People find that children as young as 18 months can help with chores. When parent say to those children, “Just look at the paper,” they will pick it up. Another example, a five-year-old kid, probably shouldn’t wash the dishes and take out the rubbish. However, children of this age should try to keep the home tidy. In fact, young children like doing chores because they are doing what their mom or dad does, and that helps them feel more grown-up.

However, some parents think childhood is just for playing, so they don’t ask their children to do chores. Other parents say, “I know it’s wrong, but it’s quicker to do them by myself!” But most parents believe that doing chores is a way of teaching kids responsibility(责任). They think doing chores is also a teaching tool for preparing a child to someday care for himself. Children also learn to help, share and care about others by doing chores. Things like taking care of a pet or a baby and helping make meals are some examples of helping others.

Soon computer and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.

The eye-recognition （眼睛识别）program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and France. Soon, this technology will change all other ways of finding out who people are.

However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hands or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your fingers.

Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you gets older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programs may only be right 51% of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition. In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!

39．How does the eye-recognition program work?

A．You type a number. B．You look at the machine.

C．The machine listens to your voice. D．The machine look at the shape of your face.

40．We already have machines that can tell who you are from ________

A．your eyes B．your face or your voice

C．the mark made by your finger D．your smell

六、多任务混合阅读

Most plant will die if they don’t have enough water. But one plant, called the resurrection（复活）plant, seems to come back to life after it dies. This plant can still be there after a long time of terrible drought（久旱）because it travels to look for water. Many people say that one difference between plants and animals is that animals move from place to place to find food and water, while plants cannot. But in the desert areas of American West, the resurrection plant can move around to get what it needs, too.

When there is lots of rain, the resurrection plant grows like any other plant. It sends roots（根）down into the ground and has green leaves（叶子）. But when there is little water, the resurrection plant pulls（拉）its roots back up and dries up. It turns into a brown ball of seemingly dead roots and leaves. This brown ball goes through the desert with the help of the wind.

As soon as it touches water, the resurrection plant begins to act like a normal plant again. Its leaves turn green once more as it starts to grow. It is resurrected or brought back to life again in a new place. Because this plant can live a long time with no water, it has become a popular house plant. For anyone who always forgets to water his or her plants, the resurrection plant can be a fantastic gift.

根据短文内容，完成下列任务。

Dear headmaster,

These days we are talking about how to have a better school life. Here are some of my suggestions.

First, I hope our school will open the library more often. Second, I think our school can organize more after-class activities. Next I hope our school will give us more time for sports, art and music. And I suggest our school organize fewer exams as well.

As for our teachers, I hope they will be our friends and make classes more interesting. And if they can talk less and speak more clearly in class, we will be more interested in studying and have more time to practice. What’s more, I hope they will give us less homework and finish classes on time.

Hope my suggestions will be helpful.

Yours sincerely,
