21、To prevent kids from getting bored and to keep them in the spirit of learning, parents can use the summer holidays for fun learning. Here are some ideas for you.

Bedtime Reading

Learning doesn't have to be formal. In fact, some of the best learning opportunities are the simplest. Bedtime reading brings you closer together and gives you the opportunity to have positive discussions about difficult topics like racism, loss, self-esteem, and more. It's never too early to start having these kinds of conversations.

Movies Can Introduce New Concepts

Watching movies can be a great learning opportunity. Selecting educational movies that introduce new concepts is a great way to engage kids in learning.

Screen time shouldn't be the main form of entertainment for young children, but it definitely has its place. There are lots of great family-friendly films your kids can learn from.

Sports +Spelling Activities

Summer is the perfect time to get outside and move. Exercise is important for both 'physical and mental health, and practicing sports can help kids build skills and become more confident. But have you ever considered pairing summer sports with other types of learning?

Linking physical movement with tasks like memorization and spelling can be great practice and can help kids learn. Some children are kinetic learners. Multisensory learning opportunities, like spelling while shooting hoops on the basketball court, can be a fun and creative way to build knowledge and skills and are great for students with developmental or learning disabilities.

D．Parents.

【2】What benefits do kids get from Bedtime Reading?

22、   The International Day of Happiness, March 20th, is a United Nations project which has a serious purpose. The UN thinks happiness will only be for everyone when the people of the world are equal.

On this date, the centre of the sun is directly above the Earth’s equator, which is called an equinox (春分）. On the equinox, day and night last for almost equal time all over the Earth. The equinox is felt by everyone on the planet, which matches perfectly with the idea behind the Day of Happiness. Since 2013, the Day of Happiness has been celebrated in all 193 United Nations member states. The United Nations invites each person of any age to join in celebration of the International Day of Happiness.

The idea goes back to 1972, when the King of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, said that they should measure a country’s progress by its happiness and not just how much it produces or how much money it makes. He called it Gross National Happiness (GNH). Again, it is more than just a nice idea. Bhutan developed a system to measure happiness based on things like people’s psychological health, their general health, how they spend their time, where they live, their education and their environment. People in Bhutan answer about 300 questions, and the results are compared every year to measure progress. The government uses the results and the ideas behind GNH to make decisions for the country.

In 2011,a UN adviser called Jayme Illien suggested the idea of an international day to increase happiness. His plan was accepted by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in 2012. Jayme was born in Calcutta, India, and he became an orphan when he was a child. He was adopted by an American nurse, Anna Belle Illien. She travelled the world to help orphans and she took Jayme with her. He saw children like him, but who were not as lucky as him because they were often escaping wars or they were very poor. He wanted to do something about it, so he worked in the areas of children’s and human rights.

The UN measures and compares the happiness of different countries in the World Happiness Report. It bases its report on social, economic and environmental well-being. The UN also sets goals for countries to achieve to increase happiness because it says happiness is a basic human right. Happiness should not be something people have because they are lucky to live in a place where they have basic things like peace, education and access to healthcare.

【1】What do we know about the Day of Happiness?

A．People all over the world celebrate it.

B．It’s a day to make people equal and happy.

C．It’s on the same day when the equinox happens for everyone.

D．Different countries celebrate the Day of Happiness on different dates.

【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．How happiness is measured in Bhuta.

B．What happiness means to people in Bhutan.

C．How the idea of the Day of Happiness started.

D．When people began to celebrate the Day of Happiness.

【3】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A．Jayme Illien’s childhood experience influenced his choice of work.

B．UN thinks happiness depends largely on basic things people have.

C．UN has followed exactly the work of Bhutan to measure happiness.

D．Jayme Illien proposed the idea of the International Day of Happiness.

【4】In which section of a magazine may this text appear?

A．Entertainment.

B．Culture.

C．Science.

D．Health.

23、   If 62 is the number in red on the top of your math test, for most of us, it's a total disaster. Your entire week is ruined, and 62 is what races through your head for the rest of the day. If 9 is the number of likes on that cute photo you posted the other day, many will feel rather disappointed.

Our lives have become a constant system of ranks, assessments, and numbers. The days of passing judgment on others based on personality are gone, and now we judge based on how good a person's numbers are. We compare ourselves to the numbers of others, such as how low another person's weight is how high their paycheck. Self-worth is no longer based on quality of character, but quantity of numbers.

In today's social media consumed society,it has never been easier for people to broadcast their numbers to the world.A simple click of a button can take you to a page where you can observe the number of friends or followers a person has. Teenagers have taken on this mentality that if you don't have a certain number of followers, then you aren't“cool”. Many feel they are not important if very few people are witnessing their status updates. This state of mind is harmful and not at all accurate.Twitter and Facebook can let the world witness your updates, but they will never let anyone see who you really are. In the end.self-worth should be based on what you think of yourself, not what the world thinks of you.

So next time you receive a failing grade or you lose a follower, remember that these things cannot and should not define(定义)you. You are not your numbers. You are a person-a3-D living and breathing person with ideas and creativity and love that the rigidity of numbers cannot represent. You are the things you love and the things you laugh at and the way you treat others.

【1】How does the author sound in Paragraph 2?

A. Regretful. B. Conservative. C. Doubtful. D. Friendly.

【2】According to the passage,teenagers believe it cool to .

A. display their status updates B. post their daily doings online

C. win recognition on social media D. define their self-worth themselves

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Numbers make What You Are B. You Are More Than a Number

C. It's Your Number That Matters D. Let's Stop Sharing Our Numbers

24、UK readers set a new record in translated fiction sales in 2018, with Chinese novels contributing to the boom.       【1】 . It says the sales have increased by 20% in 2018 compared with the previous year in an article on March 6. 【2】 , such as Liu Cixin's The Three-Body Problem and Jin Yong's A Hero Born.

【3】 .

Anna Holmwood, translator of A Hero Born, has worked a a literary agent, and has seen firsthand how Chinese titles continue to gain a greater audience worldwide, particularly in the English speaking world. 【4】 . She said the success of books by Louis Cha and Liu Cixin reflects British readers' growing appetite for new stories outside the English-speaking world. Publishers need to be more willing to introduce fresh work to readers. 【5】 . "I think British readers are more open-minded because of the diversified culture in the UK," Holmwood said. She also said that cit typically takes a few books into a series for sales to truly pick up, and "book two (of Jin Yong's four-volume series, Legends of the Condor Heroes) only just came out" in late January, suggesting Yong may have another hit on his hands.
