A good student is always equated to one who gets good grades. But is that all that a good student is? What is a   1 good student? Is he someone who is the teacher's pet? Someone who tops every test?

A good student has great   6 skills. He has the ability to plan and organize not only his actions but his  7 as well, for being well organized allows a person to be prepared for all the situations that are to   8 . That could not have been   9 if he had taken up the studies at the last minute.

As the father of a student, I have experienced first hand what a great teacher is. My son was in the 4th grade last year, and he had a teacher called Miss Green. I believe that when he is an adult he will surely look back on her as the best teacher he has ever had.
My son has attention deficit disorder(注意力缺損癥) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn. She was able to change her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result, he got straight As on many subjects. She regarded her class as a family and they even had their own class song. She would often have them sing it to encourage them and develop a team spirit for them. When she saw that they were no longer listening carefully to what she was teaching, she would have them close their textbooks, stand up all around the room and throw around a small football. This helped them clear their minds and then focus on the lesson again. Besides, she was quick to reply to any phone calls or emails from us and got rid of our worries about children quickly.
When my son went to the 5th grade this year, we happened to pass her classroom. When she saw my son, her face lit up(露出喜色) and she came out and hugged him. She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows. I can only pray(祈禱) that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years.

When you think of all the ways your body can get hurt---falling off a bike, stepping on a nail, being bitten by a crazed dog---the aches and pains that come from sitting at a computer may not seem like much.
But more doctors are getting worried about just that. If you sit at a PC the wrong way, the nerves and muscles in your back, neck and arms can get out of line.
Ergonomics is the study of how people work and how jobs and equipment can be designed so that people are safer and more comfortable in the things they do---whether that’s working on a factory assembly line or sitting in front of a computer.
The monitor
You should not have to tilt（傾斜） your neck up or down to lock at the screen. Your eyes should be level with the top of the screen.
How far away should you sit? Reach your arm out so your fingertips just touch the screen.
The keyboard
It should be directly in front of you. Don’t unfold the legs on the bottom of the keyboard so that it tilts up toward you---it should be as flat as possible, or even tilted away from you. You want your wrists “neutral,” which means straight, not bent. This puts less strain on your nerves and muscles.
Arms should be close to the body. Don’t look at your fingers as you type. Use a document holder to hold papers at the same level as the monitor. Keep the mouse on the same level as the keyboard and close by--- so you don’t have to reach for it.
The chair
Your feet shouldn’t dangle---the blood will pool in your feet. They should rest flat on the floor, or on phone books, if necessary. Your back needs support. Roll up a towel and stick it there.
The Body
If you think of your body as a collection of right angles when you sit at a computer, you should be just fine.
Your hips should be at a 90-degree angle to your back. That takes the pressure off the spine. And your knees should bend at a 90 degree angle so your feet are flat.
小題1:The passage mainly talks about        .
A．a(chǎn)voiding pains caused by using PCB．the science of ergonomics
C．illness caused by a computerD．how to keep fit
小題2:The underlined word “ergonomics” most probably means ______ in Chinese.  
A．管理學(xué)B．人機工程學(xué)C．機械工程學(xué)D．經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)
小題3:How high should a monitor be placed according to the passage?
A．As high as your arms.
B．A little higher than your eyes.
C．A little lower than your eyes.
D．At the same level as your eyes.
小題4:How shouldn’t a keyboard be placed?
A．Tilting away from you.B．Tilting up toward you.
C．Flat.D．Not mentioned.
小題5:How should you place your foot?
A．Rest them on a phone book.B．Rest them on the floor.
C．They should rest flat.D．They should dangle.

Since the 1990s, education has been required for all South Africans from age seven to fifteen. Last December, the government announced that 70% of students passed their final examination to finish high school. In 2008, the pass rate was about 63%. There have been increases each year since then.
Professor Shireen Motala says basic education is no longer a problem in South Africa. Most children stay in school until they are about sixteen. The problem is that large numbers of them leave without completing high school.
Students take an examination known as the “matric”(高考) in Grade Twelve. Professor Motala says, “Less than half of the children who started school in 2000 sat for the matric last year. Many dropped out of school, so only around 45% took the matric. And the worry is where those students actually go.” Those who drop out have to compete with better educated people for jobs.
Educational researchers also point to another problem. South African schools do not produce enough students with the skills for higher education in maths and science. Many schools are not well-equipped. Children do not see laboratories, and, as a result, their science marks are not very good. They do not have libraries at school. Also, many teachers do not have the skills or training to do their jobs.
In South Africa, a number of teachers were poorly trained before. Secondly, teachers have been confused by the many educational reform efforts in the last fifteen years. Finally, language differences in the classroom have not got as much attention as they should, which is a huge problem. Subjects such as maths and science are taught in English starting at about the age of ten. But South Africa has eleven official languages.
South Africa’s minister of basic education promises a number of improvements. Angie Motshega says teacher development efforts will focus on subject and content knowledge, making sure that the correct teachers are in the correct jobs.
小題1:From the first paragraph we can learn that ______.
A．South Africans are badly in need of education
B．South African teenagers do very well at school
C．the South African government takes education seriously
D．South African teenagers have become more clever
小題2:What is the real concern of Shireen Motala?
A．Something is wrong with the country’s basic education system.
B．Most children have to find a job at an early age.
C．The final exam is too difficult for most children.
D．Most children cannot complete high school until they are 16.
小題3:South African students perform poorly in science for all of the following reasons, EXCEPT ______.
A．they don’t work hard enough
B．their schools do not have laboratories
C．they cannot get help from libraries
D．there are not enough skilled teachers
小題4:With which of the following would Shireen Motala most probably agree?
A．Schools should focus more on maths and science than any other subject.
B．More educational reforms should be carried out in South African schools.
C．The more teachers teach maths and science, the better marks students may get.
D．More attention should be paid to language differences in maths and science classes.

Luo Gaoqi hopes to join the increasing number of Chinese students in the United States because he wants the experience of studying in a foreign land as it will help his future job at home. “I want to try Western education because people there think differently,” said the 21-year-old who is in his final year of undergraduate studies. “I also hope to meet friends from different cultures. The social connections may help in the future.”
The latest report from the US-based institute of International Education said China, for the first time, has become the top country of origin for international students in the United States.
For Yang Fan, a journalism student, said studying in the United States is a way to escape the competition for places in China’s top universities.
“Due to limited education resources, only about 60 percent of high school graduates in China enter college, and a much lower rate enters the top-level ones. “A foreign degree will definitely help when I seek a job in China,” Yang said.
Both Yang’s and Luo’s parents are supportive of them studying abroad. Neither of them is thinking of settling down in the United States after graduation.
“It is not realistic to do so. As a journalism student, there would be no advantage for me to work in the United States,” Yang said. “But in China, with a US degree and good English, I may stand out against other students who have only studied in China.”
China still needs to improve its environment for scientists and high-level talents, said Xiao Mingzheng, director of the Center for Human Resource Development and Management Research of Peking University, adding that, in particular, the country needs to improve its policies relating to research environments.
In June, the Chinese government published a plan concerning talent development for the next 10 years. In it, it has improved policies and increased budgets to attract talented students back home.
小題1:Why does Luo Gaoqi wants to study in a foreign land according to his words?
A．Because the people there are more intelligent.
B．Because the foreign countries are more developed.
C．Because he can make more friends there.
D．Because the culture there is different from that in China.
小題2:What do Guo Gaoqi and Yang Fan have in common?
A．Their major is the same, which is journalism.
B．Both of them want to go back to China after graduation.
C．Their parents are against their decision.
D．They are forced to study in a foreign land by their parents.
小題3:From the passage, we can infer that _______.
A．scientists and high-level talents need a better environment in China
B．the students abroad are unwilling to go back to China
C．China doesn’t need those people to come back to our country at all
D．we all need to go abroad to study and then serve our own country

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare (兔子) and the tortoise (烏龜). At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady (鎮(zhèn)定的), and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”
Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”
I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”
“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”
“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (堅忍不拔的), by pushing on steadily.”
Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”
I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.
小題1:The writer argued (辯論)with his son because ______________.
A．he liked tortoises while his son liked hares
B．they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish
C．he tried to teach his son a moral (品德) lesson but the son had totally different opinion
D．he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t.
小題2:Sonny believed that the tortoise ______________.
A．won the race by his own hard working
B．took a risk (冒險) by agreeing to run a race
C．was not given a fair chance in the race
D．in fact did win the race luckily
小題3:Billy, Tony and Sandy must be_______________.
A．boys who were unknown to Sonny’s father
B．boys who Sonny has run races with before
C．boys who Sonny has never raced with before
D．boys who Sonny did not expect to race with again
小題4:The writer thinks that his generation (一代人) ______________.
A．a(chǎn)re cleverer than Sonny’s generation

Every year, British newspapers report on the stranger questions asked in Oxbridge (Oxford & Cambridge) interviews. Often, though, these questions are not as strange as they first seem. And they are all designed to give applicants (申請者) a chance to think.
Arriving for her first Oxford interview, my sister Jen saw that there was only one chair in the waiting room. On the chair was a large fork. Jen had heard about the strange things in Oxbridge interviews, and believed that this was a test. “What if they’re watching me?” she thought. “If I move the fork, it will show initiative (主動性); if I don’t move it, it will show that I can easily fit into new situations.” In the end, she sat uncomfortably on the edge of the chair!
Applicants must be prepared for the unexpected. Now it was Jen’s turn. She was handed a monkey skull (顱骨) and asked to talk about it. At first, this seemed unfair --- what could she say? But she soon calmed down, started thinking, and found that there was plenty to talk about.
Oxbridge interviews are designed to find out how you think, not just what you think. And there are no wrong answers. Jen learnt that, and she passed the interview. What advice does she give? “ Don’t be nervous, and be prepared for the unexpected!”
小題1:According to British newspapers, questions for Oxbridge applicants are very _____. 
A．unfairB．normalC．easyD．strange
小題2:On her first interview, Jen ____ after she entered the waiting room.
A．moved the forkB．sat down on the fork
C．sat down on the chairD．moved the chair
小題3:Jen learned that it was very important to _____ in order to pass the Oxbridge interviews.
A．make up new situationB．show how one thinks
C．describe what one hearsD．talk about various monkeys
小題4:The writer uses a(n) ____ to introduce how Oxbridge applicants are interviewed.
