but then one of the girls raised her hand, and miss gogers said. “yes, kate.” “i disagree,” kate said. “your brother would hear you earlier because when its 11 oclock here its only 8 oclock in los angeles.” 56. miss gogers was teaching her class_. a. how to telephone b. about electricity c. about time zone(时区) d. about sound 57. miss gogers raised this question because she wanted to know whether_. a. it was easy to phone to los angeles b. her student could hear her from 75 feet away c. her students had grasped her lesson d. sound waves were slower than electricity 58. tom thought that electricity was _. a. slower than sound waves b. faster than sound waves c. not so fast as sound waves d. as fast as sound waves 59. kate thought tom was wrong because _. a. clocks in los angeles showed a different time from those in new york b. electricity was slower than sound waves c. tom was not good at physics at all d. toms answer had nothing to do with sound waves 60. whose answer do you think is correct according to the law of physics? a. toms b. kates c. both a and b d. neither a nor bb then comes july, and with it examinations, but these are soon finished and with them ends the school year. boys and girls have nearly two months holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers. the summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. the weather is usually good, so that one can spend most of ones time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields. even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to a park to play. the best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside. some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for the others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something that they will talk about for the whole of the following year. in england, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to southend or margate, blackpoor or clacton, he is usually quite able to do so. now, what is it that children like so much about the seaside? i think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things. of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under ones feet, of salt water on ones skin, and of the warm sun on ones back that make the seaside what it is.61.after the examination, pupils leave for home_a. by train only b. by air c. by bike d. by either train or car62.july and august are the brightest months for most children, for they can_.a. stay with their parents for all the vacation. b. do more reading c .play out-of-door d. meet their old friends63.children like the seaside so much, because they can _.a. swim in the sea b. play with the sand c. take a sun bath d. do all of the above cknowing the best way to study will help you to be a better student. by using your time properly, you can do your homework more quickly. learning to study is not difficult.the first thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn. it doesnt mean that you must always like the subject. it does mean, however, that you must be wil1ing to do whatever is necessary to learn. try to understand why it is important and how it will help you now and later to do and learn other things. knowing mathematics facts will be useful in your whole life. knowing how to spell makes any kind of writing easier. sometimes subject that you think is going to be uninteresting will be exciting when you begin to work at it and understand it more clearly. learning things can be fun if you are willing to work with them.heres some advice for you have a certain time each day and a quiet place with good lighting for study, so that you can concentrate on your study without interruptions(中断);
