The Statue of Liberty, which has been closed to the public since super storm Sandy struck in October, will reopen by July 4.
The Statue of Liberty was presented to the United States by the French people in 1886. It stands at Liberty Island as a welcome to all returning Americans.
It’s five months since the monument and Liberty Island were shut down after the storm.
While the statue itself was not seriously harmed by the storm, several buildings on the island experienced the terrible flood. The way used by ships carrying visitors from lower Manhattan and New Jersey was also destroyed.
It’s good news, it’s a little late, but at least it’s there, and now we’ll watch like an eagle to make sure this promise is kept,” Schumer told NBC New York.
In January, the government spent $59 million repairing both Liberty Island and nearby Ellis Island, which was also damaged in the storm. But the officers have not announced when Ellis Island will reopen. In November, more than a million art works had to be removed from the museum there because of the storm. The Statue of Liberty is one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions. According to the National Park Service, more than 3.7 million people visit the site every year.

I’ve been working in a school for more than twenty years. Many parents often ask me, “How can you teach your child good study skills? How can he or she get the homework done as quickly as possible?” Here are some tips:  
1. If the child is as young as nine or ten, ask him or her to prepare a small notebook to write down the homework given by his or her teachers. By developing this habit, he or she will learn to be much more responsible (負(fù)責(zé)的).
2. Find a good place to study. This should be a quiet place that is free from everything but study things. No games, radios, or televisions. Once you have decided on a place to study, this should be the only place where your child does his or her homework and studies. There should also be a very specific time for homework to be done. Usually, homework should be done as soon as the child gets home from school. This also goes for the kids who take part in after-school activities. Of course, it is a good idea to allow the child to have a healthy snack before the work begins.
3. Also remember that it is the child’s duty to do his or her homework. Some children give up easily and go to Mom and Dad for help when they have a problem. Try to let them solve it first. By doing this, they will get a sense of success from overcoming problems. In this way we help them to help themselves.
小題1:Asking the kids to keep a notebook to remember their homework will make them ______.
A.remember moreB.learn more
C.more responsible D.more interested in studying
小題2:The place where the children study must ________.
A.be free for everything
B.have a TV set and a computer
C.be quiet, bright and free from things for entertainment
D.be big, clean and tidy
小題3:What does the underlined word “overcoming” mean in the passage?
A.Forgetting.B.Leaving.C.Realizing.D.Beating.
小題4:According to the passage, the children should _____ when they have trouble with their homework.
A.a(chǎn)sk their parents for helpB.try to solve the problems by themselves
C.wait for their teachers’ helpD.put it away and have a snack
小題5:This passage is written _________.
A.for parents to help their children study well
B.for the children who want to improve their work
C.for teachers to teach their students
D.for housewives to make their kids happy
