Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far-fetched (牵强的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2020, have seen similar results. In May 2020, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europes first test one, with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachers it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.24.According to the first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that _.A. they have to exchange desks with each otherB. they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seatsC. there are no seats for them to sit in classD. the officials show no sympathy to them at all25.According to the teachers, older students may not like stand-up desks because _.A. they are cleverer than younger studentsB. they are easily tired of standing longC. they have formed the habit of sittingD. they do badly in class while standing26.What is most likely to be the result of the seven-week trial?A. The standing desks cant be used at all.B. It is good for students to use stand-up desks.C. More tests should be done in other schools.D. The students are different in personality.27.Why do the teachers like the standing desks?A. Because the educators can draw the students attention.B. Because the teachers can keep the students healthy.C. Because the students can have a walk in the classroom.D. Because the standing desks can keep the students concentrated.CWelcome to the Miami PlanetariumSchool Groups: $10.00 per personOne free teacher admission per 10 students.Group rates apply to groups 15 or more.Click HERE to make a reservation online today!The Miami Planetarium (天文馆|) opened its doors to the public on November 4, 1966 and has entertained and educated children of all ages about astronomy and the wonders of the night sky ever since.

The way you sit in the car when you drive is a habit. Have you ever tried to change the way you do something, after youve done it in a certain way for so long? Its easy to do as long as you think about it. The minute your mind drifts to something else, you go right back to the old way of doing things. 37.Its a way of doing things that has become routine or commonplace. To change an existing habit or form a new one can be a tedious(单调乏味的) task.Lets pick something fairly easy to start with, like spending 15 minutes in the morning readingtheBible. If you want to turn something into a habit that you do every day, you have to WANT to do it. 38.Make a firm decision to do this on a daily basis.Imprint(铭刻) it in your mind. Write several notes to yourself and put them in places where you will see them. By the alarm clock, on the bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator door, in your briefcase, and under your car keys are good places to start.After the newness wears off, then you will have to remind yourself, “Hey, I forgot to. . . ”. Keep using the notes if you have to. 39.Some people say it will take over a month to solidify(变得稳固) it and make it something you will do without having to think about it. I tend to agree with the last statement. Two to three weeks will help you to remember, but thirty days or more will make it a part of your everyday routine. 40.A. What is a “habit” anyway?B. Is doing things in an old way good?C. Brushing your teeth is a habit.D. Forming a bad habit is easy.E. It takes 16 to 21 times of repeating a task to make it a habit.F. If you dont, you will find a way to do everything but that.G. Thats something you wont necessarily have to think about before you do it habit.第3部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上涂黑。How often do you let other peoples nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter, rude boss, or an insensitive employee _41_ your day?One day I was in a taxi and we headed _42_ the airport. We were driving in the _43_ lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his _44_, slid sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and _45_ the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car looked around and started _46_ at us.My taxi driver just _47_ and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really _48_. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of _49_, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As
