How to Become Cleverer

Once a boy came to ask a fisherman how to become cleverer, because his mother always called him “foolish boy”. “That’s easy,” answered the fisherman. “I know one way to make you become cleverer.” “Really?” “Of course. It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, you’ll become cleverer indeed. Pay only three pounds for one fish head.” The boy paid him three pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head and handed it to him.

A raw(生的) fish head is not good --- not even for a hungry boy to eat, but the boy ate it up in two gulps(大口).“Do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman. “Not in my head,” said the boy.

The boy lay on the ground and thought. “One whole fish costs only two pounds. I had paid him three pounds for the fish head. Why couldn’t I have the whole fish for soup, a head for brain and one pound left over?” He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman. “You thief! You are fooling me!” The fisherman laughed, saying, “The fish head works now, you see.”

School backpacks have been a hot topic in China recently. Some Chinese parents buy hardcover school backpacks from Japan, although they can be as expensive as 5,000 yuan, according to Chinese newspaper Urban Express. These backpacks are popular because the hard cover helps hold books in place. This can help kids keep their balance and protect their spines（脊柱）. But it turns out that the bags can barely fit in the students’ desks.

A good backpack is important for children’s health. “It can relieve(减轻) pressure from the shoulders.” says Dr Rob Danoff from the US. He also says students need a backpack that’s made for the child’s size. Cushioned(加垫的)backs and shoulders straps(带子) will help them avoid pain.

However, the biggest problem for school backpacks is that they are too heavy, noted Hou Weiguang, a doctor in Chengdu. In China, students have too many textbooks and exercise books. The weight makes many kids suffer from side-bending(侧弯的) spines, Hou said. He suggests that a backpack should be no more than 15 percent of a child’s body weight to avoid pain or injury. That means if a student weighs 50 kg, the backpack should be less than 7.5kg.

Parents need to make sure their kids only carry what they need. Schools and governments need to help too, added Zheng Yongshun, an education official from Hong Kong. He said schools should offer lockers(储物柜) space and shared books so kids can carry fewer books.

41. Why are hardcover school backpacks popular?

A．Because they are made in Japan.	B．Because they are quite expensive.
C．Because they help protect kids’ spines.	D．Because they can perfectly fit into desks.

42. According to Paragraph2, good backpacks should ________ .

A．have cushioned backs	B．put pressure on shoulders
C．be smarter than children	D．have shorter shoulder straps.

43. According to Hou, how heavy should a backpack be?

A．Less than 15 percent of a child’s body weight.

B．No more than 50 percent of a child’s body weight

C．No more than 50 kg.

D．Less than 7.5kg

44. The last paragraph is written to offer tips on ________ .

A．how to choose good backpacks	B．how to reduce the weight of backpacks
C．how to encourage students to share books	D．how to design lockers for students

When I was young, after church on Sundays, we would always have a delicious Italian dinner at my grandmother’s house. My grandmother’s slow-cooked sauce(酱) was the key. We would all eat, talk and laugh until our stomachs were full. After mum and grandfather passed away, my dad would still make the sauce from time to time and invite me and my brother over to his little house for a dinner full of fine food and happy memories.

When my dad died, he passed the family recipe(食谱) on to me and my daughter. We often made the sauce for dinner, but for some reason it never tasted quite right. At first, I thought we had gotten the recipe wrong, but one day I realized what was missing. On that day right before dinner, I closed my eyes and imagined my dad, mum and grandmother all sitting at the table around me. Then I placed the pasta on my fork and slowly put it in my mouth. It tasted perfect. From that moment, I realized the secret was, of course, what it had always been: Love!

The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and communication means(工具).Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.

Man has been polluting the earth. The more people have, the more pollution becomes. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.

Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.

Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind pollution, it is caused heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.

The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must pay attention to the rise in pollution at the same time.

49. According to the passage, ________, our world is becoming much smaller.

A．because of the rise in pollution

B．thanks to science development

C．because the earth is being polluted day and night

Not every parent looks for the day when their child goes off to school. In fact, some parents are not sending their children to school at all. This is called homeschooling. In the United States, only about 3 percent of children homeschooled.

There are some reasons why some parents choose to homeschool. Some parents do not feel their children are safe in school because of bullying(霸凌). Other parents feel that public schools are not good enough. Homeschooling is also seen as a choice for families that live in rural areas, or families that move often.

Being homeschooled doesn’t mean a student cannot go to college. Most colleges accept homeschooled students. It is important and necessary, however, for students to create a portfolio(作品集) to show what they have learned.
