China has a new policy. It lets primary and secondary schools add a spring break and an autumn break. Students still
have summer and winter holidays. Now they may also get one week off in spring and one week in autumn. While some
parents welcome the chance for family time, others worry about childcare arrangements(安排).
Some provinces, like Sichuan and Jiangsu, have already made plans for an April break.
A recent survey conducted by China Youth Daily of 2,000 parents found that 58% support the new breaks, 28% have

families cannot spend time together, the policy will not work well,” he said.
Lu Ming, an education expert, said that schools and communities can help. They can plan activities for children
whose parents have to work.

[The following is an excerpt(节选) from Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro.The novel talks about an AI
“Friend” Klara who believes the Sun can heal her sick human friend.]
When we were new, Rosa and I stayed in the middle of the store, near the magazine table.From there we could see part
of the window and watch the outside world -people passing by,taxis, tourists, Beggar Man and his dog, and the lower part of
the RPO Building.
Later, after we got used to the store, Manager let us walk to the front behind the shop window.From there we could see
how tall the RPO Building was. And if we were there at just the right time, we would see the Sun crossing between the
buildings.
When I was lucky enough to see him, I’d move my face forward to take in as much of his nourishment(滋养)as I
could, and if Rosa was with me, I’d tell her to do the same. After a minute or two, we’d have to return to our places and
when we were new, we worried that because we couldn’t see the Sun from the middle of the store, we’d grow weaker. Boy
AF Rex, who was next to us, told us not to worry. He pointed to the floor and said, “That’s the Sun’s pattern(图案)right
there. If you’re worried, you can just touch it and get strong again.”
There were no customers then. Manager wan busy, and I didn’t want to bother her. So I took a quick look at Rosa.
When she looked back with no expression, I stepped forward, bent down and reached out to touch the Sun’s pattern. But as
soon as I touched it, the pattern was gone. I tried everything - patting(拍打)the spot, rubbing(摩擦)the floor - but it
wouldn’t come back.
When I stood up, Rex said, “Klara, that was greedy(贪婪的).You took all the nourishment for yourself. Look, it’s
almost dark.”
“I’m sorry,” I said. “I didn’t mean to.”
“Because of you,” Rex said, “I’ll become weak by evening.”
“You’re joking,”I said.
“I’m not. I could get sick right now. And those AFs in the back They’re already not well. They’ll get worse now. You
were greedy, Klara.”
“I don’t believe you,” I said, but I was no longer sure. I looked at Rosa - her face was still blank.
“I’m feeling sick already,” Rex said.
“But you just said the Sun always reaches us. You’re joking.”
In the end, I made myself believe Rex was joking with me. But I sensed I had made him bring up something
uncomfortable - something most AFs preferred not to talk about. Not long after, that thing happened to Rex. It made me
think that even if he had been joking that day, part of him had been serious too.
49. Why did Klara decide to touch the Sun’s pattern on the floor
A. Because she wondered if Rex was right.
B. Because Rosa asked her to do it.
C. Because Manager told her to do it.
D. Because she wanted to play a trick on Rex.

B. She took in all the sunlight for herself.
C. She touched the pattern without permission.
D. She made the Sun disappear from the store.
52. How did Klara’s attitude(态度)toward Rex’s words change during the story?
