Some ten years ago, I was studying in a middle school in London. One day, Mrs. Clara gave a math 1 to our class. When the papers were 2 , she found that twelve boys had made 3 the same mistakes in the test.There is 4 new about cheating in 5 . Perhaps that was why Mrs. Clara didn’t 6 say one word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 7 after class. I was one of the twelve.Mrs. Clara asked no questions, and she didn’t 8 us, either. Instead, she wrote the 9 words on the blackboard: On your way home you find some 10 and you’re completely sure that you will never be found out. Later someone comes to ask you if you have 11 some money he lost. What will you do?She then ordered us to write down the 12 , and asked us to take our whole lives to try to find out our own 13 to it.I don’t know about the other eleven 14 .

现吨市安达阳光实验学校Passage 1Pet owners are being encouraged to take their animals to work, a move scientists say can begood for productivity, workplace morale （士气）， and the well-being of animals.A study found that 25% of Australian women would like to keep an office pet. Sue Chaselingof Petcare information Service said the practice of keeping office pets was good both for the people and the pets. “On the pets’ side, They are not left on their own and won’t feel lonely and unhappy,” she said. A study of major US companies showed that 73% found office pets beneficial （有益的）， while 27% experienced a drop in absenteeism （缺勤）。

Xarni Riggs has two cats walking around her Global Hair Salon in Paddington. “My customers love them. they are their favorites, ” she said. “They are not troublesome. They know when to go and have a sleep in the sun. ”Little black BJ has spent nearly all his two years “working” at Punch Gallery in Balmain. Owner Iain Powell said he had had cats at the gallery for 15 years. “BJ oft en lies in the shop window and people walking past tap on the glass, ” he said.Ms Chaseling said cats were popular in service industries because they enabled a point of conversation. But she said owners had to make sure both their co-workers and the cats were comfortable.56.The percentage of American companies that are in favor of keeping office pets is_______.A. 73%B.27% C.25% D. 15%57. We know from the text that “BJ” _______.A. works in the Global Hair SalonB. often greets the passers-byC. likes to sleep in the sunD. is a two-year-old cat58. The best title for this text would be_______.A. Pets Help Attract CustomersB. Your Favorite Office PetsC. Pets Join the WorkforceD. Busy Life for Pets答案 56.A 57.D 58.CPassage 2As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how muchmore.Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping （录像） the families whilethey ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each othes Ner and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the h igher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is. ”The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings（兄弟姐妹）。

专题02 – 学校及家庭生活Text 1（2020年全国山东高考卷）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Jenifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲)to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. ''Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,'' she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that's pretty powerful.4．What did Jennifer do after high school?A．She helped her dad with his work.B．She ran the family farm on her own.C．She supported herself through college.D．She taught her sisters and brothers at home.5．Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield?A．To take care of her kids easily.B．To learn from the best nurses.C．To save money for her parents.D．To find a well-paid job there.6．What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?A．Her health.B．Her time with family.C．Her reputation.D．Her chance of promotion.7．What can we learn from Jenifer's story?A．Time is money.B．Love breaks down barriers.C．Hard work pays off.D．Education is the key to success.【答案】4．C5．A6．B7．C【解析】这是一篇记叙文。

【新高考】2021高考英语人教版一轮复习：阅读理解话题二学校生活（B）（含解析）

【新高考】2021高考英语人教版一轮复习：阅读理解话题二学校生活（B）（含解析）话题二学校生活(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解A[2020·重庆第一次调研]A shirt, tie and blazer may not be my favorite, but if I were given the choice, I wouldn't throw away the idea of school uniform. Wearing a uniform is a badge of pride, creates an identity for a school and is an important part of being a school student.My school is one of many that seem to be shifting to a more formal uniform —this September I will be wearing a shirt and blazer instead of my old jumper and polo shirt. A number of students have complained about the change, but some people believe that a school uniform can improve learning by reducing distraction, sharpening focus on schoolwork and making the classroom a more serious environment, allowing students to perform better academically. Perhaps most importantly, a uniform means students don't have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like isn't so important. There is no competition about being dressed in the latest trend, which would put a great deal of financial pressure on students and parents. Potential bullies have one less target for their insults; it's hard to make fun of what someone is wearing when you're dressed exactly the same.In America, where a majority of schools do not have a uniform, roughly 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation (恐吓，威胁) by other students. Thismight not be directly linked to what they're wearing, but having a uniform can be a safety net for many students who might otherwise suffer from bullying. A uniform gives the impression that rules are strict, perhaps helping maintain a sense of order at school.My uniform might not be what I would wear in my own time, but it gives me a sense of belonging, takes away the pressure of what to wear and stops the bullies. School uniform isn't fashionable, but that's exactly why I think it should be here to stay.1．Why does the writer mention American children without uniforms in the passage?A．T o show pity for American kids.B．To raise the government's attention.C．T o prove the benefits of school uniform.D．To inform readers of American kids' uniforms.2．What is the writer's attitude towards school uniforms?A．Disapproving. B．Confused.C．Suspicious. D．Favorable.3．Which is the advantage of wearing school uniforms for school kids?A．It sharpens concentration on outdoor tasks.B．It removes the teachers' financial pressure.C．It satisfies students' dressing tastes and favorites.D．It helps students maintain a sense of order at school.4．What is the best title for the passage?A．My Cool School UniformB．The Point of School UniformC．The Idea of Dressing ProperlyD．The Way of Guarding Kids' SafetyB[2020·唐山一模]Since their earliest days, American colleges and universities have based their study programs around what is known as the liberal arts.Liberal arts education does not require students to study only one subject. Apart from a major like history or politics, students also take classes in other subjects that may not directly relate to their majors. This is meant to give students a wider understanding of the world as well as improve the critical thinking skills.However, in recent years, many Americans have avoided liberal arts degree programs. That is mainly due to the belief that students who graduate with degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, known as STEM, are more likely to find well-paid jobs.But a new survey conducted by the labor market research company Emsiand the Strada Education Network research group suggests liberal arts graduates are just as desirable to employers in the modern labor market.According to the survey, 82% of liberal arts degree holders from four-year programs are employed. Those who are employed full-time made about $ 20,000 more per year than people with no higher education at all. And liberal arts degree holders with advanced degrees earned an additional $ 20,000 on average.Rob Sentz, who works with Emsi, says an engineering student may be immediately hired after graduation. But very often, engineering programs fail to teach students how to work well with others or communicate complex ideas in a simple way. Those are exactly the types of skills taught in liberal arts education.Nicole Smith, an economist: notes that with the rise of artificialintelligence, companies producing these intelligent machines need help teaching them how to think more like and interact with human beings. They need help selling products and solving problems, which are skills that come from a liberal arts education.Sentz and Smith agree the biggest challenge facing liberal arts graduates is showing employers what their skills are and the value they represent.5．Why does liberal arts education require students to learn more than their majors?A．T o teach students how to communicate with others.B．To broaden students' horizons and promote their critical thinking.C．To encourage students to learn as many subjects as possible.D．To push students toward liberal arts degree programs.6．What advantage do liberal arts graduates have over STEM graduates?A．They have more access to well-paid jobs.B．They have greater appeal for employers.C．They are more skilled in communicating.D．They are better at designing intelligent machines.7．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A．Machines. B．Graduates.C．Companies. D．Skills.8．What's the main idea of the text?A．The modern labor market is full of great challenges.B．Liberal arts education needs to reform its study programs.C．STEM graduates are losing their advantages in the labor market.D．Liberal arts graduates have a bright future in the labor market.Ⅱ.七选五[2020·贵阳市高三适应性考试一]College life is colorful. __1__. However college students have a burden of studying. How do they manage to complete a huge number of assignments and still find the time to have fun? Here are some effective time management tips that can be used outside of college.__2__. Let's say, your friend is sick and misses a very important class. You can help him by telling something you've learned there and lending him your notes. Next time you have no time to read a book you need to read and this very friend can retell it to you highlighting the key points.Use technologies. Many modern students can back up the fact that technologies make studying easier and faster. You don't always have to。

高中三年级英语_关于某学校生活类话题阅读理解_专项训练题二

高三英语关于学校生活类话题阅读理解专项训练题二学校:___________：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Whether you’ve been in college or you’re looking forward to going to university in the future, you and your family likely spend some time worrying about the cost of your college education. It’s no secret that college is one of the biggest investments. However, that will go to great avail for years to come. Earning scholarships is a great way to help you. The Financial Aid Office at Illinois State helps students identify scholarship opportunities every day. Here is some advice to help you.Begin in your own backyardHave you asked your high school or community college financial aid office about scholarships at your school? Many schools have a list of several scholarships right there. Local awards can often be easier to get as the applicant pools are smaller and less competitive. Check with community organizations, banks and credit unions, and large employers who may offer scholarship opportunities in your area.Find your “hook”While you’re searching, consider what makes you special as a student. Your unique characteristics can help your scholarship applications stand out. Pay special attention to awards that mention your best qualities, whether that’s academic achievement, leadership, community service, or something lesscommon. Think about why a donor wants to assist you in paying for your education. Most scholarship providers want to encourage a particular behavior. Companies may want to attract future employees. Non-profit organizations like helping those who support their cause or suffer from the disease they’re working to fight.Develop a routineEvery scholarship is different in terms of when you can apply, what you need to submit, when the winner is announced, and how the money is given to you. Typically? scholarship applications open in the late fall or early spring for the next school year’s awards, but that also varies depending on the donor. There isn’t a single application or search engine that allows you to find and apply for everything. Visit the website of the Office of Student Financial Aid for lists of scholarship opportunities. Go through the lists to find the ones that match you best and keep track of when you can apply for them.1．What can we learn from the passage?A. You can apply for the scholarships fit for you.B. It is hard to pay for the college education.C. It is difficult to apply for the scholarships.D. You can depend on parents to attend college.2．What does the underlined part in the first paragraph mean?A. Achieve nothing.B. Pay off.C. Prove meaningless.D. Have a long way to go.3．The author suggests applying for scholarships locally because .A. the community offers more scholarshipsB. fewer students think of doing thatC. your high school will be ready to helpD. it is relatively easy to get scholarships4．What kind of students do the scholarship providers want to help?A. Students who only take interest in their studies.B. Students who plan to do community service.C. Students who are eager to get a good education.D. Students who are considered of high qualities.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Surprisingly,he told us to pick up the beans on the grass with our tools.When the game started all of us ran to the grass area.We squatted(蹲)down and looked for beans.It was hard to pick up something that small,especially from the grass.When I almost lifted a bean,it dropped back to the ground.When I finally picked up several beans,one of my friends ran into me.I couldn't keep my balance and fell over.All my beans dropped to the ground!Just at that moment,Mr.Kwak called us back.I had to leave the game and of course I got a bad result.I couldn't help thinking that if I were a bird living on Galapagos Island,I would be dead soon.The fun game made me realize that natural selection is really competitive(竞争的).Everyone is trying his or her best to survive.6.What did the writer's group use to pick up the beans?A.Spoons.B.Forks.C.Knives.D.Hands.7.How many beans did the writer get at last?A.None.B.One.C.Several.D.Many.8.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The writer did a good job in the biology class.B.The writer had a biology class outside their school.C.The writer found that picking up the beans from the grass was hard.D.The writer didn't find enough food for the birds on Galapagos Island.9.What's the meaning of the underlined word"survive''in the last paragraph?A.Find food.B.Remain alive.C.Be lovely.D.Keep balanced.10.What was the aim of Mr.Kwak's class?A.To play an interesting game.B.To pick up the beans.C.To know different kinds of birds.D.To learn natural selection.C"What is success?"Mr.Gruber asked his6th grade business class.It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term."Success is riding in a sweet car,watching an80-inch TV,and living in a place with at least twelve rooms."One student answered,earning laughs from all the students.Mr.Gruber smiled,but shook his head."Tom,that is excess(过量).That is not success.""How about being able to provide for your family?"A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer."Now we're getting closer,"Mr.Gruber smiled,"but try thinking about what you need and what you want.""Getting everything you want."Tom shouted out an answer again,trying for more laughs.Mr.Gruber sighed."I believe we've already talked about excess versus(与…比较)success.""Getting everything you need,but some of what you want?"James,sitting in the back wondered aloud."Quite right!"Mr.Gruber clapped."Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want.The more you get that you want,the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess,though.""What does this have to do with business?"T om asked.It seemed if it wasn't funny,he wasn't happy."Well,Tom,think of it this way:the point of business is to make a living to support your family.Once you have properly seen to(确保)their needs,you can then see to getting the extras that you want.""What if I don't have a family?"he continued to be difficult."Then you have to provide for yourself,a family of one.""He has goldfish to think about!"Peter,Tom's friend,shouted out."Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl."Mr.Gruber corrected himself.Tom nodded,satisfied with that answer."So in the next nine weeks,we're going to study basic business situations,like having a checking account and understanding credit cards."Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly."When do we get to start spending?""You already are,Tom.You're spending time with us!"Mr.Gruber laughed.

The kind of tragedy which knocks you out of yourself and turns your whole world upside down. A tragedy which also caused me to be out of work for three months. It was completely unforeseen and I had no time to put together an out-of-office plan.I’ve worked at previous companies where this kind of tragedy would have been handled professionally; I would have been given the legally—required money and asked to leave. But at SAS Institute (an American developer of analytics software), my team stepped in and filled in with no questions or hesitations. My work was not left undone. My clients (客户) were patient when those picking up the pieces of projects unrelated to them needed some time to get familiar with the work. My management and colleagues checked on my family regularly. At last, my manager, my entire team and Human Resources Department helped me back to work at my own pace. They even changed my workspace over a weekend to better suit my personal needs before I even came back to work.You see, SAS—creates—a—family. The special attention to employee happiness and work/life balance makes that family possible. The flexible work environment enables most employees to create a schedule that best suits their personal needs—whether it’s attending a school play or taking an aging parent to the doctor. The Work/Life Office has a wealth of resources for college planning, anger management, sorrow, etc. But, as you can see, it doesn’t stop there. Most employees believe that SAS is their family. We rely on each other. We help each other succeed. We celebrate team successes. We hang out after work. Our kids play together. We laugh together and cry together.Sure, we have a lot of convenience benefits at SAS. But, what really makes a difference to me is the SAS culture that the outside world doesn’t always see: The balance. The companionship. The management support. The family it allows me to have.I’m so eager for other s to see the side of SAS that I see every day.5．After the tragedy, the author .A. changed his jobB. felt very hopelessC. was sick for three monthsD. turned to his colleagues for help6．What did the author’s colleagues do for him during his absence?A. They raised money to help him.B. They visited his family every weekend.C. They asked his clients to wait for him to return.D. They moved his office desk to a convenient place.7．By saying the underlined words “SAS creates a family” in Paragraph 3, the author means .A. the employees feel at home at SASB. SAS often organizes family get-togethersC. many SAS employees have become couplesD. the offices at SAS are decorated like families8．The author writes the text mainly to .A. tell his life experienceB. introduce SAS cultureC. encourage people to join SASD. explain the importance of familyI was in the middle of coding a web page when my wife emailed me these questions: Ever wonder what it would be like to have the face, the brains, the personality and the body? What it would be like to have everyone stop when you walk in a room? What it would be like to be able to get anything or anyone you want? I stopped for a moment and thought about it because my wife wouldn’t email me this unless something had driven her to do so. I emailed her back with what I thought was a pretty good answer. Here is what I wrote her back.Yes, I had thought many times about what it would be like to be one of the beautiful people. To be able to take your breath away when I walked into a room, or to be the life of the party and have everyone fawning (奉承) over me as I wore only the finest clothes and sported the perfect body? But then I always came back to the realization that a lifestyle like that is so fragile. As you get older, your body changes; as you get older, the money changes. Your body never looks the same, the clothes become more and more expensive to maintain. And once you have crossed the line, suddenly you are out. The next fresh face comes in and you are quickly forgotten.All through growing up I was never an attractive person. I was overweight and picked on. Butthat didn’t stop me from being a nice person — a good, clean, funny and helpful person. I was the person who you came to when you needed a friend after a breakup. I was the one you came to when you needed a joke to brighten up your day. And in the long run, I will be the one you remember, not the new face, or the fresh style.In closing, I would like to say that we, as a people, have developed into looking (or things that are bigger and better instead of what will last.) I don’t kn ow about you, but I will remember the friend who helped me when I was down, more than the hot girl I just saw walking down the street.I wish I could teach the world some more jokes.9．How did the author react to his wife’s questions?A.

What Is Wisdom?B. What Will Last?C. Three QuestionsD. Three AnswersBefore Christmas Eve in 1870 Richard Wagner and his wife, Cosima, had agreed not to buy each other Christmas presents. They were simply too poor. But Wagner was planning a surprise gift.For more than two months he had been crafting a piece of music to be performed outside Cosi ma’s bedroom door on Christmas morning. He had based it on themes later to be used in his opera Siegfried, plus a little nursery song he had written for their children two years earlier.He completed the Siegfried Idyll three weeks before Christmas and arranged for conductor Hans Richter to choose the members of the small orchestra. Richter conducted secret rehearsals, first in Zurich then at a hotel in Lucerne.Wagner invited philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche to the final rehearsal on Christmas Eve at the Ho tel du Lac and they arrived together at the Wagners’ home in the village of Trihschen. There they found Cosima decorating the Christmas tree and preparing presents for the children.At seven o’clock on Christmas morning the musicians arrived and quietly ar ranged themselves on the stairs outside Cosima’s room. They began to play.“As I awoke to the light of dawn,” Cosima said later, “my mind passed from one dream into another. Familiar sounds from Siegfried came to my ears. It was as if the house or more accurately our entire being, was rising up in music and going up to heaven. Sacred memories, birdsong and sunrise, interwoven with music from Siegfried calmed my heart and I came to realize that I was not dreaming, and yet was experiencing the most wonderful one of all dreams. Now at last I understood all of Richard’s writing in secret.”And yet Wagner had kept his promise not to buy his wife a Christmas present. December 25th was Cosima’s birthday.13．Why did the Wagners agree not to buy Christmas presents for each other?A. They both didn’t like to buy presents.B. They were only too poor.C.

Researchers at UCLA want to see how sedentary behavior (sitting for long periods of time) influences the health of the brain, especially regions of the brain that are important to memory formation.UCLA researchers gathered 35 people aged 45 to 75 and asked about their physical activity levels and the average number of hours per day they spent sitting over the previous work. Each person had a high-resolution MRI (热分辨磁共振成像)scan, which provides a detailed look at the medial temporal lobe, or MTL, a bruin region involved in the formation of new memories. The researchers found that sedentary behavior is an important predictor of thinning of the MTL and that physical activity, even at high levels, is mil enough to compensate the harmful effects of silting for long periods.“This study does not prove that too much sitting causes thinner brain structures, but instead that more hours spent sitting are associated with thinner regions,” research ers said. In addition, the researchers focused on the hours spent sitting, but did not ask participants if they took breaks during this time.The researchers next hope to follow a group of people for a longer duration to determine ifsitting cause the tinning and what role gender (性別), race, and weight might play in bruin health related to silting.“MTL thinning can be an indication of cognitive (认知的) decline in middle-aged and older adults. Reducing sedentary behavior may be a possible target for measures designed to improve bruin health in people at risk for Alzheimer’s disease,” researchers said.21．What is the study done by UCLA mainly intended to find out?A. What harm sitting too much causes.B. Why silting too much is like smoking.C. How too much sitting affects brain health.D. Whether too much sitting causes early death22．Participants were scanned by a high-resolution MRI to .A. evaluate their memory lossB. examine their MTL conditionsC. record their physical activity levelsD. record the length of lime for their sitting23．What do UCLA researchers think of their study?A. It in a great success.B. It is little practical value.C. It must target the young.D. It still needs to be improved.24．What can be the best title for the text?A. Long Sitting Is Bad for Your BrainB. How to Improve Brain HealthC. Sitting Causes Many Health ProblemD. An Easy Way to Prevent Memory Loss参考答案1．B2．C3．A4．D【解析】这篇文章主要讲了当被困在大火中时，你该怎么办？1．主旨大意题。

高三英语-关于学校生活类话题阅读理解-专项训练题二高三英语关于学校生活类话题阅读理解专项训练题二学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Whether you’ve been in college or you’re looking forward to going to university in the future, you and your family likely spend some time worrying about the cost of your college education. It’s no secret that college is one of the biggest investments. However, that will go to great avail for years to come. Earning scholarships is a great way to help you. The Financial Aid Office at Illinois State helps students identify scholarship opportunities every day. Here is some advice to help you. Begin in your own backyardHave you asked your high school or community college financial aid office about scholarships at your school? Many schools have a list of several scholarships right there. Local awards can often be easier to get as the applicant pools are smaller and lesscompetitive. Check with community organizations, banks and credit unions, and large employers who may offer scholarship opportunities in your area.Find your “hook”While you’re searching, consider what makes you special as a student. Your unique characteristics can help your scholarship applications stand out. Pay special attention to awards that mention your best qualities, whethe r that’s academic achievement, leadership, community service, or something less common. Think about why a donor wants to assist you in paying for your education. Most scholarship providers want to encourage a particular behavior. Companies may want to attract future employees. Non-profit organizations like helping those who support their cause or suffer from the disease they’re working to fight.Develop a routineEvery scholarship is different in terms of when you can apply, what you need to submit, when the winner is announced, and how the moneyis given to you. Typically? scholarship applications open in the late fall or early spring for the next school year’s awards, but that also varies depending on the donor. There isn’t a single application or search e ngine that allows you to find and apply for everything. Visit the website of the Office of Student Financial Aid for lists of scholarship opportunities. Go through the lists to find the ones that match you best and keep track of when you can apply for them.1．What can we learn from the passage?A. You can apply for the scholarships fit for you.B.

This is often even earlier elsewhere in the world, with students siting down to their first lesson at 7:30 am in the US. The average teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours’ sleep each night, but in reality a lot of teenagers struggle to get this much. A lot of the problems happen because our sleep patterns are not fixed, and they change as we grow.So a later school start time（推迟到校时间）could help to solve this problem, by ensuring to get their eight plus hours of sleep and react properly to their body's natural rhythms（规律）. There has been a general change over thepast 25 years to shorten the school day, This is not at the cost of teaching time (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks, which has led to reduced lunch time and lesson breaks.Later start times could help teens’ grades and health. This is mainly because it makes the management of children easier. Managing hundreds of children “playing” requires effective staffing（人员配备）. And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks. So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly managed must be better.But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing in maths before suddenly they are forced to study ancient history. And teaching staff also move through from one class to another, with hardly a rest or time to refocus.Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone included. Anyway, it could also lead to better achievement in teenagers and less of a struggle for parents in the mornings. For teachers, it could also mean a less stressful dayall around and what could be better than that? 10．At what time do the students start their first lesson in the US?A. 7:00B. 7:30C. 8:00D. 8:3011．How do schools often shorten the school day?A.
