But a Canadian couple have just won a legal 36 to free their children from homework after successfully arguing that there is no clear 37 that it improves academic performance.Shelli and Tom Milley, two lawyers from Calgary, Alberta, 38 their highly unusual case after years of 39 to make their three children do school work out of the classroom. After a long war with their eldest son, Jay, now 18, over his homework, they decided to do things 40 with their youngest two, Spencer, 11, and Brittany, 10. And being lawyers, they decided to make it 41 .It took two years to 42 the Milleys Differentiate Homework Plan, which ensures their youngest two children will never have to do homework again at their 43 school. The two-page plan, 44 by the children, parents and teachers, stipulates (约定) that “homework will not be used as a form of 45 for the children”. 46 , the pupils promise to get their work done in class, to come to school 47 , and to revise for tests. They must also read daily and practice their musical instruments at home.“It was a 48 homework battle every night,” Shelli told Canadas Globe and Mail newspaper. “Its hard to get a weeping child to 49 math problems. They are tired. They shouldnt be working a second 50 .” She then wondered, “Why did we let our family 51 through that stress? If we dont want it all, we shouldnt have to 52 it.”Two years ago, Shelli began 53 studies on homework, most of which suggest that, particularly for younger grades, there is no clear 54 between work at home and school performance. Working with the staff at St Brigid Elementary Junior High School, she formed a homework committee. When no firm changes resulted from the committee, the couple began negotiating the legal document that 55 the matter.“We think its a parents right to choose whats in our childrens best interests,” said Shelli. “But were grateful the school did the right thing.”36.

Your only goal in advertising is to show enough gold to get people to want to be a prospect (期望). Forget about selling them anything.Then how do you show them the gold? Keys to effective advertising are as follows.Talk to one person, and call his / her name.On a crowded Manhattan street, elbow-to-elbow with a sea of people, I still heard someone speak in a conversational voice “Mark.” I turned my head around. Of course he was talking to someone else, but it still caught my attention.You need to speak to one person, and call his / her name. In marketing, the next best thing to a personal name is your Who and What. For example, “Golfers” = who “have knee pain affecting their swing?” = what.Educate them in a helpful way.If you have room, take the time to explain one point that will help them with the problem they are facing. For smaller ads you can just point them towards a web page where you want to educate them about something helpful.For instance, “Most pain is actually caused by stress. Stopping the stress means decreasing or stopping the pain. Right now, just notice your knee pain. See if you can notice where your legs and hips feel tense, and breathe into the tension. As it relaxes, see how the pain feels.” If you have more space, you can go into more details.Offer a trade: their contact information for something valuable.“Of course, your knee pain isnt gone completely. This is just a clue. If youd like a free article with illustrations on how to decrease knee pain and help your swing, just leave your contact information and you will be given an additional golf swing tip every week.” You can just follow this example.Finally, dont ignore design.Keep it simple. In a loud, overcrowded world, simplicity and straightforwardness have the best chance of being noticed. Use plenty of white space, easy-to-read front (字体), and avoid complicated patterns.Besides, you can try Robin Williams (not THAT Robin Williams) book, The Non-Designers Design Book, Maybe you can learn something from it.Have fun with your advertising!56. Which of the following is a tip for advertising successfully?A. Call ones name whenever meeting with someone.B. Keep in mind that advertising is first journey marketing.C. Pay attention to design and keep it complicated if possible.D. Educate your potential customers about something helpful.57. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the passage?A. The golfers knee was hurt and he cant play golf any more.B. The golfer cant swing because of the knee pain and he needs treatment.C. The golfers knee pain was caused by stress and we should help him stop the stress.D. The golfer cant play golf any more and well speak to him and offer him some tips.BFantasy literature is fantasy in written form. Historically speaking, the majority of fantasy works have been literature. Since the 1950s however, a growing part of the fantasy genre (流派) has taken the form of video games, music, painting, and the like. It is difficult to define the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature, as stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since time immemorial. On the whole, the genre, as a distinct type, began to become visible in the Victorian times, in the works of writers such as William Morris, Lord Dunsany and George Macdonald.Some commentators declared that the South African-born, English professor of philology, J. R. R. Tolkien, was influential to the mass-popularization of the fantasy genre, with his hugely successful publications The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien himself, though, was largely informed by an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths particularly Beowulf but it was after his work that the genre began to receive the name, “fantasy”. J. R. R. Tolkiens close friend C.S. Lewis, author of the The Chronicles of Narnia, also an English professor interested in similar themes, was also connected with popularizing the commercial success of the fantasy genre.Outstanding authors in the genre who undertook popular fantasy works after Tolkiens The Lord of The Rings phenomenon of the 1950s and 1960s appeared quickly. In recent years, the rate of female-to-male authors in a typically-stocked bookstore has skyrocketed, with female authors surpassing the volume of the male ones.Fantasy has been famous from other forms of literature by its style. The fantasy world requires, like any genre, appropriate language, arid that language can vary. In various forms of fairytale fantasy, even the villains (坏人) language would be inappropriate if vulgar (粗俗的). Famous fantasy author Raymond E. Feist considered his genre to be one where “ordinary people” were placed in extraordinary situations, and writing about what would happen.58. How many fantasy writers are mentioned in this passage?A. Five.B. Six.C. Seven.D. Eight.59. The underlined word “skyrocketed” in the third paragraph means .A. rise rapidly and suddenlyB. drop rapidly and suddenlyC. rise slowly and steadilyD. drop slowly and steadily60. This passage is mainly about .A. the background of fantasy literatureB. some famous works about fantasy literatureC. the origin and its popularity of
