Frederick M. Hess is the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, which is a nonprofit organization that conducts(进行) research on many public issues. He says that a long summer vacation doesn’t make sense(有意义) in today’s world.

Can American students afford to take a summer vacation? In a summer vacation, millions of kids spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doing shopping in the mall. They will also be putting their academic(学术性的) futures in danger.

Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn’t need an education to get a good job. But now things have changed. For today’s students,academic skills are important to students’ future success, but such skills are affected in the summertime. Many nations don’t give kids an American-style summer vacation. They offer no more than seven continuous weeks of vacation. Most American school districts offer up to thirteen weeks. To compete(竞争) in the global marketplace, Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.

Summer vacation also causes challenges for today’s families. In the 1960s, more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home Mom. Now, two-thirds of American children live in households where every adult works. For these families, summer vacation can be more burdensome(难以承担的) than break. Someone must watch the kids.

But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement. Researchers have found that disadvantaged students lose significant ground in the summertime.

A longer school year does not have to be an invitation to hard boring work. Instead, it should allow teachers to have more time to organize richer and more imaginative lessons. Schools would have more time to devote to athletics, languages, music and the arts.

Summer vacation can be a very good thing. But in the 21st century, it may also be outdated.

1. What’s Frede rick M. Hess’s opinion about summer holiday?

A. A long summer vacation is just a waste of time nowadays.

B. A long summer vacation is very common all over the world.

C. A long summer vacation doesn’t make sense in today’s world.

D. A long summer vacation is good for both children and parents.

2. In a summer vacation, millions of American students do the following things EXCEPT _____.

A. sending messages

B. watching TV

C. playing video games

D. helping parents

3. How long do most American students have for their summer vacation?

A. Less than two months.

B. Up to thirteen weeks.

C. No more than seven weeks.

D. About one month or more.

4. Why can summer vacation be more burdensome than break for some families?

A. Because these family members need time to organize some meaningful activities for kids.

B. Because these families need their children to work instead of having the summer vacation.

C. Because these family members are too busy with their work to look after the kids at home.

D. Because these families cannot afford the children’s education during the summer vacation.

5. What should a longer school year lead to?

A. More boring work for teachers.

B. More burden for parents with jobs.

C. More imaginative lessons for students.

D. More colourful activities for teachers.

C

Everyone knows that it’s hard to drink in space because of the low gravity, but Chinese astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong showed us how they drank tea on a TV show during the month-long trip in Shenzhou XI spaceship last year. They used a specially made tea cup and a special Pu’er cream to drink tea while standing upside down.

The Pu’er tea cream they dr ank is produced in Yunnan province, which is known for its P u’er tea industry.

“Drinking hot tea is harder,” said Jing Haipeng. “The difficult part of drinking tea in space is that there should not be anything left after the tea dissolves (溶解) in water, also, the solubility（溶解度）of the tea should be low since water in space can only be warmed to 60 degrees at most.”

The tea cream the astronauts drank is produced by Gongrunxiang Tea Industry Corp in Kunming. Zhang Guanghui, manager of Gongrunxiang, said that the company tries to produce a tea cream that’s a safe, healthy tea product. Tea products are often reported to be polluted by air and heavy metals. “I never imagined that one day our tea cream would help astronauts to drink tea in space,” Zhang said, adding that drinking tea in space can be seen as a turning point for the Pu’er tea industry.

“For us, astronauts’ drinking tea in space means our technology used in the tea industry has had some achievements,” Zhang said.“In the future, more tea producers will use it to improve the tea industry.”

1. What does the underlined word “it ” in the last paragraph mean?

A. The technology.

B. The industry.

C. The tea.

D. The space.

2. We can learn from the passage that _______________.

A. astronauts are able to enjoy many kinds of tea in space

B. the tea cream is reported to be polluted by air and heavy metals

C. the astronauts showed how they drank tea after returning to the earth

D. the technology used in the tea industry may help the astronauts drink tea

3. Which is NOT the reason why it’s difficult for the astronauts to drink hot tea in space?

A. Drinking is very hard in the low-gravity situation.

B. The solubility of the tea should remain the same.

C. They have to use a kind of specially made tea cup.

D. There should be nothing left after the tea dissolves in water.

4. Why does Zhang consider drinking tea in space is a turning point for the Pu’er tea industry?

A. He thinks it might help astronauts in space.

B. He thinks it might make Pu’er tea dissolve easily.

C. He thinks it might help improve the production of Pu’er tea.

D. He thinks it might help improve the tea industry and make Pu’er tea popular.

5. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Drinking Tea in Space

B. A Turning Point for the Tea Industry

C. The Month-long Trip in Space

D. Time to Improve the Tea Industry
