I dont think its a big problem for parents. They just have to stay at the school gate for a little longer. Also, its very cro
11、wded around school gates in the morning. Traffic accidents can happen. Depending only on school guards is not enough. If parents can help, there will be fewer accidents.Li Minyi, 14, YubeiOn weekdays, guarding schools and keeping students safe should be the schools responsibility not the parents. Al
12、so, the time during which they have to stand guard is usually about 7:40 to 8:00 am, the morning rush hour. Some parents might get caught in a traffic jam and be late for their work. I dont think this task should fall on the parents.Sun Run, 14, BeibeiThis request is not just about childrens safety,
13、 but also supporting the school. It is a good way to improve relations between parents and schools.

And the fact that he does it all with a sewing machine just makes that much more impressive.Arun was really good at drawing and painting while growing up and dreamed of becoming a famous painter, but his father died suddenly 15 years ago, whic
18、h destroyed his plans and forced him to give up school in order to run the family business. His father was a tailor and he became one too, but he didnt let the artist in him die. He started “painting” with a needle and thread, but instead of using his hands, he decided on a rather unusual tool the s
19、ewing machine. It took him a while to master this unique art form, but today he is recognized as the worlds only sewing machine artist. His works become very popular both in India and abroad. Its easy to see why, just by looking at them, but what really makes his embroideries special is the tool he
20、uses.“You need to be very careful because once youve stitched (缝合) the cloth, theres no way you can repair it,” Arun said. “Its all done in a single layer to give the painting a neat look.”Some of Aruns most impressive works include a 42 feet painting of the court of Ranjit Singh which took the arti

24、ewing machine painter.CThere was a time in the 1960s and 1970s when some people believed that coffee would replace tea as Britains favourite drink, but that did not happen, and today, tea remains Britains favourite drink.To say that the British are fond of tea is something of an understatement (轻描淡写
25、). From the Royal (皇室的) Family down to the homeless and the out-of-work, tea is more than just a pleasure. It is an important part of life!The popularity of tea in the United Kingdom has a long history. It was in 1657 that Thomas Garway, the owner of a coffee house, sold the first tea in London. The
26、 drink soon became popular as another choice besides coffee.In those days, however, tea was not something for anyone. For a century and a half, it remained an expensive drink. Many bosses served a cup of it to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British institution,
27、the “tea break”. But as a social drink outside the workplace, tea was served for the nobility (贵族) and for the growing middle classes. Among those who had the money for tea, it became very popular as a drink to be enjoyed in cafs and “tea gardens”.It was the 7th Duchess of Bedford who, in around 180
28、0, started the popular “afternoon tea”, which took place at about four oclock. At about the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread with something (e. g. jam) between them, and before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon with tea and sandwiches had become part
29、 of a way of life.As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through British society. In working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a days labour. This meal has become known as “high tea”.To
30、day, tea can be drunk at any time of day. Most people in Britain drink tea for breakfast. The mid-morning “tea break” is an institution in British offices and factories. Later in the day, “afternoon tea” is still a way of life in the south of England and among the middle classes, while “high tea” ha
31、s remained a tradition in the north of Britain.28. Who played an important part in the beginning of tea time in England?A. Thomas Garway. B. The Royal Family.C. The Earl of Sandwich. D. The Duchess of Bedford.29. What does the underlined word “institution” mean in paragraph 4?A. drink B. workplaceC.
32、 tradition D. order30. What can we learn from the text?A. The “tea break” kept the workers from being sleepy after lunch.B. Workers could enjoy a cup of tea in “tea gardens” at their workplace.C. “High tea” was usually served with the main meal for the middle classes.D. The “afternoon tea” together
33、with sandwiches became popular in around 1800.31. What is the best title for the text?A. The Popularity of Tea B. Tea and the BritishC. Tea and the Middle Class D. The History of TeaDThe journey of a hi-tech message in a bottle has revealed the damage of plastic(塑料) pollution as it was tracked more
34、than 1,700 miles in a few months.British researchers put GPS and satellite tags in 25 plastic bottles, and left them to drift (漂流) in the river Ganges(恒河) and Bay of Bengal(孟加拉湾) in India. Using mobile phones and satellite networks, the team tracked the containers across the sea with one crossing 1,
35、768 miles in just 94 days. They hope the tech could be a “powerful tool” for raising awareness and changing behaviour. “Our message in a bottle tag shows how far and how fast plastic pollution can move,” said lead author Dr Emily Duncan, of the University of Exeter. “This is a truly global issue, as
36、 a piece of plastic dropped in a river or ocean could soon be washed up on the other side of the world,” she said. “Bottles in the Ganges moved in stages and got stuck but once at sea covered greater distances, following coastal currents before dispersing (扩散) more widely.”The 500ml containers were
37、made the size, shape and buoyancy (浮力) of one normal plastic drink bottle to copy the movement of real rubbish. And open source hardware was used for the electronics inside, meaning researchers can “copy, modify or improve the solution we presented to track other plastics,” the team said.“This could
38、 be used to teach about plastic pollution in schools, with children able to see where their bottle goes,” said another researcher. “Data from these tags could feed into global models to give us a clearer picture of how plastic moves across the ocean and where it ends up.”32. Why did the researchers
39、put GPS and satellite tags in the bottles?A. To learn the bottles travel route.B. To measure the bottles drifting time.C. To prevent the bottles from being lost.D. To test the satellite network technology.33. What can be inferred about plastic pollution according to Emily Duncan?A. It has caused glo
40、bal concern.B. It cant be effectively monitored.C. It spreads more quickly than expected.D. It can be controlled in the early stage.34. What can we know about the bottles used in the research?A.

41、more buoyancy.35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The benefit of the research. B. The findings of the team.C. The tracks of the bottles. D.
