It is when children forget much of what they learned during the latest school year.To fight its effects, students have to do much homework over the summer and parents may send children to camp or find other activities to keep them leaning. However, experts say keeping children busy all the time is not good for them.Lea Waters , an expert on human behavior, says slowing down actually helps children become the best they can be. "It's a little bit like, if you have too many programs running on your computer, your computer starts to slow down. When you shut down those programs, your computer speed up again.”Machines need d to be reset, while kids need to goof off. "What I mean by goofing off is really allowing kids to have some downtime, where they’ re not focused on a specific task, they just do what they’re interested in." She adds, "It not just decides what information to put into memory or get rid of. It's also an essential network to develop emotional intelligence, to improve the memory ...”Parents often mean well by wanting to keep their child busy. But the result is often a tired child with an overcrowded schedule, which means the opposite effect the parents are hoping for. " If you're constantly on task, in the end it doesn't help to build up strength as effectively as you might think.” Lea Waters says she hopes parents will accept the fact that children don' t have to be busy all the time.28.

It will help their children to focus on a specific task.C. It develops their children’s emotional intelligence.D. It will not work out effectively as expected.DBeijing 's Forbidden City, once home to loyal families of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is a place full of wonder. From its thousands of rooms to its many beautiful artifacts (工艺品), no wonder it's one of China' s most popular tourist destinations now. But even more than 600 years after it was built, it’s still managing to serve up surprises.Since it was built during the Ming Dynasty, it's estimated that the Forbidden City has survived more than 200 earthquakes. And while most structures aren’t made to survive natural disasters, let alone ones built hundreds of years ago, it seems that the Forbidden City was built to stand anything.A recent television documentary(纪录片) by UK broadcaster Channel 4 explored the skills of the ancient building's designers. A group of Chinese carpenters and engineers were shown building a model of one of the Forbidden city's palaces, at one fifth of the size.To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to the test. It was subjected to a simulated(模拟的) earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale(里氏震级)--- the largest ever recorded quake ---and survived. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test.According to experts, the answer to the Forbidden City strength , as well as other ancient Chinese structures’ , lies in brackets or Dougong--- a century’s-old building method invented in China.Despite being held together without any nails or glue, the brackets are perfect at keeping structures together when the weather gets rough.“Dougong design is an important earthquake-resistant feature of classical Chinese structure because the framework changes in shape when under pressure, much like the shock absorbers (减震器）of a car .”,according to Chinese National Geography. “Ancient Chinese craftsmen created structures that were both strong and pleasing to the eye, showing their advanced understanding of maths, architecture, materials,and structural science.”The Forbidden City draw visitors because of its rich history and cultural significance, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions:earthquake shelter.32.When w as Beijing’s Forbidd en City built?A. 200 years ago.B. More than 600 years ago.C. 500 years ago.D. More than 100 years ago.33. What happened to the model during the test?A. It fell apart.B. It was destroyed.C. It moved slightly.D. It remained unchanged.34. What made the Forbidden City resist earthquake?A. The shock absorbers.B. Special building materials.C. Beautiful artifacts.D. Dougong Design.35. What can be inferred from the text?A. Dougong design was thought highly of by the author.B. The Forbidden City will serve as an earthquake shelter soon.C. Dougong design can date back to the Ming Dynasty.D. The Forbidden City has been a tourist destination since it was built.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
