A team of students in the Netherlands has designed and built a solid car that’s completely powered by the sun. The car, called Stella Terra, is the first solar-powered car that can travel off-road for long distances without needing a recharging station.
Students at Eindhoven University of Technology have been working on solar-powered cars for years. But last year, 30 students, known as Solar Team Eindhoven, took a year off to work on developing an off-road solar-powered car.
To bring a highly efficient(有效的)solar-powered car closer to reality, the team designed the entire car, from top to bottom. The car generated energy using the absorbed solar power from the solar panels(板)on top, which are 97% efficient. Most solar panels, by contrast, are only about 20% efficient, meaning a waste of about 80% of the sunlight they get. Weighing just 2,600 pounds, the car has a top speed of 90 miles per hour and can run for 440 miles on a sunny day. On the bottom, they designed a system to handle the heavy shaking that comes when driving over uneven surfaces.
The landscape of the Netherlands limits the testing options available to the team, so they took the car on its biggest test drive across Morocco, where the car had to weather through forests and dry riverbeds, across loose desert sand and up challenging mountain paths. The car succeeded in doing all of this and all without ever stopping at a charging station.
“It was an incredible trip with a positive ending. We’ re pushing the boundaries of technology,” says Wisse Bos, the team manager. The team take pride in their car, but they won’t be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas. In fact, they hope Stella Terra will inspire car companies to work on similar projects. But despite their success, the students think it’ll take 5 to 10 years before car companies are able to build a similar car.

People flood into cities for understandable reasons: more job opportunities, more cultural diversity and larger communities. Yet living in a concrete-walled, green-poor, urban environment takes away from our-very essence our fundamental need to be close to nature. We can’t quite break the link with our evolutionary (进化的) past and part ways with our origins. Surrounding ourselves with walls and ‘screens, we tend to pay a price, often with our health and quality of life.
In Japan, a populous country with vast expanses of green forests, an ancient tradition, known as shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, tries to balance out the pressure from urban living. It’s the practice of spending prolonged periods of time with trees to gain from their many health benefits. In a book hitting shelves this month, Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness, Dr. Qing Li, the world’s foremost expert in forest medicine, introduces readers to the valuable practice of forest bathing. The book features more than 100 color photographs of forests around the world. One may reject this kind of book as yet less convincing, but the point is that Li has not just practiced forest bathing, but has also studied its impact on people’s health through numerous scientific studies. He has data to support his claims, collected in a long list of expert-reviewed articles at the end of the book.
The book lists studies that consistently show-a substantial, reduction of stress hormones (应激激素). Essential tree oils found in forest air increase energy levels by more than 30 percent and improve a general state of well-being, including improvement in sleep.
Scientific results apart, the, concept of forest bathing shouldn’t be so surprising. Who hasn’t felt an inner sense of well-being when walking along a quiet forest path Stepping into a forest, away from the artificial sounds and smells of urban life, does feel like pushing a life reset button, reestablishing a connection with our deepest needs.

High engagement, high return. That’s the advice from education experts at the University of South Australia for teachers looking to improve student outcomes.
Filming and assessing (评估) the content of classrooms across South Australia and Victoria, researchers found in a new study that nearly 70% of student tasks involved superficial learning — simple question and answers, taking notes, or listening to teachers — rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level. Less than a third of teachers are engaging students in complicated learning, limiting student opportunities for critical thinking and problem solving.
UniSA researcher, Dr. Stephenson, highlights teachers need more support to plan interactive and constructive lessons that promote deep learning. “The greater the engagement, the deeper the learning. Deep learning requites the organization of knowledge into conceptual structures, which improves information memory and learning outcomes. It also supports the development of innovative thinking. Even small changes to teachers’ existing lesson plans and teaching methods can vastly increase student engagement and overall results,” he says.
“At a base level, teachers should consider how they can adjust their existing classroom activities so that more tasks are on the deeper end of learning. Take for example, watching a video. Students can silently watch a video (which is ‘passive’); watch a video and take notes using the presenter’s words (which is ‘active’); write questions that occur for them while watching the video (which is ‘constructive’); or watch a video and discuss it with another student to generate different ideas (which is ‘interactive’). Interactive engagement in classrooms motivates students to develop deeper understanding. They’re making judgments, suggesting and commenting on arguments and opinions, and working out solutions to problems,” Dr. Stephenson says.
Interestingly, many teachers seem not to know or fully appreciate the importance of how their lesson tasks can stimulate different modes of student engagement. “Even changing class activities from ‘active’ to ‘constructive ’can go a long way towards improving student leaning,” Dr. Stephenson says. “Teachers should undertake professional development to transform their thinking towards practices that support deeper-learning and better outcomes for students.”
12. What does the underlined word “superficial” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Shallow. B. Productive. C. Confusing. D. Challenging.
13. What are most student in-class tasks like according to the study
A. They make classes lively and fun.
BThey achieve no desired results.
C. They contribute to students’ deep thinking.
D. They stop students from concentration.
14. If students attend a lesson about western and eastern cultures, which activity works best
A. A group debate. B. A film screening.
C. A reading contest. D. A retelling exercise.
15What does Dr. Stephenson suggest teachers do for better student outcomes
A. Increase class activities.
B. Interact with students more often.
C. Upgrade teaching strategies.
D. Engage students in more self-study.

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let's go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with (插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward (懦夫), and afraid to go,” said Robert, and he ran. Henry went straight home and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together. Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored (忽视) the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Everyday after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.

【答案】Dear fellow students,
I am Li Hua from Class 7 Grade 3. President Xi said in his New Year's Speech, "we are all running very hard. We are all dream chasers, especially the students." So, today I am honored to be here to share my views with you.
To begin with, as a Chinese youth of the new era, we are supposed to have specific dreams. Not only can they drive us study hard, but also they can help us live a better life with a good command of knowledge. Moreover, it is a strong sense of responsibility that we should have. If we possess responsibility, we may advance bravely when we encounter difficulties in the future. Finally, we have to train ourselves to be more confident, which is the key to success.
Thank you very much for your attention.

【答案】Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned only with his hands sticking out of the water. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran quickly to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking at the last moment. By great effort, and with too much danger to himself, he brought Robert back to the shore.
Thus, Robert’s life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed at having called Henry a coward. They realized that Robert had true courage. And it was Henry who was the true friend worth making. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.
