they are always lost when they meet your hands. well, this is not just a problem for you. it was a problem for wilson bebtley, too. in the 1870s, wilson bebtley was just a teenager. his family lived in a small town in bentley. his family lived in a small town in northeast america. winters there were long and hard.bentleys mother was once a school teacher. she taught him at home. bentley didnt go to school until he was 14. he was a quiet boy, and loved reading his mothers books. but it was his mothers microscope (显微镜) that interested him. when the other boys were playing with balls, little bentley was studying things like drops of water, flowers and snowflakes. bentley loved watching snowflakes .for the next two years, young bentley spent many winter days in a cold room watching these ice crystals (晶体) under his microscope. the boy thought they were so beautiful that he started to draw pictures of them. but there were so many snowflakes that he couldnt draw them all. how could he keep their beauty forever? bentley thought of buying a camera. the boy and his mother asked his father to buy one. but, his father didnt agree. he thought the whole thing was a bad idea. he thought the only thing a farmer should do was farming. but finally bentley did get a camera. for more than a year he tried to take pictures of snowflakes. on january 15, 1885, during a snowstorm, bentley took the first ever photo of an ice crystal with his camera. “it was the greatest moment of my life,”bentley said later. for 13 years, bentley worked quietly and took thousands of photos of ice crystals.later he became known as “snowflake” bentley.61. what would be the best title for this passage?

a growing number of educators say no. “we always think it is worth it,” says kohn, “and homework will improve their school results and give them good study skills, but the research(研究) shows it is just not so. no study has ever found any academic benefit(学业上的成效) of assigning (布置) homework before kids are in high school. and even in high school the case is very weak.” but how could hours of reading, writing and solving math problems not help kids to learn? we asked tenth graders at the galloway school, in atlanta. “ i learn everything that i need to in class,” says 16-year-old matt ritchie. “and it is really unnecessary to do homework. it is just boring.” “if i listen in class and take good notes, i usually do well on tests,” explains his classmate paige solomon, “so i dont think it is helpfulif anything, it just makes me kind of fearful of going to that class.” “im usually in a bad mood when i have a lot of homework,” says 16-year-old carter parder, “because i stay up later. and then im groggy the next day.”according to kohn, even if kids learn a little through homework, the cost is too high. homework may kill a students interest in learning. if kids seem to be sinking(陷入) under a mountain of work, parents should intervene(干涉). most adults wouldnt want to work eight hours a day, and then come home to hours of extra work. kids are no different.73. according to the passage, we know that alfie kohn _ .a. is a high school teacher.b. is an expert in language study.c. does deep research into homeworkd. is a great novel writer.74. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. most people think homework is of great help to students. b. kohn is the first person to prove homework is unimportant.c. kohn thinks homework is helpful for college students.d. parents should pay much attention to the homework of their children.75. the underlined word “groggy” in paragraph 6 means “_”a. uninterestedb. happyc. sleepyd. clear-minded76. the passage was written mainly to _ .a. introduce the book the homework mythb. point out the importance of homeworkc. show doing homework is a waste of timed. show there is no need to assign homeworkebells sound. lighted messages appear. men and women work at computers. they talk on the telephone. at times they shout and run around.this noisy place is a stock exchange (证券交易所). here expert salespeople called brokers buy and sell shares of companies. the shares are known as stocks. people who own stock in a company own part of that company.people pay brokers to buy and sell stocks for them. if a company earns money, its stock increases in val
