24、Students from Taizhou Middle School, Jiangsu Province, experience farming during their labor（劳动）course. As we all know, the life skills like cooking and painting are important and should be taught as part of labor education.

On June 3, 2020, the Ministry of Education （MOE）（教育部）gave a document（文件）showing the revised curriculum（修改后的方案）for senior high schools across the country. Labor education includes housework, school labor and community voluntary（志愿的）services and so on.

“Labor education must be carried out（实施）with the purpose to make the right view（观点）of the world, life and values and develop an interest in doing chores,” said Vice-Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi.

According to China Youth Daily, the labor course will take six credits（学分）— the same as foreign language and physics. Voluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years.

According to Xinhua, adding labor education was out of care that the country’s young people do too little housework and that they think labor jobs aren’t important. Because of a lot of school pressure, schools pay more attention to the course of education, and parents may think that the chores waste their kids’ time.

According to a survey, middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on chores, compared with 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.

However, doing housework does not distract（使分心）young people. Instead, they are necessary for developing a strong working spirit, according to Julie Lythcott-Haims, the writer of How to Raise an Adult. “The earlier you started, the better...”, he said.

【1】Labor education doesn’t include ________.

A．homework

B．housework

C．school labor

D．voluntary services

【2】Zheng Fuzhi talked about ________ to carry out labor education.

A．the time

B．the way

C．the purpose

D．the place

【3】The MOE asks schools to make sure ________ of voluntary service during the full three school years.

A．forty days

B．forty hours

C．fifty days

D．fifty hours

【4】Students ________ spend the most time on housework.

A．in China

B．in America

C．in South Korea

D．in France

【5】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Parents should learn the life skills.

B．Labor is as important as foreign language.

C．Young people should pay attention to the course of education.

D．It’s necessary for the students to develop strong working spirits.

25、任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

For hundreds of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people’s emotions (情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, the actions of others and the events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.

People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are chemical substances (化学物质) which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical substance. This special chemical substance affects our brains(大脑) and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical substance which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “ sunrooms” with artificial(人造的) lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!

The weather can  also affect people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when it is hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemical substances which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly , while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.
