What is a GPA
A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programs.
How to calculate a GPA
● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term;
● Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system;
● Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course;
● Add up all the credit hours for the courses;
● Divide the total number of grade points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA.
Example: Academic Transcript of Jane Smith Winter 2023
Courses Letter Grade Grade points Credit hours Total points GPA
Creative Writing A+ 4.0 3 12 -
Psychology A- 3.7 3 11.1 -
History B+ 3.3 3 9.9 -
Computer Science F 0.0 2 0 -
Total - - 11 33
What are the consequences of failing college courses
● Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year, limiting clubs, organizations and program choices, as competitive programs require top GPAs.
● Most financial aid programs require a specific GPA. A sharp drop in GPA due to several course failures may lead to withdrawal from financial aid programs, unless you retake the courses and pass.
● For college athletes on sports scholarships, failing courses repeatedly can lead to losing scholarships and team spots.
● Failing multiple courses can result in school removal and affect future applications.

“The mountains are calling and I must go” — the famous quote is from John Muir (1838-1914), who is described as “the wilderness poet” and “the citizen of the universe.” He once jokingly referred to himself as a “poet-geologist-botanist and ornithologist (鸟类学家) -naturalist etc. etc.!” He is known as the Father of American National Parks.
Famed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns recently said, “As we got to know him… he was among the highest individuals in America; I’m talking about the level of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Thomas Jefferson — people who have had a transformational effect on who we are.”
So where is the quote from Well, John Muir was a productive writer. Whether he was writing poetry or simply letters to his family, John Muir was always putting pen to paper. The quote is from within one of his many letters written to his sister:
September 3rd, 1873
Yosemite Valley
Dear sister Sarah,
I have just returned from the longest and hardest trip I have ever made in the mountains, having been gone over five weeks. I am weary, but resting fast; sleepy, but sleeping deep and fast; hungry, but eating much. For two weeks I explored the glaciers of the summits east of here, sleeping among the snowy mountains without blankets and with little to eat on account of its being so inaccessible. After my icy experiences it seems strange to be down here in so warm and flowery a climate.
I will soon be off again, determined to use all the season in carrying through my work — will go next to Kings River a hundred miles south, then to Lake Tahoe and surrounding mountains, and in winter work in Oakland with my pen.
Though slow, some day I will have the results of my mountain studies in a form in which you all will be able to read and judge of them. The mountains are calling and I must go, and I will work on while I can, studying incessantly (永不停息地).
I will write again when I return from Kings River Canyon.
Farewell, with love everlasting.
Yours,
John

“Why does grandpa have ear hair " Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know “why” and “how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because “it's not fun to learn.” I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done everything I can to promote a love of learning in my children. Where did 1 go wrong
My child's experience is not unique. Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity---defined as “spontaneous (自发的) investigation and eagerness for new information”---drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.
In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C. Keil details the development of wonder -- a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often occurs, to the trap of life in a society that devalues wonder.
As Keil notes, children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They are sensitive to the others' knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning. Children's questions, particularly those about “why” and “how,” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.
Unfortunately, as Keil notes, “adults greatly underestimate young children's causal mechanisms.” In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children's ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.
A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.
28. What is a common problem among fourth graders
A. They upset their parents too often.
B. They ask too many strange questions.
C. Their love for fun disappears quickly.
D. Their desire to learn declines sharply.
29. What can be inferred about children's causal mechanisms in paragraph 4
A. They control children's sensitivity.
B. They slightly change in early childhood.
C. They hardly support children's reasoning.
D. They develop through children's questioning.
30. How can parents support children's ongoing wonder according to Keil
A. By monitoring their games.
B. By welcoming inquiring minds.
C. By estimating their abilities.
D. By providing reasonable conclusions.
31. What is the text
A. A book review. B. A news report.
C. A research paper. D. A children's story.
D
Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest --- an area about the size of Iceland---because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world's forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it possible to “grow” a wooden product without cutting down trees.
In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the hormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate (使脱水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities.
They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid， helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. What's more, it's to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity!
Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to ‘grow’ any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can't achieve.”
32. Why do researchers at MIT conduct the research
A. To grow more trees. B. To protect plant diversity.
C. To reduce tree losses. D. To predict forest disappearance.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research
A. Its theoretical basis. B. Its key procedures.
C. Its scientific evidence. D. Its usual difficulties.
34. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials
A. The hormone levels affect their rigidity.
B. They are better than naturally grown plants.
C. Their cells' shapes mainly rely on their density.
D. Their growth speed determines their characteristics.
35. Why is the research ground-breaking according to Berenstain
A. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments.
B. It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products.
C. It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry.
D. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth.

Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. 38 .They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork conveys.
39 . Realistic art needs precision in drawing or sculpting to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to demonstrate their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity.
As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world diverse and engaging. 40 .
A. Both types of art take skills to make
B. Photographs preserve faces of folks from long ago

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy,” which meant “dirty,” instead of my real name “Jamie.” Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled (开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shifted their desks away. “What’s your problem ” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess (课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why ” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor (谣言).

At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. I hated the nickname “Germy,” but seeing him isolated was also not what I wanted. Guilt pushed me to him. “What do you want, Germy ” Del asked, his voice sounding more hurt than angry. I sat next to him and gradually uttered the whole thing about how my hasty assumption turned into such a terrible rumor. “I’m sorry. I wish I had never said that,” I apologized, daring not to look into his eyes. Annoyance and surprise flickered across his face. But seconds later, he lowered his head and said quietly, “It’s okay. I guess I wasn’t very nice to you, either.” His words soothed me, but I could feel he was still sad. (112 词)
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I walked towards the kickball players and called for their attention. Everyone stopped in surprise. “Del didn’t beat up anyone,” I stated, explaining what actually happened. Whispers of astonishment spread and finally one player shouted, “Alright, Del, do you want to join my team ” A smile broke through Del’s gloomy face, “Yes, and I want Jamie on it, too!” He glanced at me shyly, and I could tell his use of my real name was his way of making an apology. Soon the playground was filled with laughter and talks. But this time they made me realize something—words have the power to hurt and heal. (106 词)

At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. I walked up to him, so nervous that I could hardly talk. “Hey,” I said. “What do you want, Germy ” Del said impatiently without taking his eyes off the game. I could feel something in his voice sounded more hurt than angry. I summoned up my courage and explained to him the whole story. Surprised and angry, Del looked at me with an unbelievable look. “I will tell everyone the truth,” I promised. Del’s face softened a bit. “Okay, Jamie. I owe you an apology too,” he said with a shrug. It was the first time he’d used my real name. I almost smiled. I knew I had done the right thing. (111 词)
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before recess was over. The game was still going on. I approached the players and asked them to stop for a moment. Everyone, including Del, was surprised. “Guys, I am sorry, but I got something to say.” I admitted that it was I who started the rumor. “Del didn’t beat up anyone,” I said. Upon hearing this, the players were confused for a brief moment but soon figured out what had really happened. “Hey, welcome back,”They waved to Del. Del nodded willingly, with a happy look back to his face. Seeing Del playing the game vigorously, I finally felt relieved that I eventually mended a big mistake. (109 词)
