15、onment, many Americans have made the change from paper and plastic bags to reusable shopping bags.But a report by a Florida newspaper says that reusable shopping bags sold by some supermarkets have high levels of lead(铅), which can be dangerous to humans, especially young children.Now, theres a call

16、 for a rethink about the use of reusable shopping bags.“When our families go to the store looking for safe and healthy foods, the last thing they should be worrying about is a bag，”Charles Schumer, a government official said.“Quick and complete research will allow everyone to make right decisions.”T

17、he newspaper bought more than a dozen bags sold at Publix supermarkets from Florida supermarkets to test them for lead.The results showed that certain bags had lead levels that worried health officials.Some bags had enough lead in them to be considered dangerous waste if people were to throw the bag

18、s out with other rubbish.Lead in the bags is not likely to move onto food.But over time, paint (油漆) on the bags can break off and the bags can wear out.When this happens, lead can be freed.The affected (受影响的) bags were found in Florida.But Publix has more than 1，000 stores across America.Publix says

19、 that its bags dont break any laws about lead levels, but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce(降低) the lead levels in them.The bags with the highest levels of lead had beautiful designs and many pictures.Plain reusable bags without them are found to have little lead.People worried a

Sometimes he stole pencils or books from other children. But he always got caught.The teacher spoke to Rogers pare

23、nts and they tried to stop him from stealing things, but Roger wouldnt stop. He kept stealing.When he was older, he began to steal from stores, but he was still stupid. Once, he went into a store wearing the clothes he had stolen the day before. The still had the price tags (标签) on them, and the sto

24、re manager called the police. They warned him that he would go to jail if he didnt stop stealing.Then Roger decided to rob a bank. He planned everything. He got some gloves so that he would not leave fingerprints, and a mask so that no one would recognize him.“But what if they recognize my voice?” h

25、e thought.He decided to write his message on a piece of paper so that he wouldnt need to speak. He found an old envelope and wrote “give me all the money” on the back of it. He got a toy gun and went to the bank. He put on his mask and his gloves and showed the note to the bank clerk. The clerk gave

26、 him all the money, and Roger ran out of the bank and went home.Ten minutes later he heard a knock on the door. It was the police.

They frighten the school employees, not to

29、mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas-which is what fear does to us-research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago

30、 public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing: psychological safety or safety to speak ones mind, to

31、 discuss with openness and honesty what is and isnt working, to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesnt come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challenge is that our expe

32、ctations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work-a big difference between the teachers who left at the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when ex

33、pectations are unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a persons behavior. As we all know, assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers may think the principal takes particular decision based on his career a

34、dvancement rather than that is best for the students, who dont feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions, trust files out the window and our relationships suffer.32According to Paragraph 1, why does the author scratch his head?ABecause he doesnt know what to do once schools are closed.BB

35、ecause he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.CBecause he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.DBecause he is not in favor of the government s reform efforts.33According to Bryk and Schneider, what was most important for successful school improvement?ANew standard

36、s and tests in schools.BPositive social relationships.CStrict teacher and student evaluations.DAssistance of the government.34What is meant by trust in school?AFreedom to express one s views.BExtra effort teachers put into their work.CIndependence of the teachers in schools.DUnconscious and unspoken

37、 expectations.35What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a persons behavior?AThey should be trusted.BThey are often bold.CThey are often incorrect.DThey should be encouraged.How to Be Healthy and HappyWe all want to be healthy, happy, free of stress and more pr

38、oductive in life.1. Get enough sleep. It not only keeps you healthy but also you will be happier. It is said that “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” 36 2.

43、intings were put on display in a gallery in London, it attracted much attention.
