made from an empty oil tin.Their headmistress, Emile Jean-Noel, is one of the few women school
headteachers in the country.
Today, over 70% of Haitian population live without proper food, water, schools, or housing. To
reduce the hunger that prevents learning and to encourage parents to send their children to school, meals
are provided by the World Food Programme.
"We are so cut off that we have many difficulties," comments Emile, adding that finding chalk, school
books and other materials is practically impossible.Emile tries to encourage people around her to make use
of available resources.Her efforts are bearing fruit.One of her successes was convincing local women to
contribute to their children" s schooling and increase their income by selling embroidery( 刺绣) and other
handicrafts.
Recent political instability has meant that the country has not invested (投资) in education for ten
years.Only 44% of children go to school and less than half of them finish primary school. Less than a
third of these children go on to secondary school.In rural areas it is not rare to find 17 and 18 year olds
in primary school- Beau-Roc has only 4 teachers for 260 pupils.Emile works constantly to improve her
pupils" environment.Under her direction, a local worker is now constructing a store house for the food
delivered regularly by the WFP.
Not only is Emile" s salary small, but she receives it irregularly.For her, transport is a real headache.
She lives five kilometers away and has to take the tap tap, a privately-owned bus, costing more than she
can afford.
"The decision to be a rural teacher in Haiti should not be taken lightly", Emile comments. "With all the
sacrifices and risks it requires, only those who are really cut out for teaching should do it." However,
Emile loves her job. "I always feel at home with the children and, because the parents understand what I"m
doing, I try to give my best."
B. Persuading local women to care about their children" s education.
C. Encouraging people around to use those available resources.
D. Finding chalk, school books and other materials.
B. political instability in Haiti
C. challenges in Emile" s life
D. Emile" s constant efforts
B. unfamiliar with teaching
C. qualified for teaching
D. cautious about teaching
B. Devotion to education.
C. Politics and children.

about rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a car. Many future lawyers and doctors probably
wish they could join their profession without taking an exam.
But tests and standards are a necessary fact of life. They protect us from unskilled drivers, harmful
products and dishonest professionals. In schools too exams play a.constructive role. They tell public officials
whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to pay off.
They tell teachers what their students have learned--and have not. They tell parents how their children are
doing compared with others their age. They encourage students to make more effort.
It is important to recall that for most of century, educators used intelligence tests to decide which
children should get a high-quality education.The point of IQ testing was to find out how much children were
capable of learning rather than to test what they had actually learned. Based on IQ scores, millions of children
were assigned to dumbed-down programs instead of solid courses in science, math, history, literature and
foreign language.
This history reminds us that tests should be used to improve education. Every child should have access
to a high-quality education.Students should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise their
scores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated family.
In the past few years, we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students because
of the information provided by state tests.Those who fall behind are now getting extra instruction in
after-school classes and summer programs.In their efforts to improve student performance, states are
increasing teachers salaries, testing new teachers and insisting on better teacher education.
Performance in education means the mastery of both knowledge and skills. This is why it is reasonable to
test teachers to make sure they know their subject matter, as well as how to teach it to young children. And
this is why it is reasonable to assess whether students are ready to advance to the next grade or graduate
from highschool.
B. students to meet their teachers" requirements
C. teachers to understand if their students have made efforts
D. parents to compare their kids" achievements across schools
B. are less academically challenging
C. are intended for intelligent students
D. enable children to make steady progress
B. Tests should focus on what students have actually learned.
C. Intelligent tests decide if children should get a high-quality education.
D. Intelligent tests are helpful in separating excellent students from poor ones.
B. To defend the role of testing in education.
C. To explain what high-quality education means.
D. To call for thorough and complete reform in education.
to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so
on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
First, let"s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you
can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are
usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have
as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it"s very important for
you to take notes on what the professor says because the information a lecture is often different from the
information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn"t
enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have
a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting
usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the
homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion
sections.
If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you"ll also have to spend several hours a week
in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom
than non science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually
have to read and write more than science majors do.
B. to persuade the students to attend lectures
C. to encourage the students to take part in discussions
D. to advise the students to choose proper majors
B. must join the students in the discussion sections
C. prefer to use textbooks in their lectures
D. require the students to read beyond the textbooks
B. talking over what the students have read about the courses
C. discussing the problems related to the students" homework
D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture
B. spend less time on their studies than non science majors
C. consider experiments more important than discussions
D. read and write less than non science majors
enough, someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking
at them. To research whether such a "sixth sense" really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家)
at the University of Kentucky, performed two experiments.
In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their
heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects (受试者) were eating, drinking, reading studying, watching TV,
or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them
during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense
that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from
behind a two way mirror in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were
being stared at and when they weren"t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they
were stared at and when they weren"t.Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they
were started at than if they had just guessed.
Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they"re being stared at.If people doubt
the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, "I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for
themselves."
B. show how people act while being watched in the lab
C. study whether humans can sense when they are stared at
D. prove why humans have a sixth sense
B. lost their sense when they were stared at
C. were not sure when they would be stared at
D. were uncomfortable when they were stared at
B. result
C. performance
D. connection
B. The experiments support parapsychologists"idea.
C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.
D. People have a sixth sense in public places.
need to read different kinds of English. This book provides not only different kinds of English but also a
good way to check your reading ability.
There are four parts in the book:
Part 1 is Messages: In this part somebody wants to send information in writing to somebody else. There
is a test on timetable and a test on text messages.
Part 2 is People: In this part all the tests are about people. For example, there is an informal letter between
friends. There is formal (正式的) English in biography (传记). There is a job application as a model to help
with your writing, as well as testing your reading.
Part 3 is Places: In this part, too, many different kinds of English are shown, some informal and some
formal. There is the informal English of a holiday postcard. There is also the formal English in a letter of
complaint.
Part 4 is Things: You will find some descriptive writing in this part. There are descriptions of clothes
and of a computer.
You can do these tests in any order you like, or you can do all the tests with a formal or informal text.
I enjoyed writing this book and I hope you enjoy using it.

California. "Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course." These young scientists
are part of City Building Educational Program (CBEP), a particular program for kindergarten through
twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading, writing and math skills, and
more.
The children don"t just plan any city. They map and analyze (分析) the housing, energy, and
transportation requirements of their own district and foretell its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an
architect (建筑师) who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs
and build models of their creations. " Designing building of the future gives children a lot of freedom,"
says the teacher who developed this program."They are able to use their own rich imagination and
inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as
the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected "official" and "planning group"
make all the design decisions for the model city, and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser."
CBEP is a test of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for
problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the
children"s own standards.
B. to train young scientists for city planning
C. to develop children"s problem-solving abilities
D. to help young architects know more about designing
B. to discuss with the teacher
C. to give children lectures
D. to help kids with their program
B. An architect
C. A teacher
D. A scientist
B. they have new ideas and rich imagination
C. they are given enough time to design models
D. they need not worry about making mistakes
