Nor are they rich enough for camp.They are school children without school. The calendar called the school yearran out on them a few weeks ago. Once looked after by teachers andheadmasters, they now appear to be in “self care.” For much of our history, however, Americans framed the school year aroundthe needs of work and family. In 19th-century cities, schools were open sevenor eight hours a day, 11 months a year. In rural America, the year was arrangedaround the growing seasons. Now, only 3 percent of families follow theagricultural model, but nearly all schools are scheduled as if our children wenthome early to milk cows and took months off to work the crops. Now, three-quarters of the mothers of school-age children work, but the calendar is writtenas if they were home waiting for the school bus. The six-hour day, the 180-day school year is regarded as somehow sacred. Butwhen parents work an eight-hour day and a 240-day year, it means somethingdifferent. It means that many kids go home to empty houses. It means that, inthe summer, they hang out. “We have a huge mismatch between the school calendar and the realities offamily life,” says educator Dr. Ernest Boyer. Dr. Boyer is one of many who believe that a radical revision of the schoolcalendar is necessary. “School, whether we like it or not, is custodial andeducational. It always has been.”11. In speaking of “once-and-future students”, the author is referring to ____.A. kids too young to take a jobB. school children old enough to take care of themselvesC. kids who cannot afford to go campingD. school children on summer vacation答案:D解析:第一段隐含此意。12.

Youcouldn’t come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried. You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep.Dr. Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. Onegroup got their normal eight hours of sleep. The other group didn’t get thesmallest amount of sleep — they stayed awake all night. The next day, Dr.Home tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative andoriginal thinking. One of the questions was “How many uses can a cardboard第 5 页 (共 10 页)
box be put to?” The results? The wide-awake students did well on the tests. The tiredstudents did poorly. Research has already shown that tired people can do okay on tests ofroutine thinking, like simple addition. But Dr. Home tested creative thinkingonly. As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to thesleepy students if they did well. But even this encouragement wasn’t enough tohelp the students overcome their tiredness. They still did poorly. Dr. Homebelieves that the cerebral cortex — the part of the brain where thinking takesplace — may get worn out during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair thebrain overnight. Without any sleep, he emphasizes, “even if you concentrateharder, you cannot do better.” This study gives people something to think about, especially people likehospital workers and airline pilots, who must stay awake all night and thenmake emergency decisions. 16.
