For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful. In the PISA survey, which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15-year-olds around the world, Finland is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western world? Until the 1960s Finland’s school system had been influenced largely by its neighbor, the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years; some went on to private schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to change and modernize their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive. Lawmakers made a simple decision: a basic school for all the 7- to 16-year-olds. Compulsory education begins at 7. The government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool as well. Most of Finland’s schools get their money from the government. The people who are in charge of the education system, from teachers to officials are trained teachers, not politicians like in other countries. Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. Schools in Finland are small, at least for international standards. So teachers know every pupil in their school and try everything to succeed with their pupils. That is why dropout rates are low compared to other countries. In contrast to other nations, teachers in Finland are highly respected. Finland selects its teachers very carefully: only talented students go on to a university and receive a master’s degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its youth. All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances in education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and poor, as in America or other western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and the worst students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education, the highest rate in the European Union. 【1】What can be the best title for the text? A.What Differences European Schools Have B.What Good Schools Provide Students with C.Why Finland’s School System Has Changed D.Why Finland’s School System Is Successful 【2】What did the Finland government do in the middle of the 1960s? A.They encouraged students to go to private school. B.They changed the school system. C.They lengthened preschool education. D.They learned modern education from neighboring countries. 【3】We can learn from the text that ______________. A.the children in Finland attend preschool at the age of six. B.the children in Finland have equal opportunity to receive education. C.the school system in Finland is better than that in Singapore. D.the school equipment in Finland doesn’t meet international standards. 【4】The author mentions Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea to show________. A.the school system in Finland has been very successful B.Asian countries are successful in school education C.students in these places are better than those in European countries D.the educational system in Asia is different from that in the western world |

By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat? A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body. Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.” A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways. Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook. What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better. 【1】The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________. A.people should eat more vegetables B.the way people eat vegetables is important C.eating vegetables is good for us D.how much vegetables one should eat 【2】The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________. A.have the eyes problems B.have heart disease C.be in need of lycopene D.hate eating tomatoes 【3】The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________. A.the place where the vegetables are grown B.the way how the vegetables are stored C.the way how the vegetables are prepared D.the price at which the vegetable are sold 【4】From the last paragraph, we can know ________. A.it's better to cook vegetables with the fat B.the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat C.it's better to cook the vegetables without salt D.the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables |
