The revised dates are set for Saturday, 3 November 2012, Saturday, 2 November 2013 and Saturday, 1 November 2014. Other carnivals in Somerset like North Petherton, which are held on a Saturday, wont be affected by the date change.Bridgwater Carnival is the oldest and longest running carnival in Somerset and is part of the Somerset County Guy Fawkes Carnival Association circuit. Other carnivals are North Petherton, Burnham, Glastonbury, Shepton Mallet, Wells and Weston.It is not the first time that the carnival has changed datesup until 2001 Bridgwater Carnival took place on a Thursday, but nine years ago organizers took the controversial (有争议的) decision to change the night from a Thursday to the Friday closest to Guy Fawkes night.Dave Stokes, from Bridgwater Carnival, said, “We dont want to conflict with other carnivals. Crowds at Bridgwater Carnival have remained pretty steady (稳定的) but the actual amount of money that we have been collecting has gone down which is a concern and fund-raising is getting more difficult. Were hoping that by changing this to a Saturday for this trial period, we can change that situation.”In 2014, a final decision will be made. It remains to be seen whether changing the carnival from a Friday to a Saturday will improve donations.40. Bridgwater Carnivals date will be changed with the aim of _.A. getting more moneyB. attracting more peopleC. competing with other carnivalsD. providing more colorful activities41. According to the passage, in 2000 Bridgwater Carnival was celebrated on a _.A. ThursdayB. FridayC. SaturdayD. Sunday42. How did Dave Stokes feel about Bridgwater Carnivals future？A. Worried.B. Confused.C. Hopeful.D. Doubtful.C“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right,”says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollies opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing.“If you arent telling a story, youre a very dead writer indeed,”she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (让人愉快), Mollie is indeed an entertainer.“I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,”she says.“This love goes back to early childhood. Ive told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said Nonsense, Mollie, dear, youll be a writer.So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollies ambition (理想) and her struggle toward its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably (不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fieldssadly now covered with modern houses.“I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. Ill never go back,”she said.“Never.”“When I set one of my books in Scotland,”she said,“I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And thats important, because children now know so much so early that romance cant exist for them, as it did for us.”43. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book？A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.B. It should be attractive to young readers.C. It should be based on original ideas.D. It should not include too much conversation.44. In Mollie Hunters opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer？A. Being poor in life experience.B. Being short of writing skills.C. The weakness of description.D. The absence of a story.45. What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child？A. She didnt expect to become a writer.B. She didnt enjoy writing stories.C. She didnt have any particular ambitions.D. She didnt respect her teachers views.46. In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that modern children are _.A. more intelligent B. better informedC. less eager to learnD. less interested in realityDGrowing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind. People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic class.On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything？ I imagined the cool lake water. Irritated, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going？”Mama asked calmly.“No,”I said.“We are going to volunteer at a childrens shelter today. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,”she explained.When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldnt stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle tug on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me.“Hi. You want to play dolls with me？”she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said,“Sure.”Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to comfort me.My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I strive to instill (逐渐灌输) these values in my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget.47.

Make sure the materials your child needs, such as some paper, pencils and a dictionary, are available.Ask your child if special materials will be needed for some projects and get them in advance.Help your children with time management.Establish a set time each day for doing homework. Dont let your child leave homework until just before bedtime. Think about using a weekend morning or afternoon for working on big projects, especially if the project involves getting together with classmates.Be positive about homework.Tell your child how important school is. The attitude you express about homework will be the attitude your child acquires.When your child asks for help, provide guidance, not answers.Giving answers means your child will not learn the material. Too much help teaches your child that when the going gets rough, someone will do the work for him or her.Cooperate with the teacher. It shows your child that the school and home are a team. Follow the directions given by the teacher.Reward progress in homework.If your child has been successful in homework completion and is working hard, celebrate that success with a special event (eg .pizza, a walk, a trip to the park) to reinforce the positive effort.Title: 51._ for parents on their childrens homeworkRight things to doBasic requirements52. _ for homeworkA separate roomQuiet and well-lit53. _ TV or other distractionsMaterials for homeworkThings 54. _Some paperSome pencilsA dictionary Special materials for some projects ahead of 55._Time management 56. _ homework A set time each day Weekend homeworkA whole morning or afternoonAttitudes to homework57._ of homework58. _ by parentsAccepted by children59. _ from parentsDos & dontsProvide guidanceCooperate with the teacherFollow the teachers directionsDont give answers60. _Successful homeworkReward the child with a special event:His or her favorite foodHis or her favorite activity.书面表达(2012南京高二检测)为了庆祝母亲节，高二(3)班开展了以“感恩父母”为主题的班会活动(自制礼物、给父母写信、“感动父母”金点子比赛等)。假如你是校英语报记者，请按下列要点用英语写一则120词左右的新闻报道。标题已给出，不计入总词数。1.时间、地点、活动宗旨、活动内容。2.同学们的表现3.对本次活动的感想或评论。Teenagers Expressed Thanks to Their Parents_答案与解析. 1.
