10、 阅读下面短文,然后在文后表格内完成内容摘要,每空不超过 3 个词。
Primary and middle schools in many Chinese cities have extended (延长) class breaks from 10 to 15 minutes in order to encourage outdoor activities among both students and teachers.
Traditionally, students in China have enjoyed a 10-minute break between classes. For students whose classrooms are on the third floor or above, a 10-minute break is not enough to do outdoor activities.
Extending class breaks has a great influence on students. It helps to make sure that they can take part in at least 30 minutes of physical exercise a day. And this is good for both their physical and mental health.Many cities, including Beijing, Wuxi, and Qingdao, have carried out 15-minute breaks.
* In Beijing
After carrying out the extended break from the start of September 2024, the times for morning arrival and afternoon dismissal(解散) remain unchanged in primary schools, while the dismissal times are extended by 5minutes in middle schools.
* In Wuxi
Some schools have carried out 15-minute breaks and one PE class daily. Students are required to have no less than 100 minutes of physical exercise at school each day.
* In Qingdao
Some primary schools in Qingdao have introduced many kinds of outdoor games, such as rope skipping and hula hoop exercises, during the 15-minute breaks. A report showed that the percentage of Qingdao students achieving"excellent" or"good" fitness ratings(等级) had increased by 10 percentage points to 47percent.

Before you think of buying a bird from a pet store, market or anywhere else, be sure to check out the following pet bird facts to learn why you should think very carefully before you take one home.
Company means everything to birds
In nature, birds live together in large groups of 100 or more. Cockatiels(澳洲鹦鹉) spend their days socializing, straightening their feathers and looking for food on the ground within their groups. Sun conures(太阳鹦鹉) live in groups of 10 to 30 and seldom leave each other's side. But when they are kept as pets,they, as well as other kinds of birds, often live in groups that are too small. What's worse, they sometimes have to live alone. For them, this is no life at all.
When they are kept apart from others of their own kind, birds will bond with their owners. They will scream non-stop when their human companion is not around. It is like taking away half of their heart to make them spend most of their time all by themselves. Once they are left alone at home, many birds feel sad. Some may even pull out their own feathers or destroy things.
Some birds can live longer than you
Many people buy parrots when the birds are still very young. To sell as many birds as possible, some sellers don't tell buyers how carefully and how long they will need to take care of their birds. For example,when some people buy a parrot as a pet, they don't even realize that the bird could probably live longer than them.
Anyone who buys a macaw(金刚鹦鹉) needs to make a plan across generations. In order to provide that animal with a safe home for its whole life, it is important to make sure that another person will be there to care for the bird after its first owner has died.
The feeling of freshness won't last long
Birds are often seen as smart and talented animals. Some are even able to speak human languages. But sometimes, if a bird doesn't behave or"perform" as its human owners want, the animal may be considered troublesome. For example, bird buyers don't know how loud birds can actually be. They may find that they need to wear headphones at home whenever the bird is awake.
Unwanted birds are unlikely to receive the care they need. If they are released by their owners, most of them will quickly die. That's because they are not good at finding food or water, cannot protect themselves during bad weather or from diseases, and cannot get away from danger.
(1)、According to the passage, what may pet birds do when they are left alone at home?①They may pull out their feathers. ②They may destroy things at home.
③They may scream without stopping. ④They may fly outside of their homes.
A、①②③ B、①②④ C、①③④ D、②③④(2)、Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ____ .A、why it is good for a bird to be kept as a pet B、what kinds of birds live together in groups C、how birds live together in groups in nature D、what kind of group a bird needs for company(3)、The underlined phrase "bond with" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to"____".A、put up with B、go somewhere with C、live together with D、become friends with(4)、Why does a macaw owner need to make a plan for the bird across generations?A、Because a macaw needs love from the owner of different ages. B、Because a macaw is often seen as part of the owner's family. C、Because the owner can pass the pet on to the next generation as a gift. D、Because a macaw will need to be well cared for after the first owner has died.(5)、Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A、Birds Are the Best Choices as Pets B、Birds Are the Good Friends of Human Beings C、Think Twice Before You Buy Birds as Pets D、Some Useful Ways to Keep Birds -

At 67 years old, Xu Shuangmin shocked everyone by deciding to travel 4,000 km northwest to begin a new chapter(篇章) in her life as a volunteer teacher.
In September 2021, Xu joined a pilot program about the silver-age teacher action launched by the Ministry of Education. The purpose of this program was to use the rich experience and knowledge of retired teachers to improve the education of universities in western China. After retiring from Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, Xu began volunteering at China University of Petroleum-Beijing at Karamay in Xinjiang.
Most of the retired teachers come from the developed large cities. And the dry climate, sandy weather and simple living conditions in Xinjiang are very challenging. But Xu has just one request: to cook in her room, as she loves light meals and doesn't like the strong-flavored local dishes.
Although they are volunteers, these teachers work energetically. Take Zhong Dakang, who is in his sixties, as an example. He was a teacher from China University of Petroleum, Beijing. He often works overtime, spending the whole day in front of his computer and sometimes forgetting to take his blood pressure medicine.
Chen Xiaohe is a retired teacher from the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. Having difficulty in walking due to a car accident, he still enjoys teaching in front of a class. Chen even stays at the Karamay campus during the winter and summer vacations, preparing lessons and teaching materials. And he has extended(延长) his one-year volunteer time to three years. The praise he receives from students may be why he decides to stay longer. The course he teaches is often praised for being clear and easy to understand.
(1)、What is the main purpose of Xu's journey to Xinjiang?A、To volunteer as a teacher. B、To put forward a new plan. C、To give training to local teachers. D、To study the local education system.(2)、Why was the program started?A、To make retired teachers make more money. B、To help retired teachers find something to do. C、To let retired teachers have a new life experience. D、To provide the students in western China with better education.(3)、What does the underlined word "overtime" mean?A、To a fair degree. B、In an effective way. C、Beyond normal hours. D、For fewer hours than usual.(4)、What can you infer from the story of Chen Xiaohe?A、He will start to teach other courses. B、He will stop teaching three years later. C、He doesn't want to go back to his hometown anymore.
