Its important that parents educate their children right from their early childhood days. Preschool education is always important for children since it prepares them with patience and dedication(奉献) for accepting their high school education later. Many growing children become dissatisfied with school. They only enjoy playing all day at home before their parents. Modern preschools provide quality training to children where learning goes along with fun and entertainment. The days have gone by when students received education only through school texts, with little attention paid to what was being taught. In recent times, numerous preschools have come up with wonderful methods that help attract students to learn. Do not expect your children to give up playing for learning, as children will never do so. Rather, you should ensure that your children will be educated while having fun by admitting them to a modern preschool. Before you send your children to any preschool, the first thing you should do is find out much information on the school. Quality education in any preschool is necessary for growing children. Only preschools of a good reputation attach importance to entertainment in education. Preschool teachers have to be friendly with children. They need to make your children feel at home and completely relaxed while theyre receiving education. It is an equally good idea to check if the preschool takes care of childrens health needs. Teachers need to be like second parents to children.56. According to the text, preschool education is important mainly because _.A. it can offer children lots of kinds of games B. it is helpful for their high school educationC. it can help children learn things D. it can help children grow up healthily57.

Not just adults, but even children are getting overweight. Today some of the new- born babies are also born fat. It has been proved that the people living in the western developed countries are more likely to become overweight. There are a number of causes behind this. The people in the developed countries including the United States almost enjoy all the comforts of life. Almost all the things in the lives of the people living in these countries are at their fingertips. A very limited amount of movement and physical effort is required to do any kind of job. Because of the fact that these countries are quite developed, most of the jobs that the people take up are desk jobs. So the lifestyle of them is just around the office desk. Most of the western developed countries are cold ones. Nature demands that people eat the kinds of food that can somehow make them stand the coldness. Therefore, wine, fatty dairy products, bread, junk food, and red meat become important diets in these countries. However, the blame cannot be entirely put on the unhealthy eating habits of the people. Technology allows them to import (进口) almost all the food products that they do not grow. Although some healthy foods are grown in the countries nowadays, the quantity (数量) is very limited. It is not enough to meet the demand. So when they are not available and fatty foods are cheaper, then people prefer to go for the eating habit that they have always been following.60. According to Paragraph 2, most people in the developed countries do _ jobs. A. physical B. management C. desk D. tiring61. According to the text, the _ plays a key role in the fatness in the western developed countries. A. culture B. gene (基因) C. education D. Climate62. The purpose of the author in writing the text is to _. A. warn us of the bad eating habits in the developed countriesB. remind us of the relation between food and weight gainC. inform us of the causes of weight gain in the developed countriesD. tell us that fatness in the developed countries is natural 63. People in the developed countries often _. A. carry umbrellas with them B. blame the fatness on the climateC. grow a lot of healthy foods in their countries D. eat to protect themselves from the coldC No matter where you travel in Asia, youll find yourself faced with a new culture, amazing food and special and friendly people. Here are some of these wonderful cities. Beijing, China Beijing serves as the capital of China. The city is old. In fact, almost all buildings have some cultural or historical significance (意义) no matter how small they are. Throughout the city you can find temples, palaces, and works of art that can make you breathless. Siem Reap, Cambodia The wonderful town of Siem Reap is actually a good place to visit, though most people regard it only as a base point for further trips to Angkor and other nearby attractions. Visitors will be amazed by the beautiful temples and artworks that still exist today. Kathmandu, Nepal Located in the heart of the Himalayas, Kathmandu, the largest city and the capital of Nepal, is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in existence today. It is well-known for its beautiful views of the Himalayas. The shopping districts are world-famous and the hotels in Kathmandu are among the best in the world. Kyoto, Japan The city of Kyoto served as the capital of Japan from 794 to 1868. No longer the capital, it is known as the seventh largest city in Japan instead. Kyoto was destroyed many times throughout history by fires and wars. Now the city is home to more than 1.4 million people and presents a modern look to the world.64.

It falls on the fourth Thursday of November. The origin of the modern Thanksgiving Day is the harvest celebration in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621. Early Thanksgiving took the form of a special church service, rather than a feast, as is common now. George Washington announced the first national Thanksgiving Day in 1789. Since 1863, Thanksgiving Day has been a yearly holiday in the United States. A more recent tradition started in 1947. Since then, we often see on television the President pardoning (放生) the turkey. It is traditional for families and friends to get together for a large meal with a turkey, potatoes and many other seasonal vegetables. Many of these foods are native to America and were not available in Europe when Europeans first settled in America. Thanksgiving Day parades (游行) are held in some cities and towns in the US. Many football games are played and watching them is a popular activity. Some people have a four-day holiday so it is a popular time for trips out of town and to visit friends and relatives. Most government offices, schools and other organisations are closed. Many offices and businesses allow staff to have a four-day holiday. Public transportation systems do not usually operate on their regular timetables. It is one of the busiest periods for travel. This can cause overcrowding. Parades and football games can cause problems to the local traffic, so some states have an extra day for the Thanksgiving holiday, known as Thanksgiving Friday.68. When did Thanksgiving Day become a yearly national holiday? A. In 1621. B. In 1789. C. In 1863. D. In 1947. 69. What do the Americans often do during the Thanksgiving holiday? a. Take part in parades. b. Watch football games. c. Go travelling abroad. d. Go shopping. e. Ha
