A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation has caused a stir in China and in the UK.
The documentary, titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough? Chinese School revolves (以……為主題) around five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire.
The teachers instruct the students for a month. The pupils are then tested, and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance.
The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems, with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline(紀(jì)律), while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy.
This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage note learning instead of independent thinking. For instance, Chinese language teachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching.
Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, “The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students' interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply 'transplanted' into another place.”
Yang Dongping says, “The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel Prize winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair comment on this issue. He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may compromise the training for high-potential outstanding students.”
1.What is the purpose of 50 UK teens' being instructed by five Chinese teachers?
A. To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching method.
B. To help the school improve their teaching efficiency.
C. To do some practical research into the UK education system.
D. To test the intelligence of the UK teens.
2.What's the meaning of the underlined work "harsh" in the fourth paragraph?
A. Very attractive. B. Quite friendly.
C. Rather cold. D. Extremely strict.
3.According to the report, Chinese teaching methods should focus more on ________.
A. passing on knowledge B. encouraging independent thinking
C. regulation and discipline D. training the majority strictly
4.Yang Zhenning's comment implies that traditional Chinese teaching methods are ________.
A. good for Chinese students of all levels
B. helpful to students of high standards
C. good for most ordinary qualified students
D. helpful to high-potential outstanding students

Air is an odorless (無(wú)氣味的), invisible (看不見的) gas that surrounds the earth. It is everywhere on the planet. An “empty” drinking glass and an “empty” room, to give two examples, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.
Air, as a gas, has no definite (明確的) shape, but, because it is matter, it takes up space. It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a dry handkerchief into the bottom(底部) of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside-down. Push the upside-down glass; hold it straight into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of water, the handkerchief will be dry. The air inside the glass takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.
1.What does the underlined word “Stuff” (in Paragraph 2) mean?
A. Press tightly. B. Take out.
C. Put down. D. Turn fully.
2.The writer tells us that _______.
A. the experiment is done in the laboratory
B. the experiment is done outside the room
C. the experiment is easily done
D. the experiment is carried out indoors
3.Which of the following pictures gives us the correct result?
(W—water; A—air; H—handkerchief)
A. B.

Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

2.According to the Project Lighthouse, it is likely that the author______________

D. Faced strong competition from other candidates
4.On arrival at the village, the author was ___________
A. asked to lead a farming team
B. sent to teach in schoolhouse
C. received warmly by local villagers
D. arranged to live in a separate house.
5.What can we infer from the author’s experiences in Nigeria?

B. He had learned to communicate in the local language.
C. He had overcome all his weakness before he left for home.
D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students.
