There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom. But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools. You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school.

What makes a gift special？Is it the price you see on the gift receipt？Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value？What gift is worth the most？ This Christmas I was debating what to give my father．My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything．I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked．The message was from my father．My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming，and underneath a poem by William Blake．The flower，a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky，inspired me．My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid．That may even be the reason why I love writing．I decided that those words would be my gift to my father． I called back．I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift．I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it．As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind．The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe； my dad recited it as much as he did the other．I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it．The poem was focused around dreaming，and after searching I found the perfect picture．The image was painted with blues and greens and purples，twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream．As I watched both poems passing through the printer，the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood．I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate． Christmas soon arrived．The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame，I knew I had given the perfect gift． 1.The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was ______ ． A. doing shopping B. having a debate C. reading a message D. leaving for Wyoming 2.The author's inspiration for the gift came from ______ ． A. a photo of a flower B. a story about a kid C. a call from the mother D. a text about Christmas 3.The author made the gift by ______ ． A. searching for the poems online B. drawing the background by hand C. painting the letters in three colors D. matching the words with pictures
I felt excited, curious and nervous at the same time. I was excited because I would be skipping（跳级）two grades. I was curious because I didn't know how high school students were taught. However, I was most nervous at the idea that I would be doing high school homework. I had just walked into the class when the bell rang. This wasn't a good start. But the kid in front of me looked very friendly. Luckily, since it was the first day of school, my teacher talked for about half of the period and we just had the rest of the period to start the class. I didn't know what he was saying at first, but when I saw the problems on the paper, I knew what to do. The next day, the kid said hi and I said hi back. We got into a conversation. It seemed that whenever I was talking to my friend, everyone stopped staring at me. Then the class started. It was easy. But I was still uncomfortable because I couldn't look around without meeting others' eyes, so I just kept my eyes on the whiteboard and on my textbook. However, my friend didn't show up the next day, and the eighth graders just kept on staring at me. I didn't know why. The next day everything changed. My friend was back to school. I was praised for my homework. Everyone stared at me less. Some started to be a little friendlier towards me. I felt at home at last here. My teachers also seemed pretty nice. 1.If the author didn't skip, he should study in ______ .

When we meet someone for the first time， we usually get an uncertain sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands， talk， or walk． In the age of social networking， however， first impressions are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in person - that is， by looking at their profile photos（头像）． 1. In the study， a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to analyze the profile photos of 66，000 users of US social platform Twitter and 3，200 of their tweets． 2.The researchers wanted to find out if there was a relation between a person's profile photo and personality． According to the results， open people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use objects such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photo because they enjoy new and exciting experiences． Meanwhile， sensitive people often hide their negative emotions．3.Instead， they use an image of something like a pet， a car or a building． That's because sensitive people are strongly influenced by the strong social standard． 4.For example， outgoing people are found to have the most colorful profile images， as they want to emphasize their personality and show themselves off， the researchers wrote． Although social media photos "usually represent oneself， they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality，" according to the researchers．5.After all， first impressions always last． A．They want to show themselves off． B．They try to avoid showing their faces． C．We should make our profile photos available to others． D．Some users were asked to complete a survey about their personality types． E．According to a recent study， these social images say a lot about our personality． F．When choosing a profile photo， we should think about what image we'd like to convey． G．The colors used in profile photos also give us some information about the photo's owner．
So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument，a misunderstanding，the way we were raised，or some other painful event．Stubbornly，we wait for someone else to reach out to us-believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship． A friend of mine，recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years．She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first．When I suggested that she be the one to reach out，she said，"I can't do that．He's the one who should apologize．"After a little gentle encouragement，however，she did decide to be the first one to reach out．To her amazement，her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own．As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out，everyone wins． Whenever we hold on to our anger，we tum"small stuff（问题）"into really"big stuff"in our minds．We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness．They are not．If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy．The way to be happy is to let go，and reach out．Let other people be right．This doesn't mean that you're wrong．Everything will be fine．You'll experience the peace of letting go，as well as the joy of letting others be right． You'll also notice that，as you reach out and let others be"right"，they will become less defensive and more loving toward you．They might even reach back．But，if for some reason they don't，that's okay too．You'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world，and certainly you'll be more peaceful yourself． 1.The underlined word"rekindle"in Paragraph 1 probably means" ______ ． A. recover B. develop C. accept D. replace 2.In the author's opinion，we hold on to our anger often because we think ______ ． A. we can turn small issues into big ones B. our happiness is more important C. our own opinions matter most D. others will be less defensive 3.The best thing to do after a quarrel is to ______ ． A. let go of our own fights B. realize that you are wrong C. expect others to give in D. apologize to others first 4.What would be the best tide for the passage？ ______ A. Be Peaceful B. Reach Out and Give C. Small and Big Stuff D. Enjoy Your Friendship
When Alok and I met in 1984， he was attracted by my passionate love of children， dogs， and poetry． I was drawn to his intelligence and his broad， comforting shoulders． Our marriage was very happy， and our sons， Viraj， an accountant， and Anurag， a lawyer， were warm， loving， and blessed with both a high level of integrity （正直） and a wicked sense of humour． It was as if I had everything I had wished for． When people said， "Life is not perfect，" I used to think， "Oh， but it very nearly is．" But one Saturday night everything became different． Alok and I were about to leave our flat in Delhi for a party when all of a sudden he just passed away． It was a fatal cerebral stroke （脑中风） without warning． I was terrified， but felt I owed it to myself， to Alok， and to the boys to rise above the loss and use the strength our love had given me to go forward． I also had to deal with some pressing problems． Where would I live？ Our home was a company-owned flat， and most of the facilities we'd enjoyed， like the club， medical coverage， and even the phone， came with his job． I made the decision to try and do as much as I could on my own， without asking， or expecting， other people to help me． As a journalist， I had been privileged to share some truly exceptional life stories． I now had to handle my own life story， and accept change with as much courage as I could muster． The journey ahead needed new skills． I finally found the right job， and today I am working in corporate communications． My life now is very different from what it was earlier． I understand that we are all given an inner strength， and that we truly grow up， regardless of age， when we learn to stand alone． 1.What changed everything for the author？ ______ A. The birth of her children． B. Moving to a new home． C. Her happy marriage． D. The sudden death of her husband． 2.We can infer from the passage that ______ ． A.

We should receive necessary support as we age． D. Instead of staying at home， women should work， regardless of age．
Our "Mommy and Me" time began two years ago． My next-door neighbor and fellow mother， Christie， and I were out in our front yards， watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down． "I wish I could take one of my children out alone，" said Christie． Then we worked out a plan： when Christie takes one of her children out， I'll watch her other three． And when she watches two of mine， I'll take someone out． The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of "Mommy and Me" time． Christie's daughter， McKenzie， went first． When she returned， the other children asked her tons of questions． McKenzie was smiling broadly． Christie looked refreshed and happy． "She's like a different child when there's no one else around，" Christie shared with me quickly． With her mother all to herself， McKenzie didn't have to make an effort to gain attention． Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie， I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times． For example， I am always surprised when my daughter， who is seldom close to me， holds my hand frequently． My stuttering（口吃的）son， Tom， doesn't stutter once during our activities since he doesn't have to struggle for a chance to speak． And the other son， Sam， who's always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together． The "Mommy and Me" time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child - talking， sharing， and laughing， which has been the biggest gain． Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while． 1.What is the text mainly about？ ______ A. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time． B. The experience of the only child being with mother． C. The happy life of two families． D. The basic needs of children． 2.Right after McKenzie came back， the other children were ______ ． A. happy B. regretful C. curious D. friendly 3.What is one of the changes the author finds in her children？ ______ A.

With Christmas soon approaching, many young people are buying gifts and making dinner reservations, but Geng Yingying is thinking about a serious subject – death. Geng is a healthy 21-year-old student at Northwest Normal University in Gansu Province. She volunteered to donate（捐赠）her body for medical research and education because she wants to leave something to the world after her death. She first learned about body donation through a volunteer activity in 2016. Not long after that, one of her friends died in an accident. "I realized life is vulnerable（脆弱）and I wanted to make it more meaningful." she said. Geng is one of a growing number of young Chinese who have registered（注册）as voluntary body donors in recent years. The number of registered volunteers for body and organ donations was over 2，610 in Gansu by November 20, compared with just 80 in 2014, according to the statistics released by the local Red Cross Society. In Beijing, more than 21,100 people applied to donate their cadavers（遗体）by the end of 2017since the city started a body donation registry in 1999.So far, over 2,600 donations have been used for medical research and education, according to the Beijing Red Cross Society. Zhan Haibing is a postgraduate student in the School of Public Health at Lanzhou University. He refers to cadavers as "silent teachers." "Silent teachers have played an irreplaceable role in medical education and research. They can give medical students a real understanding of human bodies．" Zhan said. China's body donation program started in the early 1980s. Yuan said the traditional belief， lack of knowledge on donation procedures, and failure to obtain support from families of the donors are three main reasons that have long slowed donations. As the laws and the overall environment for donation continue to improve, and people's attitudes on funeral customs are gradually changing, body donations have become more acceptable. People are showing more respect and understanding to the donors. Meanwhile, many Chinese universities have called on "life education. " They ask their students to participate in volunteer activities in hospitals, funeral parlors, nursing homes and Red Cross societies to better understand the meaning of life. 1.Geng Yingying is referred to as an example ______.
