ordered.”及下文中的信 息“For example..or they might stick to an old-fashioned pen and a paper planner..”可 推断，此处仍需要与“帮助孩子变得有条理” 相关联，E项中的“an organized system”与 该段第一句中的“Organization”对应，故E 项符合语境。] 38.D[空后的“Teach

However,since April in 2017,the small island of just 2,700 residents (has gained worldwide fame thanks to the magical return of a beach that was washed away over three decades ago. The chain of events began in 1984 when residents of Dooagh,one of the settlements on the island,awoke to a surprising sight:their beautiful sandy beach had been washed away by strong Atlantic storms.There were only rocks and rock pools left.For about 34 years,only small amounts of sand returned to the once unspoiled shores.The area's tourism industry slowly declined,and the handful of beachside hotels,pubs,and restaurants gradually closed as well.

Scientists suspect that the sand had been gathering offshore for months and was transported to the beach by the high winds and powerful waves. The locals are delighted to have their beach back,especially as it is attracting thousands of visitors wishing to witness the power of nature,with their own eyes. However,Sean Molloy,manager at Achill Tourism,cautions against going into the cold waters just yet,saying,"Because of the sand coming in,we don't know how safe the beach is now because currents (could be changed and it'll take a little bit of time.He instead recommends visitors enjoy the soft sand and leave the swimming to the dolphins that frequent the area. Interestingly,this is not the first time Dooagh Beach has pulled a disappearing and reappearing act.It disappeared in the 1890s,for over 30 years,before returning in 1927.

As a parent,you want your kids to do their best in school.You already know plenty of sleep,healthy food and some school supplies are necessary.36 Here are some tips from educators and professionals for helping your children with it -both at home and on school campus. Keep it ordered. Organization is the key to success,because it can maximize efficiency.37 For example,they could use a scheduling application like Asana or Trello to manage projects with arranged dates,or they might stick to an old-fashioned pen and a paper planner.See what works best for them and go from there. Break projects down. 38 Teach them to break larger projects down into smaller pieces.Often people get frightened by the difficulty of tasks without understanding that the large task is actually just made up of smaller ones.Another solution is to use a project proposal to help keep them organized and on track with homework and projects. 39 One mistake students usually make is postponing unpleasant work and deliberately looking for distraction(使人分心的事).Teach your children that the workload isn't going to get smaller if they wait longer,and,as a result,it will only become larger and seem more difficult to get started. Get help online. There are a growing number of online references and homework resources.Not only will your children be better prepared for class the next day,but they'll also learn a valuable lesson about how to research and find information online.40 A.Focus on homework. B.Avoid delaying tasks. C.Online applications are becoming more and more popular. D.Many children get stressed out when they have big assignments due. E.Have your kids keep ahead of their homework with an organized system. F.From them you can also find ideas for educational activities you can do with your children.

Kate and I wondered what kinds of treats she'd offer.As we walked down the street,I held an umbrella,a bag for candy,and my sister's hand.Jack-o,-Lanterns (gave soft light along the street.Spider webs hung in all the windows.Parents who were dressed up like monsters (stood in doorways.After we had walked a few blocks,we were wet from head to toes,and I felt Kate was trembling with cold. There was a light on at Miss Parson's house,but there were no ghosts,goblins )or Jack-o-Lanterns.We climbed up the steps and saw Miss Parson through a window. She was drinking a cup of hot tea. "Maybe she doesn't celebrate Halloween,"Kate said with a sigh,disappointedly. "Well,even if she doesn't,she usually likes it when we visit her,"I said and knocked on the door. Miss Parson seemed surprised when she opened it and saw our dressing."Is today Halloween?”she asked.“I completely forgot..I am so sorry!” Paragraph 1: Miss Parson rushed us into her house. Paragraph 2: The next morning,a hot and sweet discussion about Miss Parson and Halloween spread among us kids. 16
