They work several hours every day, so they cannot go to a regular school. How do they get an education?In Hollywood, where many TV shows are made, about forty teachers are working. The teacher’s job is very important. She is responsible for making sure that the children work only the permitted hours each week. She is also responsible for making sure that children learn the required subjects. She makes sure too, that the children get enough rest and play, gives lessons to the children in the shows. She teaches wherever the children are working.Children actors are required to attend classes twenty hours each week. California law says that they must be taught from September to the middle of June. If they do not get good marks in school, they are not permitted to continue working in TV shows.TV children are usually good pupils, and most of their teachers like this special kind of work. Their classes are held in many interesting places. Sometimes the “classroom”is a Mississippi riverboat. Sometimes it is the inside of a spaceship. Often the pupils become famous stars.56. TV children have classes ________.A. at a regular schoolB. wherever they are workingC. wherever the teacher likesD. at the school in Hollywood57. What else does the teacher do besides teaching?A.

Other people can keep slim（苗条）without any effort. But a lot of people do put on too much weight and don’t like it. The question is, what can they do about it?Some believe exercise can be helpful. But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more. You might sweat out a couple of pounds playing tennis or climbing a mountain, but you put it all back on again with a big steak or bread and jam.A helpful way is food choosing. But what sort of food should you choose? Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be. They don’t eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas. You’ll find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they are n’t cheap. Others say that if you eat things like hard-boiled eggs, and apples with their skins on which are hard for your stomach to digest, the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.For most of us these methods are too extreme. The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrates（含碳水化合物的食物）that means not eating bread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, rice, and so on and eating anything else you like. It’s straight forward and often quite effective.60. According to the passage, the best way to keep slim is ______.A. ExercisingB. HungerC. Food-choosingD. Eating milk and bananas61. There seems nothing wrong with exercise except ______.A. it makes you sweatB. it’s hard workC. it tires you outD. it makes you eat more62. The practical method suggested here is ______.A. sticking to bananasB. not eating many carbohydratesC. eating as little as possibleD. eating things that are hard to digest63. Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?A. Don’t Eat Too MuchB. Various Ways of Losing WeightC. Ways to Keep FitD. Food and HealthCIf You Decide to Go to the MoonBy Faith Mcnulty, Steven Kellogg(illustrator)---This book is written in the second person and tells you the most important information you need to know if you go to the moon.

Your future astronaut will get a joy from following the adventures in this book.Space (Our Planet)By Eduardo Banqureri---From the origin of the universe to the international space station, this book gives readers an up-close look at planet Earth and its solar system.

If You Decide to Go to the MoonC. Voyage to the Planet and BeyondD. The Planets and SpaceDHave you ever been talking to somebody at the party? Do you focus entirely on the person you are speaking with or does your attention keep jumping around the room to all the other people there? Generally speaking, if the person is someone you really want to talk to you will focus on them. Most other people will only get about half of your attention.You may think that this is OK, because if you don’t really want to talk to them then what does it matter if you don’t give them your full attention? Consider two things. First, you may just not realize the importance of that conversation. If you are at a networking meeting and you hope to meet the CEO of Company X but you end up talking to someone who has a low-level job at a different company, then you may let your attention wander as you speak to him. But maybe youdon’t realize that this person has already met the CEO and could introduce you. Do you think he will do that if he feels you don’t really care about speaking to him? This doesn’t mean you need to spend the entire time talking to him. Five or ten minutes of real attentive conversation can be worth 30 minutes to an hour of partial attention interaction.Second, whether you want to speak to someone changes based on the situation. You love your spouse(配偶), but if he or she tries to talk to you while you are watching something you like on TV, where is your attention going? Make your own decision, but if you want them to feel valued, give them your 100% attention. “The nice thing is that in many cases you can give them your attention for a few minutes and then return to what you were doing. You miss very little, they feel valued, and all is good.”68. Generally speaking you would like to focus on someone______.A. who is friendly to youB. who is active at the partyC. who you want to talk toD. who you are speaking with69. If your spouse wants to talk to you when you are busy you should _______.A. go on with what you are doingB. stop doing anything immediatelyC. decide according to the situationD. stop to talk to him or her at once70. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Be Always Friendly to Others at the PartyB. Improve Your Communication by Paying AttentionC. It Is Important for You to Be Active at the PartyD. Your Spouse Should Be Respected Any Time第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
