C The 2026 Govemment Work Report clearly says that China will support qualified(符合条件的)areas to carry out spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students,while putting into practice the wrong-time paid leave system for workers.As a hot topic,the policy has been tested in provinces such as Zhejiang,Jiangsu and Sichuan with useful experience. These short holidays bring many good points to students.They can lower study pressure after long-time learning and help students keep healthy both in body and mind.With nice and comfortable weather,students can go out of classrooms to take part in real activities,including farming experiences, nature watching and local culture learning.In this way,book knowledge is turned into real-life experience. The holidays also bring good points to families.Wrong-time leave lets parents spend happy time with their children at lower costs,away from the large crowds of busy travel seasons.Many families choose to travel,visit relatives or go to museums together,making family ties closer.At the same time, the holidays help develop local tourism and economy,making a win-win situation for education and society. However,difficulties still exist in the policy's carrying out.The main problem is that many working parents cannot look after their children during the holidays.To solve this,many schools offer childcare services with colorful activities,and local communities offer more activities for students.The holidays can also be set freely according to local situations. In short,spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students are an important educational change.They show a turn from exam-centered education to a focus on all-round development.With joint efforts from families,schools and society,these holidays will help students grow in a healthier and more meaningful way. )42.Why are the holidays good for society and education? A.They make schools have longer teaching time. B.They help develop local tourism and create a win-win situation.

A.Schools can do nothing to help working parents. B.Many working parents have difficulty looking after their kids. C.The holidays must be set in the same way across the country. D.Communities don't offer any activities for students. ()44.What does the underlined word "joint"probably mean in the text? A.made by one person B.working together C.hard to finish D.easy to get ()45.What's the structure of the passage? ① ①④ D. ②®④③ 0 In the city of Kabul,,Afghanistan(阿富汗)，therc lived a young boy named Amir.He lived in a big,beautiful house with his father,who was a wealthy and respected man in the community.Amir had a servant (named Hassan,who was the same age as him.Although they were from different social classes,they were like brothers and spent a lot of time together.

During one important kite-flying competition,Amir managed to cut the last remaining kite string, and his kite became the winner.Everyone cheered for him.Hassan,as always,ran to catch the fallen kite for Amir.He shouted,"For you,a thousand times over!"with a big smile on his face.Amir was so proud of winning the competition and couldn't wait for Hassan to come back with the kite.
