C

    Spending more than two hours a night doing homework leads to better results in English,math and science,according to a major study (by Pam Sammons,England) which has tracked the progress of 3 ,000 children over the past 15 years.

    Spending any time doing homework showed advantages,but the influence was greater for the students who put in two to three hours a night,according to the study published by the Department for Education in England.

    The scientists who did the research say their study emphasizes what students actually do rather than how much work the school has set.

    Pam Sammons,a professor of education at Oxford University,said that time spent on homework showed the influence of the school—if children were expected to do homework and if they enjoyed their subjects. “That's one of the reasons Indian and Chinese children do better. They put more time in it ,” he added 

    It's also reported that students who enjoyed school got better results. “Schools could make sure children had a better experience by improving the school environment,making schoolwork interesting and making children feel supported by teachers,w Sammons said.

     It is suggested that children aged 5 to 7 should be set one-hour homework a week,half an hour a night for 7-to 11-year-olds. Secondary schools were encouraged to set up two hours a night for 14-to 16-year-〇lds.

     “Headteachers should make their own homework policy,” the government says.

                   B 

Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood,in the United States. However,the real movie capital is Mumbai,in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay,and so the film industry there is called “ Bollywood”. Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood,more than 800 films a year.

However,the movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing,Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Bollywood films have many different features,such as singing,dancing,action,adventure,mystery and romance. This style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. “Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices (調(diào)味品) .

Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact,filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script is even finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.

Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such great need that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot (拍攝) scenes for several films on the same day using the same costumes and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story,shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors and directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than that of Hollywood movies.

28. Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films?

   A. Because they have romantic stories.

   B. Because they show Indian culture.

   C. Because they mix different features.

   D. Because they are longer than Hollywood films.

29. Bollywood movies are cheap to make because .

   A. the scripts are written by hand

   B. they are shorter than Hollywood films

   C. many movies reuse things from other movies

   D. the movies do not use any special skills

30. Which of the following would the writer probably agree with?

   A. Most of the Bollywood movies are quite similar to each other.

   B. It takes less time to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood.

   C. It costs more money to make a Bollywood movie than a Hollywood movie.

   D. It is difficult for Bollywood actors to work on several movies at the same time.

Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colors?

Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.

Some birds like eating locusts, but birds cannot easily catch them.

Why? It is because locusts change their colors with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other

pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.

If you study the animal life, you^l find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees.

Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

A.    are big animals

B.    are easily found by birds

C.    are dangerous to their enemies

D.    They have to move quietly.

(    )3. Bears and lions can not be easily seen because_.

A.    they have the colors much like the trees

B.    they move quietly

C.    they like brown and gray colors

D.    they live together

(    )4. Why can the fish mentioned in the last paragraph live up to now?

A.    Because it is very strong.

B. Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape.

C. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.

D.    Because it swims faster than any other fish.

(    )5. Which could be the best title for the passage?
