A

My dad, Elvin Elliott, always loves farming. Even though he turns 82 this year, he'll be out on the tractor this summer, happily making hay for his 50 beef cows.

Last year I took a vacation day from work to shoot photos of Dad and my brother Terry, who takes time off every year to help with making hay. Terry says it's still a vacation for him because he enjoys being out in the fresh air, driving a tractor and helping Dad. As I watched Dad work with Terry, I thought how lucky I was to grow up on our farm.

My mom, Uzelia, was a city girl, but she supported Dad's dreams and became his best farmhand. They started in 1961 on a rented farm, tending 18 acres of tobacco and milking 18 cows. In 1975 they bought their own farm, and eventually milked as many as 130 Holsteins.

It was my job to drive the cows to the barn and bottle­feed the baby calves. Sometimes I'd have as many as 15 calves—and they all wanted to be fed at the same time. I used to tap them lightly on the nose with a stick. Before long they all knew to wait their turn. I would feed two, and when they finished, two more would come up.

My favorite haymaking memories are of break time, when we'd get “square nabs” peanut butter crackers and a Coke.

We sold our milk to Pine State Creamery. When it went out of business in 1989, Dad sold his Holsteins and got beef cows. And now, even though he's been farming for nearly 55 years, Dad has no plan to retire anytime soon. And why should he? He's doing exactly what he loves.

Weighing too much can damage your health, and obesity is a growing problem for both kids and adults around the world. Sleep might be one answer to the problem. A new study has found that elementary school students who slept too little were more likely to gain pounds.

Past studies have shown a link between sleeping less and weighing more, but scientists have had a tough time determining “which came first, the chicken or the egg，” says Julie C．Lumeng of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. In other words, it hasn't been clear whether kids who weigh too much have trouble sleeping, or whether sleeping less leads to weight gain. Both scenarios(可能出现的情况) seemed equally possible.

To get a better idea of which causes which, Lumeng and her colleagues interviewed the parents of 785 third graders from around the United States. The parents answered questions about how well their kids slept that year. Three years later, the parents answered the same questions. By sixth grade, 18 percent of kids involved in the study were obese.

The scientists found no relationship between weight and the students' race or gender. It also didn't matter how strict their parents were, or whether they were boys or girls. Obesity struck all of these groups equally. Instead, sleep seemed to be the key factor. Over the 3 years of the study, the children averaged a healthy 9.5 hours of sleep a night. Some kids, however, slept a lot more­or less­than others.

For the sixth graders, every hour of sleep above the 9.5­hour average was linked to a 20 percent lower risk of being obese. Sleep appeared doubly important for the third graders. Every extra hour of sleep they got was linked to a 40 percent drop in obesity.

【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现，睡眠过少的小学生更容易发胖。

5．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 imply?

A．Scientists have found the exact causes of children's obesity.

B．There is always something difficult to understand through theory.

C．The cause­effect relationship between weight and sleep isn't clear.

D．A person's weight has something to do with the amount of his sleep.

解析：选C　句意理解题。画线句表示的字面意思是“先有鸡还是先有蛋”，结合上下文的内容可知，文章引用这句话是为了表明“是睡眠少导致了肥胖还是肥胖导致了睡眠变少”这个问题还没有定论。下文的“In other words, it hasn't been clear whether kids who weigh too much have trouble sleeping, or whether sleeping less leads to weight gain.Both scenarios (可能出现的情况) seemed equally possible.”是解题的关键提示信息。故选C。

6．What did the interview find out?

A．9.5 hours of sleep a night was enough for children.

B．The more a child slept, the healthier he would be.

C．Sixth graders needed much more sleep than third graders.

D．One's race or gender had nothing to do with his weight.

解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The scientists found no relationship between weight and the students' race or gender.”可知选D。

7．How does the author develop the passage?

A．By listing figures.

B．By comparing different opinions.

C．By providing examples.

D．By conducting a survey.

解析：选A　写作手法题。文章主要介绍了一项研究，并列举了很多同该研究相关的数据，故选A。

8．What is the suitable title for the passage?

A．The Benefits of Enough Sleep for Children

B．Sleeping Less Increases the Risk of Obesity

C．Which Comes First, Little Sleep or Obesity?

D．How Many Hours of Sleep Do Children Need?

解析：选B　标题归纳题。根据文章内容尤其是第一段中的“A new study has found that elementary school students who slept too little were more likely to gain pounds.”可知，本文主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，睡眠少会增加肥胖的概率。故B项作文章标题最佳。

Ⅳ.七选五

It is very important for kids to be courageous. A brave child is more likely to withstand negative peer pressure, say no to temptations(诱惑) and fight the good fight.
  1   It boosts kids' resilience(适应力), confidence and willpower as well as their learning, performance and school engagement. Here are several ways to develop kids' courage：

Set a model of courage. Kids who watch their parents stick their necks out to do the right thing are more likely to do the same.   2   Then express how good it feels when you conquer your fears instead of taking a shortcut. Your kids will learn how to take on the tough challenge they face by witnessing how you tackle your fears.

  3   Research finds that kids are more likely to be courageous if they believe that their parents encourage them to support those in need. Discuss bravery with your kids: Tell them “Courage is making the choice to do what you know is right even if you are afraid.”

Ask your kids to share their acts of bravery. Learning to be brave takes practice, so encourage your children to do something courageous every day.   4   A mom I talked to had her kids share their brave deeds at dinner time.

Teach your kids how to reduce their fears. If not kept under control, fears can be powerful.   5  You might encourage positive self­talk, such as saying “I can handle this” or “I have courage to do this”. Or teach your children to take slow, deep breaths to find courage.

A．Talk about values and courage.

B．Courage has other surprising benefits.

C．The good news is that courage can be taught.

D．Teach your children simple strategies to be brave.

E．Let your children see you step out of your comfort zone.

F．In today's uncertain world, kids will need courage and confidence.

G．Then take time to focus on their courageous breakthroughs.
