For students at the Farm School in Hamilton, Virginia, the classroom is outside every day. Jaclyn Jenkins is the founder of the school. “The No.1 question we get immediately from parents is ‘What happens if it rains?’ And we say, ‘Bring an extra set of clothes!’ ” Jenkins adds, “We still educate them. Their brains are working when they’re moving. So unlike other schools, our goal is to always be outside.” The Farm School is a preschool, a place for 3- to 4-year-olds to learn and play. Alison Huff has taught at other schools. She says the Farm School gives its students more of hands-on learning experiences. For example, children use pumpkins to learn about colors and counting. They learn about measurement by planting seeds 30 centimeters apart. Huff adds, “We can use everything a regular preschool uses, but out in the garden.” In addition to planting vegetables and fruits, children help prepare food and clean up afterwards. The school teaches the children to cook using the food they have grown. “They can see the benefits of what they have in the garden and taste it then instead of going to the grocery store and buying it,” says Huff. The preschoolers also learn words in languages other than English. Huff speaks in both English and Spanish. Her assistant speaks French and Arabic. A 3-year-old in her class speaks four different languages. Farm animals are also an important part of the education program. Jenkins says the children learn about a different animal every month. Two months ago, she says, that animal was a cow. “We do actually have a cow that we bring to the school. They get to see what the cow is like, and learn what cows eat. They use little gloves and pretend to actually milk a cow. They make butter and yogurt.” The children spent another month with a large bird — a turkey. The idea for a school like this started after Jenkins and her husband bought a farm in Hamilton, with a late 18th-century house. They called it “One Day Farm” because years earlier they had hoped that “one day” they would have a farm. “That’s when it started, the spark of a farm school,” said Jenkins. 【1】What is the biggest difference between the Farm School and others?

How do you get a man to do his share of the housework? If you are like most women, you’ve faced this question the hard way. A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually won’t make the effort to clean or organize it. This doesn’t mean that a woman has to do all the housework; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partner’s participation. A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility for housework. Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as women’s work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, and it’s important that you give your man appreciation for those things, too. Most men will take on a little housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored. Here’s the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or because they simply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do a household task just for the good of the house. 【1】According to the passage, a man __________. A.is willing to do housework B.likes to be told to do housework C.is taught to be responsible for housework from childhood D.likes a clean house but doesn’t make efforts to clean it 【2】In order to get men to do some housework, women should often __________. A.order them to do their share B.ask them to do some housework politely C.blame men’s laziness D.monitor men’s work 【3】According to the passage, which of the following would a husband most probably like to do? A.Cleaning the table. B.Doing some washing. C.Painting the fence. D.Asking his wife to work on the yard. 【4】According to the passage, the underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that men won’t __________. A.work without any payment B.do unimportant household tasks C.do housework without women’s praise D.please their wives |

A new study has found that social media could be affecting the sleep of young adults. The study is a project of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine. They found that young people who often use social media are more likely to suffer from sleep disorders than those who use social media less. The researchers say doctors should ask young adults about their use of social media when treating sleep issues. “This is one of the first pieces of evidence that social media use really can influence your sleep.” said Jessica C Levenson. She was the lead author of a report on the study. The researchers set out to examine the connection between social media use and sleep among young adults. Levenson noted that these young adults are possibly the first “generation to grow up with social media.” The researchers wanted to find out how often young people used social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Credit and Tumbler. For the study, they gave questionnaires to nearly 1,800 adults, aged 19 to 32. On average, members of the study group used social media sites one hour a day. They also "visited various social media 30 times per week.” Thirty percent of the study's participants reported having serious problems with sleeping. Those people who used social media a lot were three times more likely to have a sleep disorder. And those who spent the most time on social media were two times as likely to suffer from sleep disturbances. Levenson said the number of times a person visits social media is a better predictor of sleep problems than overall time spent on social media. If this is true, she adds, then practices that stop such behaviors may be the most effective. 【1】What's the main idea of the text? A. The researchers focus on social media. B. The researchers manage to handle sleep problems. C. Doctors treat young patients. D. Social media affects sleep. 【2】When treating sleep problems, doctors are advised to ________. A. offer some advice about giving up social media B. ask the patients about young adults’ use of social media C. give young adults some medicine D. ask about the patients' living conditions 【3】How did the researchers mainly carry out the study? A. By doing online research. B. By giving an example. C. By collecting published data. D. By doing questionnaires. 【4】What can be inferred from the text? A. Men are more likely to suffer from a sleep disorder than women. B. People often using social media are less likely to have a sleep disorder. C. Using computers less helps avoid sleep problems completely. D. Sleep problems can be determined by the times of a person visiting social media. |
