   In many high schools,there are strict rules about using mobile phones. If your phone rings in class,for example,the teacher will be very angry.
   Every mobile phone has a ringtone (铃声). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now,there is a ringtone called “mosquitotone (蚊子铃声)”. Using it,students can receive calls and text messages (短信) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening. How?
   Mosquitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older,we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (频率). As a result,a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but it's_inaudible_to someone 20 or older.
   But sometimes,people over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British student's phone uses mosquitotone. In class,the student's phone rang. The 32­year­old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. “I heard that. You know the rule:no mobile phone in class.”
   Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones,a high school student of 17,says,“Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure,but not in class. It's unfair to the teachers!”
   What do parents think of mosquitotone?“I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters,” says Connie Neeson,44.“Think about it. Yon're watching a film and someone's mobile phone rings. Mosquitotone is good because many people don't hear it. However,it also has a bad influence on their study if students use it in class.”

  1. (1) Mosquitotone works because ________.

    A . it is very loud B . it has no sound C . it has a beautiful sound D . it uses high frequencies
  2. (2) The under lined part “its_inaudible_to” means “________”.

    A . it can’t be seen by B . it can’t be heard by C . it isn’t popular with D . it isn’t healthy for
  3. (3) The 32­year­old teacher felt unhappy because the student ________.

    A . was late for class B . didn’t do his homework C . couldn’t answer her question D . was using a mobile phone in class
  4. (4) Connie Neeson thinks that mosquitotone ________.

    A . has no bad influence B . is unfair to the teachers C . has its advantage and disadvantage D . can’t be used in any public place
       School education is very important and useful. The students both learn knowledge and get educated. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. Scientists, such as Edison, Newton, Galileo and Einstein, didn't learn everything from school. They learnt a lot of knowledge outside school or practiced a lot themselves. A teacher, though he knows a lot, can't teach his students everything.
  The teacher's job is to teach his students how to learn, how to read and how to think. A good teacher with rich experience in teaching can teach his students the methods (="ways)" of study. Through these methods students are able to learn and get a lot of things by themselves.
        Usually it's very easy for students to memorize some knowledge, but it is difficult to use it to solve problems. If a teacher really teaches students the ability(能力) of how to use knowledge, it means the teacher has learned lots of knowledge by himself(or herself). The success in learning shows he or she knows how how how to study.

       Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In   1  words, we don't educate children only for the purpose of   2   them. Our purpose is to fit them for future. In some modern countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all— 3   stupid or clever, poor or rich one can solve all the   4   of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that   5   education for all is not enough. We find in some countries a far   6  number of people with university degrees refuse to do what they think “low” work, and in fact, work   7 is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But if we think only for a moment, we can understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than   8   of a professor. We can live   9  education, but we will die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the   10   away from our houses, we should get terrible   11   in our towns.

       12 , when we say that all of us must   13  to fit us for life, it means that we must have educated in such a way: Firstly , each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability, and secondly, we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society and that it is very bad to be ashamed 14  one's work.  15 such a type of education can be thought valuable to society.

    It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But not all the people agree with this idea.

    Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education in order to make more money in the future. This was probably one of the earliest purposes of education. In fact, if education is just a way to make a living, people don't need to spend so much time in school. They can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. And people don't have to learn maths and languages so carefully. So it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

    So what is education for? Education is well—rounded and it should improve a man in many ways. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative* thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all, take an interest in the world.

    I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the only reason.

  1. (1) People with better education usually           .
    A . have fewer chance to choose a good job B . have more chances to get a good job C . make less money than others D . spend the best years making money
  2. (2) The earliest education was probably to           .
    A . teach a man to think creatively B . teach people to read good books C . improve a man in many ways D . help people make more money
  3. (3) What does the underlined word “well—rounded” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?
    A . 圆满的 B . 崭新的 C . 全面的 D . 公平的
  4. (4) It is expected that educated people will be able to            .
    A . write good books by themselves B . learn all the subjects very well C . take an interest in the world D . lead a richer life than others
  5. (5) The passage mainly tells us that             .
    A . making a living is not the only purpose of education. B . people can get education in a short time. C . people should study hard to get better paying jobs. D . all subjects are very important for a way of living.

    To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

    Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class: He stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.

    The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.

    A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.

    I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.

  1. (1) What is the text about ?
    A . How to become a good teacher. B . What a good teacher should do outside the classroom. C . What teachers and actors could learn from each other. D . The similarities(相似处) and differences between a teacher's work and an actor's.
  2. (2) The word "audience" in the fourth paragraph means ____.
    A . students B . people who watch a play C . people who not on the stage D . people who listen to something
  3. (3) A good teacher ____.
    A . knows how to hold the interest of his students B . must have a good voice C . knows how to act on the stage D . stands or sits still while teaching
  4. (4) In what way is a teacher's work different from an actor's ?
    A . The teacher must learn everything by heart. B . He knows how to control his voice better than an actor. C . He has to deal with unexpected situations. D . He has to use more facial expressions.
  5. (5) The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that ____.
    A . students can move around in the classroom B . students must keep silent while theatre audience needn't C . no memory work is needed for the students D . the students must take part in their teachers' plays

    A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average, and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.

    What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers' attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were top students, they expected more from them. And so these five average students became to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.

    Do you know? If you expect the best from people, they'll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, "Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you'll make him even worse. But treat a person like he's already a success, and you'll help make him the best he can be. "

    Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, "Johnny, you're the naughtiest boy in this class. I'm sure you'll never change. " The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she met with Johnny after school and said, "Johnny, I've heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don't believe a word of it. " And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader, because that's the power of our belief and attitude towards children.

  1. (1) The professor started his research by________.
    A . telling the five students to work harder than ever before B . teaching the five children himself C . telling the teachers that the five students were the best in the class D . asking the five children to find a new teacher
  2. (2) Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny?
    A . To show the importance of encouragement B . To show that the boy was clever enough C . To let us know the famous boy D . To let us know how good his new teacher was
  3. (3) According to the story, we can learn that ________.
    A . the research began at the end of the school year B . the students scored highest only because they worked hard C . if you expect the most from people, you'll get the least D . little Johnny liked his new teacher very much
  4. (4) What does the passage mainly tell us?
    A . If you want to get more, you should have new teachers B . Attitude and belief can change a person C . A professor's study can help you score highest D . Only teachers can make you a top student

Some parents think childhood is just for playing, so they don't ask their children to do housework.

Other parents say, "I know it's wrong, but it's quicker to do it by myself" But most parents believe that housework is a way of teaching kids responsibility(责任).

阅读你们班同学的项目化学习(Project-based learning)汇报展示文稿,完成所给信息记录表。没空不得超过三个词。

Tony: Hello, everyone. I am Tony, the group leader. These are my group members, Betty, Darning and Ogling. As we know, Jinhua is a beautiful with a long history. But you may not know the two longest corridor bridges (廊桥) in China are here. They are Xijin Bridge and Shuxi Bridge. So we chose these two bridges as our project target(项目任务). Here is our presentation.

Betty: I'll introduce the process. First we made a plan about the time we would need and how to do the project. It took us three weekends to do online searching, visit the bridges, interview the local people and make the leaflet.

Darning: After collecting all the information and doing the necessary study, we have made them into a leaflet as our product. Let's take a look.

The two bridges are made of wood. They are called sister bridges because they look really similar. Xijin Bridge, the longest bridge, is in Yongkang and the second longest is in Wuyi called Shuxi Bridge.

Lingling: What we'd like to share with you most is our gains and feelings. We are all amazed by the wisdom(智慧) of the ancient bridge builders and feel so proud of our hometown.

Tony: Now, what do you think of our project? Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. Thank you.

①When it comes to Chinese students considering studying in foreign countries, many of them usually believe that life will be easy and enjoyable. Unfortunately, it's likely that students with those beliefs will be disappointed very soon after landing at the airport.

②So, what are the problems you may have, and how can you deal with them?

③Teaching and learning styles in America are very different from those in China, requiring more critical thinking(批判性思维) and teamwork. In a normal Americans classroom, one project might be done by a study group in which every person has their own responsibility.

④So don't worry about your language or any grammar mistakes. Just watch what other students do, and don't be afraid to ask any questions. The discussions, or sometimes even arguments, that your group members and you hold are likely to be the beginning of a friendship.

⑤Besides schoolwork, another important thing faced by overseas students is homesickness  or loneliness. You may miss your parents' cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. Being away from home can create bitter feelings, especially when faced with the challenges of getting used to  a new environment.

⑥What I strongly suggest is to try hard to deal with these feelings. Be open to new friendships. Sign up for school activities, and give yourself permission to enjoy life at school, even if you miss home a lot. Be organized and keep a diary to check your progress. Write down three new things that you're grateful for every evening, as well as three things you're looking forward to every morning.

⑦Studying aboard is never simple. In fact, there will be many difficulties every day. But I'm sure you will overcome your difficulties and make your time overseas a success.
