　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap.Some call it the summer learning setback.Put simply，it means the longer kids are out of school，the more they forget.The only thing they might gain is weight.Recent studies show that children gain weight more quickly in the summer vacation than when they are in school.

　　Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar.Students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation.Some schools follow a year-round calendar.They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time，with a few weeks off in between.But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school.

　　Last year，a study at Ohio State University reported that year-round students did not learn any more than other students.Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said “year-round schools don’t really solve the problem of the summer learning setback.They simply spread it out across the year”．

　　Across the country，the research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer vacation than other students.Experts say this can be prevented.They note that many schools and local governments offer the programs that can help.

　　But calling them “summer schools” could be a problem.The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins，Ron Fairchild，recently wrote about this issue on his blog.

　　He said that in American culture，the idea of the summer vacation is connected to the beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood.He said a research on groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term summer school.They said it created an image of children being forced to do work they missed during the school year.

　　36．Which of the following is the result of the long summer vacation?

　　A．Kids become much stronger.

　　B．More kids drop out of school.

　　C．Kids become poor in learning.

　　D．Kids take part in all kinds of activities.

　　37．Some American schools have their vacations________.

　　A．every two months

　　B．every few weeks

　　C．every three monthsD．every four months

　　38．The study at Ohio State University suggests that________.

　　A．the traditional calendar is better than the year-round one

　　B．the year-round calendar is better than the traditional one

　　C．the traditional calendar is as bad as the year-round one

　　D．the year-round calendar is the same as the traditional one

　　39．The summer vacation is most likely to have a bad effect on the kids________.

　　A．who are too youngB．whose families are poor

　　C．who are too naughtyD．who don’t work hard

　　40．According to American culture during the summer vacation kids________.

　　A．should try their best to improve their lessons
