Exams help teachers see what kids know, but some say it’s time to stop the clock
Students in the US are regularly tested on their knowledge of class materials, from midterms to finals. Traditionally, educators have put time limits on tests 45 they believe it’s fair to give most students the same amount of time, and they also think students who really know the material should be able to answer all the questions during that time. Studies have shown, however, that the 46 to take a test quickly doesn’t reflect (反映) a student’s intelligence or knowledge of the material. Timed tests simply favour (有利于) students who can think under pressure. What do you think Should we get rid of timed tests
Yes—having a time limit on tests can be unfair
Time limits on tests give an advantage to students who can think quickly and stay calm. That has 47 to do with how much they know or how much they’ve studied. Many students, including people with learning difficulties, need more time to focus on their thoughts. They can get stressed and anxious (焦虑的) and even have trouble sleeping the night before a test, which will affect their performance. Not everyone can express his ideas or knowledge while the clock is ticking. Studies show that when students have time to focus on the questions, they give more thoughtful answers and 48 remember the material better.
No—it’s important to have time limits on tests
Giving students the same test with the same time limit is a fair way to test and compare their knowledge and abilities. While some students may need extra time due to specific needs, not everyone does. 49 there is a time limit for students to finish a test, they won’t learn how to manage their time or decide how much time to spend on each question. Time limits encourage students to trust their knowledge, make decisions and move forward, which helps build 50 .
Learning to work efficiently and quickly is also important in the real world, including in the workplace.

Harbin, in northeastern China, is the site of the Harbin International Snow and Ice Festival, the biggest winter festival in the world. Some of the biggest and most beautiful ice sculptures (雕塑) can be seen in the festival.
Harbin’s location and freezing temperatures make it a 45 place to host a winter festival. The city centre sits on the banks of the Songhua River. The river freezes over in the winter and provides hundreds of thousands of cubic metres of ice. Ice artists from around the world turn the blocks of ice into buildings, animals, and other 46 .
The world’s largest winter festival grew out of a traditional ice lantern display and garden party that was 47 held in 1963. The snow and ice sculptures became part of the ice lantern festivities in 1985. In 2001, the celebration and Heilongjiang’s International Ski Festival joined together and started to use its current (现行的) name.
It’s hard to imagine that this grand display of ice and snow sculptures started as ice in a bucket. Traditional ice lanterns were created by freezing water in a bucket, 48 the ice, and making a hole into the block of ice. A candle was then placed inside the block to create a lantern.
Today’s creations are much more carefully 49 and take much more time to form. Although the basic materials are the same-water, light, and ice-the displays now include LED lights and a lot of details. From a 50 block of ice to the world’s largest ice and snow amusement park, the festival has made a dramatic change. No wonder it attracts millions of people each year.

Going shopping with your parents can be great fun. In the UK we buy more clothes than any other country in Europe. What people might not realise is that the fashion industry, and particularly “fast fashion”, is 45 to the planet.
Fast fashion refers to cheap clothes that are quickly produced by large companies to 46 the latest styles. Styles change all the time and lots of people like to buy clothes that are in fashion right now. The aim of fast fashion is to get these new styles into shops as fast as possible, so customers can buy them.
The fashion industry is 47 for between 8 and 10% of the greenhouse gas emissions (排放). Making clothes also requires lots of water. Cotton comes from plants that need to be watered frequently to make them grow, and turning raw cotton into clothes needs even more water. The clothes then have to be shipped to the countries where they’re going to be sold, which produces even more pollution. Fast fashion items aren’t made to last forever because they often go out of style quite 48 . Some people throw their clothes away when they don’t want them anymore.
Companies often employ people in other countries to make their clothes, and some don’t pay their workers very much. People then have to work 49 hours to earn enough money to live on. Some countries have fewer rules than the UK, which means that factories aren’t always well looked after and checked for safety. That could mean workers having to make clothes in dangerous or unhealthy 50 .
Lots of people are working for change. You could also raise awareness of the problem among your family and friends or ask a teacher to help you spread the word at your school.

However, they are advertised as 49 in fat. So while the foods seem healthier, large amounts of sugar are often added.

A Taste of Finnish Culture
Some students came to Finland to study at Helsinki University. They are sitting in a city cafe after one of their classes.
Kirsten: Talking about Finns and Finland, what do you guys think about living here 45
Edwina: I must tell you guys that I was quite pleasantly surprised at the weather when I first arrived here in the middle of winter. The temperature was minus 15. I thought I was going to die! But I don’t freeze 46 in Finland, because all the buildings are so well heated. I freeze more in Scotland than I do here.
Vishal: True. And the summertime is lovely, though. Another thing I really like about living in Finland is that it’s really 47 , at least compared to Mumbai! One day, when I was walking home, I dropped my wallet. When I noticed this, I thought it would be stolen for sure. But I found that someone had put my wallet on top of a bench so that I would find it more easily. The most surprising thing was that nothing had been taken from it!

Should parents choose your clothes
Lots of parents choose their children’s clothes, or at least have a say in what they wear. As children get older, they tend to develop stronger opinions of how they want to dress. It’s common for children and teens to have different opinions with their parents over clothes. Some young people don’t 45 how they dress, others want to express their style, follow trends (n. 潮流) or dress like friends or famous people they like.
What do you think Should parents choose your clothes
Yes — Advice is helpful.
Parents can help you choose the right clothes because they have more 46 . It’s part of their job — like making sure you eat a healthy diet. As they are usually paying, it makes sense that parents have a say. If parents didn’t help children choose clothes, they might wear things that aren’t wise, like flip-flops (人字拖) in the rain. 47 , at some special events, it can be necessary to dress in a certain way to show respect. Young people can feel pressure to dress in clothes that are too grown-up. Choosing clothes can be a two-way 48 : children say what they prefer but parents have the final say. It’s not just about what you wear, but how you wear it.
No — It’s an individual decision.
You should decide because you’re the one wearing the clothes. Parents don’t always understand what children like or know what is trendy. What’s more, choosing for yourself is an important step towards becoming 49 and can build self-confidence.
Selecting clothes can be fun and creative, and allows you to express yourself and develop an individual style. For some people, clothing is a way of showing you 50 a certain group. Plus, if children select their own clothes, they are more likely to wear them, which means fewer arguments and less wasted money.

Perhaps you’ve heard of the huge action superstar of the 1980s and 1990s, Arnold Schwarzenegger, famous for movies like The Terminator. Even now, at the age of 76, Schwarzenegger has never given up on his passion for bodybuilding and physical fitness.
As a child born in 1947 in Austria, Schwarzenegger had watched movies about Hercules, and dreamed of being as big as the 61 he saw on the screen. Schwarzenegger began working on his dream when he was a teenager, exercising and weightlifting nonstop. As a young man he would take part in the biggest bodybuilding competitions in the world, 62 the titles of Mr Universe five times and Mr Olympia seven times.
At the height of his bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger decided to try and break into Hollywood. He moved to the US with little money, knowing 63 any English. But he worked tirelessly on learning the language and acting. Since his accent wouldn’t fit the position, his name was too long and his body was too big, he wasn’t 64 into Hollywood with open arms. “… Everyone said… ‘You will never become a leading man’,” Schwarzenegger said in an interview with Virgin Radio UK.
But Schwarzenegger wasn’t going to be held back. “I didn’t listen to the naysayers (反对者),” said Schwarzenegger, “… like Mandela always said, everything is impossible 65 someone does it. And that’s the way I feel.”
Schwarzenegger went on to become the Governor of California in 2003 and ran for two terms before returning to the world of acting. He continues to act, runs exercise programs and has also written a number of books on 66 fitness and achieving success.
Schwarzenegger’s story is something we can learn from. We should never give in to the naysayers and never give up going after our dreams.

Exams help teachers see what kids know, but some say it’s time to stop the clock
Students in the US are regularly tested on their knowledge of class materials, from midterms to finals. Traditionally, educators have put time limits on tests 45 they believe it’s fair to give most students the same amount of time, and they also think students who really know the material should be able to answer all the questions during that time. Studies have shown, however, that the 46 to take a test quickly doesn’t reflect (反映) a student’s intelligence or knowledge of the material. Timed tests simply favour (有利于) students who can think under pressure. What do you think Should we get rid of timed tests
Yes—having a time limit on tests can be unfair
Time limits on tests give an advantage to students who can think quickly and stay calm. That has 47 to do with how much they know or how much they’ve studied. Many students, including people with learning difficulties, need more time to focus on their thoughts. They can get stressed and anxious (焦虑的) and even have trouble sleeping the night before a test, which will affect their performance. Not everyone can express his ideas or knowledge while the clock is ticking. Studies show that when students have time to focus on the questions, they give more thoughtful answers and 48 remember the material better.
No—it’s important to have time limits on tests
Giving students the same test with the same time limit is a fair way to test and compare their knowledge and abilities. While some students may need extra time due to specific needs, not everyone does. 49 there is a time limit for students to finish a test, they won’t learn how to manage their time or decide how much time to spend on each question. Time limits encourage students to trust their knowledge, make decisions and move forward, which helps build 50 .
Learning to work efficiently and quickly is also important in the real world, including in the workplace.
45．A．therefore B．although C．until D．because
46．A．decision B．ability C．moment D．opinion
47．A．everything B．something C．anything D．nothing

Blue calico (印花布) appeared in the Han and Jin dynasties, developed in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the 1980s, women in the Jiangnan countryside liked to wear blue calico clothes, for they were not only beautiful but also comfortable for working in rice fields. Last month, students in school got the chance to see and learn about these 45 clothes.
The “exploration of old Chinese costumes” class on Nov 8 at Nanjing Foreign Language School went deep into learning about blue calico. The students met the 46 of making their own bags through tie-dyeing (扎染). It is a dyeing skill used to make blue calico.
“First, fold the cloth bag the way you like,” said he, a grade 8 student. “Then use rubber bands (橡皮筋) to hold it. Next, 47 blue dye which is made from the leaves of the indigo plant, to the water. Push the bag down well so the colors go through. Then wait. An hour later, wash it a few times with clean water to 48 extra dye.”
“Tie-dyeing is a magical art. Everyone does it a bit 49 . You never know exactly how it will look in the end because it depends on how the rubber bands are held. It’s amazing and attractive.” said Ma Qianyu, a grade 8 student, happy with her work. “The dye and cotton material all come from 50 and people make blue calico all by hand. It is a symbol of folk (民间的) people and their hard work and effort.” she said.
“Clothing is a part of culture. It is also a part of art and life,” said Chen Xi, the teacher of the class. “Our students will later go to Nanjing Museum to get more knowledge about life in Jiangsu and the folk customs there.”

In the US and other places around the world, there is a 46 feeling of wanting the newest, greatest tech gadgets (小玩意). The latest technology gets people’s attention even though people may not need it. But why is this

Harbin, in northeastern China, is the site of the Harbin International Snow and Ice Festival, the biggest winter festival in the world. Some of the biggest and most beautiful ice sculptures (雕塑) can be seen in the festival.
Harbin’s location and freezing temperatures make it a 45 place to host a winter festival. The city centre sits on the banks of the Songhua River. The river freezes over in the winter and provides hundreds of thousands of cubic metres of ice. Ice artists from around the world turn the blocks of ice into buildings, animals, and other 46 .
The world’s largest winter festival grew out of a traditional ice lantern display and garden party that was 47 held in 1963. The snow and ice sculptures became part of the ice lantern festivities in 1985. In 2001, the celebration and Heilongjiang’s International Ski Festival joined together and started to use its current (现行的) name.
It’s hard to imagine that this grand display of ice and snow sculptures started as ice in a bucket. Traditional ice lanterns were created by freezing water in a bucket, 48 the ice, and making a hole into the block of ice. A candle was then placed inside the block to create a lantern.
Today’s creations are much more carefully 49 and take much more time to form. Although the basic materials are the same-water, light, and ice-the displays now include LED lights and a lot of details. From a 50 block of ice to the world’s largest ice and snow amusement park, the festival has made a dramatic change. No wonder it attracts millions of people each year.

Going shopping with your parents can be great fun. In the UK we buy more clothes than any other country in Europe. What people might not realise is that the fashion industry, and particularly “fast fashion”, is 45 to the planet.
Fast fashion refers to cheap clothes that are quickly produced by large companies to 46 the latest styles. Styles change all the time and lots of people like to buy clothes that are in fashion right now. The aim of fast fashion is to get these new styles into shops as fast as possible, so customers can buy them.
The fashion industry is 47 for between 8 and 10% of the greenhouse gas emissions (排放). Making clothes also requires lots of water. Cotton comes from plants that need to be watered frequently to make them grow, and turning raw cotton into clothes needs even more water. The clothes then have to be shipped to the countries where they’re going to be sold, which produces even more pollution. Fast fashion items aren’t made to last forever because they often go out of style quite 48 . Some people throw their clothes away when they don’t want them anymore.
Companies often employ people in other countries to make their clothes, and some don’t pay their workers very much. People then have to work 49 hours to earn enough money to live on. Some countries have fewer rules than the UK, which means that factories aren’t always well looked after and checked for safety. That could mean workers having to make clothes in dangerous or unhealthy 50 .
Lots of people are working for change. You could also raise awareness of the problem among your family and friends or ask a teacher to help you spread the word at your school.

Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction (瘾). When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects the parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling 45 , leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on.
“It seems like every time I 46 an illness and trace (追踪) a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 346 million have diabetes (糖尿病). Why “Sugar, we believe, is one of the factors, if not the major factors,” says Johnson.
Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient (有效率的) in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had 47 stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.
So what is the 48 It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers (制造商) even use sugar to replace taste in foods. However, they are advertised as 49 in fat. So while the foods seem healthier, large amounts of sugar are often added.
But some people are fighting against sugar and trying to create a healthier environment. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options, like fruit. Other schools are trying to encourage exercise by building facilities like walking tracks 50 students and others in the community can exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.

Both my wife and I are running lovers. I usually run on the track in my neighbourhood. Most people walk on the track, so I am faster than them. My speed seems amazing to the walkers and I often pass by them twenty or more times around the track. This makes me feel 45 .
One day, a short man came. He didn’t look like much of a runner. I saw him 46 the car and warm up before running when I passed by two walkers. He started running a few meters ahead of me. He was fast but I 47 and managed to catch up with him. I had someone to compete with. But after a lap (圈), I fell behind him and had great difficulty in breathing.

A Taste of Finnish Culture
Some students came to Finland to study at Helsinki University. They are sitting in a city cafe after one of their classes.
Kirsten: Talking about Finns and Finland, what do you guys think about living here 45
Edwina: I must tell you guys that I was quite pleasantly surprised at the weather when I first arrived here in the middle of winter. The temperature was minus 15. I thought I was going to die! But I don’t freeze 46 in Finland, because all the buildings are so well heated. I freeze more in Scotland than I do here.
Vishal: True. And the summertime is lovely, though. Another thing I really like about living in Finland is that it’s really 47 , at least compared to Mumbai! One day, when I was walking home, I dropped my wallet. When I noticed this, I thought it would be stolen for sure. But I found that someone had put my wallet on top of a bench so that I would find it more easily. The most surprising thing was that nothing had been taken from it!
Kirsten: That’s pretty 48 . It always makes me smile to see all the lost things.
Edwina: People here 49 a lot. For example, almost no one crosses the road when the light is red, even if there are no cars coming.
Kirsten: You’re right! I remember I once crossed the road when the light was red. People waiting on the other side looked at me in a very annoyed way. That made me decide never to do it again!
Vishal: That’s funny! In India, people don’t do that!
Joseph: Well, another thing that can be funny is Finnish food. One day, soon after getting to Finland, I felt like having something sweet. I went into the corner shop and I saw that there were freshly baked doughnuts on the bread counter. “Excellent!” I thought, and I chose a big doughnut to sink my teeth into. But imagine my horror when I discovered that it was filled with meat!

A bedtime routine (睡前习惯) is the activities you do every night before going to bed. Your bedtime routine can fit your needs and sleep environment. It can also help form habits to tell your brain it is time for bed. The following 45 may help you get a better bedtime routine.

Do you have any indoor plants in your room Indoor plants might look as if they just sit around not doing much, but in many ways, they are the 61 heroes of the home. Not only do they look beautiful, but studies have shown that they can give people a sense of wellbeing (安适).What’s more, indoor plants are easy to look after and are not very expensive.
Indoor plants also known as houseplants or pot plants, are plants that like to grow indoors. Many of them are not ideally fit for growing outside, especially in winter. Instead, they grow better inside, where it is 62 .
Several studies have backed this up and found that indoor plants can really lift your mood. Will Spoelstra, a British botanist (植物学家), tells us, “There are many 63 of growing plants indoors. I find that during the winter months, plants around the house can improve creativity and memory.” There is also research showing that pot plants can clean the air around them by taking in harmful gases. “Plants can 64 some harmful chemicals after the house is newly painted. Peace lilies and ivy are among the best,” says Will.
Most indoor plants are easy to grow. You can buy them from supermarkets, garden centers or online. Younger plants are often cheaper than grown ones, but you get to care for them as they grow. Will suggests people read the instruction on the label or find out more about the plants before 65 . The process is part of the joy of planting. It can bring a new interest and focus into people’s lives and help to bridge the gap between home and 66 . It can provide a sense of relaxation, allowing people to escape from the tiredness of daily life.

W: Well, it’s some rooms covered with foams (海绵), so bats won’t get the strong echoes from hard walls. And then there are some microphones spread out around the room. They are all fixed to the wall to pick up the call from the bats. We also have high-speed cameras. They allow us to record their flight.

J: Are there obstacles (障碍物) in the room so that the bats have to fly around
W: Oh, yes. We sometimes hang up some wooden boards in the rooms. We also set up a platform and train the bats to fly from one side of the room to the platform for the food 48 .

J: Can you explain how bats echolocate in the 49 conditions
W: Suppose you are standing in a group of people in a party, and everyone is chatting. You are trying to talk to one person and focus on what you yourself are saying. Then you speak louder and repeat yourself to make sure someone has heard you. This is an effect that we see in bats as well.

Should parents choose your clothes
Lots of parents choose their children’s clothes, or at least have a say in what they wear. As children get older, they tend to develop stronger opinions of how they want to dress. It’s common for children and teens to have different opinions with their parents over clothes. Some young people don’t 45 how they dress, others want to express their style, follow trends (n. 潮流) or dress like friends or famous people they like.
What do you think Should parents choose your clothes
Yes — Advice is helpful.
Parents can help you choose the right clothes because they have more 46 . It’s part of their job — like making sure you eat a healthy diet. As they are usually paying, it makes sense that parents have a say. If parents didn’t help children choose clothes, they might wear things that aren’t wise, like flip-flops (人字拖) in the rain. 47 , at some special events, it can be necessary to dress in a certain way to show respect. Young people can feel pressure to dress in clothes that are too grown-up. Choosing clothes can be a two-way 48 : children say what they prefer but parents have the final say. It’s not just about what you wear, but how you wear it.
No — It’s an individual decision.
