This month millions of American kids can forget about classroom bells and set off for grandparents' homes,sleepaway camps and lifeguard stands.But summer vacation hasn't always been a birthright of U.S.schoolchildren.Before the Civil War,schools operated on one of two calendars (日历),neither of which included a summer vacation.Rural (农村的)schooling was divided into summer and winter terms,leaving kids free to help with the farm work in the spring planting and fall harvest seasons.Urban students,meanwhile,regularly had as many as 48 weeks of study a year,with one break per quarter.
直接信息题一般能在文中直接找到明确的信息,往往只考查文章中的个别事实,通常只涉及原文一两句话的信息。也就是说,命题者设置的题目比较直接,理解字面意思即可作答。
根据文章中的第三、四两句可知,在美国南北战争前,美国的农村学校让学生们帮助春种秋收,即帮助父母干农活。故答案选D。
What did the rural school calendar before the Civil War allow children to do?
A.Enjoy a summer vacation. B.Take a break each quarter.
C.Have 48 weeks of study a year. D.Assist their parents with farm work.
[答案] D

And on Tuesday,August 23rd,witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on.And she's not the only one.In the moments before the quake,an orangutan (猩猩)let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.
“It's very different from their normal call,”said Brandie Smith,the zookeeper.“The lemurs (monkey like animals of Madagascar)will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”
But you can't see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens,can you? Maybe you can—if you're an animal.
“Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,”said Brandie Smith.“That's part of their special abilities.They're more sensitive to the environment,which is how they surv
