Their school days are busy enough. After school, though, Cathy takes the two boys from football to basketball. Then she has to take her daughter to piano lessons. The tired children dont get home until 7 pm. They have a quick supper, and its time for homework.The Taylors are like many American and British parents. They take their children from activity to activity, and try to fit as much as possible into their kids lives. Doctors say many children are under too much pressure. Teachers complain(抱怨) about teaching tired kids in the classroom.Most children take part in after-school clubs. Activities include sports, language learning, music and math classes. Pushy parents are nothing new, but now parents seem to push their children a lot more. Parents see other children doing a lot of things, and they feel their own children should do the same.Linda Miller, a mother of three in London, knows all about such pressure. “In some families, competition starts from a very young age,” she says. “Mothers send their kids to all kinds of classes when they are very young. And they are always comparing them with other children. Its crazy. People shouldnt push their kids so hard.Dr Alice Green agrees. She also says that these children may find it hard to think for themselves when they are older. “Parents are trying to plan their kids lives for them. When these kids are adults, they might find it difficult to plan things for themselves.” Parents should learn to give their kids a bit more time to themselves. On one hand, children need organized activities. On the other hand, they also need time and freedom to relax, and they need time to do things by themselves.（1）Cathy Taylor sends her daughter to .A . math classesB . language schoolC . sport clubD . piano lessons（2）Why do teachers complain about teaching those children in the classroom?A . Because they are very tired.B . Because they know a lot of things.C . Because they are under too much pressure.D . Because they cant plan things for themselves.（3）From the passage, we know children take part in after-school activities because .A . they have interest in themB . their teachers tell them to do soC . their parents push them to do soD . they see other children doing these things（4）The writer probably thinks that parents should .A . compare their children with othersB . plan their childrens lives for themC . take their children to different classesD . give children time and let them do things by themselves11. （11分）阅读下面材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。Daniel Olin was 11 years old when his parents moved to Canada.

With his father working long hours, Daniel felt very lonely and very unhappy. He wanted to escape, to run away. And thats what he did.Very early one terribly cold morning when the snow was deep on the ground, he packed a bag with some clothes, some chocolate and a map of Canada and set off to a forest.

But Australian researchers have found a way to make something like this possible!A team at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, found a way to put special nanostructures (纳米结构) into clothing, which can then clean the clothes. When sunlight hits the nanostructures, they break down the dirt and stains (污渍) that dont belong on your clothes.The nanostructures dont break down the actual clothing because cotton and the other clothing materials are too strong to be broken down. According to CNN, the researchers cover the clothing in a solution made of silver and copper (铜) nanostructures. All it takes is 40 minutes of sunlight and your clothes will look as good as new.So if you spill on yourself during lunch, you can step outside for a walk, and it will be clean by the time you go inside. It not only makes your life easier, but it can also be good for the environment.According to the US Department of Energy, the average load of laundry uses about 25 gallons (about 94 liters) of water. Water is a very important resource, so using less of it to wash clothes is better for the environment. But one of the scientists at RMIT University knows more needs to be done.“Theres more work to do before we can start throwing out our washing machines,” said Dr Rajesh Ramanathan, “but this is a strong foundation (基础).”So whats the next step? Ramanathan wants to either start selling the solution by itself or convincing (说服) clothing makers to treat the clothing with the solution while clothes are being made.（1）How do the clothing with the nanostructures get cleaned? A . Cotton clothes wash easilyB . This kind of clothing washes it by itself.C . The dirt and stains are broken down in the sunlight.D . Silver and copper help to get off the dirt in the dark.（2）What do Paragraphs 4-5 talk about? A . What advantages the self-cleaning clothes have.B . How the self-cleaning clothes work.C . How the self-cleaning clothes are made.D . What helps the self-cleaning clothes work.（3）What does the underlined word “solution”in the last paragraph mean? A . MachinesB . Clothes.C . Silver.D . Design.（4）What can we learn from the passage? A . Silver and copper sell well.B . The solution is not put into practice.C . Clothing makes certainly like the solution.D . We dont need washing machines any more.13. （10分）Do you believe in love at the first sight? Many people answer No, we dont, but I say I do.why?
