Gever Tulley is a cmputer scientist frm Califrnia. In 2005, he started a summer prgram fr children called Tinkering Schl. The idea was that children can learn imprtant skills fr life by building things tgether. Gever Tulley and his team help the children t think big and create plans fr new things they want t build. Children have made wnderful things since the schl started. They have built a rllercaster, a rpe bridge , tree huses, wden mtrbikes and bats.
At Tinkering Schl, children get all kinds f materials like wd, metal, plastic, nails and rpes. They get lts f real tls t, such as knives, hammers, screwdrivers and pwer drills. Sme children have cut themselves when using a knife, r hurt their fingers when using a hammer. Tinkering Schl has been arund fr many years nw, but nbdy has ever had a serius injury in all thse years. This is because there are strict health and safety rules they must fllw. The children always learn hw t use the tls safely and they must wear the right clthing and prtectin at all times.
Gever Tulley’s ideas have wrked very well. In 2011, Gever Tulley decided t create a “real” schl, called Brightwrks, in San Francisc. The schl is very small—it nly has 20 students aged 6 t 13. Since it started, Brightwrks has been written abut a lt. Mst f thse articles have been very psitive. They have praised (表扬) the quality f the schl. They have fund the children are mre active than at many ther schls. But there have als been critical vices. Sme peple have said that children are nt learning enugh at Brightwrks. They feel that students and teachers are just “playing arund” all the time.
The students at Brightwrks seem t lve their schl. We spke t 12-year-ld Tina Cper. She has been a student at the schl since last Octber. “Since I started here, I’ve never sat in a ‘nrmal’ class with a teacher.” she tld us. “But there hasn’t been ne single mment when I fund it bring. Befre, I was bred quite ften.”
58．Which is TRUE abut safety at Tinkering Schl?
A．The schl isn’t safe fr kids at all. B．Children have never hurt themselves badly.
C．Children have never had an injury. D．N safety infrmatin has been mentined there.
59．Read the underlined sentences and infer (推断) what might Gever Tulley say t these peple?
A．Children als need t fllw strict schl rules like wearing unifrms.
B．All children will learn t build rllercasters, rpe bridges and bats here.
C．Children can plan t make things and learn much by ding things in teams.
D．Mst articles say that children are mre serius here than at many ther schls.
60．What des Tina Cper think f the life at Brightwrks?
A．It changes her ideas abut schl life. B．It makes her feel bred frm time t time.
C．It makes her lve San Francisc even mre.D．It seems as nrmal as her schl life befre.
61．Frm the passage, children can learn the fllwing things EXCEPT ______.
A．Teamwrk is imprtant in ur wrk B. We shuld be careful when using tls
C．It is imprtant in life t eat healthy fd D．It is imprtant t be friendly and help thers

When we are children, the hlidays seem t last frever. But later, we may find that time just seems t fly by. Why des time seem t pass faster as we get lder?
Accrding t the Daily Mail, ur brains degrade as we get lder. That decreases the amunt f infrmatin we can deal with in a single day. "The human mind senses time changing when the perceived（感知到的） images change，"Adrian Bejan frm Duke University, the US, tld the Daily Mail. "The present is different frm the past because the mental viewing has changed, nt because smebdy's clck rings."
Very yung babies，fr example, mve their eyes much mre ften than adults because they are prcessing（处理） images at a faster rate. They deal with a large amunt f infrmatin and d many things in a single day. This makes them feel like a single day lasts fr a lng time. Hwever, as peple get lder, fewer images are prcessed in the same amunt f time. Therefre, lder peple receive less infrmatin during a day than yunger peple. This causes things t seem as thugh they were happening mre quickly.
Apart frm the degradatin f ur brains, sme psychlgical reasns als make us experience time differently.
Peple may measure time by the number f memrable things that can be recalled（回忆）within a certain perid. When we think abut ur yuth, we may remember a life packed with first-time activities, fr example, ur first-time traveling withut ur parents, r ur first date. We experienced these events s vividly that time then seemed t have passed very slwly. Accrding t David Eagle man f Baylr Cllege f Medicine in the US, recalling these memries makes us feel like they tk frever.
Many adults find life is rutine and smetimes dull. Fr this reasn, when they lk back, they might feel like there are nt many exciting things t remember. Therefre, time seems t be mving faster t them.
62.What des the underlined wrd "degrade" mean?
A. Becme better.B. Becme wrse.C. Remain the same. D. Becme smaller.
63. Hw d peple sense time changing accrding t Adrian Bejan?
A. It depends n hw their clcks change.
B. It depends n hw the views arund them change.
C. It depends n hw ften they mve their eyes.
D. It depends n hw the images they perceived change.
64. Why des time seem t pass faster as we get lder?
A. Because ur life will becme rutine and dull when we grw lder.
B. Because the degradatin f ur brains will make it slwer t recall memries.
C. Because we'll deal with less infrmatin in the same amunt f time.
D. Because we wn't have first-time activities when we grw lder.
65. If yu were an adult, what culd yu d t seemingly slw dwn yur time flw?
A. Dream f reaching the future.B. Try smething new and interesting.
C. Wrk arund the clck as usual.D. Remember exciting things.

Humans need bees t help grw plants. When these insects visit flwers, they cllect pllen (花粉). Withut bees mving pllen frm ne flwer t anther, many plants can’t prduce fruits.
In recent years, scientists have nticed a sharp drp in bee numbers. What has happened? In shrt, the insects have lst their fd surce. As humans have taken ver mre and mre land fr cities, natural areas have disappeared. Take England fr example. It has lst abut 97 percent f its wildflwer fields since Wrld War II.
T help bees ut, Britain is building “bee bus stps” acrss the cuntry. These bus stps lk rdinary. But there’s a small garden n each f their rfs (顶部). The gardens are full f flwers. They attract (吸引) bees. Because the sil fr these gardens is heavy, gardeners have t take care f them twice a year. Other than that, nt much is needed t keep the gardens ging.
The idea f bee bus stps isn’t new. Several years ag, the Netherlands turned mre than 300 f its bus stps int bee bus stps. This prject is wrking. Bee numbers have grwn since these bus stps were put int place, accrding t research. This is certainly gd news fr the British gvernment.
