Many parents often ask me, “How can you teach your child good study skills? How can he or she get the homework done as quickly as possible?” Here are some tips: 1. If the child is as young as nine or ten, ask him or her to prepare a small notebook to write down the homework given by his or her teachers. By developing this habit, he or she will learn to be much more responsible (负责的).2. Find a good place to study. This should be a quiet place that is free from everything but study things. No games, radios, or televisions. Once you have decided on a place to study, this should be the only place where your child does his or her homework and studies. There should also be a very specific time for homework to be done. Usually, homework should be done as soon as the child gets home from school. This also goes for the kids who take part in after-school activities. Of course, it is a good idea to allow the child to have a healthy snack before the work begins.3. Also remember that it is the childs duty to do his or her homework. Some children give up easily and go to Mom and Dad for help when they have a problem. Try to let them solve it first. By doing this, they will get a sense of success from overcoming problems. In this way we help them to help themselves.（1）Asking the kids to keep a notebook to remember their homework will make them _.A . remember moreB . learn moreC . more responsibleD . more interested in studying（2）The place where the children study must _.A . be free for everythingB . have a TV set and a computerC . be quiet, bright and free from things for entertainmentD . be big, clean and tidy（3）What does the underlined word “overcoming” mean in the passage?A . Forgetting.B . Leaving.C . Realizing.D . Beating.（4）According to the passage, the children should _ when they have trouble with their homework.A . ask their parents for helpB . try to solve the problems by themselvesC . wait for their teachers helpD . put it away and have a snack（5）This passage is written _.A . for parents to help their children study wellB . for the children who want to improve their workC . for teachers to teach their studentsD . for housewives to make their kids happy19. （10分）阅读理解Mrs Brown is very fat (胖).“Dont eat meat or cakes,” her doctor says to her.“Im going to stop her eating them, doctor,”her husband (丈夫) says.The next morning, Mrs Brown makes a nice cake, and her husband eats half of it.

When he was 17, he travelled across Europe and Asia with his father, who wanted to do trade with the Chinese. Finally they arrived in Beijing. They were guests at the Emperor Palace. Although Marco Polo was young, he was very clever and could speak some foreign languages. The Emperor was impressed by him. He asked Marco Polo to serve in his court (宫廷) and sent him to do many important tasks across the country.Marco Polo was amazed by the beautiful China. He was impressed by Beijing and the Emperors Palace, especially the Summer Palace which he described as The greatest palace that ever was. The walls were covered with gold and silver and the hall was so large that it could easily seat 6,000 people for dinner.There were inventions and developments in China which were not used in Europe at that time. He was puzzled (困惑的) by the black stones people used to bum to produce heat. The black stones were coal, but Marco Polo had never seen coal before!In 1295, after 17 years of service to the Emperor, Marco Polo returned to Italy. He was then a very wealthy man. A writer wrote down the stories that Marco Polo told him in a book called The Travels of Marco Polo.Although people enjoyed reading the book, many of them thought that Marco Polos stories about China were too fantastic to be true. But Marco Polo always stood by his tales. Just before he died in 1324, Marco Polo was asked the question, Were they all true?

You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people cant hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 players, you shouldnt turn it up too high.Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools dont allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that dont have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesnt make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while its okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and its not for you.Its Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.（1）The underlined word “volume” in Paragraph Two probably means “_”A . the type of musicB . the amount of a soundC . the length of a songD . the color of an MP3 player（2）No one wants to listen to _ from others MP3 players.A . a loud soundB . sad storiesC . a long movieD . the words of a song（3）We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music _.A . is not enjoyableB . makes us tiredC . is bad for MP3 playersD . hurts our ears（4）If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, _.A . the theatre wont allow itB . the actors will get angryC . others wont hear the play wellD . we will miss part of the play（5）We can take one earphone out when we _.A . show others the wayB . talk to friends on the phoneC . watch a sporting eventD . have dinner with our parents（6）Its all right to use our MP3 player in _.A . schoolB . librariesC . restaurantsD . museums（7）What can be the best title of this passage?A .
