 【小题1】 
Today,kids have more worries and face more pressures than ever before. Here are a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school.
●Create a personal schedule
Recording everything that must be done on a calendar or “to do” list will help him to keep track of important dates and deadlines. If he keeps it in a visible place he will have no problem acknowledging upcoming events and will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time.
●Watch the clock
 【小题2】  I also recommend setting his clock or watch five minutes ahead since it's always easy to run late. When it comes to something like catching a bus,just five minutes can make a significant difference.
●Focus
He should train himself to be able to concentrate alone on one specific task. This is much easier in a noise­free environment. No TV or radio should be on to distract him.
 【小题3】 
Lack of sleep is proven to harm us physically. The more sleep we get,the more alert we are. We thus have more energy to handle life's daily tasks. The average adult needs at least six hours of sleep a night and the average child needs at least eight.
●Stay in shape
Through spending time outdoors or playing sports with friends,he can “blow off some steam” so to speak,as well as re­energize. 【小题4】 
●Talk through your problems
Be able to share his concerns with you.  【小题5】  If you make it clear that you understand him and are willing to help,not only will you contribute to his emotional health but you'll help build an open and honest relationship as well.

A.Sharing feelings often makes them easier to deal with.
B.Help your child work better to realize his aim.
C.Setting an alarm for the morning is a must.
D.Get enough sleep.
E.Help your child do better in school.
F.Encourage your child to be positive.
G.Encourage him to get outside.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    Industrial pollution is not only a problem for the countries of Europe and North America but also an extremely serious problem in some developing countries.【小题1】They want to introduce industries, and so they put few controls on the industries which cause pollution.
    Cubatao, an industrial town of 85 000 people in Brazil, is an example of the connection between industrial development and pollution. In 1954, Cubatao had no industry.【小题2】 The people of the town are suffering from the poisonous matter in their environment.【小题3】Birth shortcomings are extremely common. Among children and adults, lung problems are sometimes twelve times more common in Cubatao than in other places.
   【小题4】However,  these laws are not strict enough. It is cheaper for companies to take no notice of the laws and pay the fines(罚款) than to buy the expensive equipment that will reduce the pollution. It is clear, therefore, that economic growth is more important to the government than to the health of the workers.
   However, the responsibility does not completely lie with the Brazilian government. 【小题5】A number of the factories in the town are owned by large companies from France, Italy, and the U. S. They are doing things in Brazil that they would not be able to do at home. If they caused the same amount of pollution at home, they would be severely punished or even put out of business.

A.So the bad effects can be clearly seen.
B.It is true that Brazil has laws against pollution,
C.For these countries, economic growth is a very important aim.
D.The pollution in Cubatao is caused by the changes of the companiess.
E.The government should play an important role in controlling pollution.
F.Today it has more than twenty large factories, which produce many pollutants(污染物).
G.The example of Cubatao shows that international companies are not acting in a responsible way either.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
A. Goods for auction (拍卖) sales
  B. Definition of bidding
  C. Way to sell more goods by auction
  D. Auction sales in history
  E. Brief introduction to auctions
  F. Making a larger profit as an auctioneer
【小题1】______
Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.
【小题2】 ______
The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increasing”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.
【小题3】 ______
Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.
【小题4】 ______
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.
【小题5】 ______
The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.

阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
[1]Global difference in intelligence is a sensitive topic, long filled with a large number of different opinions. But recent data has indeed shown cognitive (认知的) ability to be higher in some countries than in others. What's more, IQ scores have risen as nations develop—a phenomenon known as the "Flynn effect". Many causes have been put forward for both the intelligence difference and the Flynn effect, including education, income, and even non-agricultural labor. Now, a new study from researchers at the University of New Mexico offers another interesting theory: intelligence may be linked to infectious-disease rates.
  [2]The brain, say author Christopher Eppig and his colleagues, is the "most costly organ in the human body". Brainpower consumes almost up to 90 percent of a newborn's energy. It's clear that if something affects energy intake while the brain is growing, the impact could be long and serious. And for vast parts of the globe, the biggest threat to a child's body—and therefore brain—is parasitic (由寄生虫引起的) infection. These illnesses threaten brain development________________. They can directly attack live tissue, which the body must then try every means to replace. They can invade the digestive pipe and block nutritional intake. They can rob the body's cells for their own reproduction. And then there's the energy channeled (输送) to the immune system to fight the infection.
  [3]Using data on national "disease burdens" (life years lost due to infectious diseases) and average intelligence scores, the authors found they are closely associated. The countries with the lowest average IQ scores have the highest disease burdens without exception. On the contrary, nations with low disease burdens top the IQ list.
  [4]If the study holds water, it could be revolutionary for our understanding of the still-confusing variation in national intelligence scores.
【小题1】What is the main idea of the text?(no more than 10 words)________________________
【小题2】Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 4 words)
  Those countries that have the ________________ are always at the bottom of the  IQ list.

___________                                                                
【小题4】What can cause intelligence difference?(no more than 8 words)
