There are many types of reports. A report is simply an account of something that has happened. The commonest are news reports. We get them in newspapers, over radio and on television. Sometimes cinemas also show us newsreels(新闻短片).

Sometimes there are news items which are very amusing.

A news report is usually very short, except when it is about something very important, but it contains a

lot of information. It is also written in short paragraphs. The first paragraph is in fact a summary of the news item. It gives all the necessary information: what, when, where, how and why. The other paragraphs give full details (细节) of the subject. There may also be interviews (采访) with people. The words actually spoken by them are within inverted commas(引号).

Often there are photographs to go with the news to make it more interesting.

When my daughter was in the fifth grade, she came home from school almost every night with three or more hours of homework. It was my duty to help her finish it. One night she worked until midnight doing homework.

I felt bored, but I didn?t want the teacher to think I was lazy, so I never complained. I wasn?t sure, but I

felt that five hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student.

Later, I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for about more than 100 years. Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in today?s world. Some educators consider homework as a way to help students perform better in tests.

Other parents hate the trend (趋势) now toward more homework. They don?t want to stay up until midnight helping their children. They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children.Besides,some even say that homework increases(拉大) the gap (差距) between the rich and the poor, since middle class families do better when it comes to(当提到……的时候) helping their children with their homework.

So, who is right? Can homework help? Some experts think that homework should be given, but not too much.

64.The author thought that her daughter?s homework ____.

A. was too difficult

B. was too much to finish

C. was done more carefully than her classmates?

D. could be done as long as she studied harder

C. they want to teach their children by themselves at home

D. they believe more homework will help children succeed in today?s society

67.People who are against more homework believe that ________.

A. it hurts the poor more than the rich

B. parents are too busy to help children with their studies

C. it increases the gap between parents and children

D. too much homework is bad for children?s health

When I walked into the house after school, I saw there was a box with items（物品）I recognized from my dad?s office. When he told me that he was laid off（下岗）,I thought he was joking. Then I saw his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker. He has prided （以…自豪）himself on his career.71I guessed I should have thank him for doing much for us.

72At first, he was home all the time. It meant my bed had to be made（整理床铺）,my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. 73He seemed sad, though he tried to be happy. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my spending money, which wasn?t much. I also found a part-time job.

74He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own company. Day by day, I watched him build it. One evening I asked if he needed help.“Only if it doesn?t affect school,”he said. I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months.

75The terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can ask for help and take risks. What I have learned from my dad?s understanding of business and his work ethic(信条) are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn. And they will be my principles for success.

A.Providing for our family has been his job.

B.I made every effort to solve his problems.

C.I began to notice how losing his job had affected him.

D.My father’s unemployment created many changes in our lives.

E.After months of searching,my dad decided to go in a totally different direction.

F.His courage and determination helped him to become successful in his new career.

G.I always knew he was a hard worker,but watching him in action influenced me a lot.

Dear Joan,

Hello! I? m glad to send you an e-mail to tell you that I …m getting more and mo re interested in English.

However, in the past I thought learning English meant learning grammar rules and words by heart. I didn?t like to read or speak English , nor was I willing to practice dialogues with my classmates.

Now with my English teacher?s h elp, I came to realize that we learn to speak English by speaking and we learn to sing by singing. I began to enjoy speaking English and communicate with my classmates. I often read some fresh English news or articles and look up some information on the internet. As a result, I have made great progress in English.

Yours sincerely,

Amy
