2拓展性作业
一、主题拓展阅读
（一）阅读理解
Naturally, American schoolchildren love holidays. And they get a lot of them each year.
Besides having national holidays such as Thanks giving and Presidents’ Day off from
school, students get longer breaks in the spring and summer holidays. In fact, kids in US only
go to school for about180 days a year. To students, holidays are perfect. However, parents think
there are advantages(优势) and disadvantages.
On one hand, school holidays allow families to spend time together. Many American
parents take time off from work during June, July or August to travel with their children on
vacation either in US or a foreign country. On the other hand, schoolchildren get much more time
off school than parents get vacation time. This means that parents with young children may have
to pay more in babysitting or daycare costs. As well, the long summer holidays mean that
students sometimes get bored.
Besides going on trips with their parents, American students enjoy taking part in different
kinds of activities during the holidays. For example, some kids enjoy summer camps and
outdoor adventure(冒险) holidays. Such trips are great for adventurous students. They also have
a lot to offer students who aren’t usually interested in traditional PE activities. You can do
courses in survival(生存) skills, for example. Students learn how to make a camp in the forest,
which wild food they can eat and how to find their way back to the center.
Students who are not excited about summer camps and outdoor adventure may take part in
courses in computer game design, filmmaking and photography during the holidays. Finally, the
traditional school trip to foreign countries is always popular. Students can practise their foreign
language skills and experience everyday life in a different culture.
( )1. What does the underlined word “They” refer to in the third paragraph?
A. Different traditional PE activities. B. Some kids.
C. Summer camps and outdoor adventure. D. Parents.
( )2. From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A. both parents and students think school holidays are perfect
B. parents can take care of their young children during all the holidays
C. students enjoy taking part in different kinds of activities during holidays
D. students don’t like to have school trips to foreign countries during holidays
( )3. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. School trips in the US.
B. School holidays in the US.
C. School activities in the US.
D. Outdoor adventure in the US.

Have you read anything about BMI? BMI means Body Mass Index(体重指数). It is a way of
