24、Duan Jiayang, a 12-year-old student of a primary school in Yinchuan, Ningxia, learns the skills required (需要) to take care of vegetable fields.

“I learned how to place the mulch film (地膜),” he says, “It’s not easy.”

In China, many parents place a heavy focus on their children’s good results, but vocational (职业的) skills have little been cared.

“Some parents do everything for their children,” says Yan Mei, an official with the primary school, adding that many students are short of the basic skills needed in their daily lives.     

Since March last year, the governments have launched (开展) a lot of policies (政策), requiring that colleges, middle schools and primary schools pay more attention to teaching students practical skills.

Following these policies, the primary school launched an “agricultural (农业的) class base” on one of its school yards. Students plant fruit and vegetables on an area of land about 4,000 m2 in size.

In the days coming up to the May Day holiday, students of different grades at the school worked together in the fields, says a head teacher of a primary school. They planted watermelons, carrots and corn. May Day, also known as Labor Day, is celebrated on May 1st in China.

The school hopes that students will understand the food is quite precious (宝贵的) so that they will better realize the difficulties that their parents went through.

26、Reading is the key to school success, and like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking.

Educators (教育家) call it "automaticity (自动性)”．

A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With more and more practice, he stumbles less and less. As a result, he can read by the phrases and soon by sentences. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about the meaning of words, so that he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.

It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.

According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 t0 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.

You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.

【1】"Reading is the key to school success" means that reading_______.

A. helps school develop faster

B. is a key to a successful school

C. helps students go to a key school

D. can improve students' learning results

【2】Children with "automaticiy" can read faster because they_______.

A. know how to read the words

B. pay attention to the meaning of the text instead of the words

C. read by themselves without any help

D. do not have to think while reading

【3】Rossman tells that any child who __________  will possibly be an automatic reader.

A. turns off TV one night 4 weeks

B. reads books by the word quickly

C. spends an hour reading every day

D. gets the same grades as others in exams

【4】The underlined word "stumble" in the second paragraph means“ _____ ”in Chinese.

A．结结巴巴地读   B．全神贯注地读

C．心不在焉地读 D．声情并茂地读

【5】The best title for the passage is“_______”．

A. IQ is the Key- to the Automaticity

B. TV is Bad for Children's Reading

C. Automaticity Needs a Lot of Practice

D. Automatic Readers Must Be Successful

27、Homework is a problem for students all over the world. As a student, you have a lot of homework to do every day. It’s a main part of a student’s school day. It’s the best way to review what you have learned in class. And it helps you understand important concepts (概念) . Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less difficult.

☆Be sure you understand the homework.

Write your homework down in your notebook if you need to. Don’t be afraid of asking questions about it. It’s much easier to ask the teacher during or after class than to try to remember later that night!

☆Use your time at school

Many schools have study halls. They allow students to study there. It’s more interesting to play with your friends. But the more homework you finish at school the less you’ll have to do that night.

☆Take a break

It’s difficult to hold your attention for too long. So take a break while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you feel very tired. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.

☆Make a plan

If you don’t finish your homework at school, think about how much you have left, so you can budget your time. Most students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it’s a heavy homework day, you’ll need to spend more time on it. It’s a good idea to make a homework timetable, especially when you want to enjoy sports or other activities.

【1】What’s the first paragraph mainly about?

A．why homework is hard to do
