The next morning, Sam woke up blind. His legs were broken. The doctor ,Mr Lee was standing by his bed, looking at him with a thoughtful expression .When he saw Sam awake, he asked, “ How are you feeling, Sam?” Sam smiled and said , “Not bad ,doctor. Thank you for doing the operation(手术).” Mr Lee was moved by Sam. When he was leaving, Sam said , “Please dont tell Jason about it.” “OK,” Mr Lee replied.Months later when Jasons wounds(伤口) healed, Sam was still very sick. Neither could he see nor walk. What he could do was just stay in his wheelchair all day long. At first, Jason stayed with him for a few days. But days later, Jason felt very discouraged and embarrassed to spend time staying with a disabled man like Sam.So he went to see Sam less and less. He made new friends .From then on ,he didnt go to visit Sam any more. Sam didnt have any family or friends other than Jason.He felt very sad.Things went from bad to worse. Sam died a year later. When Jason came, Mr Lee gave a letter to him. It was from Sam. In the letter Sam said, “Dear Jason, I am disabled. But I want you to be a healthy man. So I gave my eyes to you so that you can enjoy life as a healthy man. Now you have new friends. Im glad to see that you are as healthy and happy as usual. Im glad you live a happy life.

According to the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) ,its not that important! The district has made a big change for the 2020 academic school year. Starting July 1,homework will count for only 10% of a students academic grade.The district hopes the limit on homework will allow students to spend less time struggling with large amounts of work and more time on hobbies and with their families. Besides, the policy states, “by limiting the weight of homework toward a students grade, a truer picture of the students knowledge will be reflected in the achievement grade.”The new policy doesnt remove homework. It states that homework is an opportunity for students to practice their skills and a tool for students to prepare for upcoming lessons .Still, L.A. Unified is joining a growing list of school districts that have set limits on the amount of homework that students receive.Exactly how much time kids should spend on homework is a topic for debate. Harris Cooper, a professor at Duke University, says that the right amount of homework time is ten minutes per day multiplied by the students grade. This means a third grader should spend 30 minutes per day on homework. And a sixth grader would spend 60 minutes. Five years ago, Cooper wrote about his views in TFK. “Good homework assignments in the proper amount will have positive effects,” he wrote. “Bad homework assignments, or too much homework, will have negative effects.”Critics of the new L.A. district policy say that homework is an important part of learning. They say many kids just wont put in the effort if homework doesnt count toward their grade. Pro-homework teachers argue that students who do their homework perform better on tests and in school than those who do not. They fear that the new policy will encourage students to neglect homework assignments.26. In the 2020 academic school year the students in LAUSD will _.A.work harder on their lessons B.have much less homework to doC.be able to do whatever they likeD.spend more time on homework27.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that _.A.homework is of no use at allB.studnets should do more homeworkC.students all are happy to do homeworkD.more school districts limit homework28.If you are a student of fifth grade, the proper amount of homework is _ minutes.

A.that suggest reducing the amount of homework B.that think homework is helpful to the students C.that insist increasing the students homework D.that are good at encouraging the students30.What does this passage mainly talk about? A.Culture. B.Science. C.Politics. D. Education. COrganic（有机的）foods are foods produced according to strict guidelines set forth by the government. These guidelines state that organic foods must be produced without modern man-made processes and materials, such as man-made pesticides (杀虫剂) and chemical fertilizers.For most history, almost all food was organic. However, during the 20th century ,the principles of the Industrial Revolution were applied to agriculture .This led to the development of many man-made processes and products that were believed to improve farming techniques. In other words, small farms grew larger as the ideas that were used by factories and big businesses were put into action to grow more food faster.Over time, the organic movement started to get back to the old, traditional methods of farming. Those in favor of organic food believe that the man-made chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health. They also believe that organic foods are naturally more nutritious.If you go to the grocery store, you will notice that organic foods may be more expensive than non-organic foods. This is partly because of that fact that the government requires organic food producers to obtain special certification(鉴定) for their products.Is organic food worth the extra cost? Some people believe it is. Despite the lack of scientific findings to support their claims(说法)，many people still prefer organic foods. Some people believe they taste better, while others prefer to eat food that has not been grown, made or processed using man-made chemicals.If you wonder whether you should choose an organic food instead of a non-organic one, the best thing you can do is try for yourself and see which you prefer. Although organic foods were once only available in health food stores, you can find them today at most grocery stores.31.The writer writes the first paragraph in order to _. A. advise people to live a healthy life B. tell us the meaning of organic foods C. explain the governments guidelines D. show man-made pesticides are harmful32.What may be the idea that were used to produce more food during the 20th century? A. More farmers began to take up farming. B. Lots of small farms disappeared one by one. C. Pesticides and fertilizers were used widely. D. Modern machines were used in farming.33.Many people would like to eat organic foods probably because organic foods_. A. are cheaper than others B.are sold by the government C. does good to peoples health D.are easy to buy in every store34.According to this passage, wed better _. A.choose to buy organic foods B.try to eat non-organic foods C.eat both organic and non-organic foods D.make a choice depending on our preference35.Where can we probably find this passage? A.In a website on health diet. B.In a guidebook on shopping. C.In a textbook on medicine.
