A
Dont Let Them Close Your School!
Minutes of the meeting held in Malupit Community School on Wednesday 14th March at 8.00p.m.
Mr. Pomat, a Malupit shop owner, called the meeting to find out the views of the community on local government plans to close the Malupit Community School at the end of the present school year.
Mr. Pomat acted as chairman of the meeting.
He introduced Mr. L. Karazin, the Planning Office of the Raval Education Department. Mr. Karazin pointed out that there were now only fifty-three children at Malupit Community School. This was considered to be too high a number for the forming of two classes and the employment of two teachers. Mrs. Luvako, who had taught at the school for the past twenty-two years, would be retiring from the teaching service in July. The Planning Office wished to take this opportunity to close the school, because it is expensive to run, and to move the children to two bigger schools in Raval, six miles away.
Mrs. Jarvis, the mother of an eight-year-old boy at Malupit, asked what would happen about transport of Ravel. Mr. Karazin replied that the children would travel by bus. This would be provided by the Raval Transport Department, and it would take Malupit children to and from school free of charge.
Another parent, Mr. W. Riley, expressed the fear of many parents that closing the local school would mean that the children of Malupit would not grow up with the same sense of community as in the past. They would feel lost in the much larger schools in Raval.
Mr. Karazin replied that the Raval schools were not very large, and that, in any case the children would have to go to Raval later on for education at high-school level.
The chairman voiced the view of the meeting when he said that there was good reason to believe that there would soon be more young children living in Malupit. It would be foolish, he said, to close the school, and then to find that there were more than enough local children to form two classes and employ two teachers.
A final point was made by Mr. Colmar, a retired business man, that without Malupit Community School, there would be nowhere big enough for local clubs and organizations to hold their meetings.
Mr. Karazin promised that they would bring these points to the attention of the Education Department.
Mr. Pomat brought the meeting to a close shortly after 9 oclock.
41. Why did the Planning Office plan to close the school?
A.There were too many children in each class.
B. The schools in Raval were bigger and better.
C. It had too few children and it was expensive to run.
D. The teacher was retiring and they could not find another.
42. What would the children do if they no longer go to Malupit Community School?
A. Travel every day to two schools in Raval.
B. Go to Raval for education at high-school level.
C. Receive their education at the Ravel Education Department.
D. Attend a new local school to be built by the Planning Office.
43. Which of following statements is true about the children according to Mr. Karazin?
A. They would travel to Raval by their parents cars.
B. They would travel by bus to Raval without cost.
C. They would be taken each day by bus to the Raval Transport Department.
D. They would go by bus to and from school at a low cost.
44. What does the underlined part imply in the passage?
A. Mr. Pomat spoke most at the meeting because he was chairman.
B. Mr. Pomat called the meeting to find out parents views.
C. Mr. Pomat said what everyone at the meeting had asked him to say.
D. Mr. Pomat expressed the opinion held by everyone at the meeting.

Late last summer, I was introduced to a new special someone. We met at an Apple product announcement. She was helpful, smart, and even funny, talking of jokes and making me laugh. What more could a man ask for?
Since then, we have had some major communication issues. She frequently misunderstands what Im saying. Sometimes she is just unavailable. Often, she responds with the same repetitive words. Her name is Siri.
At first, Siri, the voice-activated digital assistant on Apple Iphones, seemed a little too good to be true. Siri cheated me into a relationship promising to help me set up appointments, to gently wake me in the morning for work, and to give me the ability to text someone while I was driving.
It didnt work out that way. “Theres something wrong, and I cant answer your questions right now. Please try again in a little while,” Siri will say when I ask something, or “Im really sorry about this, but I cant take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while.” She is always polite. But Im starting to suspect that “Im really sorry” is just something Siri says to shut me up.
Apple introduced Siri as a beta test, meaning it was still a work in progress. That was unusual for Apple. It wanted a head start. But it doesnt seem ready to change anything yet. Many people I have spoken to have switched Siri off and turned to the iPhones voice dictation service, which is more reliable because it doesnt use Siris artificial intelligence software.
48. How did the author feel when he first met Siri?
A. He felt quite satisfied with her functions.
B. He didnt care what functions she had at all.
D. He felt she was smart but very boring.
C. He felt unsatisfied with her limited functions.
49. What makes the author feel annoyed about Siri later in life?
A. She frequently fails to finish what he wishes for.
B. She often receives some calls from strangers.
C. She always wants him to shut up.
D. She is always out of order.
50. Why do more people choose not to use Siri any longer?
A. She looks so ugly.
B. She is too polite.
C. Her artificial intelligence software isnt reliable.
D. Apple fails to make more successful advertisements.

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teens work. 51 What they look for is your presence—to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express his worries and fears, but dont let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized. 52 Together, you and your teen can work out a time-table in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study. Its important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best. 53 If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches.A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.
54 Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing stress.
Show a positive attitude. 55 Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teens pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.
A. Encourage your teen to relax.
B. The best thing is simply to listen.
C. They will only make the situation worse.
D. Students pressure sometimes comes from their parents.
