learning gapsome call it the summer learning setbacksimply speaking，it means the longer kids are out of school，the more they forgetthe only thing they might gain is weight.most american schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar with winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacationsome schools follow a year-round calendarthey hold classes for about eight weeks at a time，with a few weeks off in betweenthe national association for year-round education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last countthey were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.but many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional schoollead researcher paul von hippel said，“year-round schools dont really solve the problem of the summer learning setbackthey simply spread it out across the year.across the country，research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other studentsexperts say this can be preventedthey note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.but calling them “summer school” could be a problemthe director of the summer learning center at johns hopkins，ron fairchild，said research with groups of different parents in chicago and baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”in american culture，the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhoodthe parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp,” “extra time” and “hands-on learning.”61according to the first paragraph，the summer learning gap _ahelps children to gain weight bleads children to work hardercimproves childrens memories daffects childrens regular studies62compared to traditional

are schools in each state following a year-round calendar dnothing can help the students who fall behind after the vocation.64why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”?athey cherish the childrens rights of freedom very much.bthey are worried about the quality of the “summer school” cthey want their children to be forced to make up the gap.dthey cant afford to the further study

isnt just a health threat to peopleit can also hurt dogs and cats，veterinarians sayaccording to the centers for disease control and prevention， more than 126 million americans who dont smoke are exposed to secondhand smoke in their homes，vehicles，workplaces，and public placesthis exposure causes thousands of lung cancer and heart disease deaths among nonsmokers every year，according to the california environmental protection agency“making the leap from the effects of secondhand smoke on humans to their effects on pets isnt a big one,” says veterinarian （兽医专家） carolynn macallister of oklahoma state university“there have been a number of scientific papers recently that have reported the significant health threat secondhand smoke poses to pets,” macallister said“secondhand smoke has been associated with oral cancer and lymphoma in cats，lung and nasal cancer in dogs，as well as lung cancer in birds.”studies have also shown that dogs living in a smoking household are susceptible to cancers of the nose and sinus area，particularly if they are a long-nosed breed，because their noses have a greater surface area that is exposed to carcinogens and a greater area for them to accumulatedogs affected with nasal cancer normally dont survive for more than one year“short and medium-nosed dogs are more susceptible to lung cancer，because their shorter nasal passage arent as effective at accumulating the inhaled secondhand smoke carcinogens,” macallister said“this results in more carcinogens （致癌物质） reaching the lungs.” birds are also at risk for lung cancer，as well as pneumonia，because their respiratory systems are hypersensitive to any type of air pollutantto help prevent animals from being adversely affected by smoking，pet owners who smoke should have a designated smoking area that is separated from the home or stop smoking altogether，macallister said 66from the passage，we can see secondhand smoke maybe not harmful to _asmokers bnon-smokers cpets
