I was in a lot of high-level classes because my test scores were superb, especially in languages. I never got
18、less than an A on any language test-English, Spanish or French. Even a score under 95% was very rare.However, most of my language teachers found this irritating rather than encouraging because I didnt pay attention in class. I drew during lectures and my homework grades were far from satisfaction du
19、e to me almost never handing anything in. As an adult, I think many of them believed I had to be cheating, especially the one who refused to give me a bonus point on a test that would have raised my average score to an A for the quarter because I was not an A student on account of my study habits in
20、 her eyes.My mom tended to force me to complete my piles of missing assignments during the last week of each quarter, so that I didnt completely destroy my otherwise good grades. I had exactly one Spanish teacher who I was able to convince that I really was learning in class, regardless of what my p
21、encil was doing at the moment. And it was completely by accident.One day, she asked a general question in class. I was the only one to raise the hand to answer. I did so, and she replied in a somewhat stunned tone that I was correct. Why so surprised? Because at no point in this process did I look u
22、p from the drawing I was working on with my other hand.

26、tion to the issue. However, while much focus has been on improving access to technology for students, an area of digital equity that often gets neglected is how parents are expected to engage with their childrens schools.Research shows that students with engaged families earn higher grades, adapt mo
27、re quickly, have better behavior and social skills. Parents who know what is happening in the classroom are better equipped to help their children succeed and can combine learning at home with learning at school. Thats why equitable communication with parents needs to be part of a districts overall
28、equity goals.Equitable parent communication requires schools to meet parents where they are, especially considering that nearly 1 in 4 US homes live with no Internet access. Parents who do not have smart phones or personal computers should have the same access to their childrens teachers as parents
29、with the latest technology.Often districts use communication platforms that require parents to log into a website, choose a messaging service, or download software. Each of these obstacles restricts communication pathways for parents who do not have access to the required technology. Districts shoul
30、d consider platforms that enable parents to receive phone calls to fixed-line telephones and SMS messages to standard cellphones.In addition, platforms that focus on “blast” and “mass” types of messaging are sufficient for distributing information related to an entire classroom or school but miss th
31、e mark on developing meaningful relationships with individual parents and creating real engaging opportunities. Districts should opt to use tools that create digital equity for parents and create an environment where meaningful conversations can take place.To conclude, good school-home relationships
32、 are a crucial factor in childrens education. Positive school-home relationships must get supported as equitable communication is the pathway to engaging all parents in helping students achieve more success.28What does the underlined word “neglected” in Paragraph 1 mean?AMentioned.BIgnored.CExplored

Astonishing numbers of people with years of schooling are in effect illiterate. This months Lju
36、bljana Manifesto (宣言) explains: “The digital field may promote more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many temptations to read in a superficial and scattered (零散的) manner or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.”Thats frightening, because “higher-l
37、evel reading” has been essential to civilization. It enabled the enlightenment and an international increase in empathy. Without it, we would suffer a lot. As the Ljubljana Manifesto notes, “as much as one-third of Europeans struggle even with lower-level reading skills.” More than one-fifth of adul
38、ts in the US “fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category”. Separately, post-pandemic reading scores for American 13-year-olds are the lowest in decades. And the Washington-based Center for Global Development recently estimated that literacy in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa among t
39、hose with five years of schooling has decreased by 10% this past half century. Experts in the Ljubljana Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.”
40、 When you read a book on paper, you can be entirely inside the experience, absorb hundreds of pages of details thoroughly and begin to capture the worlds complexity. Online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning, scrolling”. The medium is the message: doing deep reading on your phon
41、e is as hard as playing tennis with your phone. Recently, a bright 11-year-old told me I was wasting time on books: he absorbed more information faster from Wikipedia. He had a point. But digital readers also absorb more misinformation and seldom absorb fine perspectives. In short, as professors fro
42、m Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英) “reading class” consumes long texts, which is worrying.32What can we learn about digital reading from paragraph 1?ADigital reading has solved the problem of illiteracy.BDigital reading has lessened the pr
43、actice of deep reading.CDigital reading has made deep reading accessible to wider readers.DDigital reading has aroused a greater appreciation for deep reading.33What is the purpose of the figures used in paragraph 2?ATo display the popularity of digital reading.BTo highlight the advantages of deep r

Do worrying thoughts keep you awake at night? You may have experienced one of these on certain occasions. 36 Here are three simple “f
46、irst-aid” techniques that could make a difference.Sit at your bedDo you jump out of bed the moment the alarm rings every morning? Perhaps the next time you get up in the morning, you can try this. Slowly get up and sit at your bed for a few minutes. 37 The important thing is not to let any hurried t
47、houghts clutter your mind. In these few quiet minutes to yourself, you will be able to feel refreshed. 38 On many occasions, we have our handphones right next to the served food, and our eyes are busy with the world within these tiny devices. Such actions seem to be the perfect recipe for an overworked brain.Instead, take mealtime as a time to enjoy your food. Slow down and let your eyes feast on the different colors, and allow your tongue to taste the variety of flavors. 39 It also helps you to feel more relaxed.Get movingPlaying sports such as basketball, soccer or simply going for
