Middle school days are both fun and busy. Students spend their days in class,   1   to the interesting or sometimes boring words of their teachers. At break (休息) , they run, play and shout happily . But 2 should students spend their free time after school?
In western countries,   3   is normal for students to have a part-time  4 after school or at weekends. Students can make their  5   money and learn more about the real world. They enjoy the independence (獨(dú)立) and money, and their parents enjoy the quiet house. However, it seems that, in China, parents  6  so much about their children’s studies that they would like to see their children spending most of their time  7 for all those exams. It is natural for Chinese parents to feel that  8  , but I think everything should be kept in balance. Sometimes, western school children 9  long hours after school to make money, so they  10  too tired to listen in class or do their homework. But Chinese students spend so much time on their studies that all else becomes less important.

Have you ever wondered?
1.      Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?
It can take five hours to go west-east from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY. The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon (大氣現(xiàn)象) known as the jet stream (氣流). The jet stream is a very high altitude (=" above" sea level) wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. So the planes moving at a constant air speed go faster from the west to the east when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite.
2.      What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?
Supposing we could magically turn off gravity. Would buildings and other structures（建筑物）float away? What happened would depend on (依靠) how strongly the things were attached (吸附) to the earth. The earth is moving at quite a speed, moving at over a thousand miles per hour. If you turn something around your head on a string, it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. ‘Turning off’ gravity would be like letting go of the string. Things not attached to the earth would fly off in a straight line. People in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling (=" top" surface of a room). Most things outside would fly off into space.
小題1:What information can we get from the first passage?
A．It is the jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly.
B．Planes go slower when they are moving with the wind.
C．It takes more time to fly from NY to London than from London to NY.
D．The jet stream always blows from the east to the west across the Atlantic.
小題2:The underlined word “shoot” in the 2nd paragraph means “_________”.
A．send for B．move quicklyC．come out D．grow quickly
小題3:It can be known that without gravity _________.
A．buildings and other structures would float away
B．trees and buildings would not so easily fly off
C．something around your head would not float away
D．everything outside buildings would fly off into space
小題4:Where can we read this passage?
A．In a research paper. B．In a short story.
C．In a travel magazine.D．In a student’s book
