How long should the school year be In traditional (传统的) schools, children are in school over the fall and winter months for about 180 days, and then are out of school for months. In the 21st century, some schools started to move towards year-round schooling. Year-round schooling still has students in school for 180 days, but they aren’t there continuously (连续地), for example, students in school for 60 days and then out for 20 days.
When students have two consecutive(连续的) months off school, they don’t always remember what they learn during the school year. Teachers refer to(指) this as Summer Learning Loss. Summer Learning Loss doesn't only refer to the information that the students learned, but also the study habits that they had.
If students are always getting a few weeks off every few months, they will not become tired from school. Many teachers in traditional schools agree that with short rest students can be full of energy before going back to school.
In the adult world, most people don't work for nine months and then take three months off. This is often a hard adjustment for students to make when they go to work in the future. If a student goes to a year-round school, he or she is more used to working all over the year.
( )1. This passage mainly talks about_______.
A. the teaching of year-round schools B.the benefits (好处) of year-round schooling

A. They don't have two consecutive months' holiday.
B.They don't have to do a lot of homework.

A. more tired from school B. much happier
C. more interested in learning D. better at social life
( )4. The underlined word “adjustment” may mean “________”.
A. time B.plan C.change D.job
( )5.What can we infer (推断)from the passage

四、阅读短文,按要求回答问题(答案不超过6个词)
Most high schools in the United States publish a yearbook once a year, usually in spring. It is a record of the school year---a "book of memories" for the students.
Inside a yearbook is each student's photo. The seniors are graduating soon, and their photos appear first. Next are the juniors. They are one year behind the seniors. Then come the second- year students. The last photos are the first-year students. The yearbook is not only about students. The teachers have photos, too.
The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of extracurricular activities. These are activities that students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design and take photos all year for the yearbook.
In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors vote and choose the "class clown" (a funny student), the "most likely to succeed"(a student who got the best grades), and the "best dressed"(a student with a good fashion sense). There are also other awards.
Students usually sign each other's yearbooks. This is especially important for the seniors because they are graduating. Students write notes to each other, such as "We had a lot of fun" or "I'11 never forget you". They also write about the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together.
