The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ). The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard-reading as a headache.” said Lisa Myton, manager of the childrens department. Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the childrens department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class. The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April. According to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.60. What is mainly discussed in the text?A. Childrens reading difficulties. B. Advantages of raising dogs.C. Service in a public library. D. A special reading program.61. Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think _.A. dogs are young childrens best friends B. children can play with dogs while readingC. dogs can provide encouragement for shy children D. children and dogs understand each other62. By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea,” the writer means the library_.A. uses dogs to attract children B. accepts the idea put forward by ITAC. has opened a childrens department D. has decided to train some dogs63. A “pawgraphed” book is most probably _.A. a book used in Saturday classesB. a book written by the childrenC. a prize for the childrenD. a gift from parentsC“A very naughty six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand.” said one teacher. “I broke up a fight but was kicked，” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.Every child, regardless of the surroundings into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of ignoring the latter. Far too many children are behaving badly at school，even to the point of being violent to teachers. This is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the toilet properly. We are in danger of becoming a nation offamilies living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being addicted to computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute (代替)parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting limits to their childrens behavior and sticking to those limits when things get tough(困难). They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources-time-so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.64. In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?A. The school violence.B. The pressure of students learning.C. The right to achieve students potential.D. the responsibilities of the students.65. The writers attitude to the behaviors of parents may be _.A. dissatisfied B. unconcerned C. understanding D. tolerant66. The underlined part in Para 4 may means_.A. parents and children live in their separate roomsB. parents care little about childrens life at homeC. children dont live with their parents in the same roomD. children spent little time with their parents at home67. From the last paragraph, we can infer that_.A. schools cant correct the wrongs that society does to teachersB. teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parentsC. parents should spend time with children making them ready to learnD. students are responsible for making themselves known in societyD Do you want to go out of town for a bit of rest and relaxation?

However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. _71_ . Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day. Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task . Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. _72_ Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child to promote responsibility. _73_ _74_ Spouses(配偶) and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. To fight household laziness, lead by example. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when your are surrounded by motivated people._75_ enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits . A. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.B. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.C. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. D. Complete
