The National Literacy Trust once did some researches on reading. About 32, 000 children from different schools in the UK answered the questions from it. These children are aged from 8 to 18.
The research shows that children in the UK are reading less in their free time. Just over a quarter of the students said they read outside school. About the same number said their parents didn’t feel that reading was important. Half of those students said they enjoyed reading “very much” or “quite a lot”. About two in five thought reading was “cool”, but about one in three said they only read when they had to.
Jonathan Douglas from the National Literacy Trust said, “Our research not only shows that children are reading less and having negative attitudes to reading but also shows the relationship between this and their performance in reading tests.”
The research also finds that many children in the UK like to read e-books outside school. The percentage in 2014 was about 6% and it grew to 12% in 2015.
In today’s world, there are so many activities for children to do. But if they sit down and do some reading, they will find reading is really interesting and useful.
36．How many students answered the questions from the National Literacy Trust

American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their subjects and teachers first.
Selecting is very important for your grades in America. So at the first term, don’t select too many subjects, or you’ll feel very nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, timetables, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him. Because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.
There is another thing after you select the subjects and the teacher. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about $30-50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.
In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They don’t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like.
Choose the right answer according to the passage.
41．What does underlined word "select" mean
A．Choose. B．Like. C．Treat. D．Take.
42．According to the text, American students ______.
A．don't have to ask for teaching plans
B．don't have to choose teachers
C．would like to choose strict teachers
D．usually buy some used textbooks in order to save money
43．Which of the following is NOT TRUE

B．Students won't choose the teacher who leaves too many exams.
C．Students will choose the teacher who is called "killer".
D．Students won't choose the teacher who gives too low marks.
44．What is important in American class

Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge(挑战). Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times.
