It's March, 2050.
Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and switch on the bedroom computer to get the latest news.They used to read the Times, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago.
There is the usual news about space:another space flight has returned from Mars and scientists have discovered a new planet.Then they turn to business news:the US dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai, one of the world's leading business centres.Mary tells the computer to buy 5, 000 dollars, and there is a quick response that it has been done.
As they watch the screen, Mary orders one of the household robots to make coffee for them.Frank disappears into the study to join a video conference with his partners around the world.He is a computer engineer, working for several companies.This is his third job:he used to be in marketing and then television.
Mary has a quick look at the shopping channels-the usual selection of electric cars, household robots and cheap travel offers-before picking up the video phone to talk to her assistant.She also has a job and she is doing medical research.Both she and Frank used to have an office desk in London, but in 2014 they decided to move to the seaside and work from home.
Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise, who also has her own workstation at home.She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students.Classrooms disappeared in 2030 because there was no longer any need for them:communications systems have made it much easier to learn at home.

1.want to get the latest news. 2.Mary reads both space and business news(這題比較有爭議,我開始的意見是turn to是表示翻到了商務(wù)新聞版塊而不是轉(zhuǎn)到,所以選了Mary reads business news.但剛剛我在網(wǎng)上查了下資料在大學(xué)英語聽力中找到了資料,中考是在第二段的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行了改編,但是內(nèi)容應(yīng)該還是連貫的,在原文中,體現(xiàn)出了他們有read space news。所以這邊答案基本可以確定是both了。) 3.One of the household robots. 4.Frank works with others from home through advanced communications systems/through computers 5.Chinese and English 6.convenient computers can help her with a lot of work. |

Teachers say buying homework answers online is not many in schools, but an interview with school students shows only 10% are willing to finish their holiday homework by themselves.
Their main complaint is that the homework is too much for them to finish.
“As far as ! know, many of my students have to go to all kinds of training classes during the holiday. These lake away much of their time for doing homework.”
But as for the parents who are sending their children to these training classes they also say they’ve got no choice. Here’s a view from a student’s father.
"All the other kids in the neighborhood are learning extra things. You know parents sometimes compare their kids. I’m afraid my kid will be less successful than the others in the future."
In order to do with this situation of students copying each other’s homework, some schools have even dropped the idea of holiday homework. Instead, they organize some interesting outdoor activities.
Educational experts say students love to learn through games or activities that they can be a part of‘ They suggest schools drop the current (目前的)homework format (設(shè)計),and turn to homework that encourages kids to get involved (參與).This way, they would no longer want to copy from each other or buy answers through the Internet.
Answer the following questions according to what you read.
【小題1】Why do students copy or buy homework answers?
【小題2】 What do students spend much time on during the holiday?
【小題3】Most parents want their kids to be successful, don’t they?
【小題4】 How do some schools deal with the problem of students copying homework?
【小題5】 List a kind of your favorite holiday homework according to the passage.
