Recently, a student used his Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) to film a female teacher scolding and tearing the work of a classmate. The public discussion that the incident caused started on the Internet. However, when it came to the media’s attention, it quickly became a major topic in the education circles. The reactions so far suggest that the focus of the debate has been on one question: whom to blame?
Teachers who are anxious to defend their professional dignity have tried to put the blame on the students. They mentioned their right to privacy 隐私)and for this reason they requested the Ministry of Education (MOE) to prohibit PDAs in schools. On the other hand, some parents and students have taken a different position. They feel that the teacher is also at fault. Caught up in the war of words between both sides, people are no longer interested in the “truth” of the matter which seems now unimportant. It was left to newspapers to discover the central point of the controversial issue, by stressing the problems that are not always easily noticed in our educational system.
For those responsible for educating the young, this PDA incident conveys the message that “Times have changed”,a reality that must have been felt even more strongly by the female teacher when reflecting on this unpleasant experience. Different times call for different professional approaches in education. The ability to understand the students they are teaching has always been the quality of successful teachers. Despite some factors, the incident shows that the teacher lacks good qualities on her part. Besides, the rules under current system to deal with recalcitrant students need to be improved. Also, it is an example which shows the issue we are familiar with: what to do with new technology? With PDA, the new technology, the interaction (交流)between the teacher and students in classroom has been changed.
小题1:The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to______.
A.improve the teachers’ way of teaching
B.stress the using of PDA in the classroom
C.change the students’ behavior in the classroom
D.discuss the potential problems of educational system
小题2:The underlined word “recalcitrant” in paragraph 3 probably means______?
A.difficult to controlB.interested in nothing
C.unwilling to learnD.ready to obey rules
小题3:The writer’s attitude toward the PDA incident is______.
A.optimisticB.critical
C.uncertainD.approval
小题4:What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Whom to blame?

C.Times have changed
D.What to do with new technology?

First Lady Michelle Obama urged students to visit China at the "100,000 Strong" China Study Abroad forum at Howard University in 2011.
President Barack Obama announced the "100,000 Strong" Initiative (倡议) during his 2009 visit to China. The program aims to increase and diversify the number of American students studying in China by making studying abroad more affordable.
During the event at Howard, Mrs. Obama spoke about the importance of studying abroad, something she never did while in college. "Studying in countries like China is about so much more than just improving your own prospects(前景) in the global market. The fact is that with every friendship you make and every bond of trust you establish you are shaping an image of America projected to the rest of the world," she said.
David Marzban from Pepperdine University recalled a time when he formed a cross-cultural bond with a complete stranger at a restaurant near Fudan University in Shanghai. He noticed a young chef signaling him to come over. "He presses the play button on his media player and starts singing "California Dreaming" and wants me to sing along with him," Marzban said. "At this time I knew a great friendship had started during my first two weeks in China."
Nicole Baden, a senior communications major at Howard University, recalled how her time in China really helped her master the language. "You have to experience the culture while learning the language to really master it and to understand why things are how they are compared to your own culture," Baden said.
Mrs. Obama encouraged students to set aside concept that studying abroad is for rich kids only or for those attending certain schools. In addition, the first lady announced that the Chinese government is giving 10,000 "Bridge Scholarships" to cover costs for American students and teachers studying in China.
Students from several schools attended the forum. 12-year-old Sarah Davis, who studied in China last summer, said she was very excited to hear Michelle Obama talk about the country. “I love Chinese. Out of all the languages I’ve learned, Chinese is the most difficult and interesting,” she said.
小题1:The examples mentioned in the passage mainly indicate that _____.
A.the US students’ life in China is helpful and worthwhile
B.all students of the US are living a comfortable life in China
C.Chinese young people are friendly to foreigners
D.it isn’t realistic for some US young people to study in China
小题2:What can we infer from the passage?
A.Baden came to China to study the differences between English and Chinese.
B.Poor children from America have no opportunity to study in China.
C.David Marzban made a Chinese friend in an unexpected way in China.
D.Michelle Obama called on US students to study in China at a government meeting.
小题3:What is the best title for the passage?

It’s not easy being a teenager---nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.
Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll refuse to talk. Instead, let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy(隐私). Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions.
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.
小题1:Why is it not easy being a teenager or a parent of a teenager?
A.Because the teenager is very naughty.
B.Because the parent always expects a lot from the child.
C.Because you can make your child feel hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself.
D.Because the teenager wants his or her own space.
小题2:The main purpose of the text is to tell parents       .
A.how to get along with a teenager B.how to respect a teenager
C.how to understand a teenagerD.how to help a teenager grow up
小题3:The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager        .
A.to use the phone in a sensible wayB.to pay for his own telephone
C.to share the phone quicklyD.to answer the phone quickly
小题4:What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?
A.Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs.
B.Give him advice only when necessary.
C.Let him have his own telephone.
D.Not talk about personal things with him.

Pigs are always considered dirty animals because they roll in mud.But in fact they prefer  being quite clean.They cover themselves with mud to help stay cool.During cooler weather,  they prefer to stay clean.So do elephants,who also cover themselves in dust or mud to keep cool. When they find a place with clean water they will take a bath,using their long noses to give  themselves—or each other—a nice shower
Some animals use dust to get clean.Chinchillas (南美洲栗鼠) have very fine fur. They don`t like to take water baths because water is not warm enough for them.So, instead, they roll  around in fine dust.The dust helps to keep their fur and skin dry.This protects them from disease
Usually, a small bird is a light meal for a crocodile.But when a crocodile wants its teeth  cleaned.it lies on the ground with its mouth open.The crocodile bird goes in and picks out any  parasites(寄生虫)between the crocodile`s teeth or under its tongue.The crocodile gets its mouth cleaned,and the crocodile bird gets dinner.
You wouldn`t think fish would need baths.But some undersea parasites live under the  fish`s skin.“Cleaner”fish,like the wrasse(隆头鱼),help take them away.The wrasse stands on its head and dances to signal a big fish that it is ready to go into the cleaning business.The big fish will stop moving and open its mouth wide so the wrasse can swim inside and pick out  parasites and bits of food.
