Would life be as easy as when your parents are around? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?Zheng Chenyu says that she would worry “Where wo uld I find food? How wouldI 42 it?” The 14-year-old girl says that she knows little about cooking.“I can fill an 43 stomach with tomato and egg soup, but that's all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We wouldn't know what to do, or how to look after 44 ,” said Zheng. “And I’d forget 45 . I'd probably watch television and then burn the soup.”Although Zheng believes that basic life skills, such as cooking and washing clothes, are especially important, she doesn't think teenagers get enough 46 .“As soon as I leave home, I'll learn to cook. But now parents do almost everything for us.We're very lazy.” she said.Most teenagers have only had time for their homework. They don't learn any life skills 47they go to college.However, Sima Yige doesn't think so.“I think I’d be all right. I wouldn't just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook some simple dishes 48 my mum showed me,” the 13-year-old boy said, In his opinion, many teenagers 49 too much on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking like “tidying up your room or even 50 yourself properly”.For most teenagers it wouldn’t be a holiday at all.41.

Tom lives with his aunt Polly in the quiet streets of St Petersburg, Missouri. He’s a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of gold.My favourite scene in the book in when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of h im. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom’s best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.The themes of the story are to do with children growing up and becoming more serious. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.Why do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s on ly a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on---read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.51. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was written by ______.A. Lao SheB.

The answer is between eight and 10 hours. If you don't get enough sleep at night, you'll have less energy the next day.But the researchers say many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are seven years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents don't read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional "bedtime story" helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms were more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than eight hours sleep. Even losing one hour's sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school.German scientists think that your brain keeps working while you're asleep. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. Can you guess the result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly, suggesting their brains had been trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you'll be at your best tomorrow!56. Why is sleep good for your health?A. Sleeping helps you relax.B. Sleeping makes you need less energy.C. You can solve more problems while you sleepD. Sleep is good for the brain as well as the body.57. What happens to children at school if they don't get enough sleep?A. They walk more slowly.B. They can relax.C. They watch more TV.D. They do less well at school.58. How does a bedtime story help children get a good night?A. Children lose less sleep.B. It helps children to relax.C. Children have more energy.D. Children get to sleep earlier.59. Why is it better to sleep in a room without a TV or computer?A. Your brain works better.B. You have less energy.C. You sleep better and get more sleep.D. You can read stories before you go to sleep.60. What did the German scientists' experiment show?A. Sleep helps children learn to read.B. Your brain works while you sleep.C. Losing sleep means children don't learn well.D.
