Ever feel li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ke there aren't enough hours in the day A group of time－challenged Canadian women are wishing for a 25－hour clock.www.21-cn-jy.com
Jessie Behan, presiden ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t of the 25th Hour Coalition (联盟)which is a group of Canadian women who have changed to a longer day, said the struggle for women to maintain work－life balance motivated (激励) her to research the body's natural clock.“Many of my girlfriends are having kids，getting married, and I see the sufferings of dealing all that when you're a working woman，”she said.“Women like myself are sick of living their lives by a 24－hour clock.”
A 2007 study by ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Charles Czeisler found a switch to longer days could be beneficial, especially for frequent travelers, shift workers, astronauts and those who experience trouble sleeping or waking.2·1·c·n·j·y
In a similar study, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Czeisler showed the body's natural clock averages 24 hours and 11 minutes in both young and older people.The current 360－degree clock has 720 minutes, giving each minute 0.5 degree.With the new 25－hour day, 30 minutes is added to each 12－hour period making each minute 0.48 degree.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
While still a re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )latively small movement－the 25th Hour Coalition has 160 Facebook members, Behan is hoping for large changes.“The goal is to get as many women on board; there's no harm in just trying it out and seeing.If it gets big, maybe the government will decide to standardize it.”【版权所有：21教育】
A recent onli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne survey by Reader's Digest, which included 150 people in each of the 13 countries, suggests it's not just Canadians looking for longer days.Readers were asked“what would you do with an extra hour”if given a choice between sleep, work, exercise and family time.In Spain, half of respondents said they'd like an extra hour in the day to devote to family time.The same was found for respondents in Brazil, the US and Britain, who chose family time over sleep, which came in at a close second.Only in India did work top the list with 50 percent of respondents claiming they could use an extra hour at the office.
1．Some Canadian wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rking women are campaigning for the 25－hour day in order to ________．
A．have more chances at work
B．keep a balance between life and work
C．experience something new
D．have a better sleep
2．Charles Czeisler tends to think that ________．
A．it's easy to adopt the 25－hour clock
B．it's hard to abandon the 24－hour clock
C．the 25－hour clock fits the body's natural clock
more
D．different people have different natural clocks
3．Why does Jes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sie Behan want more women to join the 25th Hour Coalition
A．Because she intends to make more Facebook friends.21·世纪*教育网
B．Because she hopes to get benefits from more people.
C．Because she considers it is harmless to form such an organization.
D．Because she thinks more women may allow the dream to come true.
4．What is implied in the last paragraph
A．Respondents from most nations want more family time.21教育网
B．Respondents from developed countries experience more stress.
C．Most Canadian respondents claim that they need more family time.
D．Respondents from India are the most hardworking of the 13 nations.

A few extra pounds m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ight help you live longer if you're past your prime but otherwise healthy，a new study finds.www.21-cn-jy.com
Doctors routinely f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ollow guidelines issued by the World Health Organization(WHO)．Because weight depends on height，they use a standard measure called body mass index(BMI)，which is calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the height in meters squared.
Healthy weight is des ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cribed as a BMI anywhere between 18.5 and 24.9 in adults，whereas 25 to 29.9 is overweight and 30＋is obese(肥胖的)．
The new study s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uggests that in the elderly，these boundaries may be too narrow.While no one is questioning that extra fat increases health risks in young and middle－aged adults，it may reduce the effect on old age，said Dr. Thomas Yoshikawa.
So far，nobody kn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ows exactly how BMI affects lifespan(寿命)in older people.Some researchers think that it acts as an energy reserve that can help the elderly cope with illness.
For the study，Australi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an researchers followed more than 9，000 men and women who were between 70 and 75 years old at the outset.The participants reported their height and weight as well as various factors related to health and lifestyle.About 33 percent of the women and 44 percent of the men were overweight.2·1·c·n·j·y
Over 10 years，mor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e than 2，000 of the participants died.Women who had an active life and didn't smoke were the most likely to be alive at the end of the study.But neither health nor lifestyle could fully explain why overweight people of both sexes survived longer than the normal－weight people，who fared no better than obese people.In terms of survival，the best BMI was between 26 and 27，well within the overweight range.www-2-1-cnjy-com
The new results agree ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )with earlier research showing that fat may be beneficial in old age.
5．What does the underlined word“prime”in Paragraph 1 mean
A．The time before retirement.
B．The strongest or most successful time.
C．The later years in life.
D．The years suitable to study and work.
6．If a person is 2 met ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers in height and 100 kg in weight，his BMI is ________．
A．30 B．28
C．25 D．20
7．We can infer from the passage that ________．
A．WHO should change the standard of BMI
B．we shouldn't lose weight when we are old
C．we needn't worry about our weight throughout our life
D．extra fat does more harm to the young than the elderly【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
8．What do we know about the study from the passage 21cnjy.com
A．It was done by WHO.
B．It lasted for more than 10 years.
C．Most of its participants were men.
D．It found women live longer than men.

President Obama wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll refrom America's public schools to deliver a 21st Century education that will prepare all children for success in the new global workplace.He will push to end the use of ineffective，“off－the－shelf”tests，and support new，state－of－the－art assessment and responsibility systems that provide timely and useful information about the learning and progress of students.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Teachers are the si ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ngle most important resource to children's learning.President Obama will invest in a national effort to reward outstanding teachers，while enlisting the best and brightest in the field of teaching.And he will challenge State and school districts to remove ineffective teachers from the classroom.
The President believ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es that investment in education must be accompanied by reform and innovation(创新)．He supports the expansion of high－quality charter schools(特许学校)．He has challenged States to lift limits that stop growth among successful charter schools and has encouraged strict responsibility for all charter schools.
President Obama h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as decided to ensure that America will regain its lost ground and have the highest proportion of students graduating from college in the world by 2020.The President believes that regardless of educational path after high school，all Americans should enroll in at least one year of higher education or job training to better prepare our workforce for the 21st century economy.

Long ago，poems ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) were recited out loud instead of being written down.When the Greeks first started the Olympics，they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions.
Now，poetry co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mpetitions have been revived(恢复)．This year 120，000 high school students competed in the first Poetry Out Loud National Recitation Contest，performing poems from memory for $100，000 in prizes.
The first competition ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s were held in classrooms.The winners went on to school－wide contests，and then they competed in city and state competitions.Finally，the 50 state champions，along with the District of Columbia champion came to Washington，D.C.for the last showdown.After the 51 champions competed against one another，12 went on to the finals.Then the field was narrowed to five.The final five had one last chance to“perform”a poem.The overall champ，Jackson Hille，a high school senior from Ohio，won a $20，000 scholarship.
The National Endowment ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud because they realized that hearing a poem performed is a different experience from reading it on a page.
It's not just a matter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of saying the words in the right order.It's the tone of voice，the pauses，the gestures，and the attitude of the person performing that bring the words to life.“Each time we hear somebody recite a poem，we find something fresh and interesting about it，”says National Public Radio Broadcaster Scott Simon，master of ceremonies for the finals.Hearing it in a new voice offers something new to the listener.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Not only do th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e people hearing poems have a new experience，memorizing and presenting poems helps the participants(选手)understand those poems in a new way.Another benefit of a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that the participants learn public－speaking skills that can help them for life.
