Hi, I'm Amanda! I was asked to share more about my experience as an online student of Virtual High School to give you a better idea of what it's like, or at least what it was like for me. Usually I was working on four courses at a time, just as if I were in a brick-and-mortar high school. But unlike students in a brick-and-mortar school, I did not work for a set amount of time each day. Sometimes I would spend the whole day on English, and on another I would study among all four, depending on how focused I was or what I felt motivated to do. I loved skating during my high school years, both as a competitor and a coach. Below is an example of what a typical day was like for me. 6:00 am—8:00 am: Skating 9:00 am—10:30 am: Read content for English 10:30 am—10:45 am: Break (usually a walk outside, catching up with friends, etc.) 10:45 am—12:00 pm: Begin brainstorming and do primary research for English assignments 12:00 pm—12:30 pm: Lunch 12: 30 pm—3 :30 pm: Read content for maths, work through exercises, start a maths assignment 4:00 pm—7 :00 pm: Skating and coaching A common question I would get was, “Do you spend a lot of time in front of the computer to do the courses?” The answer is “yes”. It is an online school, after all. That does not mean that you are tied to a desk, however. Like students in brick-and-mortar schools, I took notes by hand so that I wasn’t always typing or looking at a screen. I often went to the library to find books for my research and English courses. 【1】How many courses did Amanda have? A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five. 【2】When did Amanda study maths according to the example of a typical day? A.Between 10:45 am and 12:00 pm. B.Between 12:30 pm and 3 :30 pm. C.Between 12:00 pm and 2:30 pm. D.Between 3 :30 pm and 7:00 pm. 【3】What did Amanda always do as an online student? A.She wrote down notes by hand. B.She wrote online English books. C.She took classes in the library. D.She took her notes by typing. |

Recently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone, news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey （哈维飓风）on thousands of people caught my eye. I saw many unfortunate events. However, there was also lots of bright news that showed the goodness of mankind. As a reporter, I reported many human-interest stories when doing my job, That’s why the story about the guys in the bakery（面包店）caught my eye. When the workers at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, the four workers decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for people around the neighborhood. They talked to their manager about their plan over the phone and the manager agreed. The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour（面粉）to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the manager managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that they took the loaves to lots of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods. The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent, “They've done more than they should have done. And what they had done has lit a light for people. I feel lucky to have them work in the bakery.” Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should feel forlorn. Instead, we should stay hopeful and take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference to the people in the world as well as the world itself. 【1】Why did the story in the bakery draw the author’s attention? A.It was helpful in choosing a good job. B.It made him/her interested in baking. C.It could bring him/her much money. D.It showed the goodness of mankind. 【2】What did the guys in the bakery do in the disaster? A.They tried to get people out of water. B.They set up emergency centers to help. C.They offered to make bread for people. D.They let homeless people live in the bakery. 【3】What does Brian Alvarado think of the four workers? A.He found them lucky. B.He was proud of them. C.They were experienced. D.They were shy but brave. 【4】What does the underlined word “forlorn” in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Hopeless. B.Confident. C.Serious. D.Angry. |

Japanese businessman Katsuo Inoue chose Italy for his summer vacation this year. He enjoyed the views of Florence and Rome-without ever leaving Japan. Inoue and his wife “flew” to Italy on First Airlines, a company known for entertainment （娱乐），not transportation. The Tokyo-based new company entered the fast growing online tourism early this year as many countries have stopped accepting foreign tourists. “I often go to other countries on business, but I haven't been to Italy,” Inoue said. "My impression was really good because I got a sense of actually seeing things there. First Airlines even gave us life jackets and oxygen masks（氧气罩）！” The “passengers” on First Airlines sit in the first — or business-class areas of an airplane model. Workers serve meals and drinks as large screens show passing clouds and other views outside the airplane. The “travelers“ then receive glasses that provide virtual reality（虚拟现实 的）tours of places like Paris, New York, Hawaii and Rome. The country's biggest airline, ANA Holdings, said that the numbers of passengers flying to foreign countries fell by 96 percent since June when Japan has stopped most travel in and out of the country. The International Air Transport Association （lAIA ） and The International Tourism Association （ITA） said last month that international travels wouldn't be able to recover until 2024. But they said the online travels have been growing very fast. The president, Hiroaki Abe, said, “Since we started our online tour this year, our business has been increasing by 50 percent each month. Most of our customers usually travel to other countries every year and they can now experience some of that here when they are unable to go to the real attractions.” 【1】What can we learn about First Airlines? A.It provides transportation to tourists. B.It is an Italy-based company. C.It has been in business for many years. D.It is a new online tourism company. 【2】What does Katsuo Inoue think of his tour? A.It is very cool. B.It is boring. C.It is dangerous. D.It is frightening. 【3】Why has online tourism been growing very fast this year? A.Customers can have more choices. B.It is able to provide much better services. C.It is much cheaper than the traditional travels. D.People cannot actually travel around this year. 【4】What does the underlined word "we” in the last paragraph refer to? A.IATA. B.ITA. C.First Airlines. D.ANA Holdings. |

What you do after studying could have a big effect on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep. When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied. The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games. While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning—what is called “wakeful rest”. A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest. If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy! Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS) notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well”. It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information.” The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less. Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That’s it—a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn. 【1】What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The importance of sleep. B.The good ways to get a rest. C.The reason for having a rest. D.The types of resting activities. 【2】Which activity might be recommended shortly after studying? A.Reading a newspaper. B.Playing a video game. C.Sitting there doing nothing. D.Having a nice sleep at night. 【3】How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF? A.Less than 7 hours. B.Just 7 hours. C.No more than 9 hours. D.Around 9 hours. 【4】What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Low-cost Tips on Working B.Good Things to Do After Your Study C.Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep? D.How Long Should We Rest After Learning? |

Nowadays, more and more people choose to learn a new language. 【1】 However, by following certain tips, you can be fluent in the language you learn. Listen to the language. No matter it is through movies or television shows, through audio language courses or music, listening to the language can help you remember the words you’re trying to learn. Just listening won’t help, though. 【2】 Read in your chosen language. Start off with simpler books. Children’s books are a great place to start. Since you are just starting out, you will want to start somewhere easy. 【3】Challenge yourself to read without a dictionary and let yourself puzzle the meanings out by yourself. 【4】 If you don’t speak the language, you are unlikely to learn it well and keep it in your memory. There are programs that link people learning a language and native speakers via Skype. If you can’t do that, look around your city or town. Chances are that someone will be able to direct you to a native speaker who can help you practice. A language school with foreign teachers is a good place to start. Practice as much as you can. Try to speak the language in public. 【5】 Also, don’t be ashamed to allow other people to correct you if you pronounce something wrong. No one is perfect. Welcome useful advice. Test your knowledge whenever you’ve got a chance. A.Speak with native speakers. B.Practicing speaking it on your own. C.It’s not hard to learn a foreign language. D.Sure, there’s no easy way to learn it well. E.It will be helpful in improving your mastery. F.As you get better, move on to more difficult ones. G.You need to repeat the words and speak them out. |
