答案： 39-42 BA CD　

C

IMAGINE A classroom missing one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing? Paper. No notebooks , no textbooks, no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical(关键的) moment.

Students don’t any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm(手掌) size, or specially designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer.

Having computers also means that students can use the Web . They can look up information on any subject they’re studying !

High school teacher Judy Harrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afghanistan over one year ago.

“We could touch every side of the country through different sites, from the forest to refugee camps(难民营) ,” she said . “ Using a book that’s three or four years old is impossible.”

A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper . High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give 900 pieces of paper each week to each student.

But, with all this technology, there’s always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.

答案：36-38 CAB

B

Emily and Madison were having a great time on their field trip . After a morning at the science museum they went to their favorite fast food place . Emily got her food first . When Madison sat down next to her , Emily couldn’t believe her eyes . Madison had two hamburgers , three containers of French fries , an apple pie , a soda , and a shake on her tray .

“Why do you have so much food?” Emily asked . “I’m so tired of being really skinny(极瘦的) ,” Madison said , “so I’ve decided to eat lots of food and try to gain weight.”

Trying to gain weight by stuffing(塞，填) yourself with extra calories like Madison did is a bad idea . It can make you sick if you’re naturally short or thin- so just listen to your appetite(胃口) and eat only as much as your body tells you to . Once in a while , a health problem can keep a kid from gaining weight . The kid usually goes to a specialist who can check things out , or to a registered dietitian(饮食学家) who has lots of tips on how to eat well . But most of the time , thin kids don’t need to see a doctor or go on a special diet .

Here’s another surprise . Kids who are thin need to exercise . A lot of people use exercise to keep their weight under control or to lose weight . But exercise serves many other purposes , too . Moving around helps you develop important skills and helps your body get stronger . And unless a kid has gone through puberty(青春期) , weight-lifting won’t build bigger muscles . It also could hurt bones , joints , and muscles .

You want to help your body , not hurt it . Treat it right and you’ll grow and develop just the way you should .
