My daughter Maria is a girl of nine years old. She is in Grade Four.

Every evening we get into homework battles. Three afternoons a week, she has activities (net-ball, singing) after school and by the time we get home, homework is the last thing she feels like doing. The other two days, she gets home early and we argue (争论) about whether she should do her homework right away after school, or if she should have some time to rest and play first.

When Maria at last sits down to do her homework, she seems to want me there to help all the time. I do want to help her, but I'm sure that she is going to need to be able to do it by herself. And in fact, most of the time, I have to do other things.

It seems that children these days have much more homework than we did, and some of it is really beyond (超越) their abilities (能力). As you can see, I'm really worried about homework and I really don't know what I should do. Any ideas?

（1）、Maria has activities after school for _____________ afternoons a week.

A、two B、three C、five D、seven

（2）、The woman thinks that her daughter should do her homework

A、by herself B、with her mother C、with her father D、with her classmates

（3）、What does the mother think of the homework?

A、It's difficult for students to do all their homework. B、It's easy for students to do all their homework. C、It's difficult for students to do some of their homework. D、It's good for students to rest and play before homework.

（4）、What does the underlined word "worried" mean?

A、relaxed B、afraid C、lucky D、happy

举一反三

In the summer of 1978 an English man named Steven was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered something strange. Some of his wheat was lying on the ground. The flattened wheat formed(形成)a circle about six meters across . Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat.
　 Three years later a farmer who lived nearby discovered almost the same circles in one of his fields. These circles were larger—nearly 15 meters across . That same year , another English farmer discovered three circles of flattened wheat on his land—one large circle between two small circles. During the following years, farmers in England found circles in their fields more and more often.
　 The circles are called “crop circles” because they usually appear in fields of wheat or corn. The wheat in the circles lies on the ground but is never broken; it keeps on growing, and the farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September. What causes the crop circles?
　 At first, people thought that some kids were making them as a joke, or that farmers were making them to attract tourists.(In fact, in 1991, two men said they made the circles themselves, but many scientists don't believe them.) People tried to copy them: They tried to make circles exactly like the ones the farmers had found. They couldn't do it. They couldn't enter a field of wheat without leaving tracks, and they couldn't flatten the wheat without breaking it.
　 Several times people reported seeing stranger objects near the fields where crop circles later appeared. Many people believe that these crop circles are the messages sent by living things from outer space(外层空间)or the marks left by their spaceships.
　 Scientists who have studied the crop circles try to find out what causes them. In the summer of 1990 some scientists spent three weeks in the part of England where many circles have appeared. They had all the latest high-tech equipment(最新高科技设备). The equipment—worth 1.8 million dollars—got nothing. But one night, as the scientists were watching a field, crop circles formed in the field behind them, which were quite different from the others. The scientists had neither seen nor heard anything.
　 When Steven discovered the crop circles on his land in 1978, he said, “It was just like something that had landed in the field from the air and gone back up again. I don't know what to make of these things.”
　 Crop circles have appeared in England, Japan, the United States and Russia. Experts from all over the world have studied them, and they say what Steven said: They don't know what to make of these things.

A little boy went into a shop, reached for box and pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed onto the box so that he could get the phone. The shop-owner watched and listened to the call.

Boy: Lady, can you give me the job of cutting your lawn (草坪)?

Woman: I already have someone to cut my lawn.

Boy: Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now.

Woman: I'm very satisfied with the person who is now cutting my lawn.

Boy: Lady, I'll even sweep your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in the town.

Woman: No, thank you.

With a smile on his face, the little boy put down the phone. The shop-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy, "Son, I like your attitude (态度) and would like to offer you a job."

"No, thanks, sir. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!"

How The Little Kite Learned To Fly?

By Katherine Pyle

"I never can do it." the little kite said,

As he looked at the others high over his head.

"I know I should fall if I tried to fly."

"Try, "said the big kite." only try!

Or I fear you never will learn at all."

But the little kite said: "I'm afraid I'll fall,"

The big kite said: "Ah, well, good-bye;

I am off." And he rose towards the sky

Then the little kite's paper stirred(微动)

And he shook himself free for flight

First whirling(回旋) and scared，then bravery grown,

Up, up he rose through the air alone,

While far below he could see the ground,

And the boys like small ants moving round.

To travel around the world is the dream of many adventurous people. But very few people can afford a global tour because hotels, food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people, however, have thought of some ways to realise their dreams.

Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune, a couple from Britain, decided to travel around the world. They have found a good way to pay for their trips. They look after pets for rich house owners. In exchange, they can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats, dogs and fish. In two years, the couple has been to Australia, Germany, Spain and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually very generous and give them food, wine and day trips.

Another person who tries to realise her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she stays in and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of followers.

With these ways of making money, travelling around the world is no longer a dream. More and more young people are thinking creatively to make their dreams come true.

Some children don't like their schoolbags. Schoolbag makes them think of books and homework. My schoolbag is different. It is from my father, and there is a name "Mary" on it. I love it because it holds everything I need.

I love books and my schoolbag keeps them with me. I don't mean only schoolbooks. I mean my reading books, too. Now I am reading Peter Rabbit. After that, I will read Harry Potter.My schoolbag also holds my lunch box. Dad always puts a good lunch in my schoolbag. Sometimes he puts a note in it. That way, I feel happy all the afternoon.

Sometimes my schoolbag is very heavy, but I don't mind. It has everything I need. It's like a home on my back.
