I am a music store owner. One day, when I was cleaning the instruments in my store, I saw an old man come in. “Is 77 too old to learn the banjo(班卓琴) ” he asked.
“You can learn to play it well,” I replied, holding back my doubts. My mind told me I was giving false encouragement. I passed him the teaching schedule, the available time and the information that he would need. To my surprise and joy, the old man, Carl, began banjo lessons three days later with my most patient teacher.
With nothing to do at home but practice, Carl made surprising progress. After breakfast he practiced for his required half an hour. While waiting for lunch he picked up his banjo again for just a couple of minutes. Since TV was difficult for him to see and hear, he often played the banjo in the evenings. Carl was always early for lessons so it was a surprise that he didn’t arrive one Tuesday.
The next morning I listened to the answering machine with sadness. “Carl’s in hospital,” the voice recorded.
Two months later, I shared the newspaper obituary with the banjo teacher. We both felt sad for losing a surprisingly clever banjo student.
Several months later, a woman came into the store carrying a plant. “This is for Carl’s banjo teacher,” she said. “I’m his wife, Mary.”
“Why did Carl want to play the banjo ” I asked. Mary took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Carl was at a show when he was 10 years old. He came close to the stage to watch the performers. When they were packing up their instruments, the banjo player said to Carl, ‘You want to see this up close ’ Carl climbed up on the stage and from then on he wanted to play the banjo.” Carl had waited 67 years to realize a dream! Mary gave the plant to Carl’s banjo teacher. “Thank you for the best six months of his life,” she said.

Zhong Kaitong, a fourth-grader from Guangzhou, enjoyed a fun vacation this summer. Instead of attending English or math training courses, she played badminton and basketball most of the time.
A new guideline (指导方针) introduced by central authorities (中央政府) on July 24 helped Zhong enjoy some free time during the summer. Aiming to ease (减少) the schoolwork burden (负担) on primary and junior high school students, the guideline calls for reducing homework, improving the quality of education and regulating (规范) after-class activities,
According to the guideline, children below the third grade will not have homework anymore. It should take no more than 90 minutes for junior high school students to finish their homework.
Off-campus tutoring institutions (校外培训机构) are not allowed to offer overseas education courses or advanced (超前的) teaching. No subject-based (基于学科的) training will be allowed on weekends, national holidays or during winter and summer vacations.
More than 75 percent of children in Chinese cities from grades 1 to 12 are taking private (私人的) tutoring courses, Global Times reported.
“Parents are worried that if their children start behind, they will stay behind. Some training institutions have taken advantage of (利用) parents’ anxieties (焦虑) to make money,” said Chen Xianzhe, a professor at South China Normal University. “The guideline is meant to calm (安抚) the anxieties of parents and society as a whole.”
“But this does not mean the tutoring courses will completely disappear, since exams still exist (存在),” said Chu Zhaohui, a senior researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences. One-on-one or one-on-two tutoring might see a rise due to this need.
“Therefore, schools should improve their education quality, take the main responsibility for students’ education and not push them into tutoring courses,” Chu added.
31. The aim of the new guideline is to _____.
A. make vacations longer for students
B. ease the pressure put on teachers
C. ease students’ schoolwork burden

A. sports B. math C. computer programming D. public speaking
34. What is Chen Xianzhe’s attitude toward the guideline
A. He supports the guideline.
B. He thinks the guideline is useless.
C. He is against the guideline.
D. We can’t tell from the story.
35. Chu Zhaohui might agree that _____.
A. the guideline will stop off-campus tutoring courses
B. schools should be responsible for students’ education
C. education will become even more unfair

Should Museum Entry Be FreeWith International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket Let us know your mentsMuseums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate, let the wealthy pay for it.

They have a social responsibility too.Amber White (UK)-Age 16I think museums and art galleries should all be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize money-raising events to help pay for the cost of staying open.Li Mishao (China)-Age 15

I am a music store owner. One day, when I was cleaning the instruments in my store, I saw an old man come in. “Is 77 too old to learn the banjo(班卓琴) ” he asked.
“You can learn to play it well,” I replied, holding back my doubts. My mind told me I was giving false encouragement. I passed him the teaching schedule, the available time and the information that he would need. To my surprise and joy, the old man, Carl, began banjo lessons three days later with my most patient teacher.
With nothing to do at home but practice, Carl made surprising progress. After breakfast he practiced for his required half an hour. While waiting for lunch he picked up his banjo again for just a couple of minutes. Since TV was difficult for him to see and hear, he often played the banjo in the evenings. Carl was always early for lessons so it was a surprise that he didn’t arrive one Tuesday.
The next morning I listened to the answering machine with sadness. “Carl’s in hospital,” the voice recorded.
Two months later, I shared the newspaper obituary with the banjo teacher. We both felt sad for losing a surprisingly clever banjo student.
Several months later, a woman came into the store carrying a plant. “This is for Carl’s banjo teacher,” she said. “I’m his wife, Mary.”
“Why did Carl want to play the banjo ” I asked. Mary took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Carl was at a show when he was 10 years old. He came close to the stage to watch the performers. When they were packing up their instruments, the banjo player said to Carl, ‘You want to see this up close ’ Carl climbed up on the stage and from then on he wanted to play the banjo.” Carl had waited 67 years to realize a dream! Mary gave the plant to Carl’s banjo teacher. “Thank you for the best six months of his life,” she said.

Zhong Kaitong, a fourth-grader from Guangzhou, enjoyed a fun vacation this summer. Instead of attending English or math training courses, she played badminton and basketball most of the time.
A new guideline (指导方针) introduced by central authorities (中央政府) on July 24 helped Zhong enjoy some free time during the summer. Aiming to ease (减少) the schoolwork burden (负担) on primary and junior high school students, the guideline calls for reducing homework, improving the quality of education and regulating (规范) after-class activities,
According to the guideline, children below the third grade will not have homework anymore. It should take no more than 90 minutes for junior high school students to finish their homework.
Off-campus tutoring institutions (校外培训机构) are not allowed to offer overseas education courses or advanced (超前的) teaching. No subject-based (基于学科的) training will be allowed on weekends, national holidays or during winter and summer vacations.
More than 75 percent of children in Chinese cities from grades 1 to 12 are taking private (私人的) tutoring courses, Global Times reported.
“Parents are worried that if their children start behind, they will stay behind. Some training institutions have taken advantage of (利用) parents’ anxieties (焦虑) to make money,” said Chen Xianzhe, a professor at South China Normal University. “The guideline is meant to calm (安抚) the anxieties of parents and society as a whole.”
“But this does not mean the tutoring courses will completely disappear, since exams still exist (存在),” said Chu Zhaohui, a senior researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences. One-on-one or one-on-two tutoring might see a rise due to this need.
“Therefore, schools should improve their education quality, take the main responsibility for students’ education and not push them into tutoring courses,” Chu added.
31. The aim of the new guideline is to _____.
A. make vacations longer for students
B. ease the pressure put on teachers
C. ease students’ schoolwork burden

34. What is Chen Xianzhe’s attitude toward the guideline
A. He supports the guideline.
B. He thinks the guideline is useless.
C. He is against the guideline.
D. We can’t tell from the story.
35. Chu Zhaohui might agree that _____.
A. the guideline will stop off-campus tutoring courses
B. schools should be responsible for students’ education
C. education will become even more unfair
D. the guideline will end in failure
【答案】CDBAB
【解析】
31.C细节理解题。从Aiming to ease (减少) the schoolwork burden (负担) on primary and junior high school students, 目的是减少中小学生方面课业负担。故答案选C
32.D细节理解题。根据指南的意思D符合指南。初中学业功课应当减少。
33.B推理判断题。根据No subject-based (基于学科的) training will be allowed on weekends, national holidays or during winter and summer vacations. 而maths是学科类基础课程。可知答案选B
34.A细节理解题。从“The guideline is meant to calm (安抚) the anxieties of parents and society as a whole.”
华南师范大学教授陈贤哲说，“这个指导方针是为了安抚父母和整个社会的焦虑。”可知他是支持双减政策的。

Should Museum Entry Be FreeWith International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket Let us know your mentsMuseums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education.

This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee.Rob Sanchez (Australia)-Age 17There are no simple answers.

They have a social responsibility too.Amber White (UK)-Age 16I think museums and art galleries should all be free to the public.
