Local governments should keep an eye on the parents who educate their children at home to make sure that a suitable education is being provided.You can provide evidence(证据)that your child is receiving a suitable education by writing a report and providing some of your child's work.You can also invite a local government officer to your home or meet him outside the home,with or without your child being present-officers have no right to get to your home without permission.

“Most children carry their phone in their back pocket,and when someone reaches for it,in my mind they're reaching for a gun,”said Della Fave,a spokesman(发言人)for New Jersey police. Della Fave shared a photo of the iPhone case(外壳)that he found on a social website(网页).In the photo,a model stands with her phone in her back pocket,and the case looks like a gun.
Della Fave said,“If a child draws the phone with the gun-like case before policemen,the first thing they're going to see as it's coming up is a gun.This doesn't seem like a good idea at all to apoliceman.”
The phone case is sold online by various sellers at prices from about $5 to $49 and comes in several different colors.“The case is popular.That's why we sell it.If you have the case,you can play games of shooting at parties,"said the Trend Shop.“Don't worry.You can't actually shoot anyone!”
A policeman gave a few words of advice,“I would NOT suggest buying this kind of phone case,which was designed to look like a gun."It is not clear who makes the case.“If it's on the web,then it's out there somewhere;that's the bottom line,"said Della Fave.
40.What could Della Fave probably be?
A.A model.
B.A shop owner.
C.A police officer.
D.A designer.
41.What do policemen say about the gun-like phone case?

C
A zoo is a place where animals are kept and displayed(展示)to the public.Some people argue that a zoo need not be a place for animal display alone,and may also include raising animal species(物种)which are becoming less and less.
Animal rights groups are divided on the matter of keeping animals in zoos-with some in favor of this practice,and others calling for a ban(禁令).The most important reason that those in favor of this practice put forward is that it offers protection for animals.For those species which are fighting for their life,zoos are the best places where they get plenty of food,water and medical care when needed.
Those who are against the practice argue that the idea of“displaying animals to the public”is itself a strong enough reason for banning.They further add that the practice of using animals for our own selfish gains cannot be a good reason under the excuse of protection.The treatment of animals in these zoos is yet another big worry,with quite a few reports about ill-treatment(虐侍)of animals once in awhile.
It's very difficult to come up with a clear idea on whether it is right to keep animals in zoos or not. It is true that the animals are protected in these places as they don't get into conflict with humans.But, at the same time,one has to admit that keeping them in zoos equals a disrespect for nature.These animals are born to live in the wild,and we should accept this fact.
43.Some animal rights groups are in favor of the zoo because it can______.
A.attract visitors
B.make money
C.train animals
D.protect animals
44.Those who are against the zoo think that people should______.
A.let animals live in the wild
B.sell animals in zoos
C.use animals for fun
D.raise animals at home
45.Which is the closest in meaning to conflict (Para.4)?
A.Fight.B.Connection.C.Argument.D.Company
.46.What would be the most suitable title for the text?
A.Zoos-Best Places for Wild Animals
B.Is It Right to Keep Animals in Zoos?
C.Zoos-Places for Fun to the Public
D.How Should Animals Be Treated in Zoos?
D
Did your child's brain become smaller last summer?Probably not,according to a study by Dr.Harris Cooper,professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia.The study found that when students return to school after a long summer vacation,they've lost one to three months worth of learning.
This is more harmful for math than it is for reading.“All students lose math skills,”says Cooper. It may be because kids(小孩)have more chances to practice reading than math. Middle-class children actually learn more in reading than lower-income students over the summer. Cooper feels that this results from the variety of activities that many middle-class kids take part in over the summer,such as camping(野营)and trips.
“Parents can help their kids keep educational skills,"says Cooper.He suggests the following tips to have a learning-filled summer.
1.Keep lots of books around and make regular trips to the library.Most libraries offer special summer events for kids.
2.Think about what your kids may be learning next year when you plan the family vacation.Talk with teachers to find out what they’ll be covering in class.
3.Keep math in mind.Since kids lose more math skills than anything else over the summer,try to do some special planning to find math-related activities.
4.Consider summer school.Struggling kids can get a lot of different kinds of help from summer school programs.Summer school can also enrich and quicken learning in areas where kids show a special interest.
Remember to keep it fun!You don't want to make your kids unhappy with learning during the summer break.
47.What did Dr.Harris Cooper find in his study?
A.Kids love reading more after the summer.
B.Kids show a special interest in math after the summer.
C.Kids'math skills become weaker after the summer.
D.Kids have a lot of fun in the summer.
48.Some kids gain in reading over the summer probably because they______.
A.join in a variety of activities
B.go to the library every day
C.spend their vacation in a school
D.receive a special training in reading
49.Parents can find out what their kids will study next year by______.
A.doing math-related activities
B.having a learning-filled summer
C.reading the textbooks
D.talking with the teachers
50.What are parents advised to do for their kids in the summer vacation?
A.Let their kids work in the library.
B.Keep their kids studying at home.
C.Help teachers prepare for new lessons.
