Many years ago, there lived an old man with his three sons, Dharma, Harrison and Keith, in a village. The man worked hard when he was young, son he had the largest farmyard and the most beautiful house in the village. However, his sons were all born to be lazy, which mad him disappointed. He was worried that his sons would use up his money and starve to death.
One day, the old man came up with a plan. He called his sons and said to them, “Look, my dear sons: in the land we have at the farmyard, there is lots of hidden gold. If you should work together, you may find it”
In a wish to find out the gold, his sons worked hard from the morning to the evening digging and digging all through the land. The days had passed, but they didn’t find what were they were looking for. They got frustrated and angry. They decided to give up and returned to ask their father.
“There is no gold in the land. We are cheated.”
“Since the land has been dup soft. Why don’t you pant some crops there?” was the reply of the father to the sons.
Off went the sons. Soon the whole once-useless land was rich crops.
“This if the real gold, my sons.” Said the now proud father.

According to a recent report, kids in primary school spend about six hours every week doing their homework.. So kids hate homework. However, their parents hate homework, too.
Is it good for kids to do homework? Of course, a great number of researches do show that kids can remember what they have learnt in class better by finishing their homework on time and homework itself plays an important role in developing their learning shills, such as independent thinking and creativity.
But for parents, the result is not the same. After a day of hard work, most of them feel like they’re going through school a second time when they sit down with their children each night to help with their homework. And a recent survey found that 46 percent of parents feel like they don’t spend enough quality time with their children, because they spend too much time doing the housework or helping with homework. And another 29 percent of parents have arguments with their kids often when they have different answers to the same question.
Now several education scientists strongly advise parents to stop helping. They say it will give their kids more independence and give parents back their free time. At the same time, the number of homework – connected arguments will be less at home. Katy Smith, an education scientist, says, “ You don’t have to know everything. Children need to put their hands up for help and so do parents. Use your resources – online teachers, or even your neighborhood – just ask.”
How long do the kids spend doing homework?

What do we know from the researches mentioned in Paragraph 2 ?

When they are helping their kids, most parents feel ___________ .

Why do some parents argue with their kids?

What’s Katy Smith’s advice for the parents?

Michael Rossi is the Internet favorite Dad right now.
Mr. Rossi, a father from Philadelphia, recently took his kids, Jack and Victoria, to Boston for three days during the school term. But Rydal Elementary School, one of the oldest schools in Boston, doesn’t accept family holidays as an excuse for their absence and give them a warming notice. So Mr. Rossi wrote a letter to the school, which has been shared by thousands of parents online.
Dear Mrs. Marbyry,
While I am thankful for your concern for our children and the best education our kids receive from you, I can promise you they’ve learned as much in the three days we were in Boston as they would in a whole year in school.
Although they missed an important test, they learned about something more important for them, especially for their future.
They experienced first –hand the love and support form thousands of other people with a common goal. At the marathon(马拉松) , which is known as the most difficult one in the world, they watched runners with disabilities work together to collect money for children in poor areas.
In addition, our children walked the Freedom Trail, visited the site of the Boston Tea Party and the graves of several great pioneers of America. These are thing they WILL learn in school a year or more from now.
We truly love our school and teachers. But I wouldn’t hesitate (犹豫) to pull them out of school again for an experience like the one they had this time.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Michael Rossi

阅读下面短文, 然后根据短文内容补全答题卡上对应表格中所缺失的信息, 每空仅填一词。
language changes with the development of society. So does English. English words change all the time. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use and older words are used in a new way. Here are some common ways.
English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico, and “tea” came from China and so on. Now new words are formed by joining two words together. “weekend” and “cookbook” are made up of two parts. A latest one “brunch” comes from breakfast and lunch. Do you have brunch every day? Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. For example, the word “photo” was made from “photograph”  by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” and “phone” were made by cutting off the front part of “aeroplane” and “telephone”. The names of people and products can also become new words. Our “sandwich” was named after a man called Sandwich who invented it and “cello” was a name given by the company that first made the product.
Can you find more examples for each of these ways to make new words”

How English new words are born
Ways
Borrowing	, tea
	Weekend, cookbook, brunch
Cutting off	Photo,         , phone
Using       of people and products	Sandwich, cello

These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year” between their graduation from school and their university studies. This means that they take a year off to do something else, before the       their studies.
For most students, spending time in        countries is the favorite activity – and Australia is the favourite place to go.
Many parents, teachers and business people       that traveling can teach important values.
“After a year of traveling, I felt I’d grown up. I had        the importance of relationships with people, on all sorts of levels.”
There are many companies around the world that welcome these     on their projects – helping people in poorer countries., or       in your home country. Although you don’t get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important     - decision- making and finding answers to problems, for example – that will help a student in a       one day.
Finally, getting some knowledge and experience in an area you hope to study or work in one day will always be very    .
If several university graduates are asking for the same job , gap year work experience allows you to say, “ I’ve already had some        of this kind of work.” And that can get you the job!
