Represent Their Character
B
An NPC deputy
(
人大代表
) during this
year’s
two sessions
suggested dividing the winter and summer vacations
into four shorter vacations. Though it
seems helpful, the proposal is out of the
realities.
Firstly, the deputy believed
that shorter vacations could alleviate (
缓
解
) parents’ burden of caring for their
children at home and offer families
more opportunities to travel together. However,
the general consensus (
共识
)
is
that most parents are often so
busy trying to make enough money to
provide for their children’s education
and
household costs that
they don’t even have enough time to keep their
kids company, let alone to be able to take their
kids on vacation.
Secondly,
each of the breaks will only last for about three
weeks. Even though this is generally a long enough
time for students to go to tutoring
centers (
培训机构
) if their
parents pay extra attention to their
children’s
studies,
they may end up finding themselves
continuously having to shift between a busy school
term and a more relaxed
period of time
off. While this may help to prevent children from
playing with their mobile phones or video games,
is
it really necessary to create new
term system (
体系
) to do so?
As the saying goes
, “
Penny
wise and
pound foolish.”
Moreover, as some netizens have
mentioned, the main purpose of winter and summer
vacations is to give
students more time
to celebrate the Spring Festival and to escape the
summer heat. Not only do longer vacations
spare
many students the
efforts of travelling from home to school, but
they also offer chances for them to do things
with long-lasting positive effects,
such as volunteering in the community or joining
in overseas exchanges.
In a word, there
is still a long way to go to improve the vacation
system before a better option turns up. So what
we students need to do for now is just
make the best of our vacation time and prepare
ourselves for the future terms.
4.
Why did the
deputy make the new proposal?
A.
To pay more
attention to
children’s
learning
B.
To
encourage children to relax themselves
C.
To increase
parents-children caring and love
D.
To
greatly reduce children’s
learning
burden
5.
If kids have
shorter vacations, they may
.
A.
have more time to learn their school
subjects
B.
Find
their study and rest both poorly affected
C.
feel more
relaxed and will do better in new terms
D.
not be
interested in phones or computer games
6.
Which “spare”
of the
following sentences
shares the same meaning with the underlined
“spare” (para
4)?
A.
I tried to
spare
Tom the trouble of
coming late for
school.
B.
Whenever our
guests come, we have some free rooms to
spare
.
C.
I have decided
that I will

C
Birds have nostrils on their beaks (
喙
) that can help
them smell all kinds of things. When animals
breathe air,
they can also breathe in
different smells.
The nose can pick up
on smells and send information to the brain by the
olfactory system. We have an olfactory
system, too. This system can help
animals understand the world through a sense of
smell.
Maybe
you’ve
used your olfactory
system to smell your breakfast, lunch, and dinner
or
you’re
your new school
books.
Birds can also use
their olfactory systems to sniff out food. The
kiwi bird uses its long beak to dig into the dirt.
Its nostrils are on the outside and
very tip of its beak.
It’s
thought that they use that sense of smell to pick
up chemicals
(
化学物质
) emitted by
their food
—
grubs, worms, and
other things that are in the ground.
One bird of prey that has a really
great sense of smell are turkey vultures. Vultures
are scavengers, meaning they
eat dead
animals. They have a fantastic sense of smell.
They use their nose to pick up chemicals from
things that are
decaying
(
腐烂
). Turkey vultures have
one of the strongest senses of smells among birds.
They have been known to
smell food that
was over a mile away.
But albatrosses,
which can have wingspans around ten feet, have
been known to sniff out food from even greater
distances-about 12 miles away. These
seabirds can pick up chemicals from dead fish or
groups of fish. They can even
sense the
smell that krill give off when they are eaten by
fish. That helps them find the fish via the
k
rill.
While a
sense of smell is helpful for birds, it isn’t the
only useful or even sometimes the strongest
sense
—
they
also
use their senses of hearing, sight, and taste. The
next time you watch your chickens, or other birds
in the
neighborhood, maybe you can
observe how they use all these senses.

animals can send information by

D
“I’m
sorry
,”
the bank teller said
.
“
Your check has bounced
(
拒付
).”
Her words
took a moment to sink in. This
year had
brought so much pain. A divorce
(
离婚
), losing my house, then
the loss of my job right before the
holidays…
and now the check
for my car insurance had bounced!
Leaving the bank, I wondered what I
would do. My unemployment
(
失业
) checks were delayed,
and everything
seemed to be piling up.
How long could I last without money? How I missed
my parents in the faraway Los Angeles,
whom I had not seen for five years.
December in Michigan meant it was not
only dark, but cold and snowy. Despite (
尽
管
) that, I had an urge to
take a walk on my favorite trail. Being
cold and dark also meant there was a good chance
no one else would be out,
so I decided
to go.
On the trail, I was grateful for
sounds of rushing water coming from the little
river. They covered my soft sobs
while
I walked. Tonight, it all felt like too much to
bear.
Eventually, when my tears dried
up, I headed home. Approaching my apartment
(
公寓
) door, I noticed
something
bulky hanging on the it.
Probably another bill, I thought. While I
struggled with my boots, I could see a card with
my
name on it through the clear plastic
bag. Reaching in, I took out a very small, white
envelope. Inside the envelope
was a
beautiful card with no name written on it, but it
was stuffed with gift cards --- hundreds of
dollars of gift cards
that could meet
my urgent needs!
I was in shock and
awe. The timing of this amazing anonymous
(
匿名的
) gift, arriving at
exactly the right
moment, was almost
too much to comprehend. Again, I began crying, but
now they were tears of joy. I felt so loved.
I would go to Los Angeles tomorrow!
