It was said that school should not start before February 17. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect childrens studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform (平台) where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection (感染)of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.25 . Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because_.Achildren may be infected by virusBthey dont like the idea of online learningCchildrens study may be affectedDparents have no time to look after children26 . Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer? _ATo keep playing online gamesBTo keep touching different peopleCTo do some physical exercises outsideDTo teach children about health knowledge27 . The underlined word suspension in Paragraph 4 probably means_.AplanBstopCgrowthDchange28 . Which is TRUE according to the passage?AStudents would rather go to schoolBThe date of going to school is decidedCOnline teaching will help students studyDParents believe children can teach themselves29 . Whats the best title for this passage?AA Special Way to Learn at HomeBA New War with a New ChanceCA Way to Keep Mentally HealthyDA Method to Make Parents WorriedA Play: Four Butterflies(蝴蝶)Characters: Red Butterfly (RB), Green Butterfly (GB), Green Tree (GT), Rose (R), Grandpa Sun (GS)Look!
