Students at a primary school in Fuzhou are asked to clean the school toilets. It helps them to    11    good habits. But some parents are    12    against the idea. They can’t see the advantages of students doing such chores. They think that the school should help students to focus on their study, not offer the chance to be school    13   .

In fact, parents, schools and society play an important role in forming the character of students. It is good to give students such tasks, because    14    of the students will do them at home. Their parents want them to do homework only.

Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family — or maybe the last of nine?

A study found that first-borns have an average IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.

If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, “The Power of Birth Order”, last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.

Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored（忽视）them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled（宠坏的）. Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easy-going adults.

Many factors make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.

26. Who is most likely to be a CEO?

A. A first-born.  B. A second-born.  C. A third-born.  D. A last-born.

27. What can we learn about Jim Carrey?

A. He is a middle child.  B. He is likely to be serious.

C. He is a successful businessman.  D. He is likely to be agreeable.

28. What does the underlined sentence mean?

A. They are usually controlled.  B. They are always spoiled.

C. They are often popular at home.  D. They are often treated unfairly.

29. What can we learn from the 4th paragraph?

A. Middle children often get more attention from parents.

B. Middle children usually communicate with others well.

C. Middle children are more likely to get on well with others.

D. Middle children are usually famous artists and businessmen.

30. What would be the best title for the text?

A. What Makes You Powerful  B. How You Can Be a CEO

C. What Influence Birth Order Has on You  D. How You Can Grow Up

C

六、读写综合（25分）

A. 回答问题（本题有5小题，每小题2分，共10分）

请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整，并把答案写在答题卡指定的位置。

A recent research shows that physical activity may help students do better in their classes. The research comes because educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like P. E. class.

Researchers go over the results of fourteen studies. Twelve were from the United States, one from Canada and one from South Africa. The studies appeared between 2009 and 2013. They included more than 5, 000 children, aged six to eighteen.

Thomas Singh, one of the researchers, says the studies showed a relationship between physical activity and scores on subjects such as Math, English and reading. Ms. Singh offers some possible explanations（解释）:

“There are, first, physiological（生理的）explanations, like more blood flow, and so more oxygen（氧气）to the brain. Being physically active means there are more hormones（荷尔蒙）produced like endorphins（脑内啡）. And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved, which means you will perform better in class. Also, students who take part in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them. This could improve their classroom behavior and help them know what they should do.

All in all, the finding tells us that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should consider the finding before they cut physical education programs.
