A7:45---8:05a. m.: The boarding students just have breakfast at the school dinning room, while the day students should arrive at school at about 8:15 each weekday. 8:30a. m.---1:10 p.m. : All the students must have four or five classes plus free periods and family-style lunch. There’re no excuses for them to ask for leave away from school.Afternoons are different for each student. Normally there are two hours free for study (including a Study Hall for those who need it), weekly language and science labs, an hour of athletics or arts, and optional(选修的)extra-curricular activities. 5:00 p.m.: Thy day students return home. And all the students should pay attention to their own safety.

But they should pay attention to their own behaviors which aren’t allowed to influence others.21.

Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads.However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch t hat doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers took pride in their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory (配饰)business. And today, the image a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells.“Complications” —features that go beyond simple timekeeping —are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!Creativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshok u model uses different color lights to tell time. It looksmore like a fashionable bracelet(手镯) than a watch.Whether a watch communicates fashion sense, creative talent of a love sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget(小玩意) in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last Only time will tell!24. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion.B. Some people feel that watches have been of no use.C. The watch industry will close down sooner or later.D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today.25.

What may be the best title for the passage?A. Watches Tell More Than TimeB. Japanese Watches Stand OutC. Watch Industry Is in a Bad SituationD. Watches Are Becoming Less PopularCParents will do anything for their children. Whether it would be the food, clothes, or the place they live, parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school(特许学校), public school or homeschooling.Fortunately for parents, there are a variety of different strategies that a parent can take in order to increase their child's skills and overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Californiaat Davis, a child's brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem(脑干), the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential for a child's mental and physical health. It is recommended that parents teach their children two languages at once. Research suggests that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. Other studies state that three to four years of age is the perfect time. Clearly, any age under four would work perfectly fine for a child.The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate background of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get, the easier the process will be.28. From the first paragraph, we can infer that _____________.A. parents find it hard to satisfy their kids' various demandsB. parents meet a new challenge when raising their kidsC. parents have more choices in offering education to their kidsD. parents get actively involved in the process of their kids' growth29. What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?A. To train kids as early as possible.B. To try as many means as possible.C. To help kids develop as fully as possible.D. To use as many available resources as possible.30. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss about?A. The proper time to teach children to learn languages.B. The effective ways to help develop children's brains.C. The vital factors to have a great effect on children's health.D. T he practical steps to arouse children’s interest in study.31. We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with ____________.A. inspirationB. introductionC. suggestionD. promotionDThe New Caledonia Barrier Reef(新喀里多尼亚堡礁)is located in New Caledonia in the South pacific, and is the second—longest coral reef in the world, after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.The New Caledonian Barrier reef surrounds Grande Terre, New Caledonia's largest island, as well as the Ile des Pins and several smaller islands, reaching a length of 1,500 km. The reef encloses (围住)in a lake of 24,000 square kilometers, which has an average depth of 25 meters. The reefs lie up to 30 kilometers from the shore, but extend almost 200 km to the Entrecasteaux reefs in the northwest. This northwestern extension encloses the Belep Islands . Several natural passages open out to the ocean. The Boulari passage, which leads to Noumea, the capital and chief port of New Caledonia, is marked by the Amédée lighthouse.The reef has great species diversity with a high level of endemism(动植物的特有分布), and is home to endangered dugongs , a kind of sea animal, and is an important nesting site for Green Sea Turtle.Most of the reefs are generally thought to be in good health. Some of the eastern reefs have been damaged by wastewater from nickel mining (镍开采)on Grand Terre. The waste from mining, agriculture, and grazing(开放) has affected reefs near river mouths, which has been worsened by the destruction of mangrove forests, which help to keep wastes. Some reefs have been buried under several meters of wastes. In the lagoons of New Caledonia there are many water species ranging from plankton to larger fish and even sharks.In January 2002, the French government proposed(提议) listing New Caledonia's reefs as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. UNESCO listed New Caledonia Barrier beef on the World Heritage List on 7 July 2008.32.
