But in some states, officials kids need more time to learn.More class time can improve test scores, according to a report by the Education Sector.

Many things are unknown about human brain and scientists are still working hard to understand it. There are many misleading（误导人的）acts about the power of the human brain.Do you know every day we use 100% of our brain? Some think that no one uses 100% of their brain. But in fact we all use it completely. Every part connected with some part of your body, and while we are still alive, we use all the parts. So our brain is fully used. But one thing we can say is that we do not use the full potential（潜能）of our brain. The human brain has more potential. For example, there is nothing in the world you cannot learn, but some give up just because they think they cannot do it. In fact, every brain is strong to learn and understand. You need to develop that untouched potential of your brain and give some more time to that work.There are also some interesting facts you didn’t know about human brain.● Our brain can't do many things at the same ti me. Neurons（神经细胞）in our brain work soquickly that we feel we're doing more than one task, but actually we are not.● Our brain does more creative work when we're tired.● Seeing positive in others shows our positive traits, and seeing negative in others shows ournegative traits.● Being with happy people makes us happier.● Happiness, anger, sadness, fear, disgust, and surprise are the six feelings that people all overthe word show.● We are happier when we are kept busy, as this stops us from thinking about the negativethings in life.Our brain makes us different from other animals and enables humans to progress and grow. Just put your potential to full use and achieve the unbelievable.(1)Do we use 100% of our brain every day?(2)Why do some people give up learning a new thing?(3)When is the brain more creative?(4)What are the six feelings people all over the world show?(5)What is the main idea of this passage?完成句子(1)提示词语：shop, next Sunday(2)提示词语：Jim, often, help, mother, housework(3)提示词语：run, fast, than(4)提示词语：the children, have a party, last month(5)提示词语：she, nurse, when, grow up书面表达题目一：假如你是李华，春节快到了，你们年级的外教Jim将第一次在中国过年。
