【推荐3】On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War (抗击新型肺炎战), the Ministry of Education issued (教育部公布) a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before March. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.

However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect (影响) children's studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.

In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform (平台), where some courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computers or mobile network.

It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection (感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve "no suspension of classes". Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.

Of course, except for learning at home, it is also needed to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also needed for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.

1. Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because _______.

A．children may be infected by virus	B．they don't like the idea of online learning
C．children's study may be affected	D．parents have no time to look after children

2. Except for learning at home, what is also needed according to the writer?

A．To keep playing online games.	B．To keep touching different people.
C．To do some physical exercises outside.	D．To teach children about health knowledge.

3. The underlined word "suspension" in Paragraph 4 probably means _______.

A．plan

B．stop

C．growth

D．change

4. Which is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Students would rather go to school.

B．Online teaching will help students study.

C．Parents believe children can teach themselves.

D．Local education departments didn't organize online teaching.

5. What's the best title for this passage?

A．A Special Way to Learn at Home.	B．A New War with a New Chance.
C．A Way to Keep Mentally Healthy.	D．A Method to Make Parents Worried.

【推荐1】Every school has some rules for students to follow. But what happens when students break the rules?

In the UK, when students are naughty at school, they will be given a warning. But if they go on behaving badly like talking over the teacher and disrupting other students ---they’ll be punished. And there are a lot of ways for students to be punished! Generally speaking, there are five punishments within the school grounds: detention, isolation education unit(IEU), supervision, suspension and exclusion.

If you receive a detention, you’ll find yourself sitting in a room with your teacher during break, lunch or even worse, after school. The longest time for a detention is two hours. Depending on how naughty you’ve been, you can be given a maximum of two detentions in one day!

If you get IEU, you’re isolated from other students and have to stay in a room by yourself all day to finish your lessons.

Supervision means that you cannot take part in P.E. lessons, and in other classes, a teacher will always keep an eye on you while you sit at the front of the class. It can make students very uncomfortable.

Suspension means you cannot go to school for a certain amount of time. The most extreme punishment you can ever receive is exclusion: when you are permanently suspended from school. You’ll have to find another school to go to and it will be on your school record.

Punishment is a good way to discipline students. If you don’t want to get punished, behave well!

【推荐1】People often complain they face too many problems. Every day and everywhere there are problems. Many times we find it hard to stay happy. When one problem is solved, another one comes up.
People have money problems, work problems, family problems, health problems..... the list goes on. And we usually think that people who are happy and successful are having fewer problems than us. Look at the successful people we often mention. They have money they need, they have jobs they love, they have good friends, they have obedient(孝顺的) kids, they have the successful business, they have loving families etc. Everything goes well with them. That is why they are happy and successful. But in fact, the more successful you are, the more problems you have to face. More success means more challenges they have to face, and more success means more risks they have to take.
Young and old, rich and poor, successful and unsuccessful, educated and uneducated, all have problems. The difference is that their problems are different from each other.   Rich and successful have big problems. Poor and unsuccessful have small problems. Still they all have problems which they can face. Successful people are successful just because they are ready to face challenges larger than ordinary people.
