31、ten and returned home to let our two younger children play while I worked on my medical report. It was wonderful, but it hit me that my career in hospital wasn't making a difference in anyone's life. I needed something that would stretch my limits and push me to grow. My career enabled me to

32、 work from home. I could work from home, and become a foster ( 領(lǐng)養(yǎng) ):mother, providing safety for a child who needed it desperately.On Monday morning, I picked up the phone and dialed the number I had googled for the nearest Departmentof Children's Services. The man on the other end was receptive

33、 to my questions and explained the next step of training, involving eight weeks of classes designed to prepare and educate foster parents. We continued through all the classes, the home vits, background checks, and seemingly endless steps.Five long months after we were approved, the phone rang. In t

34、he middle of the night, I woke my husband and rushed to East Tennessee Children's' Hospital. Our placement was waiting for us in the emergency room, sick and lack of nutrition. It didn't take long for us to realize the full depth of her suffering. Six months later, her half-brother came

41、 are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.For working parents, the long summer break can be a very: difficult problem for childcare.

42、When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.The schools that I visit in No

43、ttingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children: a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure: that children get a healthy start to the day. Most

44、 schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.While teachers are holidaying in the UK,

45、 many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.In setting out its plans for a five-ter

46、m year, Nottingham City Council（ 委員會 ） is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “ down time to” school staff and pupils but will be short enough not

47、 to cause a real break in learning.We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for. city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.45. The p

The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students.A. obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costsB. get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in schoolC. benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environmentD

50、. have a real break in learning49. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their childrenB. the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried outC. the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “ down time ”D

51、. some school staff will say “ No” to the plans for a shorter summer holidayTo learn to think is to learn to question. Those who don't question never truly think for themselves. These are simple rules that have governed the advancement of science and human thought since the beginning of time. Ad

52、vancements are made when thinkers question theories and introduce new ones. Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theories explained much of the natural world, often incorrectly. He wa

53、s so esteemed by the scientific community that even 1,200 years after his death, scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them!Brilliant minds can intimidate up-and-coming thinkers who are not confident of their abilities. They often believe they. are inferior to t

54、he minds of giants such as Aristotle, leading many to accept current paradigms （ 范例 ） instead of questioning them.1, like many thinkers of the past, once believed in my mental inferiority. I was certain that my parents, my teachers - adults in general - were always right. They were like a textbook t

55、o me; I didn't question what was written on those pages. I respected them, and accepted whatever they told me. But that attitude soon changed. My mind's independence was first stimulated in the classroom.A strict, 65-year-old elementary school science teacher once told me that light is a typ

56、e of wave. I confidently went through years of school believing that light is a wave. One day, however, I heard the German exchange student mention that light could be made up of particles. As the others laughed at his statement, I started to question my belief.Maybe the teachers and textbooks hadn&

57、#39;t given me the whole story. I went to the library, did some research and learned of the light-as-a-wave versus light-as-a-particle debate. I read about Einstein's discovery of the dual nature of light and learned the facts of a paradox （悖論） that puzzles the world's greatest thinkers to t

58、his day. Lightbehaves as both a particle and a wave. I realized I had gone through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth.Each new year brought more new facts, and I formulated even more questions. I found myself in the library after school, trying to find my own answers to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I already knew. I discovered that my parents and teachers are incredible tools in my quest for knowledge, but they are never the final word. Even textbooks can be challenged. I learned
