Part 3 Reading and Writing（第三部分阅读和写作）
六、Reading Comprehension.
A.
Every school has rules for students to follow. But what happens when students break the rules?
In the UK, when students don’t behave well at school, they will be given a warning. But if they go on behaving badly, like talking over the teacher, they’ll be punished. And there are a lot of ways for students to
be punished!
Generally speaking, the punishments in UK schools are: detention(课后留校)，isolation（隔离）education unit(IEU), supervision(监管), suspension(停学) and expulsion(开除).
If you receive a detention, you’ll find yourself sitting in a room with your teacher during break, lunch or even worse, after school. The longest time for a detention is two hours. Depending on how naughty you’ve been, you can get two detentions in one day!
If you get IEU, you’re isolated from other students. And you have to stay in room all day to complete your lessons.
Supervision means that you cannot take part in P.E. lessons. In other classes, a teacher will always keep an eye on you while you sit at the front of the class. Trust me, you will never like the feeling. Suspension means you cannot go to school for a certain amount of time. The most serious punishment you can ever receive is expulsion. You can’t go to the school any more. You’ll have to find another school to go to , and it will be on your school record.
Punishments are a good way to discipline students. If you don’t want to get punished, behave well!

“Look at this tree. What can you see？”I looked carefully. Under the branch there were some letters and a picture of a heart. The heart was still there but the letters were unclear.“You might not be able to recognize the words. Let me read them for you.”She said softly，“It __77__ Robin Holmes loves Mary Smith.

Like Nan, most students in China have a special and sometimes hard military training. This usually takes place when the new school ye ar begins or they enter high school and unibersity.

Some students c___84___ that it is not useful in life. But others feel it encourages them to be more independent.
In fact, China is not the only country that has military training. Students from othe r countries also have it. Do you want to know what they do? Let’s find out:
South Korea

The government of some states also organize activities for children to e___86___ military life. These activities emphasize(强调) teamwork, spirit and encourage students to solve difficulties themselves.
Russia
In Russia, male students between 15 and 16 need to complete a 5-day army training in barracks(军营).

Just for fun
You’re going to have military training next year. Here are some tips about how to survive military training.
1.If you need to stay in schools or other places during the training, you’d better take some clothes
even if you are only allowed to wear the uniform. It’s hot and you keep sweating. You can
wash the uniform and change into your own clothes at night.
2.Don’t eat too much. Otherwise, you may feel uncomfortable when you run or do other exercises.
3.Massage your arms and legs before you sleep. This makes your body feel good in the morning.
4.Remember to take sun cream. You don’t want to get sunburnt, do you?
5.Don’t forget to take some daily medicine. During training, it’s not easy to buy medicine when
you feel uncomfortable.

D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）: ( 12分)
Cool house gadgets make life easy
You may often hear your mom say: “Did I turn the gas off?” Or your father say:”I lost my key!” But in a smart home, where you can control everything through software on your cell phone or computer, your parents would not worry any more.
Smart refrigerator
The Samsung Company has made a smart refrigerator that can do much more than an ordinary one. It is called the Samsung Family Hub refrigerator. It connects to your Wi-Fi and there is a touchscreen on the front of the refrigerator, which will let you manage your shopping lists. Inside are three built-in cameras, which can be viewed from anywhere with an app on a smartphone. With another special app, you can directly order what you need from your local supermarkets. The app will also learn a family’s shopping habits, making suggestions on what to buy.
Smart frying pan
Cooking is not easy. But what they need might only be a Pantelligent smart frying pan. Pantelligent is an intelligent cooking tool that controls cooking temperature and time. The smart frying pan has a temperature sensor(感应器) inside, which talks to an app on your cell phone. The app monitors the temperature. So you know when to flip, when to stir(煸炒) or add ingredients. It also tells you when to adjust（调整）the heat on your stove, and when you’re done. The app uses the data f rom the pan to adjust cooking in real time. Or if you’re too lazy, you can turn on the “autopilot(自动操作)” of the smart pan. Then the app will control the heat by itself. Your hands are free. Cooking will become so easy.
Smart garden bulb
The Playbulb garden bulb is for house and garden decoration. It’s so smart that is turns on and off by itself and you don’t even have to charge it. Different from normal bulbs, you don’t need a switch to control the Playbulb garden bulb. All you need is an app on your smartphone. The top of the bulb has a solar panel(太阳能板) to charge the battery during the day, which allows it to glow for up to 20 hours. It can glow in one color or in different colors, depending on how you pre-set (预设) it. The bulb is water resistant(防水的) so you can leave it glowing outside without worrying about rain.
