What is a good excuse to ask for some time off At your school, sickness may be the only one. But in British schools, family events are also well-accepted ones. The National Association of Head Teachers in the UK has written new guidelines about students asking for leave. They will allow parents to take their children out of school for family weddings or funerals(葬礼) or visiting an ill relative.
This is a change from the 2013 guidelines that stopped parents taking children out of school without permission. Otherwise, they could have got a fine of 60 pounds (about 600 yuan) or faced court. Family events were not proper excuses to get permission.
Many parents complained about this rule.
“Taking family events is very important for children's growth and that is a lesson the schools cannot ever teach our children." John Hemming, chairman of Parents Want a Say Organization, told The Independent.
The new change supports this idea and gives permission to students taking time off for family events. It's now OK for British students to take time off for family events.
In China, however, many students rarely have time off for family events.
“That's part of the reason for the generation gap(代沟)between parents and children,”Guo Hongxia, a researcher at National Institute of Education Sciences, wrote in China Education Daily.
24.In Chinese schools,_____is a good excuse to ask for time off.
A, any excuse B.only sickness C.school sport D. family events
25.In the UK now, parents won't be allowed to take out their children out of school
because of ______
A. family weddings B. family funerals C.fishing organization D. visiting an ill relative
26.Before 2013, ______could get a fine or face court after taking children out without
permission in the UK.
A. Parents Want a Say B. the head teachers of the school
C. children's teachers D. children's parents
27. According to the passage, we know that ____.
A. in the UK, there's a big generation gap between parents and children
B. in China, many students seldom have time off for family events
C. there's no difference between the rules of taking time off in the world
D. all the students aren’t allowed to take time off for family events
C
Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin’s chicken house in exchange for manure (肥料). The smell real burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example,just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.
As the vegetables started coming in,Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables,he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages,eggplants,potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally,Dad turned off the stove.The pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad,this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.
Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it The neighbours came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn't look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn't offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition,but it was surprisingly edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup.
28. Why did Dad clean Old Man McColgin's chicken house regularly
A. To earn some money for the family. B. To collect manure for his crops.
C. To get rid of the terrible smell. D. To set a good example to us.
29. What can we infer about Dad's stew
A. It is popular among the neighbours. B. It contains honey and vegetables.
C. It looks very wonderful. D. It tastes quite delicious.
30.What does the underlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean
A. Attract. B. Upset. C. Air. D.Shut.
31. What can we learn about Dad from the text
A. He is an experienced cook. B. He is a troublesome father.
C. He has a positive attitude to life. D. He suffers a lot from his disability.
D
Along with silk and paper,gunpowder is another invention by Chinese and the Silk Road helped it spread to the West. The dating of gunpowder is as early as 850 AD. The Chinese used gunpowder to make fireworks and for signal flares. Gunpowder was also thought to have been used in medicine and in alchemy(炼金术). This invention seems to have been discovered in China by accident —by alchemists when doing experiments.
The gunpowder used for military purpose was first recorded in 919 AD. By the 11th century,explosive bombs filled with gunpowder were introduced and used in China. The words “fire cannon” “rocket” and “fireball” appeared time and again in the official Song history as well as two other books written during the same period.
The first detailed description of using the “fire cannon” in warfare was in connection with a battle fought in 1126 when the Song army used it against the invading(入侵) enemy. The so-called “ fire cannon” was a tube made of bamboo filled with gunpowder which, when fired, threw a flaming missile(投掷物) towards the enemy. According to a description of a battle scene in 1132. it took two persons to carry a “fire cannon”, and the cannons were fired from a moving platform. And this platform had to be moved close to the wall of the besieged(被围攻的) city.
Gunpowder reached Japan, the Islamic countries and then Europe in the 13th century, and the Arabs improved gunpowder for military use. The early account of gunpowder in Europe was recorded by English philosopher Roger Bacon in the 13th century. One century later the Arabs used it to attack the Spanish town Baza and the next year in 1326 Florence ordered the manufacturing of cannon and cannon balls. From Italy the making of gunpowder soon spread to other European countries, and by the 1350s it had become an effective weapon on the battlefield.
32.Gunpowder was discovered _________.
A.by alchemists when they had an accident B.by alchemists after studying it for a long time
C.accidentally by alchemists D.experimentally by alchemists
33.Which of the following words can best describe a "fire cannon”
A.Convenient. B.Heavy. C.Useless. D.Simple.
34.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A.“fire cannons” at early times would be less helpful if they were far away from the object
B.alchemists devoted themselves to the study of gunpowder
C.the Silk Road spread to the West because of the invention of gunpowder
D.the first detailed description of using “fire cannons” in warfare was in 1132
35.What is the best title of the passage
A.Powerful Fire Cannons B.Four Inventions of Ancient China
C.The Discovery of the Alchemy D.Gunpowder

Dear Editor，
Rubbish is now one of the major environmental problems．
With the increasing population, masses of rubbish are produced every day and some rubbish does great harm to the environment. It pollutes the air, the soil and the water. Today it is evident that many cities are troubled by mountains of rubbish, which not only has a bad effect on our daily life but results in serious diseases．
In a nutshell, we must find a better way to deal with rubbish. First of all, rubbish should be put in different places according to whether they can be recycled or not. Secondly, we must make every citizen aware of the importance.
Besides, everybody must realize that it is everybody's duty to keep the environment clean.As far as I'm concerned, it is urgent that laws must be passed on how to deal with rubbish．
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
