Kindergarten—which means “garden for children” in German—is not kindergarten any more. It’s yesterday’s first grade, or even second.
A 2014 study compared kindergarten teachers’ expectations for their students in 1998 to today. The differences were striking. In 1998, 31 percent of teachers thought that kindergarten students should be able to read by the end of the year. By 2014, that figure is now about 80 percent. More than a third kindergarten teachers now think that kids should enter school already knowing the alphabet and how to hold a pencil.
Besides, the researchers found huge decreases in the amount of self-directed, creative play time—dress up, art, sand and water play—and increases in the amount of time students were involved in teacher-directed, whole-class instruction.
Unfortunately, kindergarten today ignores a basic fact of young children’s development that is well-known by early childhood educators: normal development in young children occurs at very different rates and in very different ways. For example, the average age that a baby starts to walk is 12 months, but some kids start walking at eight or nine months and others at 15, or even 16, months.
Similarly, the average age that a child learns to be an independent reader is about six and a half. Some learn to read at four, and others at seven, and both extremes are developmentally normal. In the fourth grade, kids who learned to read at four are typically not any better at reading than those who started at seven. Countries like Finland and Sweden do not even start formal academic schooling until age seven.
We need to respect children’s personal developmental timelines. The idea that “earlier is better” for reading instruction is simply not supported by research evidence. Children’s long-term achievement and self-identities as readers and students can be damaged when they are introduced to reading too early.
1.What can we infer from the text?
A. Kindergarten has been replaced by first or even second grade.
B. Kindergarten teachers have higher expectations for students now.
C. Kindergarten students’ intelligence has been largely improved.
D. Children should know the alphabet before entering kindergarten.
2.What will probably happen to children who learn to read at 7?
A. They will perform best among their classmates.
B. They will have difficulty becoming an independent reader.
C. They will catch up with those who learn to read earlier.
D. They will fall behind those who learn to read earlier forever.
3.What should kindergarten teachers do according to the text?
A. Increase the time in whole-class instruction.
B. Pay more attention to children’s academic level.
C. Encourage children to learn at their own pace.
D. Raise children’s competitive spirit at an early age.
4.How does the author feel about the present education in kindergarten?
A. Ashamed. B. Cautious. C. Satisfied. D. Concerned.

Tips for cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time.1.. Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
1.Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the 
right materials（材料） ready?2.
2.Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread?3.It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3.4.This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation(实验). It gives you the chance to come up with new ideas and recipes（食谱） that can work well with your appetite（食欲） and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start. 5.And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A. Try new things.
B. Make three or four instead.
C. Ability is easily improved.
D. Understand your food better.
E. Cooking is a burden for many people.
F. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
G. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

Not long ago, people could only buy organic food in small shops. Today it is common in most major supermarkets. The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals. Since the 1990s, organic farm production has gone up 20 percent every year. This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.
Australia leads the world in land used for organic agriculture. It has four times as much land devoted to organic farming as all of Asia. However, most of the land is not very fertile, and it only produces a modest amount of food. Argentina is a distant second, followed by Brazil, the United States and China. In Africa, only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming. That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals. In fact, many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them. Yet there are no programs for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals. Without these programs their food can never be approved organic.
India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming. Like many other countries, India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world. This, of course, leads to growth in profits. Sales of organic food were more than doubled from 2000 to 2005. Like India, many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales. This has led to criticism. Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money. They think the goal is to help the environment. Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable. They say that people should be able to make money while providing food that is healthy to mankind.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Countries all want to make money from organic farming.
B. Organic food has become much more common.
C. People do not want to eat food with chemicals in it.
D. Farming organically is growing around the world.
2.Why do people want to increase organic farming?
A. Organic food is good for the Earth and the human beings.
B. More and more people demand chemicals to grow food.
C. Profits from organic farming help make approval programs.
D. There are fewer chemicals available to the human beings.
3.From the passage, it can be said that __________.
A. China and India have the same amount of organic farmland
B. India uses the least land to farm organically
C. the US is the fourth largest organic farming country
D. Brazil uses less land to farm organically than China
4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. there will be fewer organic farms if demand for organic food goes down
B. people who eat food with chemicals have shorter lifespan
C. India will soon become the largest grower of organic food
D. more countries will farm organically as the environment gets worse
