It can be exciting to get away from the same old bed in the same old room in the same old house. But fun as this is, for some kids being away from home can be scary and sad. Its called being homesick. Homesick means you are upset, sad, and maybe scared. But dont feel surprised. A lot of people get homesick, even grown-ups. When youre used to having certain people around you, it can be scary when they are gone. When you are dealing with other problems, you will feel homesick, too. Some kids may feel more homesick than usual if their parents get divorced ( 离婚)or if someone they loved has recently died. Here are some ideas to help you feel less homesick.Bring a little bit of home with you. If youre going away from home,bring your pillow or pictures of the people you will be apart from and look at them any time you want. Keep busy. The more fun things you do, the less time youll have to feel homesick. So try to join in activities wherever you are.Stay in touch. You can make a plan for when you will call your mum or dad. You can also send e-mails or text messages to keep in touch with family and friends. When you do get in touch with someone, make sure to talk about the fun things youre doing!Talk to someone where you are. Maybe you can tell a friend that you feel homesick. He or she might have some ideas to help you feel better. 50. How many ideas are given to help you feel less homesick in the passage ? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 51.

Someone may feel homesick when one of his family members dies. D. Bringing along some things from home may be helpful for feeling less homesick. C Most kids hate doing housework. However, not all hope is lost. There are some things that you can do to get your kids to help you clean your house. If you are struggling with the chores (家务)and need your kids to help you, take a look at some of the creative ways in this article. If you are dealing with older kids, you may want to try the allowance deal. You can give your kids a list of chores that need to be done each week. If they complete these chores, you can give them some money. You can also break the list down and tell them they will get so much for each chore that is finished. Older kids , who like to do things on weekends or buy things like video games, will work hard to complete their chores and earn their money. This is also teaching them responsibility. This is teaching them that they must work for what they want.If you are dealing with younger kids, you may want to go with the rewards chart(奖励图表）. This is where you design a chart and list their chores on the chart. For each chore they complete, you can put a red flower beside it. For the rewards, you can also do a number of things ,such as going to the park, going out to eat, buying a DVD or something similar. The rewards would be up to you because you know what your kids like. For real small kids, you can turn it into a game. When kids were much younger, you can teach them to dance around and sing as you cleaned. The kids loved it and would do a wonderful job at picking up their toys. So, consider turning cleaning into a game for the real small kids. 53. What does the underlined word “allowance” in Paraph 2 mean ? A. Good words given by parents B. Business that needs studying C. Explanation of responsibility D. Small change given by parents54. Why can we put a red flower beside the chore on a chart? A. To know what your kids like. B. To know how many chores the kids have done. C. To encourage younger kids to do more chores. D. To go out to eat or do something similar they like. 55. What can we know from this article? A. Kids should help parents do more chores. B. Parents should teach kids how to do housework. C. The more chores kids do, the more they love their parents. D. Creative methods can be helpful for parents to get their kids to do housework. D. “Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷). Close your eyes and imagine you are living in the next two centuries or more. Youll be living in a world filled with smart robots, which will be helping you to take care of your children, or your elderly parents in your home. Youll live much longer thanks to the medicine made by genetic (基因的) science. And mankind may be going farther in space than ever before-you will be living on the moon or Mars.How should we view the changes that wait for us in the future? Should we be optimistic (乐观的)about the years ahead, or worried about what the future holds? Some scientists and experts are having a discussion about how technology, science and society will develop in the future. Im looking forward to the day when more technology will come to my life, says John Searle, a professor at the University of California Berkeley Philosophy, because I think further research in such areas as genetics, physics, chemistry and medicine will help us to overcome poverty, improve health, and make life longer.Hugh Herr, at MITs Biomechatronics Group, considers very powerful weapons as concern over the future. Another is the growing role of technology in our lives.Machines taking over what humans do is not a good thing, Herr says.That is a similar concern shared by Daniela Cerqui, a social and cultural scientist. I am afraid that the long-term future we are building will have no space left for human beings, says Cerqui. The main values of our society are related to information that must progress as quickly as possible, and computers are much better than humans in these tasks . 56. The second paragraph mainly tells us _. A. how science will develop in the future B. how people will live in a modern society C. what life would be like in the future D. what computers will bring to our society 57. From Paragraph 4 we can infer that _. A. John Searl is optimistic about the future B. we should wait to see the changes in the future C.

The poverty problem in the future B. Machines taking over what humans do C. The technology of weapons D. The health problem of humans 59. The best title for the passage can be “_”. A. The Future-Full of Hope or Concern B. Great Changes Will Take Place in the Future C. The Relationship Between Technology and Humans D. The Role of Robots and Computers in the Future 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分） The twenty-seventh of July, 2002 ,was the worst day in Janek Melas life.
