How long should the school year be In traditional schools, children are in school over the fall and winter months for about 180 days, and then are out of school for months. In the 21st century, some schools started to move towards year-round schooling. Year-round schooling still has students in school for 180 days, but they aren’t there continuously , for example, students in school for 60 days and then out for 20 days.
When students have two consecutive months off school, they don’t always remember what they learn during the school year. Teachers refer to this as Summer Learning Loss. Summer Learning Loss doesn't only refer to the information that the students learned, but also the study habits that they had.
If students are always getting a few weeks off every few months, they will not become tired from school. Many teachers in traditional schools agree that with short rest students can be full of energy before going back to school.
In the adult world, most people don't work for nine months and then take three months off. This is often a hard adjustment for students to make when they go to work in the future. If a student goes to a year-round school, he or she is more used to working all over the year.
51. This passage mainly talks about_______.
A. the teaching of year-round schools B.the benefits of year-round schooling
C. the students of year-round schools D. the start of year-round schooling
52. What do we know about the students in the year-round school

There was nothing for Mary to do in the house, so every day she walked in the gardens. She did this before breakfast, and the fresh air made her hungry. She was so hungry that she even ate the porridge and enjoyed it. After breakfast, Mary walked in the gardens and on the moor. She spent most of her time outdoors and began to feel healthier and happier than she had felt for a very long time.
One day, she walked around the wall without a door. Suddenly, she heard a bird singing. She looked up, and the robin was sitting on a branch that hung over the wall. She was pleased to see the bird and talked to it. “You live in that garden, don’t you ” she said. “But no one can go in because there isn’t a door. I want to know what’s behind this wall.”
The next morning, when Martha brought her breakfast, she asked, “Martha, why isn’t there a door in the wall of one of the gardens ”
“I don’t know for certain,” Martha answered, “but the story is that when Mr. Craven married, he and his young wife were very happy. They used to spend a lot of their time together in that garden reading and talking. Then one day, a branch of a tree fell down and hit Mr. Craven’s wife on the head. The next day she died.”
“Oh, that is such a sad story,” Mary said.
As she was thinking these things, she heard a cry. “What was that ” she asked Martha.
Quickly, Martha answered, “Just the wind.”
“No, it wasn’t,” Mary said. “It did not sound like the wind. And I heard a door shut somewhere.”
“If it wasn’t the wind,” Martha answered, “then it was Betty in the kitchen. She has a toothache.” Mary looked at Martha and thought, “She isn’t telling me the truth. She knows something she doesn’t want me to know.
