11、reet. Eventually, his grandmother took him in for a while, but with her working during the day, Omorogbe needed to care for his seriously ill grandfather.

He started in September 2016 and will have his diploma in hand by May.“I have

13、my counselor (指导教师) who calls me every day. If I miss school for two or three days, shell call me, and ask, Are you OK? ” says Omorogbe. “During the vacations, shell call me; for my birthday, shell bake me a cake.”Ten years ago, Boston high school students like Omorogbe were far less likely to get t

14、heir diploma. In 2007, the citys graduation rate was 59 percent. This year, in 2017, the number of Boston students who graduated in four years hit a record high of 72.4 percent. Statewide, the graduation rate inched up to a record 87.5 percent from 87.3 percent last year, according to state figures.

15、“Youre seeing gradual progress,” says Paul Reville, a professor at Harvards Graduate School of Education and former Secretary of education for Massachusetts. “Were dealing with one of the most important problems that we have in education these days, which is people dropping out without a high school

16、 education and having no place to go in our economy.”Education experts say Bostons record graduation rate was particularly encouraging because of the gains by the citys African-American and Latino students in the last decade 13.6 and 16.5 percentage points respectively.But with roughly 5,500 kids ac

17、ross the state still dropping out of high school every year, professor Reville and others admit that Massachusetts, widely recognized as having the nations leading education system, still has a long way to go.1、Why did Omorogbe drop out of school?AHe had a poor family.

This is often even earlier elsewhere in the world, with students sitting down to their first lesson at 7:30 am in the US. The average

21、teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours sleep each night, but in reality a lot of teenagers struggle to get this much. A lot of the problems arise because our sleep patterns are not fixed, and they change as we grow.So a later school start time could help to solve this problem, by ensuring to get

22、 their eight plus hours of sleep and react properly to their bodys natural rhythms (规律). There has been a general shift over the past 25 years to shorten the school day. This is not at the cost of teaching time (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks, which has led to reduced

23、 lunch time and lesson breaks.Later start times could help teens grades and health. This is mainly because it makes the management of children easier. Supervising (监管) hundreds of children “playing” requires effective staffing (人员配备). And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks.

24、 So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly supervised must be better.But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing in maths before suddenly they are thrust into ancient history. And teaching staff also transit from one class to another, with hard

25、ly a rest or time to refocus.Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone involved. Anyway, it could also lead to better achievement in teenagers and less of a struggle for parents in the mornings. For teachers, it could also mean a less stressful day all around and what could be better

26、than that?1、Mow do schools often shorten the school day?AThey increase more holidays.BThey reduce the teaching timeCThey properly adjust children natural rhythmsDThey reduce childrens lunch time and lesson breaks2、Whats the purpose of the children short lesson breaks according to the text?ATo reduce

27、 childrens excitementBTo make children quickly take in what they learnedCTo supervise children more easilyDTo make children behave better in class3、What can we learn about later school start time from the text?AIt will add to the teachers pressureBIt has always been there for 25 yearsCIt benefits th

40、aching school. Still not knowing what to do to mark this special occasion, I did the most impetuous thing Ive ever done in my life: I bought a new Saturn.

41、 Tuesday, it dawned on me that Jane always wanted a white car. I called the sales consultant at Saturn, and I asked him if he had anything white in the store.

42、e my chances and asked him to put it in the showroom.Wednesday came. Unexpectedly, someone in our family was admitted to the hospital. So, it wasnt until 9:30 Saturday morning when we finally made our way to the Saturn store. Jane had never been in a Saturn store. When we went through the front door

43、, the Lord took control of her feet and her mouth. She saw that little white Saturn coupe all the way across the showroom floor.

54、 beautiful things.Though this would seem to be a wonderful solution,there are two big problems about taking pictures.Firstly, were likely to be so busy taking the pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest inspire us to take a photograph in the first place.And secondly,be

55、cause we feel the pictures are safely stored in our phones,we never get around to look at them.These problems would seem to be very much of today,a consequence of the tiny phones in our pockets.But they were noticed right at the beginning of the history of photography,when the average camera was the

58、.Before the invention of photography,people used to draw far more than they do today.It was an active necessity. But in the mid-19th century,photography killed drawing.It became something only artists would ever do,so Ruskin spent four years on a campaign to get people drawing again.So if drawing ha

59、d value even when it was practiced by people with no talent,it was for Ruskin because drawing can teach us to notice properly rather than watch absent-mindedly（心不在焉地）.When describing what lies before our eyes with our own hands,we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to

DReaction.2、What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?AAn effective solution to storing something nice.BReasons for taking pictures in the first place.CProblems related with tak
