任务型阅读

    In some Western countries, many children do chores to get pocket money (零花钱).

    School students have to do homework and study for tests.  They often do chores on weekends.

     So they don't get much money. But that's enough. Many of them only want to buy candy(糖果). And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog.

    When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy.  They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.

    Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things.  Of course, their parents help them at first.

A. So they have to work harder!

B. They usually start to do this when they are ten years old.

C. They don't have much free time on weekdays.

D. For example, they can learn how to use a lawnmower (割草机) or how to cook.

E. Young Kids don't need to do chores.

F. Young kids only do easy chores.

    I still remember when this day started,I was very happy.Not only did I have the chance to leave the school,but I also could sit in my dad's taxi all day long and we would go to a restaurant for lunch.
                              I couldn't read my book in the car as I would get carsick(晕车) and my dad didn't like to turn on the radio.I got hot and uncomfortable.People wouldn't get into his taxi because they thought he already had a passenger:me﹣so nothing happened.It seemed years before we went out for lunch.In fact,I started to miss the school.
    Although the purpose of the day is to give kids a chance to experience possible jobs in their futures,I got something completely different from the day.I learned to value school life.Where else can you play with your friends,do science experiments,read great books and write stories all in one day?
    Just like you'll have to learn to love your job later in life,learn to love school now. If you don't,try spending the day at work with your dad.
根据短文内容,从短文前方框内的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A. Each part has a different meaning.

B. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can.

C. That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world.

D. Also, mobile phone numbers can be recycled.

E. The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world.

    Have you ever counted the number of digits(数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Why is that?

    The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for the China Mobile Communication Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you which area the number is recorded in. And the last four digits are random (随机的).

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999.

    Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers, according to the Xinhua News Agency. That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven't contacted (联络) for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.

    Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with l0 digits. Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the world's shortest: they use seven digits.

    Is sleep important for children? A new study says yes.

    In America, most people don't get enough sleep. Children aged 5 to 12 are advised to sleep 10 to 11 hours every night, but most of them can't sleep that long. A study found that about 41 million American workers got less than six hours of sleep every night. Scientists worry that parents are passing their poor sleeping habits down to their children.

    In the study, Reut Gruber and some other scientists either added or reduced(减少) one hour of sleep for healthy children aged 7 to 11. They watched the children for five nights. They wanted to know if the amount of sleep can affect(影响) a child's behavior.

    Before the study began, students were asked to sleep the same amount of hours as usual. Their teachers were asked to record their behavior. After changing the children's sleep for five nights, the teachers had to record again. According to the two records, scientists found that those who slept one hour less behaved worse than those who slept one hour more. Students with less sleep were more likely(可能的) to feel sad and had more problems paying attention.

    The scientists chose to study children in their homes instead of in a laboratory, because they wanted to find out how everyday changes might affect children's behavior at school. "In the study, nobody became a talent, and nobody became crazy. But small changes in children can really make a big difference," says Gruber.
