When we asked our parents about these kids, they replied in that slightly high-nosed tone, “Oh, theyre homeschooled.”Despite the disgrace which still s
16、urrounds homeschooling, parents who choose this form of education are finally getting their benefits. Since 1999, the number of parents who choose to homeschool their children has grown by 75%. And although the number of children in a homeschooling environment still only account for only 4% of the t
17、otal number of school-going youth, the number of parents choosing to give up “traditional” public education is growing seven times faster than the rate of children being enrolled in public schools each year.For those who argue that these numbers do not justify the effectiveness of a homeschooled edu
18、cation, we might instead look to the statistics. The typical homeschooled child scores in the 65th to 89th percentile on standardized testing, while the average child in a public school environment scores somewhere around the 50th percentile. Further, homeschooled children have been shown to score c
19、onsistently higher on the ACT and go on to earn higher GPAs as college students. Homeschooled children have even been shown to achieve four year degrees at much higher rates than students from public school and private schools.The benefits dont stop there. Whereas the average total expenditures for
20、a child in public school is near $10,000 a year, those for the homeschooled child average is somewhere between $500 and $600 a year. So not only does homeschooling provide educational benefits, but it provides financial payoffs as well.But what about socialization? Homeschooled children are consider
21、ed by many to lack basic social skills, supporters of homeschooling claim this is not true. The National Home Education Research Institute claims that homeschooled children have actually shown to become more socially engaged individuals than their peers, showing “healthy social, psychological, and e
22、motional development, and success into adulthood.”So what might the future bring? Will more parents opt for homeschooling than public schooling? And what can be done to stop the apparent downfalls in public schooling?24. The underlined words “Oh, theyre homeschooled” in Para. 1 suggests that parents
23、 _.A. are proud of their own children B. respect homeschooled kidsC. dont accept socially awkward kidsD. have a low opinion on homeschooling25. From Para. 2 we know that the trend of homeschooling _.A. is worrying B. is on the rise C. remains consistent D. is going downward26. The statistics in Para

25、al CIn recent years, experiments examining exercise and weight loss have found that people lose far much less weight than expected, considering how many additional calories(卡路里) they are burning with their workouts.Scientists have guessed that exercisers are likely to become hungrier and eat more af
26、ter working out. They also may sit longer when not doing exercise. Together or separately, these changes could make up for the extra energy used during exercise.To prove that possibility, scientists came up with the idea of using infrared light(红外线) to track mices movements in their cages. Then soft
27、ware can use that information to analyse their daily physical activity.So the researchers prepared special cages, putting inside some locked running wheels, and let mice roam(闲逛) and explore for four days in the cages. This provided the researchers with information about how many calories each mouse
28、 burned every day.Then the wheels were unlocked and for nine days, the mice could run at will, and they could decide how much to eat and when to get off the wheels, walking around. The mice,which enjoyed running, jumped readily on the wheels and started to run. On and off the wheels, they could run
29、for hours. They showed a following height in their daily energy expenditure(支出) since they had added exercise to their lives.But they did not change their eating habits. Although they were burning more calories, they did not eat more. They did, however, change how they moved. They now usually jogged
30、 on their wheels for a few minutes, jumped off, rested or roamed in a while, and then climbed back on the wheels, ran, rested, briefly roamed, and it repeated. These changes in how they spent their time almost counteracted(抵消) the extra calorie costs from running, says Daniel Lark, who led the new s
31、tudy.What caused the running mice to run less is still uncertain. But it does not seem to have been tiredness or lack of time; wheel running is not arduous for mice, and does not fill their waking hours. Dr. Lark says.Instead, he says, it is likely that the animals bodies and brains sensed the incre
32、asing energy expenditure when the mice began to run and sent out biological signals that somehow advised the animals to slow down, save energy and lose weight.Mice will never be people, of course, so we cannot say whether the results of this would directly apply to us, Dr. Lark says. But the results
33、 do indicate that if we hope to lose more weight through, we should watch what we eat and try not to move less while we work out more.28. What did NOT change for the mice in the experiment?A. How they moved.B. How long they ran.C. How much they chose to eat.D. How they spent their time.29. What happ
34、ened to the mice in the experiment according to the 6th paragraph?A. They didnt like to run the wheels.B. They ate more after running the wheels.C. They spent less time roaming in the cage.D. They didnt need rest after running the wheels.30. The underlined word arduous in paragraph 7 is closest in m
35、eaning to _.A. tiringB. energeticC. difficultD. different31. The purpose of writing this passage is _.A. to prove that scientists guess about exercising is wrongB. to introduce a recent research on exercise and weight lossC. to analyze how wheel running changes mices movementsD. to explain why eatin
36、g and running are bad for exercisersDTeenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. Thats the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us c
37、onnected while were on the go.Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract (抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shap
38、es. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. Thats the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they
39、 use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big a radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking.A phone users exposure to
40、 the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. Even the type of network signal that a phone uses can matter. Much of Switzerland was us
41、ing an older “second-generation” type of cell phone networks, the study reports. Many phone carriers (通讯公司) have moved away from such networks. And more companies plan to update their networks within the next few years.The teens scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year
42、to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but no
43、t another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.32. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE?A. The teens took two types of memory tests four times in to
44、tal.B. The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones.C. Researchers paid little attention to the teens habits of using phones.D. The teens ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.33. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. How people hold their phones has no ef
45、fect on their bodies.B. Phone users can make more money with new networks. C. The cell phone network type has little to do the cell phone use.D. Radiation levels are affected by the cell phone network types. 34. According to the study, teens who use their phones to their right ears a lot do worse in
