a good source of exercise. The TIME for Kids article, “Fighting Fat in Kids,”talks about different ways to fight obesity(肥胖).1We need football so we don't grow up to be unhealthy and get diseases like diabetes or heart disease.

2With big teams it doesn't leave anyone out like other games Just picture it: Every child in sixth grade can be invited to play together! Whether you are a great player or a beginner, there is always a place for you on the team!

Some people think football is only for boys.3Out of 25 kids, including boys and girls, all will say they want to play football. Even my mom and sister love to play. This shows that football is a valuable part of recess and should not be banned.

Football helps us learn important things.4Sometimes during the game both teams argue because they think they should get the point. This gives kids a chance to work out their problems on their own and make a solution.

Please allow football again at recess.5We will get more exercise, we will build community, and we will learn important skills. These are lessons we need, and as long as we are careful, we can be safe. Please take the football ban away and let us play again.

A. In fact, that's not true.

G. Football is a dangerous sport with injuries happening frequently to the head.

【题目】If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me.1

The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.2We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.

I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.3Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.

4 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.

5 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.

A.I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.

B.Things are going to be improved.

C.I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.

D.The trip they took me on was a rough one.

E.After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.

F. This time there was no tent.

G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

【题目】 They block entrances, crowd street corners and tip onto their sides, turning a convenient form of transportation into a sidewalk danger that is particularly dangerous for the elderly and disabled.

Now a new California company is working on a possible solution for stopping the chaos caused by electric scooters(滑板车)in cities around the country. The company, known as Swift mile, has unattended charging stations for e-scooters that are designed to serve as a place where riders can park the scooters between rides. The company’s founder, Colin Roche, said the sola-powered charging stations-which can accommodate any brand of e-scooter-are most suitable for areas that are often crowded with the scooters, such as bus and subway stations.

As the weather warms and ridership increases, that struggle is expected to intensify. On one. side of the debate, experts say, are cities whose leaders want to reduce traffic and encourage alternative, environmentally-friendly patterns of transportation to battle against climate change and promote innovation(创新). Some local officials also fear that restricting scooter companies will cast cities in an outdated light, discouraging technology companies from doing business there in the future. On the other side of the debate are critics who have complained about e-scooter companies for blocking walkways and selling a product whose use has led to thousands of injuries among riders and pedestrians, many of them severe.

Pat Burt, a former Palo Alto mayor who is currently advising Swift mile, said the future of e-scooters could depend heavily on what happens in 2019. Cities have identified the benefits of e-scooters as well as the. drawbacks, which could become existential for the companies. “If the. safety and other problems aren’t addressed, I think cities will restrict them even more, “he said. “But there’s a good chance scooters will be adopted universally if these problems get solved. ”
