　　In most of the United States, students attend classes for 5 days each week. Schools are required to hold classes for about 180 days a year. Recently, schools in some areas of the country have begun experimenting with the new teaching arrangement of holding classes for 4 days a week. Classes would meet either Monday through Thursday, or Tuesday through Friday. Some schools in 12 American states are now using that schedule( 日程安排).

　　The students still have the same number of total hours in class as before. But they attend school for a longer time on each of the 4 days. In Colorado, schools on the four-day week hold classes for seven-and-one-half hours a day for 144 days. Traditional (传统的)schools meet for 6 hours a day for 180 days.

　　Many schools on a four-day schedule offer special programs, trips or sports meets on the fifth day. Officials say this gives students even more time in class than on the traditional schedule. Students do not have to miss school to go to the events. They can also go to doctors or deal with other important affairs on the fifth day.

　　The main reason for shortening the school week is that many small schools can save money by not providing meals or transportation for students on the fifth day. And they say research shows that students are not harmed by shorter week.

　　根据以上内容,回答下面试题.

　　第39题单选 (　) How many teaching hours do most of the schools have in the U. S. ?

　　C.Students take part in more after-class activities.

　　D.Students have to take special programs on the fifth day.

　　第41题单选 (　)Which of the following is TRUE about the four-day schedule?

　　A.It is being practiced in some states.

　　B.It is being planned all over the country.

　　C.It helps students save money for meals.

　　Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents(专利) on inventions than any other American.

　　When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him. One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total black-out. All electric power would be shut off in homes, streets and factories.

　　Perhaps this suggestion made Americans realize futly what Edison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A black-out was out of the question.

　　On the day of Edison's funeral, many people silently dimmed their lights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen's fingertips.

　　The keyboard of a typewriter refers to the set of keys in it. Most typewriters have "qwerty" key-boards. The name comes from the first six letters on the board's second line. The "qwerty" board was set up by C. L. Sholes, who was the first man to make a really good typewriter.

　　Some letters, such as S and T, are used together a great deal in English. Sholes placed such pairs of letter far apart on his keyboard. This made it harder for typists to learn the keyboard. But it helped keep typewriters from jamming. On early machines the bars holding the letters often caught on each other when moving quickly.

　　Sholes made the name of his machine easy to type. He placed on the same line all the letters of the word "type" and "writer".
