A
The other day I was washing the dishes in our kitchen while my youngest son was watching TV in the living room. Suddenly, I heard an old song from my childhood playing on TV. As the sweet music came into the kitchen, I found myself singing a few words, and even dancing along with it. Then I realized that it was a very long time since I had danced before my mother passed away.
In the days following my mother’s death，I had done my best to survive again. I had held my children and said I loved them as their mother. I had watched the autumn leaves with their beautifiil colors. My heart was still hurting and my moments of joy were few. Sometimes I would be on the road, passing an old bike which looked like the one my mother used to ride. It was so hard not having her here in my life.
When I found myself dancing again, I realized that I was doing just what my mother would have wanted me to do. She would be anxious if I felt so sad. She would have wanted me to dance again and to sing again. She would have wanted me to have joy again and share it with others. She would have wafited me to live and love on earth while my life goes on.
I promise my mother that I will continue to live even without her. I will continue to sing. I will continue to dance. I will continue to say “yes” to life and to love all the days I have left here.

Last week, the Education Report discussed schools that run all year round with shorter holidays in the summer. This week, we report about another public school change, a shorter school week.
In most of the United States, students attend classes for 5 days each week. Schools are supposed to hold classes for about 180 days a year. Recently, schools in some areas of the country have begun experimenting with the new teaching schedule (时间安排）of holding classes for 4 days a week. Classes would meet either Monday through Thursday, or Tuesday through Friday. Some schools in 12 American states are now using that schedule.
The students still have the same number of total (总、的)hours in class as before. But they attend school for a longer time on each of the 4 days. In Colorado, schools on the four-day week hold classes for 7.5 hours a day for 144 days. Traditional schools meet for 6 hours a day for 180 days.
Many schools on a four-day schedule ofifer special programs, trips or sports meets on the fifth day. According to the government, this allows students to have even more time in class than on the traditional schedule. Students do not have to miss school to go to the events. They can also go to doctors or deal with other important things on the fifth day.
The main reason for shortening the school week is that many small schools can save money by not providing meals or transportation for students on the fifth day. And they say research shows that students are not affected by the shorter week.
31. What have the schools in 12 American states tried recently?
A. A 3-day week schedule. B. A 4-day week schedule.
C. A 5-day week schedule. D. A 6-day week schedule.
32. Now, in Colorado, the total days in class has been reduced by .
A. 10% B. 20% C. 30% D. 40%
33. On the 5th day, students on a 4-day schedule mainly
A. take part in activities B. attend classes
C. review their lessons D. stay longer at school
34. For many small schools, their first concern on the new schedule is that •
A. they can develop students9 further interests
B. they can allow students lots more activities
C. they can reduce their school-running costs
D. they can reduce their total teaching hours
35. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Students in US spend less time at school than those in other countries.
B. School schedules are different in different parts of the United States.
C. The American government is trying to make school easier for the kids.
D. Most parents don’t like to have their kids at home on a week day.

How to Be a Good Tourist
We travel for work but also for fun and learning. New restaurants, galleries, temples and new architecture…These places are homes for people like us who live and work there. How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? Think about it   36 : There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.
Do your homework.    37 : Guides will help you when you get to site, but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit? You’d better check it out.
38 : Don’t go to your hotels for meals. Walk around, even if in the streets closest to your hotel. Eat in local restaurants .Talk to the locals. Learn a few in the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers .
Help preserve the sites. Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year, so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Some of these monuments are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows.  39 :This way, you don’t encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.
And here’s the big one—good manners are nearly universal.   40 : If that doesn’t sound like you, then give the world a break and stay home.
A. Experience the place.
B.Always have a cloth bag with you.
C.Read up on the places you want to visit.
D.Try to buy something from the local stores.
E. A good tourist is polite, positive and eco-sensitive.
F.We’ve cleaned up after ourselves and taken only good memories.
G. If we are good tourists, wherever we go, we try to make it a little better because of our visit.
