Children need time to stand and stare(凝视). They should be allowed to get bored so that they can develop their ability to be creative(有创造力的).Children are expected by their parents to be reading a textbook all the time. However, research shows that it may hamper the ability to imagine, because boredom can give them opportunities to develop creativity.Boredom often comes with loneliness, but a writer named Meera Syal said boredom had helped her in developing her mind. She told researchers about her childhood. Having few things to do, Syal often talked with her neighbours. She also tried to do things like learning to bake cakes. But importantly, I thought and wrote a lot, because I was bored, Syal said. She kept a diary, filling her time with short stories and poems she made up.Grayson Perry, an artist, grew up in a family with little money. During his childhood, he enjoyed himself by making up stories, drawing pictures for his stories and reading many books in the library. Bored but free, he spent hours looking out of the window, watching the changing clouds and seasons. Perry filled up his free time with what he liked. He became creative, because he could think freely.Dr. Belton is doing researches on boredom. Boredom could be an uncomfortable feeling, she said. But some young people cannot do with that boredom creatively. So sometimes they may break a classroom window, or drive a car out very fast. Usually, when children have nothing to do, they would turn on the TV, the computer, or the phone. Their time on these things has increased, yet they need to have time to think about their experiences through playing or just watching the world around them. It is this kind of thinking that can inspire(激发) the imagination. On the other hand, the TV or phone may cut short the thinking process. That can be bad to the development of creativity. For developing the ability to be creative, Dr. Belton advised, perhaps we need to stand stare, and stay off-line from time to time.（1）The underlined word hamper in Paragraph 2 is the closest to . A . increaseB . startC . stopD . discover（2）When Meera Syal felt bored, she did the following things EXCEPT . A . talking with her neighboursB . learning to bake cakesC . watching TVD . writing short stories and poems（3）Dr. Belton may think is the better way to do with boredom . A . reading a textbookB . thinking without doing anything elseC . driving a carD . breaking a classroom widow（4）What can we learn from the passage? A . Boredom helps children solve difficulties.B . Its boring for children to think about their experiences.C . Its much better for children to be busy than to be bored.D . Children need time to get bored instead of doing schoolwork.5. （4分）阅读理解 Possible Earth-Like Planet Next Door?Scientists say they discovered an earth-like planet outside our solar system (太阳系). It is a planet that could support life.This planet is just 4.2 light years away from us. It is so close that space scientists have considered it as a next door neighbor. They say it could be reached by an unmanned spaceship before the end of the century - in time for people alive today to see it.An international team of scientists found the planet moving around the star called Proxima Centauri. The result came out last month from the scientific magazine Nature.Scientists have long thought that a planet with water is important for life. And it has to be neither too hot nor too cold. The newly-discovered planet is a little larger than earth Scientists have named it Proxima B. It moves around its sun, Proxima Centauri, once every 11 days.American scientists have been using instruments for years to look for earth-like planets. In 2013, scientists best guess was that there are about one billion (1,000 million) earths in space.Alan Boss is the chairman of a group for outer space research. He said that Proxima B not only confirms (确认) the discovery of a planet, but also increases the number of other possible“earths” greatly.Boss said it is possible, even likely, that most stars have at least one earth-like planet, which he considers surprising.So from the early number of a billion, this new research suggests there may be as many possible earth-like planets as there are stars in the Galaxy (银河系). That is, anywhere from 250 billion to 500 billion earths.This makes the possibility of living things increasingly likely Boss said he believes human beings will be able to show that there is life in places besides earth in his lifetime. I am 65, he said, but I expect to still be alive when it happens.（1）When will it be possible for an unmanned spaceship to reach Proxima B? A . In about eighty years.B . In about 4.2 years.C . In about eleven days.D . In about one billion years.（2）In the fourth paragraph, the writer thinks that _ is necessary for life. A . waterB . lightC . airD . wind（3）What does the underlined word This stand for in the last paragraph? A . Scientists have discovered an earth-like planet last month.B . There are far more earth-like planets than people thought.C . Proxima B is not far from earth and is just like our neighbor.D . The Galaxy will be the only place for living things to live in.（4）What does Alan Boss mean by saying but I expect to still be alive when it happens? A . His health is in good state and hes sure he will live a long life.B . Science is developing much faster than ever in recent years.C . Scientists may soon find fact that theres life on other planets.D . America is far ahead of other countries in space research.6. （3分）阅读理解 Hello, everyone! Im Mike. I live in Beijing with my parents.
