I met Kumkum at a children’s home in Delhi. It is a home where children【小题1】are sick are provided treatment and care before【小题2】 (send) to some other orphanage. Kumkum was 7 years old, and【小题3】very brave soul. 【小题4】suffering from tuberculosis（肺结核), I never saw her crying. She 【小题5】 (lose) her parents and was struggling herself through this terrible disease.
Upon meeting, we took an instant liking to each other. Every Saturday I would visit Kumkum and play with her. She would love to sit on my lap. It was one such moment that the child felt like

The family is a central institution of modern British society, at least in the 【小题1】that almost everybody has had experience of living in a family at some time in their lives. There are many different family patterns in modern Britain.
One pattern that was【小题2】in the 1950s and covers about one in eight families today is where the parents and married children live【小题3】together but in separate houses. The family bond【小题4】strong and mothers and daughters are【小题5】to meet each other most days to talk or help each other. This pattern【小题6】more often in settled communities rather than in【小题7】ones, in the north of England rather than in the south, and in working class rather than middle-class families.
Another pattern is where parents and married children live
further apart (usually about an hour’s car【小题8】from each other). Many of them meet only once or twice a month but keep in【小题9】by telephone and help each other when【小题10】. This pattern is growing and covers about half of the population. It is found
especially in middle-class families in the south-east of England.

3. A recent study shows that more years of school could help students get higher scores on intelligence tests. That was the finding of a study of teenage males in Norway. Now, other research shows that_______activity may help students do better in their classes.
The research comes as educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like physical education. They are using the time instead for_________subjects like math and reading.
Researchers at VU University Medical Center in
Amsterdam_______the results of fourteen studies, which included more than fifty-five thousand children, aged six to eighteen.
Research Amika Singh says the studies showed a _______between physical activity and scores on subjects such as Math, English and reading. “Based on the results of our study we can conclude that being physically active is_______for academic performance.”
Ms. Singh_________some possible explanations. “There are, first, physiological explanations, like more blood flow, and so more oxygen to the brain. Being physically_______means there are more hormones produced like endorphins（内啡肽）. And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved, which means you also_______better.”
Also, students_______in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them. This could improve their classroom________and help them keep their mind on their work.
The study__________some questions unanswered, however. Ms. Singh says it is not possible to say whether the amounts or kind of
activity________the level of academic improvement. This is because of differences among the studies.
Also, they were mostly observational studies. An observational study is where researchers do not do controlled comparisons. They only describe what they observe. So they might observe a link that students who are more active often have better grades. But that does not__________mean being active was the cause of those higher grades. Therefore, more high-quality studies are needed to ________their findings.
Still, the general finding was that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should
consider that finding before they________physical education programs. 【小题1】 A．mental 【小题2】 A．academic 【小题3】 A．previewed 【小题4】 A．record 【小题5】 A．risky 【小题6】 A．offers 【小题7】 A．passive 【小题8】 A．excuse
