in school.

The study also says that watching TV and playing video games on weekends don’t affect school performance that much.

“On weekdays, the more they watched, the worse they did,” said Dr. Iman Sharif of Children’s Hospital at Montefiore in New York. “They could watch a lot on weekends and it didn’t seem to connect with doing worse in school.”

The study appears in October issue of Pediatrics. Researchers drew their conclusions after surveying 4,500 students in New Hampshire and Vermont middle schools.

To reach their findings，researchers didn’t look at grades or test scores. Instead, they asked students to rate(评价) their own performance on a scale ranging from “excellent” to “below average”.

Other studies have found a connection between kids’ ability to learn and the amount of TV they watch. One study even found that kids with televisions in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than kids without.

What should a kid do？The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids watch TV no more than two hours and that televisions be kept out of children’s rooms. Weekends viewing should be kept to four hours at most each day.

68. The passage mainly talks about the relationships between . A. TV watching and students’ character training B. TV watching and students’ school performance C. students’ communicating skills and TV watching D. kids’ mental development and TV watching 69. What can be concluded from the passage?

A. Kids can watch TV as long as they wish on the weekends.

B. Kids can watch TV longer on the weekends than on weekdays. C. Kids should not be allowed to watch TV on the weekends.

D. Kids can watch TV during the weekdays in their rooms for a long time. 70. The purpose of keeping televisions out of children’s room is to . A. protect the TV sets from being broken by kids B. prevent the kids from playing video games on TV C. limit the time of TV the kids watch

D. provide the kids with the quietness they need to study

71. Who is likely to have excellent school performance according to the passage? A. A student putting off doing homework on a school night to watch TV. B. A student who watches TV 4 hours a day. C. A kid who has TV set in his own room. D. None of the above.

Soon after you have your first child, the question of having a second one is raised by friends and family. However, as the pattern of having two children in a family is challenged by modern family units, there are a few reasons why it is not selfish to want only one child.

Today, the role of women has changed a lot. But nowadays, a wife has to help her husband earn the bread and butter as well as well as looking after her family. In demanding times like these, a woman has to put in more physical and emotional effort than any other member of the family. Raising a child comes at a cost that remains only heard of, until you find yourself paying it. The good reality of double income with no kids suddenly comes crashing down when there is a child involved in the picture. When one parent (the mother) needs to take some time off to look after the newborn, only one person becomes the earning member. Of course, the expenses went up rapidly. According to Susan Newman, PhD, a social psychologist, the average cost of raising a child is

写作一 (满分15分) One possible version:

Thanks to the mobile phone, our life has become more convenient and colorful. However, we have to admit that more and more people have become addicted to it. They spend too much time chatting, surfing the Net and playing games on their mobile phones, paying no attention to people and things around them. Some people even say they can’t live without their mobile phones. In my opinion, it’s high time that we put down our mobile phones and raised our heads up. Let’ stop phubbing/ smartphone addicting and take part in real-life activities.

写作二 (满分20分) One possible version: Dear Sir,

My name is Tom, who is a customer of your travel agency. Here I’m sorry to express my dissatisfaction with the service of your travel agency.

First of all, during the trip the tour guide not only introduced too many activities at our own expense but also took us to so many different places to do shopping, which occupied much time. Besides, I don’t think the guide is competent enough because he had no good knowledge of the scenic spots and was rude to us. What was worse, the food served was of poor quality and the accommodation conditions were awful.

Hopefully, you can take all the above into careful consideration and also take some measures to improve your service. Yours sincerely, Tom
