A
My roommate Lily was well organised, while I was not. Each of her things had its place, but mine were always hidden somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签于) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Lily got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Lily came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.

The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Lily answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so lost in my work that I didn't even notice Lily had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression a kind of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me and said, “Thanks.”

School field trips have been part of the educational experience for children across the US for decades. While many schools believe there's value in letting students develop socially with outofclassroom experiences, measuring the influence and the value of field trips is difficult. And showing the value of outofclass time can be challenging for teachers tasked with providing a good education.

As such, many art venues, science museums and zoos have reported drops in field trip attendance. Teachers and students have also reported falling numbers of school supported trips, particularly for minority students in academically lowperforming schools.
But thanks to new research from Brigham Young University and the Heritage Foundation, the value of field trips is finally being understood. The study used an experimental design and randomly arranged fourth and fifthgrade students from fifteen elementary schools in Atlanta to join in three field trips during a school year. The field trips included a trip to a gallery, a live theater performance and a symphony concert.

Students who attended three different field trips in the fourth or fifth grade scored higher on endofgrade exams, received higher course grades, were absent less often and had fewer behavioral problems. Besides academic (学业的) improvements, students who took part in field trips were more likely to express a desire to have careerrelated fields in the future. In parents' opinion, they are very interested in the academic quality of their children's schools, but they're also interested in the social skills and social engagement habits they develop. Field trips are easy ways to help improve both.

“We expected that field trips wouldn't harm test scores. However, we never predicted the allaround improvements for students who joined in these field trips,” said Erickson, a researcher in the study. “One potential reason for this is that field trips widen students' world concepts and introduce them to new ideas. Similarly, students might be more engaged in school thanks to field trips. Students find school more exciting and want to try harder in class.”

5.Why do the number of school field trips drop?
A.Teachers give students too many tasks.
B.Schools have great problems with money.
C.The value of field trips is hard to be measured.
D.Students have difficulty in academic learning.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“measuring the influence and the value of field trips is difficult”可知,实地考察的价值很难被衡量,所以学校实地考察的次数下降了。故选C。

6.What is the theme of the field trips in the study?
A.Art. B.Nature.
C.Sports. D.Technology.

7.What can we infer about students who joined in the study?
A.They have more interests. B.They become more adventurous.
C.They have more selfcontrol. D.They become more curious.
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Students who attended ... fewer behavioral problems.(在四年级或五年级参加过三次不同实地考察的学生在期末考试中得分更高、课程成绩更优、缺课次数更少、行为问题也更少。)”可推知,他们的自控能力更好。故选C。

8.What is Erickson's attitude towards the result of the study?
A.Doubtful. B.Negative.
C.Disappointed. D.Surprised.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We expected that ... in these field trips(我们原以为实地考察不会影响考试成绩。然而,我们从未预料到参加这些实地考察的学生会获得全面提升)”可知,研究结果出乎Erickson(埃里克森)的预料,他应是对此感到惊讶。故选D。

How to Motivate (激励) a Lazy Teenager
Here's how to give the teenagers the motivation they need without nagging (唠叨) them.
