in ningbo city of zhejiang province in east china, young mothers in the same neighborhood pool their children together, and share the responsibility of being parents. spending every day together, but not families in this coastal city of east china, three mothers are trying a new way of raising their kids, by pooling them together. among the mothers are both office workers and housewives. they say they do so not just because of the tight schedule. jiujius mother said, “by kids pooling, we mean to create an opportunity for the kids to spendtime together so that we can observe our kids,learn more about them. and then we can discuss how to better bring them up.” the three families have been doing so for two years, in school days and holidays. their children have grown used to each others company. chichis mother said, “my son was a bit shy. weve been talking him to be more active, but he hardly changed. after joining the kids pool, suddenly we found him willing to communicate with others now. when we are not there, he has to rely on himself to get along with his pals.” generally, mothers speak highly about the pooling. the mothers describe the pooling as bringing the running water into a closed pond. it opens a window to a different world for both kids and parents. but there are moments when opinions differ. xiaoxiaos mother said, “sex education for example. kids will be curious about it when they reach a certain age. personally i want to talk with my child about it, frankly and sincerely. but the other two moms think it better not to bring it up.” xiaoxiaos mother says her solution is to share some parenting guidebooks with other mothers and let them make the decision.the headmaster of the kindergarten believes such pooling activities test not only children, but also the parents. jin hongqing, kindergarten headmaster said, “parents need to be tolerant and patient. they shouldnt play the blame game when kids fight with each other. its better to let the kids solve the issue by themselves. what they can do as parents is to communicate.”63. which of the following aspects isnt the benefits of kids pooling?a. it saves time and helps relieve mothers burden.b. it allows parents to learn more about kids.c. it allows kids to learn to share and be independent.d. it offers better education than the kindergartens.64. why is sex education mentioned in the passage?a. to show sometimes mothers have different opinions.b. to suggest children are sometimes curious about it.c. to explain sex education is not suitable for children.d. to indicate mothers think highly of kids pooling.65. whats the writers attitude towards kids pooling?a. favorable. b. negative. c. unclear.d. doubtful.66. which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?a. kids pooling. b. chinese parenting. c. sharing children.d. sharing cars.dwhen an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death. this behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sure and so soon that another ant is dead.one scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. dong-hwan choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. he found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “im dead take me away” when it is dead.but theres a question to answer: as we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. but when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. however, other ants dont move the living ant out of the nest. how do they know this ant is not dead? choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like, “wait im not dead yet” when it is not dead. choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says, “wait im not dead yet” quickly goes away. when other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body.to test his theory, choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. when the scientists used the “im dead” chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. when the scientists used the “wait im not dead yet” chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet” chemical overrides the “dead” chemical when picked up by other ants. and that when an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemical fades away. other nearby ants then detect the remaining “dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems.67. what is the function of the first paragraph?a. leading the following paragraphs. b. showing the main idea of the passage.c. introducing the background of the passage. d. giving a summary of the passage.68. which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “overrides” in the fourth paragraph?a. is weaker than. b. is stronger than. c. is better than. d. is worse than.69. what can we learn from the passage?a. living ants can also be taken away when they are not moving.b. when an ant dies, it can tell others using a certain chemical.c. a living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical.d. ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.70. which of the following descriptions about dong-hwan choe is right?a. choe did this study in order to stop ants from invading new places.b. choe is a biologist who is only interested in animals, especially in ants.c. choe first came up with an idea to explain th
