26、Homework

Do arithmetic problems 15 through 25. State the different forms of the verbs on page 50 of your French workbook. Read pages 12 through 20 of the Shakespeare play, and don't forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the worksheet.

Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights — or maybe even just for tonight? 【1】 It's your teachers' way of evaluating how much you know what's going on in class. And it helps strengthen important concepts.

【2】 It's inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, you'll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so it's best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when you're more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you can — but don't spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night. 【3】 But don’t pick someone whom you'll be up all night chatting with, or you'll never get it done!

Most people’s attention spans aren't very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people. 【4】

Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack — there's nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can't find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister. 【5】 Now you're free to hang out.

A．Homework is a major part of going to school.

B．Luckily, you can do a few things to do less homework.

C．If you need to, ask an adult for help or call or email a classmate for advice.

D．And no teacher still believes that "chewed by the dog" line — even when it's true!

E．When you start your homework, deal with the hardest tasks first.

F．But if you're really concentrating, wait until it's a good time to stop.

G．In conclusion, no one is expected to stay long, and people have very different learning styles.

27、   Silvano Lattanzi, the master of made — in — Italy shoemaking, was totally conquered by a painting hung in the entrance hall of the very modem Rich Gate, the luxury district in Shanghai.

The painting, before which he knelt down to show his admiration, is the Rich Gale Rose painted by Liu Linghua. who's known as the “Chinese Van Gogh".

It was in May 2016 that Lattanzi first met Liu Linghua who was working on his 15-square-meter great piece. Lattanzi, from the country where Renaissance began, saw the painting accidentally and was immediately impressed by its beauty. He told others that he never imagined that western oil-painting techniques could be developed so well by a Chinese and that this was the best painting he had ever seen.

In the eyes of westerners, Lattanzi is a great master of shoemaking, fashion and arts. His admiration for the Rich Gate Rose well shows the high level of  Liu’s painting. Ever since this, the two art masters of different nationalities, different ages and different cultural backgrounds have forged a profound friendship.

When Lattanzi came back to China six months later with the pair of shoes he made for Liu, he insisted on delivering the shoes to Liu himself. The two friends met again al the Rich Gale and Liu Linghua presented an embroidery （刺绣）of his master work The Drunken Beauty in return.

Liu expressed repeatedly that his works should be explained by painting and not the words of compliments. He does not care about the titles, though he is on par with the greatest painters. A leading light or a grand master of art, Liu pays little attention to it. Liu thinks actions are more important than words.

28、Is a college education worth the price? This is a question more Americans are asking as college costs continue rising and the job market remains weak.

Attending a four-year college in the United States can cost more than $40,000 a year. Many people with a college education are drowning in student debt. They had to borrow money to finance their education.

A recent study suggests that a college education is worth it, at least in the United States. The study found that someone with a 4-year college education earns twice as much as a high school graduate over a lifetime. And for nearly all study programs, an individual with a four-year bachelor’s degree（学士学位） earns even more than someone with a two-year degree.

But not all college majors have a guarantee (保证) of good wages. For example, a chemical engineer can expect to earn double the earnings of a social worker over a lifetime. On average, a finance graduate makes more than a nurse or medical aide, while the nurse makes more than an elementary school teacher.Generally, college majors that require skill in mathematics have high lifetime earnings. Graduates in computer science, engineering, and physics have the highest wages. Majors that involve teaching children or counseling have the lowest pay. Actually, graduates with bachelor’s degrees in some fields earn even less than people with a 2-year associate’s degrees over a lifetime. They include early childhood education, elementary education, and social work.

The Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution noted that future earnings should not be the only reason for choosing a college major. It says, “Personal enjoyment, engaging in meaningful work, and filling a social need should also enter into a student’s decision-making.” The numbers are only averages and there are many exceptions.

“College degrees may not be a guarantee of higher income, but they come closer than just about any other investment (投资) one can make.” said study organizers.

【1】What is the problem many American college students face?

A．No personal enjoyment

B．No job opportunities

C．Rising education costs

D．Lack of professional guidance

【2】Which major will an American college student probably choose in order to earn more money?

A．Childhood education.

B．Elementary education.

C．Social work.

D．Computer science.

【3】What is the study organizers’ attitude to college education from the last paragraph?

A．A college education is worth the price.

B．A college education is worthless at all.

C．A college education means high incomes.

D．A college education promises a happy life.

29、“I have travelled the world for 25 years in search of trouble,” admits Dr David Nott in his recent autobiography, War Doctor: Surgery on the Front Line. “It is a kind of addiction, a pull I find hard to resist.” This pull has seen him use his surgical skills to help those in need by taking unpaid, month-long breaks from his “day job” as an NHS surgeon in the UK every year to work in conflict zones and disaster areas.

He first worked in Sarajevo in 1993 as a volunteer with the French charity Médecins Sans Froatières. The hospital be worked in had so many holes in its walls caused by bombing and sniper (狙击手) fire that it was called the “Swiss Cheese Hospital”. It was his first insight into the terrifying reality of treating patients in a war zone. The hospital suffered power cuts during operations and he and his team were regularly shot at.

But Nott found this exhilarating. “Going to Sarajevo, almost getting killed, I had never felt so wonderful. I really felt as though somebody bad injected me with something. I felt fantastic. I think to skirt death — and then to realize how close you are to death and that you survived it — is exciting. And that’s the experience I’ve had many times over.”

This attitude may seem reckless (鲁莽的), but it means that Nott has saved lives in desperate situations. In Gaza in 2014, he decided not to abandon a young girl in the middle of surgery despite being told that the hospital was about to be bombed. He carried on, no bombs fell and the girl survived. He has kept a photograph of them taken together three days later. In Yemen, he operated on the wife of a bomb-maker who had accidentally blown up his own house. Nott found a detonator (雷管) buried in her leg and bad to carefully dispose of it before continuing the operation.

【1】What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Travelling the world.

B．Working as a surgeon in a war zone.

C．Performing surgeries on his patients.

D．Taking month-long breaks from his day job.

【2】When was the book War Doctor: Surgery on the Front Line, probably published?

A．In 1993.

B．In 2014.

C．In 2018.

D．In 2021.

【3】What makes the experience thrilling according to Nott?

A．The feeling of narrowly escaping death.

B．The thought of saving lives.

C．The improvement of his surgery skills.

D．The difficulty of working in desperate situations.

【4】Which of the following words can best describe Dr. David Nott?

A．Modest and courageous.

B．Generous and strict.

C．Careless and aggressive.

D．Adventurous and selfless.
