Whenever summer is around the corner,you may already be dreaming about how you’ll spend your break.Chances are that staying in school is not your top pick.But for 13yearold Simone Jones of Philadelphia—and more than 2 million other students in the U.S.—going to school in the summer is the only choice.That’s because Simone goes to a yearround school.
In fact,yearround schools have almost the same number of vacation days as traditionalcalendar schools.In a yearround school,summer break is usually shortened to about four weeks;the remaining vacation time gets spread out over the rest of the year.Simone,for example,gets a few weeks off in the fall,winter,and spring.
That extra time off during the school year can be a good thing.“Everyone thinks a yearround school is hard,” says Simone.“But the little breaks take a lot of pressure(压力) off us.”
Reorganizing the year can prevent summer learning loss—that is,forgetting what you’ve learned from the prior(之前的) school year.However,there is a downside.In fact,some schools have tried yearround schedules(时间表) only to turn back when it was difficult to carry out.Try setting up a soccer game with another school when you’re on a break every few weeks.Planning family trips can be difficult too,especially if siblings(兄弟姐妹) are on different school schedules.
What does summer vacation mean in our culture? It’s an American tradition,a time to create lasting memories.But is tradition a good enough reason to keep it around? Summer break began 120 years ago,when it was very hot in the summer,so schools started closing.Today,we have air conditioning.And most parents work.For many kids,summer days are spent mostly indoors,playing video games and watching TV.Clearly the world has changed.Is it time for summer break to change,too?
4.What can we know from paragraph 1?
A.Many students prefer to go to a yearround school.
B.There is no summer holiday in a yearround school.
C.Summer is a good time for students to improve themselves.
D.Students have to attend school in summer in a yearround school.
5.In what way are yearround schools different from traditionalcalendar schools?
A.The number of vacation days.
B.How the holidays are organized.
C.What subjects students may choose.
D.When students go to school every day.
6.What does the underlined word “downside” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Danger. B.Choice.
C.Problem. D.Duty.
7.What is the author’s opinion about summer vacation?
A.It was started in the early 19th century.
B.It is a tradition for people to keep alive.
C.It doesn’t have to be that long any more.
D.It is a good time for kids to enjoy themselves.
C
Raegan Byrd tries to finish her homework every night.But the high school student in Hartford,Connecticut,has to use her mobile phone to search for the necessary information because she does not have Internet connection at home.
In May,the US Department of Education (DOE) published its findings that the number of homes without access(接入) to Internet has been getting smaller,but 14 percent of homes in city areas and 18 percent of homes in the countryside still do not have Internet connections.
In some states,the problem is much more serious.For example,in the countryside of northern Mississippi,a third of the 294 homes in Maben do not have computers.And close to half have no access to Internet whether they can pay for it or not.
Sharon Stidham,a mother in Maben,has to take her four boys to the school library at East Webster High School.Her husband works there,so the children can use the Internet for their schoolwork.A signal tower can be seen through the trees from their home,but they could not put aside any money for the Internet.Research results from the National Center for Education (NCE) have shown that students with Internet at home get much better scores in reading,math and science than the ones who do not.Some teachers call this problem “the homework divide”.Jessica Rosenworcel,an NCE member,said,“The socalled homework divide is the cruelest part of the digital age and it is hurting the poor students and creating a big barrier(障碍) to their dreams.”
Local communities(社区) have started to help.They made lists of restaurants and other businesses with WiFi places where children are welcome to come and do their homework.And many public libraries have also planned to provide free access to the students next year.
8.What has DOE found out in its survey?
A.Students with Internet at home are doing better at school.
B.More and more students do not have access to Internet at home.
C.33% of the students in Mississippi do not have Internet at home.
D.More homes in the countryside don’t have Internet access than those in the city.
9.Why does Sharon Stidham take her sons to the East Webster High School library?
A.Her husband is a teacher in the library.
B.The school library is near a signal tower.
C.She can’t afford to pay for the Internet at home.
D.She wants her sons to study in a better environment.
10.How does Jessica Rosenworcel think of “the homework divide”?
A.Unimportant. B.Useful.
C.Harmful. D.Necessary.
11.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.Local communities are called on to take action.
B.Restaurants have volunteered to take in the children.
C.Libraries have opened their doors to the students for free.
D.Helps are coming from the public and the local communities.

How to Choose Extracurricular Activities
From sports to clubs to outside organizations,there are many activities to take part in outside the classroom. 1 Fortunately,it becomes quite easy once you figure out what you enjoy doing in general.With a little more careful thought,you can also choose an activity that interests you.
Think about your interests and know your advantages.Before you start considering specific(具体的) activities,take a step back.Think about what excites you and find your passions(热情). 2 Now that you have a better idea of what you like to do in general,decide on those that you are good at.Ask yourself what skills they show.Then find activities that require the same ones.Make sure that you will enjoy yourself by choosing an activity that lets you shine.
3 In addition to your interests and advantages,know what you would like to improve about yourself.Use activities as a way to make yourself better.Find out new challenges,without the added stress of having to earn good grades at them.You can use activities to develop general skills that you may not have.
Find out what activities are available(可用的) and look into each one. 4 If the website seems incomplete,talk with your teacher or parents.Also look for calendar details,such as startandend dates,plus event schedules,to make sure it won’t get in the way of anything else going on in your life.Once you have a list of activities that match your interests,do a little research. 5
A.Think about skills you want to develop.
B.This can make choosing one a little difficult.
C.Use your freshman year to explore your choices.
D.In this way,you will have a better idea of what to expect.
E.Also make sure that their culture is a good match for your own personality.
F.Use those to decide on activities that will keep you interested for a long time.
G.Search your school’s website for a complete list of all the activities it provides.
