As a student, you always have too much homework, but you have to finish it. Here are a few tips to make homework less. * Make a homework plan. First, write the task down in your notebook. If you forget it, please ask the teacher again. Second, use any extra time in school to work on your homework. * Watch where you work. Find a place at home which doesnt need to be very large, just big enough to put your school things on it. Youd better not do it before a computer or on your comfortable bed. Its hard for you to concentrate on (集中精力于) your homework.* Get to work. When you start your homework at home, do the hardest problems first. Later, when youre more tired, you can do the simple ones. Dont spend too much time on a difficult problem. You can ask an adult or an older family member for help, or call or e-mail a classmate for advice.* Have a rest. Having a 15-minute rest every hour is good for you. After you finish your homework, check it over. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack. Now youre free to play outside.46.

When they saw their baby, they both cried out, “My goodness! How small it is! Its hairless and toothless! Its a monster!” They sent for（召唤） all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her. “When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,” the king said, “If you dont do this, youll have a beating.” The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the kings order. Just then, an old doctor came up. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, “but it takes time. We have to dig for something to make medicine from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years.” At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little baby. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth. The king and queen were very happy and gave the doctors expensive presents.51.The underlined words “ hairless and toothless “ in the first paragraph mean _.

When children learn to speak, other people do not correct their mistakes all the time. If we correct too much, they will stop speaking. Let themselves understand the difference between the language they speak and the language other people around them speak. Day after day, they will make some changes to make their language like other peoples language. In the same way, children can learn to do many other things without others help. For example, to walk, run, climb, and ride a bike- make themselves understand how they should do it. Slowly they can make some changes they need.But in school we never let a child himself find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We usually think he never knows his mistakes if we do not tell him or he never corrects them if we do not make him do it. We should try to let him find out the answers to the problems, and find good ways of working them out with the help of other children if he wants.Can teachers give the students answers if they do maths problems? Let them correct their homework all by themselves. When the students tell their teachers that they cant find the ways to get the right answers, the teachers should help them. Let the students know what they must learn, how to judge their own understanding（理解力）, how to know what they know or what they do not know. These are the most important.56. According to the text, if we correct too much, they will _.A. be happy B. speak better and betterC. stop speaking D. be more confident57. The text tells us that the children should learn things by _.A. listening to other peopleB. asking other people many questionsC. doing what other people doD. making mistakes and then correcting them58. Which of the following is right?A. Teachers shouldnt always correct the students mistakes when they make mistakes.B. Teachers shouldnt let the students make mistakes.C. Teachers should never give the students answers.D. Teachers should only give the students the answers when they do problems.59. The writer thinks the teachers in school should _.A. let the students help each otherB. teach the students less good waysC. correct more of their homeworkD. teach the students more book knowledge60. This text shows that learning to speak is _.A. different from learning other thingsB. more important than learning other thingsC. a very important thingD. just like learning other things（D）Chicago on a BudgetHow to have fun in Chicago without spending a lot of money?Sightseeing1.
