Should Children Be Allowed to Get Bored?
Children need time to stand and stare. They should be allowed to get bored to that they can develop their ability to be creative.
Children are expected by their parents to be reading a textbook all the time. However, research shows that it may hamper the development of their imagination, while boredom can give them opportunities to develop creativity.
Boredom is often linked with loneliness, but a writer named Meera Syal said boredom had helped here in developing her mind. She told researchers about her childhood. Having few things todo, Syal often talked with her neighbors. She also tried to do things like learning to bake cakes. “But importantly, I Thought and wrote a lot, because I was bored,” Syal said. She kept a diary, filling here time with short stories and poems she made up.
Grayson Perry, an artist, grew up in a family with little money. He enjoyed himself by making up stories, drawing pictures for his stories and reading many books in the library. Bored but free, he spent hours looking out of the window, watching the changing clouds and seasons. Perry filled up his free time with what he liked. He became creative, because he could think freely.
Dr. Belton is an expert on the effects of emotions on learning. “Boredom could be an uncomfortable feeling,” she said. “But some young people cannot deal with that boredom creatively. So sometimes they may break a classroom window, or drive a car out f or a mad race.”
Usually, when children have nothing to do, they would turn on the TV, the computer, or the phone. Their time on these things has increased, yet they need to have time to think about their experiences through play or just watching the world around them.
It is this kind of thinking that can inspire the imagination. On the other hand, the TV or phone may cut short the thinking process. That can be harmful to the development of creativity. “For developing the ability to be creative,” Dr. Belton advised, “perhaps we need to stand and stare, and stay off-line from time to time.”
（1）What does the word “hamper” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A . Slow down.
B . Keep up with.
C . Go beyond.
D . Give rise to.
（2）The writer talks about Syal and Perry to .
A . stress the great differences between them
B . introduce a popular writer and a famous artist
C . suggest good ways of going through boredom
D . show effects of boredom on developing creativity
（3）What can we learn from the passage?
A . Boredom provides children with space to think freely.
B . It's much better for children to be busy than be bored.
C . Boredom helps children deal with difficulties properly.
D . It's boring for children to think about their experiences.

4. （8分）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。

In the modern world, people usually buy a fishing rod(杆) from a store. However, you can use a piece of bamboo to make your own fishing rod at home.
First, you should find a bamboo cane(条,竿) that is about your own height. When choosing the bamboo cane for your fishing rod, find one that is straight, easy to hold onto and light enough to carry. Using a bamboo cane that is too long and heavy will make it difficult to transport. If it's too short, you can't catch a fish with it.
After you find a good bamboo cane, you must remove the leaves and outer bark or "skin". You will be left with a cane pole. The third step requires you to use sandpaper and make the cane pole smooth.
The fourth step is to dry out the cane. Depending on the temperature and humidity, it may take anytime from three weeks to three months to dry properly. Do not leave it in direct sunlight or it will get too dry and can easily break. Test if the cane is dry by swinging(摆动) it in the air and making sure it doesn't break or bend.
The fifth step is to attach the fishing line to the end of your fishing rod. The length of the fishing line should be as long as the rod itself, plus an extra half meter. You need to be careful when tying the fishing line to the pole. Don't tie it too tightly or too loosely. The final step is to attach the fishing hook and small weight at the end of the fishing line.
At last, your fishing rod is ready to be used for fishing!
（1）What does the underlined word “one” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A . A bamboo.
B . A bamboo cane.
C . A fishing rod.
D . A fish.
（2）How can you test if your bamboo rod is ready to use?
A . By drying it in the sun.
B . By swinging it in the air.
C . By trying to break it.
D . By tying the fishing line to it.
（3）If the fishing rod is 2.5 meters long, how long should the fishing line be?
A . 2.5 meters.
B . 2 meters.
C . 3 meters.
D . 2.8 meters.
（4）What is the main purpose of the article?
A . To test a bamboo cane.
B . To teach you how to tie a fishing line.
C . To tell you how to buy a new fishing rod.
D . To teach you how to make a bamboo fishing rod.
