My 100 Days Without a Mobile Phone
When was the last time you left home without your mobile phone Can you imagine yourself living a month, or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time
As a busy modern person with lots of social connections, plans and responsibilities, I just cannot afford to not be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However, sometimes it can be bothersome (恼人的).
One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notifications (通知) off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone.
Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment, I had no idea what to get myself distracted (分心的) with, and the worries mixed with boredom kept bothering me.
However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes — changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to reorganize some of my habits.
First of all, I noticed that I became much more focused (专注的). Before, while doing something, I would often find myself wondering what was going on online. After a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I found that the urge (冲动) was already not that strong and that my ability to focus improved.
I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, I would look at it through my camera mostly: take a photo, post it, get some likes. Now, I saw beautiful people walking around and I sensed the seasons change. I could understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares.
Now, as 100 days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible.
34．What made the writer check the phone more often than before
35．When did the writer start noticing his changes
36．What does the writer plan to do with his phone after the experiment
37．Would you like to follow the writer’s example Why or why not (Please give two reasons.)

Working Out through Online Videos
Physical exercise is good for our mind, body and spirit. Today, working out through online videos is becoming very popular. Since the Internet is widely used, it’s very easy for us to do so. That means we can work out anytime anywhere.
One of my friends, Lin Fei. followed short workout videos to do daily exercise. “With live programs, I feel like working out with my friends, which encourages me to hold on to the last minute.” she said. Another friend of mine, Michael, told me that workout videos let him feel so comfortable. “I have a fear of working out at the gym（健身房）because I don’t like being watched by others. Working out at home makes working out much more enjoyable.” he said.
With their examples, I decided to give it a try. When I told my plan to my elder sister, a P.E. teacher, she reminded me that workout videos could be helpful but might still carry some problems.
“Without being with someone in person, you will be less willing （愿意的）to work out to your best. Working out at the gym allows you to have advice in real time and get pushed harder.” my sister said to me. “Well, if you really want to have a try. first, choose proper programs or videos. That’s very important. And then ask your friends for advice. Their experiences can give you a good sight into what you can expect. Anyway, don’t be addicted（沉迷的）to it. You should try different ways to work out to be healthy.”
At her suggestions, I finally followed an online workout program with personalized help that is held for three months. After the first period of training, I felt it very practical and helpful when I put in the right amount （量） of work along with a strong pared with going to the gym, using online videos to work out is a much cheaper and time-saving choice. But it can be difficult sometimes when I’m too lazy or too busy to stick to it.
34．Which way to work out is becoming very popular today

Screen-Free Days
I remember the first time I suggested screen-free days in our school to some of our student leaders. Jokingly, I said to the group, “What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops or smartphones ”
They laughed, and one of them said, “No way, Mr. White. They would be too much.” I could feel their worry, and told them that I was only considering single screen-free days. Even that idea left them feeling upset.
According to a survey we did, most students in our school spend about six hours a day on screens. Many of my students start their day by checking their smartphones. I often see them looking at their phones when getting off the bus or at parents’ drop-off, they can’t use their own “screens” at school. They usually work on computers at school for at least two hours during the day.
It’s clear that our students spend a lot of time on screens. We do see the benefits of technology. However, we teachers also want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens. That’s why we have come up with the idea of screen-free days.
During the course of the year, we have built in several screen-free days that require us to make different plans for our students about how they will communicate with one another and the world around them without “screens”. For some teachers, this means bringing back a valuable lesson plan that has been put off for some time because it is “out of date”. Others have designed something completely new.
Fun activities, for example, card games and room escape(密室逃脱) games, are organized at school. In these activities, students socialize without smartphones and have face-to-face communication without checking on “likes” they’ve got online. These fun activities also make it possible for the whole grade to enjoy the company of their friends with no smartphones.
After our first screen-free day, students mentioned that they were surprised they enjoyed it. Finding ways to help our students connect with one another is important.
While technology is already part of our world, it shouldn’t play such an important role in a learner’s life.
34．How many hours do most students in the school spend on screens every day
35．Why have the teachers come up with the idea of screen-free days
36．What fun activities can the students have at school
37．How did the students feel after the first screen-free day
38．What do you think of the idea of screen-free days Why do you think so

This 12-year-old Girl Built a Robot to Find Plastics in the Ocean
Anna Du was walking along the beach when she noticed plastics there. She reached down to pick them up, and quickly realized there were many more tiny pieces than she could deal with. It seemed impossible to clean them all up.
Du, 12 years old at the time, tried to solve the problem like any good scientist—first, by doing a little research. That’s how she learned that 8 million tons of plastics end up in the oceans every year.
Then she got to work building something that could help solve the problem; a remote-operated vehicle(遥控潜水器), or ROV. Her ROV can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.
The actually cool part of Du’s ROV is the detection(探测) system. She uses a camera along with three different kinds of light to find the plastics. She also uses visible(可见的) light to find unnatural colors that might make the plastics stand out.
“She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this and then go after it,” says engineer Casey Machado. “It sounds simple, but it’s a level of thinking that’s really amazing. ”
Du started attending public events and workshops at a university when she was five years old, and so she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV. She says actually getting her ROV to move through water well was not easy. She failed many times, but she never gave up trying and testing.
When asked about future plans, she mentions wanting to address the effects of climate(气候) change. “I think there are a lot of problems that could be solved with new inventions,” says Du.
Du thanks her parents, who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). She says she has been able to meet students and scientists there.
“I know I want to be an engineer because I like building things to help solve world problems,” says Du. “But I’m not sure what kind of engineer I want to be yet.”
34．What did Anna Du notice while walking along the beach
35．How old was Du when she did a little research to solve the problem
36．What can Du’s ROV do
37．Why does Du want to be an engineer in the future
38．What made Du succeed in building her ROV

Huge Waves Destroying Arctic Ice Faster than Expected
Ice covers much of the Arctic Ocean（北冰洋）. Some pieces of ice are huge, like moving islands. As temperatures have increased, however, some of the ice has begun to disappear. Scientists have discovered huge waves（海浪）in the arctic waters.
The waves were discovered by accident in May, 2010. Scientist Aleksey Marchenko and his students set out on a trip. They wanted to study the icy waters.
On May 2, the ship traveled east and stopped next to a large chunk of ice around 50 miles from the small island of Hopen. Marchenko prepared to lead his students out onto the Ice.
"We were ready to go but when I went out, I discovered many cracks（裂缝）around," he remembers.
He decided to move the ship deeper into the ice to keep safe. The farther in they went, he thought, the harder the ice would become. As they pushed forward, however, the ship experienced small waves, and then bigger ones. Soon, the waves broke up the ice around the ship into thousands of smaller pieces．
Within an hour, Marchenko and his team saw a wave that was about 13 feet high. The ship's navigation（航行）system finally recorded the largest waves. They were more than 20 feet in height. The waves were so strong that they forced huge pieces of ice to jump up and down, breaking the ice into smaller pieces within just one hour. Scientists had never imagined that the process could happen so fast. The waves in these areas used to be small.
The speed and force of the huge waves there makes it impossible to know in advance when they are coming. That could be dangerous for navigators and local communities who are unprepared for huge waves or depend on sea ice to protect them. Wildlife like polar bears and walruses that depend on sea ice to live is also in danger.
Some scientists think people will soon see even bigger waves in these icy waters. As waves break up ice the seas will become more open, and the waves will get even stronger. There are stormy times ahead.
34. When did Marchenko and his students discover huge waves in the arctic waters
35. Why did Marchenko and his students set out on the trip
36. What did Marchenko decide to do to keep safe
37. How high were the largest waves recorded by the navigation system
38. What is Paragraph 7 mainly about

When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework, you might notice that there is no letter E. Have you ever thought about why that is so
In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are typically considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. The fact, some schools have U grade for “unsatisfactory”, or I grade for “incomplete”.
Even with all this said, we should also point out that E grade actually has been
used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US.
The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale:
A: 95-100% (excellent) B: 85-94%(good) C: 76-84%(fair)
D: 75%(barely passed) E: below 75%(failed)
We can see the inclusion of E instead of F.
Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. However, many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F. There is no evidence(证据) to really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”.
Why do we have letter grades Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools. As the 20th century began, growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students.
Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect(反映) student learning. However，as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids, they are familiar(熟悉) and easy for parents to understand. So while they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon.
34. what does an F stand for in the A、B、C、D and F grading system
35. when was the letter grading system first used in the US college
36. what is one possible explanation for dropping the E grade
37. what did most teachers think of the letter grading system in the 20th century
38. why do many parents still prefer the letter grades today

Why Is Tai Ji the Perfect Exercise
While it is easy to tell people to make exercise part of their daily routine, it is not so easy to tell them what to do. Some people like to run or climb mountains, but if you care for your body with less hurt, Tai Ji is the perfect exercise. Its goal is to improve strength and balance.
There are several styles of Tai Ji, but most of them start with a set of controlled movements. There are many good how-to books to get you started, or you can choose from classes offered at health clubs. Either way, you can move at your own pace.
Practitioners praise Tai Ji’s benefits, but what has attracted the attention of Western scientists lately is what Tai Ji does for the body. In many ways, researchers are just catching up to millions of people in China and Chinatowns around the rest of the world, who have already known about Tai Ji. Scientists at the Oregon Research Institute reported that Tai Ji offers the greatest benefit to older people who are healthy but relatively inactive. Studies have shown that practising Tai Ji regularly helps reduce(减少) falls among healthy old people. The next step, from a scientific point of view, is to decide whether Tai Ji can help those who are already weak.
It can take a few months for the effects of Tai Ji to kick in, but when they do they can act as a gateway to a new lifestyle. “Once people start feeling better, they often become more active in their daily life,” says Dr. Karim Khan, a sports scientist at the University of British Columbia.
Any form of exercise, of course, can do only so much. “For older people, Tai Ji will not be the end-all,” says William Haskell, an expert at Stanford University. “But a good way is to practise Tai Ji plus walking. Younger people probably need more challenges, but they can benefit from Tai Ji to reduce stress.”
The best thing about Tai Ji is that people enjoy it, so they can stick with it long enough to get some benefits. It helps when something that’s good for you is also fun.

Earth-helping Heroes
April 22 is Earth Days 54th birthday! The event was created in 1970 to celebrate our planet, draw people’s attention to environmental problems, and encourage them to act. Now, Earth Day is celebrated around the world. We still face many challenges, such as climate change, plastic pollution, and deforestation. But we can all make a difference.
Her Trees Save Lives
Adeline was 12 when her family’s home flooded. She wanted to help. She learned that mangrove trees(红树林) play a key role in flood protection. But the trees were being cut down.
Adeline gathered classmates to plant 200 mangrove trees during a school break. They started a group called Friends of Nature, which works to protect the region’s biodiversity, fight climate change, and teach environmental awareness.
Teens’ Two-Fold Invention
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam(膨胀聚苯乙烯泡沫) is the white, light weight object used to make things like takeout-food containers, foam egg cartons and packing” “peanuts”. It takes up a lot of space and is difficult to recycle. Except crowding landfills, EPS breaks into small pieces as it floats down waterways into oceans, harming wildlife along the way.
Three teenagers in Ohio worked together to invent a way to not only keep it out of landfills but to filter(过滤) water as well. They looked at EPs’s chemical makeup and saw that it was mostly carbon. They did about 50 hours of experiments to turn it into activated carbon(活性炭), a material that can filter water. Finally, they succeeded!
Solar for Her School
When Claire was in seventh grade, she learned about plans to expand and modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school to add solar panels(太阳能板) to the project because she thought clean energy would contribute to a truly modern school.
The school liked the idea but said it could contribute just $25,000—one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and adults. They put on a talent show and other fund-raisers. At last, the group paid for the solar panels.
“One person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big effect on the community,” Claire said. “When there’s a challenge presented to you, use it as a learning moment and an opportunity to overcome it.”

Gardening as part of the school curriculum (课程) began in the United States in the early 1900s and school gardening has become very popular during these years. Parents and teachers say these hands-on lessons can be used to teach many subjects.
Susan Hobart is a school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison. She and her students look after the school’s large garden with 12 raised beds.
“Gardens are a great way to get kids outside with a purpose. With the school gardens, kids can get to see a beginning, a middle and an end to their project. If they just sat at desks, they wouldn’t have this experience.”Hobart said. She added that the gardens helped calm the kids and gave them a different viewpoint about soil and food.
“If we had to buy the seedlings, they’d cost $3 each and we could never afford that, ” Hobart says. “But there are plenty of creative ways to find help. We found seeds and seedlings from local botanical gardens(植物园) and our communities.”Each spring, the school’s children plant seeds and seedlings in the garden. Over the summer, teachers and young children take care of the garden together.
Hobart says that gardens do not have to take up a large area outdoors. For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be the answer.
In the school garden, teachers can teach students how to grow food and flowers. They can also teach science, social studies and even art there. “Giving kids the opportunity to move outside, get their hands dirty, and find worms, especially if their teachers are excited about it—that’s important,” Hobart said.
Finley, their headmaster, supports teaching city kids about seeds and growing. He aims to “change the culture around food”. He remembered how amazing it was for his students to see “a seed becomes food”.
“Having a garden in a school is just as important as any other education,”Finley says. “The act of gardening teaches you where our food source comes from and teaches you to have a feeling of great respect for soil. If kids have a reverence(尊敬) for soil, they have a reverence for themselves and respect for this planet … Gardening is not a hobby, it’s a life skill. I see this as one of the most valuable lessons of humanity.”

No artist required
One day, Ammaar Reshi was playing around with a chatbot called ChatGPT, a computer program using artificial intelligence (AI) to copy the way human beings think and write. Reshi then came up with an idea to use the AI program to make a children’s book. The story of the book came from a conversation Reshi had with the chatbot, about a girl called Alice. And then he used another AI program, Midjourney, to make illustrations(插图)for the book. Midjourney is a new AI-powered tool that can turn words into amazing artwork, like pictures.
The book, Alice and Sparkle, was done in just a couple of days. “Anyone can use these AI tools,”Reshi said. “And they’re not hard to use.”
Reshi posted about the book online after it was finished. Heated argument about it started at once. Some people liked the lovely story as well as the beautiful illustrations and praised Reshi for his smartness. But not everyone welcomed the birth of the special book. Among them, artists were especially critical of it. They think the way the illustrations were made was a big problem. Midjourney searches through millions of pictures created by artists on the Internet. And then it manages to find patterns (式样) in those pictures and create new ones based on the patterns. Artists often upload their work online for people to enjoy. But Midjourney could be using their work without permission (允许).
“The main problem to me about AI is that it was taken from artists’ work,” illustrator Adriane Tsai says. “It’s our creations, our personal styles that we did not permit them to use. ”
Many artists and writers are nervous about the future. Will people pay for their work if it can be done cheaper by using AI programs
Some companies are already choosing AI over human talent. The San Francisco Ballet used pictures made with Midjourney to improve its production of the classic The Nutcracker. At a funny performance club, an AI-powered robot told jokes that made people laugh out loud. Journalist Abraham Riesman said, “It’s deeply troubling to see people looking for cheap alternatives(替代品) to actual human writing. ”
Reshi says technology companies should protect artists and writers whose work might be used by AI tools. He suggests that they should involve artists and writers in the process of creation.

World Book Day
World Book Day was created in 1995 by UNESCO: the organization who are responsible for making sure that everyone in the world gets a chance to learn. It is a yearly event which encourages reading for pleasure and aims to give every child the chance to own a book of their own.
What Happens on World Book Day
On World Book Day, many children take part in exciting activities in school, such as dressing up as their favourite characters, learning about authors and taking part in fun reading challenges. These activities are aimed at encouraging children’s love of books and reading. Many libraries, authors, publishers and booksellers also take part in World Book Day.
Why Is Reading Important
It is important that children enjoy reading. Reading for pleasure can help children to achieve well at school by improving their comprehension skills and their vocabulary. When children read a variety of texts, they also improve their general knowledge and problem-solving skills. Reading can also help with friendship skills by allowing children to better understand other people’s thoughts and feelings.
How Can I Choose the Correct Book
It can sometimes be difficult to find a book that interests you. Here are some top tips to help you to select your next read.
Have a quick flick through the book. You will be able to see the size of the text and whether it contains any illustrations, pictures or diagrams that interest you. Then, read the blurb (简介) on the back cover of a book. This description will give you more of an idea about what the book is about.
You could try reading a nonfiction text about something or someone that interests you. This could be a fact book, a biography or a magazine. Why not try reading a book which is based on a film that you have seen
Borrowing books costs nothing for children and librarians can often provide some helpful advice and offer suggestions.
Why not ask your friends if they have read any good books that they might recommend They should know you well so they will be able to offer some useful advice or give a summary of a book they may have read recently.
It is often easier to stick to what we know we like. However, we may find a book or author that we love if we try something different.
It can sometimes take a few chapters to become hooked on a story and its characters.

Learning a Foreign Language
There are many aspects (方面) to language learning, such as how words are said, which words are chosen and what forms of words are used. All of these aspects together can make learning a foreign language difficult. But some advice might make learning a new language easier and more fun.
Don’t worry too much about pronouncing words the wrong way.
Pronunciation is important, of course. It helps listeners to understand what someone says more clearly. But the most important step in learning a new language is to practice speaking it. As for learning any new skill, practice makes perfect. And most of the time, the native (本地的) speaker is glad to help improve the pronunciation of the words.
Don’t be afraid to guess the meaning of what someone says.
There are tens of thousands of words in English. It is impossible to know all of them. You may use context (上下文) and body language to guess what others say. For example, when a person says “Hola” and waves his hand, one might guess that the person is giving a greeting. Whether it means “Hello” or “Good morning”, it is not necessarily important at that moment to know the exact meaning.
Don’t give up.
Learning a new language or skill always takes time. Many will give up learning because it is too hard or boring. Some may think that other people will make fun of them for making mistakes. But it’s OK to make mistakes. Nobody is perfect, after all. Don’t lose hope and keep trying.
In the end, learning a new language can be difficult, but remember that it can give great advantages. Learning a language doesn’t just mean the ability to speak in that different language. Don’t forget that learning a language can also include making new friends and experiencing new cultures!

My 100 Days Without a Mobile Phone
When was the last time you left home without your mobile phone Can you imagine yourself living a month, or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time
As a busy modern person with lots of social connections, plans and responsibilities, I just cannot afford to not be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However, sometimes it can be bothersome (恼人的).
One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notifications (通知) off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone.
Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment, I had no idea what to get myself distracted (分心的) with, and the worries mixed with boredom kept bothering me.
However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes — changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to reorganize some of my habits.
First of all, I noticed that I became much more focused (专注的). Before, while doing something, I would often find myself wondering what was going on online. After a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I found that the urge (冲动) was already not that strong and that my ability to focus improved.
I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, I would look at it through my camera mostly: take a photo, post it, get some likes. Now, I saw beautiful people walking around and I sensed the seasons change. I could understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares.
Now, as 100 days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible.
34．What made the writer check the phone more often than before
35．When did the writer start noticing his changes
36．What does the writer plan to do with his phone after the experiment
37．Would you like to follow the writer’s example Why or why not (Please give two reasons.)
【答案】34．The fear of missing out something important. 35．After three weeks. 36．Stay away from the phone for as long as possible. 37．Yes, I’d like to. Because I also want to be more focused, and I would like to see the beautiful world through my eyes./No. Because I can use the phone to know more news about the world. And I can play games in my free time.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者100天不使用手机的经历，一开始不使用手机会让人很焦虑，但是三周后发生了很多可喜的变化，作者注意力更集中，可以更好地发现这个世界的美。

Working Out through Online Videos
Physical exercise is good for our mind, body and spirit. Today, working out through online videos is becoming very popular. Since the Internet is widely used, it’s very easy for us to do so. That means we can work out anytime anywhere.
One of my friends, Lin Fei. followed short workout videos to do daily exercise. “With live programs, I feel like working out with my friends, which encourages me to hold on to the last minute.” she said. Another friend of mine, Michael, told me that workout videos let him feel so comfortable. “I have a fear of working out at the gym（健身房）because I don’t like being watched by others. Working out at home makes working out much more enjoyable.” he said.
With their examples, I decided to give it a try. When I told my plan to my elder sister, a P.E. teacher, she reminded me that workout videos could be helpful but might still carry some problems.
“Without being with someone in person, you will be less willing （愿意的）to work out to your best. Working out at the gym allows you to have advice in real time and get pushed harder.” my sister said to me. “Well, if you really want to have a try. first, choose proper programs or videos. That’s very important. And then ask your friends for advice. Their experiences can give you a good sight into what you can expect. Anyway, don’t be addicted（沉迷的）to it. You should try different ways to work out to be healthy.”
At her suggestions, I finally followed an online workout program with personalized help that is held for three months. After the first period of training, I felt it very practical and helpful when I put in the right amount （量） of work along with a strong pared with going to the gym, using online videos to work out is a much cheaper and time-saving choice. But it can be difficult sometimes when I’m too lazy or too busy to stick to it.

Screen-Free Days
I remember the first time I suggested screen-free days in our school to some of our student leaders. Jokingly, I said to the group, “What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops or smartphones ”
They laughed, and one of them said, “No way, Mr. White. They would be too much.” I could feel their worry, and told them that I was only considering single screen-free days. Even that idea left them feeling upset.
According to a survey we did, most students in our school spend about six hours a day on screens. Many of my students start their day by checking their smartphones. I often see them looking at their phones when getting off the bus or at parents’ drop-off, they can’t use their own “screens” at school. They usually work on computers at school for at least two hours during the day.
It’s clear that our students spend a lot of time on screens. We do see the benefits of technology. However, we teachers also want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens. That’s why we have come up with the idea of screen-free days.
During the course of the year, we have built in several screen-free days that require us to make different plans for our students about how they will communicate with one another and the world around them without “screens”. For some teachers, this means bringing back a valuable lesson plan that has been put off for some time because it is “out of date”. Others have designed something completely new.
Fun activities, for example, card games and room escape(密室逃脱) games, are organized at school. In these activities, students socialize without smartphones and have face-to-face communication without checking on “likes” they’ve got online. These fun activities also make it possible for the whole grade to enjoy the company of their friends with no smartphones.
After our first screen-free day, students mentioned that they were surprised they enjoyed it. Finding ways to help our students connect with one another is important.
While technology is already part of our world, it shouldn’t play such an important role in a learner’s life.
34．How many hours do most students in the school spend on screens every day
35．Why have the teachers come up with the idea of screen-free days
36．What fun activities can the students have at school
37．How did the students feel after the first screen-free day
38．What do you think of the idea of screen-free days Why do you think so
【答案】
34．They spend about six hours on screens every day.
35．Because they want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens.

This 12-year-old Girl Built a Robot to Find Plastics in the Ocean
Anna Du was walking along the beach when she noticed plastics there. She reached down to pick them up, and quickly realized there were many more tiny pieces than she could deal with. It seemed impossible to clean them all up.
Du, 12 years old at the time, tried to solve the problem like any good scientist—first, by doing a little research. That’s how she learned that 8 million tons of plastics end up in the oceans every year.
Then she got to work building something that could help solve the problem; a remote-operated vehicle(遥控潜水器), or ROV. Her ROV can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.
The actually cool part of Du’s ROV is the detection(探测) system. She uses a camera along with three different kinds of light to find the plastics. She also uses visible(可见的) light to find unnatural colors that might make the plastics stand out.
“She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this and then go after it,” says engineer Casey Machado. “It sounds simple, but it’s a level of thinking that’s really amazing. ”
Du started attending public events and workshops at a university when she was five years old, and so she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV. She says actually getting her ROV to move through water well was not easy. She failed many times, but she never gave up trying and testing.
When asked about future plans, she mentions wanting to address the effects of climate(气候) change. “I think there are a lot of problems that could be solved with new inventions,” says Du.
Du thanks her parents, who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). She says she has been able to meet students and scientists there.
“I know I want to be an engineer because I like building things to help solve world problems,” says Du. “But I’m not sure what kind of engineer I want to be yet.”
34．What did Anna Du notice while walking along the beach
35．How old was Du when she did a little research to solve the problem
36．What can Du’s ROV do
37．Why does Du want to be an engineer in the future
38．What made Du succeed in building her ROV
【答案】
34．She noticed plastics.
35．At the age of 12. / When she was 12 years old.

Huge Waves Destroying Arctic Ice Faster than Expected
Ice covers much of the Arctic Ocean（北冰洋）. Some pieces of ice are huge, like moving islands. As temperatures have increased, however, some of the ice has begun to disappear. Scientists have discovered huge waves（海浪）in the arctic waters.
The waves were discovered by accident in May, 2010. Scientist Aleksey Marchenko and his students set out on a trip. They wanted to study the icy waters.
On May 2, the ship traveled east and stopped next to a large chunk of ice around 50 miles from the small island of Hopen. Marchenko prepared to lead his students out onto the Ice.
"We were ready to go but when I went out, I discovered many cracks（裂缝）around," he remembers.
He decided to move the ship deeper into the ice to keep safe. The farther in they went, he thought, the harder the ice would become. As they pushed forward, however, the ship experienced small waves, and then bigger ones. Soon, the waves broke up the ice around the ship into thousands of smaller pieces．
Within an hour, Marchenko and his team saw a wave that was about 13 feet high. The ship's navigation（航行）system finally recorded the largest waves. They were more than 20 feet in height. The waves were so strong that they forced huge pieces of ice to jump up and down, breaking the ice into smaller pieces within just one hour. Scientists had never imagined that the process could happen so fast. The waves in these areas used to be small.
The speed and force of the huge waves there makes it impossible to know in advance when they are coming. That could be dangerous for navigators and local communities who are unprepared for huge waves or depend on sea ice to protect them. Wildlife like polar bears and walruses that depend on sea ice to live is also in danger.
Some scientists think people will soon see even bigger waves in these icy waters. As waves break up ice the seas will become more open, and the waves will get even stronger. There are stormy times ahead.
34. When did Marchenko and his students discover huge waves in the arctic waters
35. Why did Marchenko and his students set out on the trip

When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework, you might notice that there is no letter E. Have you ever thought about why that is so
In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are typically considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. The fact, some schools have U grade for “unsatisfactory”, or I grade for “incomplete”.
Even with all this said, we should also point out that E grade actually has been
used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US.
The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale:
A: 95-100% (excellent) B: 85-94%(good) C: 76-84%(fair)
D: 75%(barely passed) E: below 75%(failed)
We can see the inclusion of E instead of F.
Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. However, many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F. There is no evidence(证据) to really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”.
Why do we have letter grades Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools. As the 20th century began, growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students.
Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect(反映) student learning. However，as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids, they are familiar(熟悉) and easy for parents to understand. So while they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon.
34. what does an F stand for in the A、B、C、D and F grading system
35. when was the letter grading system first used in the US college
36. what is one possible explanation for dropping the E grade
37. what did most teachers think of the letter grading system in the 20th century
38. why do many parents still prefer the letter grades today
34.
【答案】 It stands for “fail”
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段句子 In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are typically considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. 在A、B、C、D和F评分系统中，前四个字母通常被认为是及格分数。这个系统中的F仅仅表示"失败"。可知F表示“失败”。故答案为An F in this system stands for “fail”.
35.
【答案】 In 1897
【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段句子The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale. 美国第一个使用字母评分系统的大学是Mount Holyoke College. 1897年，他们开始使用以下等级量表。可知在1897年。故答案为In 1897年。
36.
【答案】Teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”
【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段句子 However, really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”. 然而，许多学校决定放弃E级，直接进入F。真的没有证据支持这一点，但一个可能的解释是，老师担心一些学生和家长可能误认为E为“优秀”。可知老师担心一些学生和家长可能误认为E为“优秀”。故答案为Teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”.
37.
【答案】They thought this new letter grading system was an easy fair and clear way to grade students
【解析】.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段句子Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students. 当时的大多数老师认为这种新的字母评分系统是一种简单、公平、清晰的给学生打分的方式。可知当时的大多数老师认为这种新的字母评分系统是一种简单、公平、清晰的给学生打分的方式。故答案为Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy，fair and clear way to grade students.

【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段句子However, as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids, they are familiar（熟悉）and easy for parents to understand. So while they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren't going away any time soon. 然而，当教师试图改进评分方法时，许多家长仍然喜欢孩子们得到的字母等级，他们对父母来说很熟悉，也很容易理解。因此，尽管他们可能不是完美的，但字母等级不会很快就消失。可知它们是父母所熟悉和容易理解的。故答案为They are familiar and easy for parents to understand.

Why Is Tai Ji the Perfect Exercise
While it is easy to tell people to make exercise part of their daily routine, it is not so easy to tell them what to do. Some people like to run or climb mountains, but if you care for your body with less hurt, Tai Ji is the perfect exercise. Its goal is to improve strength and balance.
There are several styles of Tai Ji, but most of them start with a set of controlled movements. There are many good how-to books to get you started, or you can choose from classes offered at health clubs. Either way, you can move at your own pace.
Practitioners praise Tai Ji’s benefits, but what has attracted the attention of Western scientists lately is what Tai Ji does for the body. In many ways, researchers are just catching up to millions of people in China and Chinatowns around the rest of the world, who have already known about Tai Ji. Scientists at the Oregon Research Institute reported that Tai Ji offers the greatest benefit to older people who are healthy but relatively inactive. Studies have shown that practising Tai Ji regularly helps reduce(减少) falls among healthy old people. The next step, from a scientific point of view, is to decide whether Tai Ji can help those who are already weak.
It can take a few months for the effects of Tai Ji to kick in, but when they do they can act as a gateway to a new lifestyle. “Once people start feeling better, they often become more active in their daily life,” says Dr. Karim Khan, a sports scientist at the University of British Columbia.
Any form of exercise, of course, can do only so much. “For older people, Tai Ji will not be the end-all,” says William Haskell, an expert at Stanford University. “But a good way is to practise Tai Ji plus walking. Younger people probably need more challenges, but they can benefit from Tai Ji to reduce stress.”
The best thing about Tai Ji is that people enjoy it, so they can stick with it long enough to get some benefits. It helps when something that’s good for you is also fun.
34．According to the passage, what’s the goal of practising Tai Ji
________________________________
35．What has attracted the attention of Western scientists lately

Earth-helping Heroes
April 22 is Earth Days 54th birthday! The event was created in 1970 to celebrate our planet, draw people’s attention to environmental problems, and encourage them to act. Now, Earth Day is celebrated around the world. We still face many challenges, such as climate change, plastic pollution, and deforestation. But we can all make a difference.
Her Trees Save Lives
Adeline was 12 when her family’s home flooded. She wanted to help. She learned that mangrove trees(红树林) play a key role in flood protection. But the trees were being cut down.
Adeline gathered classmates to plant 200 mangrove trees during a school break. They started a group called Friends of Nature, which works to protect the region’s biodiversity, fight climate change, and teach environmental awareness.
Teens’ Two-Fold Invention
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam(膨胀聚苯乙烯泡沫) is the white, light weight object used to make things like takeout-food containers, foam egg cartons and packing” “peanuts”. It takes up a lot of space and is difficult to recycle. Except crowding landfills, EPS breaks into small pieces as it floats down waterways into oceans, harming wildlife along the way.
Three teenagers in Ohio worked together to invent a way to not only keep it out of landfills but to filter(过滤) water as well. They looked at EPs’s chemical makeup and saw that it was mostly carbon. They did about 50 hours of experiments to turn it into activated carbon(活性炭), a material that can filter water. Finally, they succeeded!
Solar for Her School
When Claire was in seventh grade, she learned about plans to expand and modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school to add solar panels(太阳能板) to the project because she thought clean energy would contribute to a truly modern school.
The school liked the idea but said it could contribute just $25,000—one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and adults. They put on a talent show and other fund-raisers. At last, the group paid for the solar panels.
“One person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big effect on the community,” Claire said. “When there’s a challenge presented to you, use it as a learning moment and an opportunity to overcome it.”

Gardening as part of the school curriculum (课程) began in the United States in the early 1900s and school gardening has become very popular during these years. Parents and teachers say these hands-on lessons can be used to teach many subjects.
Susan Hobart is a school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison. She and her students look after the school’s large garden with 12 raised beds.
“Gardens are a great way to get kids outside with a purpose. With the school gardens, kids can get to see a beginning, a middle and an end to their project. If they just sat at desks, they wouldn’t have this experience.”Hobart said. She added that the gardens helped calm the kids and gave them a different viewpoint about soil and food.
“If we had to buy the seedlings, they’d cost $3 each and we could never afford that, ” Hobart says. “But there are plenty of creative ways to find help. We found seeds and seedlings from local botanical gardens(植物园) and our communities.”Each spring, the school’s children plant seeds and seedlings in the garden. Over the summer, teachers and young children take care of the garden together.
Hobart says that gardens do not have to take up a large area outdoors. For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be the answer.
In the school garden, teachers can teach students how to grow food and flowers. They can also teach science, social studies and even art there. “Giving kids the opportunity to move outside, get their hands dirty, and find worms, especially if their teachers are excited about it—that’s important,” Hobart said.
Finley, their headmaster, supports teaching city kids about seeds and growing. He aims to “change the culture around food”. He remembered how amazing it was for his students to see “a seed becomes food”.
“Having a garden in a school is just as important as any other education,”Finley says. “The act of gardening teaches you where our food source comes from and teaches you to have a feeling of great respect for soil. If kids have a reverence(尊敬) for soil, they have a reverence for themselves and respect for this planet … Gardening is not a hobby, it’s a life skill. I see this as one of the most valuable lessons of humanity.”

No artist required
One day, Ammaar Reshi was playing around with a chatbot called ChatGPT, a computer program using artificial intelligence (AI) to copy the way human beings think and write. Reshi then came up with an idea to use the AI program to make a children’s book. The story of the book came from a conversation Reshi had with the chatbot, about a girl called Alice. And then he used another AI program, Midjourney, to make illustrations(插图)for the book. Midjourney is a new AI-powered tool that can turn words into amazing artwork, like pictures.
The book, Alice and Sparkle, was done in just a couple of days. “Anyone can use these AI tools,”Reshi said. “And they’re not hard to use.”
Reshi posted about the book online after it was finished. Heated argument about it started at once. Some people liked the lovely story as well as the beautiful illustrations and praised Reshi for his smartness. But not everyone welcomed the birth of the special book. Among them, artists were especially critical of it. They think the way the illustrations were made was a big problem. Midjourney searches through millions of pictures created by artists on the Internet. And then it manages to find patterns (式样) in those pictures and create new ones based on the patterns. Artists often upload their work online for people to enjoy. But Midjourney could be using their work without permission (允许).
“The main problem to me about AI is that it was taken from artists’ work,” illustrator Adriane Tsai says. “It’s our creations, our personal styles that we did not permit them to use. ”
Many artists and writers are nervous about the future. Will people pay for their work if it can be done cheaper by using AI programs
Some companies are already choosing AI over human talent. The San Francisco Ballet used pictures made with Midjourney to improve its production of the classic The Nutcracker. At a funny performance club, an AI-powered robot told jokes that made people laugh out loud. Journalist Abraham Riesman said, “It’s deeply troubling to see people looking for cheap alternatives(替代品) to actual human writing. ”
Reshi says technology companies should protect artists and writers whose work might be used by AI tools. He suggests that they should involve artists and writers in the process of creation.
34．What is Midjourney
________________________________
35．How long did it take the AI programs to create the book Alice and Sparkle
________________________________
36．What is Reshi’s advice to technology companies to protect artists and writers
________________________________
37．Do you think it is a good idea to use AI programs in the process of creation Why or why not (Give at least two reasons)
________________________________
【答案】34．It’s a new AI-powered tool that can turn words into amazing artwork, like pictures. 35．For a couple of days. 36．They should involve artists and writers in the process of creation. 37．Yes, I do. Because AI brings convenience and people can create work quickly.

World Book Day
World Book Day was created in 1995 by UNESCO: the organization who are responsible for making sure that everyone in the world gets a chance to learn. It is a yearly event which encourages reading for pleasure and aims to give every child the chance to own a book of their own.
What Happens on World Book Day
On World Book Day, many children take part in exciting activities in school, such as dressing up as their favourite characters, learning about authors and taking part in fun reading challenges. These activities are aimed at encouraging children’s love of books and reading. Many libraries, authors, publishers and booksellers also take part in World Book Day.
Why Is Reading Important
It is important that children enjoy reading. Reading for pleasure can help children to achieve well at school by improving their comprehension skills and their vocabulary. When children read a variety of texts, they also improve their general knowledge and problem-solving skills. Reading can also help with friendship skills by allowing children to better understand other people’s thoughts and feelings.
How Can I Choose the Correct Book
It can sometimes be difficult to find a book that interests you. Here are some top tips to help you to select your next read.
Have a quick flick through the book. You will be able to see the size of the text and whether it contains any illustrations, pictures or diagrams that interest you. Then, read the blurb (简介) on the back cover of a book. This description will give you more of an idea about what the book is about.
You could try reading a nonfiction text about something or someone that interests you. This could be a fact book, a biography or a magazine. Why not try reading a book which is based on a film that you have seen
Borrowing books costs nothing for children and librarians can often provide some helpful advice and offer suggestions.
Why not ask your friends if they have read any good books that they might recommend They should know you well so they will be able to offer some useful advice or give a summary of a book they may have read recently.
It is often easier to stick to what we know we like. However, we may find a book or author that we love if we try something different.
It can sometimes take a few chapters to become hooked on a story and its characters.

Learning a Foreign Language
There are many aspects (方面) to language learning, such as how words are said, which words are chosen and what forms of words are used. All of these aspects together can make learning a foreign language difficult. But some advice might make learning a new language easier and more fun.
Don’t worry too much about pronouncing words the wrong way.
Pronunciation is important, of course. It helps listeners to understand what someone says more clearly. But the most important step in learning a new language is to practice speaking it. As for learning any new skill, practice makes perfect. And most of the time, the native (本地的) speaker is glad to help improve the pronunciation of the words.
Don’t be afraid to guess the meaning of what someone says.
There are tens of thousands of words in English. It is impossible to know all of them. You may use context (上下文) and body language to guess what others say. For example, when a person says “Hola” and waves his hand, one might guess that the person is giving a greeting. Whether it means “Hello” or “Good morning”, it is not necessarily important at that moment to know the exact meaning.
Don’t give up.
Learning a new language or skill always takes time. Many will give up learning because it is too hard or boring. Some may think that other people will make fun of them for making mistakes. But it’s OK to make mistakes. Nobody is perfect, after all. Don’t lose hope and keep trying.
In the end, learning a new language can be difficult, but remember that it can give great advantages. Learning a language doesn’t just mean the ability to speak in that different language. Don’t forget that learning a language can also include making new friends and experiencing new cultures!
