This year is a leap year. Leap years are years with 366 days, instead of the usual 365. Leap years are necessary because the actual length of a year is 365.242 days, not 365 days, as commonly stated. Basically, leap years come every 4 years, and most years that can be evenly(平均地) divided by 4 have 366 days. This extra day is added to the calendar on February 29^th which is known as a leap day. Why leap is used here? Leap means jump.[來源:]

However, there is one exception to the leap year rule about century years. Century years are only considered as leap years if they are evenly divided by 400. Therefore, 1900 was not a leap year, but 2000 was a leap year.

A person who is born on February 29^th may be called a "leapling" or a "leap year baby". In non-leap years, some leaplings celebrate(慶祝) their birthday on either February 28^th or March 1^st. In England and Wales or in Hong Kong, a person born on February 29^th, 1996, will have legally(法律上) reached 18 years old on March 1^st, 2014. If he or she was born in the United States, Taiwan or New Zealand, his or her legally birthday will come a day earlier.

There is a popular custom in some countries that a woman may ask a man to marry her on February 29^th. If the man refuses, he then has to give the woman money or buy her a dress.

Since leap days are special days, people nowadays want to do something different within the 24 extra hours. Big jumps are the most popular ones.

Some salaried(領(lǐng)薪水的) workers want to get pay for their extra day’s work. But in my opinion, if you know why there is a leap day, you will get the answer to this problem.

1. The next leap year is          .

A. 2014                         B. 2016                       C. 2018

2. American boy Toby is a leapling. Next year he will probably to have his birthday party on       .

A. February 28^th                  B. February 29^th                C. March 1^st

3. Which picture is about popular custom on leap days?

A.                  B.              C.

4.. Many people like to have a big jump on leap days probably because         .

A. it’s a custom                  B. they are leaplings             C. leap means jump

5.We can learn from the passage that         .

A. 2100 will not be a leap year

B. every year leaplings celebrate their birthday on either February 28^th or March 1^st

C. it is necessary to pay the salaried workers for the leap day’s work

 

Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining（疼痛）too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction（減少）of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called goReader has created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer（筆記本電腦）, weighing about 2.5 kg. The goReader has a color screen and can "hold" all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in 'The Asian Age' newspaper.

The company plans to work closely with the publishers（出版商） of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download（下載） their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.

At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper, and the smell of the black ink?

1.What does the underlined word “bulky” in the first line mean?

A. light                                 B. small                                C. big and heavy                D. old

2.What would Indians do to solve（解決）the problem?

A. They would reduce the textbooks.                         B. They would tell the parents to help students.

C. They would tell the teachers to help students.  D. They would take students to school by bus.

3. The writer may think that Americans have a ________ way to solve the problem.

A. more stupid                            B. worse                              C. better                              D. quicker

4.The goReader may be a machine ________.

A. that can work as a teacher                                      B. that can be used as textbooks

C. that can cheat students                                           D. that can hurt students

5.When the new machine is used, it is possible that ________.

A. students might study harder                                  

B. students might study at home

C. students might not need teachers                       

D. students might study without paper textbooks
