Teachers can change the world
I got an invitation to take part in an education conference (会议) at a high school. At lunchtime, I saw a young girl who looked familiar. I knew she had been a student of mine. I tried hard to recall her name, but I couldn’t. It really made me sad, as I have always been unable to remember former students.
Her eyes met mine and she threw her arms around and said, “Mrs. G, it’s me, Sarah, and I’m still writing!”
All the memories soon came back to my mind. You see, Sarah was never a student in my classroom. Sarah's mother had left her family and her father was absent (缺席的) from her life as well. She was sent to live with foster parents (养父母) the year I met her. Sarah was angry, often got in trouble and was often in the principal’s office.
It was during one of those office visits that I first met her. She was writing in a notebook with a rather angry look on her face. I introduced myself to her and asked her what she was writing about. Sarah shared her story with me. Her writing spoke to me. It filled my heart and I knew it was good for her to put her thoughts on paper. Every morning at school before I started my classes, she would come into my classroom and would work on her writing skills.
My experience years ago with Sarah taught me that teachers have a great influence upon their students, even when those students are troubled. Taking the time to talk with a child has the power to truly change that child’s life. That’s why I teach.
16. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. The writer felt sad for not remembering the girl’s name. B. The young girl once worked with the writer years ago.
C. The young girl worked for the high school in the past. D. The writer was sad to attend the education conference.
17. Why did Sarah often stay in the principal’s office
A. Because she left her family and had no home. B. Because she felt angry with her teacher.
C. Because she was absent from class. D. Because she often got in trouble.
18. What does the underlined “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Sarah’s experience. B. Sarah’s writing. C. Sarah’s notebook. D. Sarah’s anger.
19. Who helped Sarah with her writing skills
A. The Principle. B. Sarah’s classmates. C. Mrs. G. D. Sarah’s mother.
20. What did the writer learn from the experience with Sarah
A. Teachers should care about every student’s family life. B. Teachers can change children’s life by giving lessons.
C. Teachers are supposed to be friendly to every student. D. Teachers have a great influence on their students.

Pandas are not just a national treasure in China, but beloved around the world.
On March 16， 2022, the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington D. C. , started a six-month celebration. This year is the 50th anniversary of the arrival of two giant pandas.
The first pandas from China—Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing—arrived at the zoo on April 16, fifty year ago. In that year, China and the US set up diplomatic (外交) relations. China gifted the US these two pandas as a gesture of goodwill. Over the past 50 years, eight pandas have lived ar the zoo.
From meals to daily fun, the zoo teams have found ways to take care of the giant pandas. A food team grows the animals’ favorite food—bamboo—in the zoo. Working with local landowners, it also gets bamboo from 20 stands (竹林) across Washington D. C., Maryland and Virginia. Sometimes, the team receives donations of bamboo from the public. Besides bamboo, the bears receive apples, sweet potatoes, high-fiber hiseeits and honey water. Sweet potatoes are a favorite!
The team also prepares fun activities and toys, which help the pandas stay active and smart. Pandas can paint with the zookeepers, too.
Behind the protection work is a close partnership (合作关系) with panda experts in China. Usually, the zookeepers and Chinese panda experts visit each other several times a year to share knowledge about the animals. During the pandemic (疫情), they kept in touch through emails and video calls. It has been a really good experience for Brandie Smith, director of the zoo, to work with Chinese experts.
“After 50 years, giant pandas remain an iconic species (标志性动物) for our zoo,” said Smith,
“I hope the program will continue at least 50 more years.”
21. When did the first pandas from China arrive at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo
A. In 2022. B. In 2000. C. In 1979. D. In 1972.
22. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 probably imply
A. America was excited about the gift because the two pandas were friendly.
B. These two pandas could make some money for China.
C. China sent the two pandas to America as a gift to show friendliness.
D. The two pandas were expected to be taken good care of in America.
23. Which of the following statement is Not true
A. The food team grows bamboo in the zoo. B. Some of the bamboo is donated by the public.
C. Bamboo is the only food that pandas like. D. Pandas have some ways to play in the zoo.
24. What can we learn from Smith’s words
A. She will visit China very soon. B. She thinks highly of the program.
C. She will continue to work with Chinese experts. D. She wants to learn more about panda from Chinese experts.
25. What is the best title of the text
A. Panda life in the US. B. China’s national treasure.
C. Protecting giant pandas. D. Hard work in saving pandas.

Teachers can change the world
I got an invitation to take part in an education conference (会议) at a high school. At lunchtime, I saw a young girl who looked familiar. I knew she had been a student of mine. I tried hard to recall her name, but I couldn’t. It really made me sad, as I have always been unable to remember former students.
Her eyes met mine and she threw her arms around and said, “Mrs. G, it’s me, Sarah, and I’m still writing!”
All the memories soon came back to my mind. You see, Sarah was never a student in my classroom. Sarah's mother had left her family and her father was absent (缺席的) from her life as well. She was sent to live with foster parents (养父母) the year I met her. Sarah was angry, often got in trouble and was often in the principal’s office.
It was during one of those office visits that I first met her. She was writing in a notebook with a rather angry look on her face. I introduced myself to her and asked her what she was writing about. Sarah shared her story with me. Her writing spoke to me. It filled my heart and I knew it was good for her to put her thoughts on paper. Every morning at school before I started my classes, she would come into my classroom and would work on her writing skills.
My experience years ago with Sarah taught me that teachers have a great influence upon their students, even when those students are troubled. Taking the time to talk with a child has the power to truly change that child’s life. That’s why I teach.

Pandas are not just a national treasure in China, but beloved around the world.
On March 16， 2022, the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington D. C. , started a six-month celebration. This year is the 50th anniversary of the arrival of two giant pandas.
The first pandas from China—Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing—arrived at the zoo on April 16, fifty year ago. In that year, China and the US set up diplomatic (外交) relations. China gifted the US these two pandas as a gesture of goodwill. Over the past 50 years, eight pandas have lived ar the zoo.
From meals to daily fun, the zoo teams have found ways to take care of the giant pandas. A food team grows the animals’ favorite food—bamboo—in the zoo. Working with local landowners, it also gets bamboo from 20 stands (竹林) across Washington D. C., Maryland and Virginia. Sometimes, the team receives donations of bamboo from the public. Besides bamboo, the bears receive apples, sweet potatoes, high-fiber hiseeits and honey water. Sweet potatoes are a favorite!
The team also prepares fun activities and toys, which help the pandas stay active and smart. Pandas can paint with the zookeepers, too.
Behind the protection work is a close partnership (合作关系) with panda experts in China. Usually, the zookeepers and Chinese panda experts visit each other several times a year to share knowledge about the animals. During the pandemic (疫情), they kept in touch through emails and video calls. It has been a really good experience for Brandie Smith, director of the zoo, to work with Chinese experts.
“After 50 years, giant pandas remain an iconic species (标志性动物) for our zoo,” said Smith,
“I hope the program will continue at least 50 more years.”
21. When did the first pandas from China arrive at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo
A. In 2022. B. In 2000. C. In 1979. D. In 1972.
22. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 probably imply
A. America was excited about the gift because the two pandas were friendly.
B. These two pandas could make some money for China.
C. China sent the two pandas to America as a gift to show friendliness.
D. The two pandas were expected to be taken good care of in America.
23. Which of the following statement is Not true
A. The food team grows bamboo in the zoo. B. Some of the bamboo is donated by the public.
C. Bamboo is the only food that pandas like. D. Pandas have some ways to play in the zoo.
24. What can we learn from Smith’s words
A. She will visit China very soon. B. She thinks highly of the program.
C. She will continue to work with Chinese experts. D. She wants to learn more about panda from Chinese experts.
25. What is the best title of the text
