Is the art of conversation dying? The other day, my wife   1  two teenage children did something we haven’t    2  for ages. It didn’t require the Internet, a TV screen, batteries… or anything else for that matter. But we all   3  it so much we’re thinking of doing it again sometime.
We had a conversation. The kind of real, live conversation that was   4  when I was growing up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mails but we seem to be losing the   5  of communicating face-to-face. We all know  6  young people are out on a date(約會(huì)）these days, they spend most of that time   7  their mobile phones. And teenagers nowadays seem to   8  communicating with their friends by sending text messages rather than actually   9  to them.
If we carry on like this，in the future, we’ll lose the use of our   10 . What do you think? E-mail me, and who knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!

Homework should be done as soon as you get home from school. If you have after-school activities, the homework should be done first. At the same time, it is fine to allow for a snack break and also to allow for stretching(拉伸的)breaks.
Also, you should remember that it is your duty to do your homework. Next time, when you want to depend on Mom and Dad for help, please try to find the answer yourself, because you will learn much, much more that way.
When you have a question, especially something about a science or math, don't always turn to your teacher! It is a good idea to try to find the answer yourself. If this doesn't work, you can also look at the materials in the back of the book. They may guide you to the pages you should look at to help you understand the problem.
Finally, while doing homework, don't think about or do other things. Keep working. Setting a time limit(限制) often helps with this. Different ages decide different amounts of time. 10-15 minutes is good for a child that's aged 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is about right for a child aged 9-12. Kids can keep studying for 30-45 minutes from the ages of 13 to 15. This, of course, depends on your abilities to pay attention and stay on tasks.
小題1:In the first paragraph, the writer mainly tells us that ______.
A．doing homework is the first thing you should do at home
B．a(chǎn)fter-school activities can't affect doing homework
C．parents can help kids with their homework at night
D．kids need a good rest after school
小題2: In the third paragraph, the writer wants to tell us that ______.
A．students should ask the teacher more questions
B．thinking over the questions before asking others is important
C．problems can't be solved without a teacher's help
D．students shouldn't always look at the materials in the back of the book
小題3:The passage mainly tells children ______.
A．not to look away while doing homework

A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th President of the United States, who met him and helped him escape punishment.
The event happened in the early morning hours on one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power, late in August,1923. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite (套房) at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had moved in several years before. The former President’s wife was still living in the White House.
Coolidge woke up to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain.
Coolidge spoke, “I wish you wouldn’t take that.”
The thief, gaining his voice, said, “Why?”
“I don’t mean the watch and chain, only the charm (表墜). Take it near the window and read the words on its back, ” the president said.
The thief read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidge.”
“Are you President Coolidge?” he asked.
The president answered, “ Yes, and the House of Representatives（眾議院）gave me the watch charm. I’m fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let’s talk this over.”
Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, “I’ll take this and leave everything else.”
Coolidge, knowing there was 80 dollars in it, asked the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.
Coolidge added up the roommate two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out 32 dollars and said it was a loan (借款).
He then told the young man, “There is a guard in the corridor(走廊).” The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered.
小題1:What caused the thief to meet the President?
A．He knew the president had lots of money.
B．He knew the president lived in the suite.
C．He wanted to be a rich businessman.
D．He wanted to steal some money.
小題2:Why did Calvin Coolidge live at the Willard Hotel in those days?
A．Because the former president was still in the White House.
B．Because the former First Lady hadn’t left the White House.
C．Because the hotel was suitable for the First Family to live.
D．Because the First lady liked to live there.
小題3:Coolidge counted out 32 dollars______.
A．in order to be out of danger
B．to make more money from the loan
C．in order not to be killed by the thief
D．so that the student could overcome his difficulty

In Britain you’re allowed to drive a car when you’re seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you’re learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren’t allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school --- a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take money for the lesson unless he’s got a teacher’s license.
Before you’re allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don’t pass the test, you’re allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When you’ve passed your test, you don’t have to take it again, and you’re allowed to go on driving as long as you like. Britain’s oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.
Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935. On the early days of car driving, before 1878, cars weren’t allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.
