To contain the spread of Covid-19, the authorities have closed schools and universities.But＂study must not stop", says the education ministry.Under its orders, the country's biggest exercise in remote learning is under way, watched over by parents.Mr Lin, who lives in the eastern city of Hangzhou, has caught his son being distracted by online games.He wants his son to know that he will inspect the browser for evidence of such naughtiness.

There are other ways to enforce discipline.Liu Weihua, who teaches at Wuhan University of Technology,places more emphasis on how students perform in classroom discussions, which are conducted using video-conferencing platforms such as Dingtalk by Alibaba and Ketang by Tencent.

In poor rural areas, where some households lack internet access, instruction by television fills the gap.Since February 17th China Education Network, a state-run service,has been broadcasting classes every weekday from 8 a.m.to 10 p.m.The first lesson of the day is aimed at pupils in the first year of primary school.Programmes for older children air in the afternoon and evening.All core subjects,such as mathematics and Chinese,are covered.

The interruption is felt most keenly by pupils in the final year of secondary school.That is the year leading up to the gaokao, the university-entrance exam.Many parents feared that online learning is a poor substitute for classroom instruction.Hou Kaixuan, who will sit the gaokao in the northern city of Zhangjiakou this summer, eagerly waits for the re-opening of his school.“I'm simply more productive in a physical classroom,” he says.

When schools and universities eventually re-open, classrooms may be different, says Yue Qiu, a secondary-school teacher in Beijing.The teacher-student relationship will become “less hierarchical(等级分明的）”，he predicts.That is because China's extended experiment' with online learning is reducing the typical reserve(矜持）between instructor and pupil.Teachers who were previously reluctant to give out their contact details on WeChat, a messaging app, now rely on it to respond to students' questions.At Mr Yue's school, students may even call their teachers to ask for feedback.If he is right, such a breaking-down of barriers could be one of the few happy byproducts of Covid-19.

2. In Hou Kaixuan's opinion, online classes can be described as

【推荐2】Have you ever been really hungry, but there wasn’t much to eat in your kitchen? Did you throw together a bunch of stuff you had on hand and were pleasantly surprised when it tasted good? You aren’t alone. Some of our favorite foods were created by accident. Here’s a sample menu of two familiar foods that would never have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake.

POTATO CHIPS

One of the world’s favorite snacks is the result of a complaint. In 1853, a man was eating dinner at Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, New York. He ordered fried potatoes, a popular side dish. But when they came out of the kitchen, he didn’t think they were crispy enough. He sent them hack to the kitchen, where Chef George Crum was so angry at having his cooking criticized that he sliced(切成薄片)the potatoes really thin, put lots of salt on them, and fried them. Not only did the diner love them, but everyone else did, too. They soon became a specialty of the restaurant.

TOFU

Tofu or bean curd is made by curdling (使凝结的) fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid block and then cooling it. Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2, 000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk, which made it curdle. This is the same process that is used for making cheese. Like cheese, tofu is a great example of how really messing up(搞砸) a recipe can create something unexpectedly good.

1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The company that invented cheese got its inspiration from Tofu.

B．Chef George Crum didn’t like to criticize others’ cooking.

C．Potato chips are only popular among Americans.

D．Tofu dates back 2, 000 years in China.

【推荐3】When it comes to bucket-list(遗愿清单) adventures, swimming with sharks is near the top for a lot of adrenaline junkies. Many of the adventures on the list require scuba diving, but at some locations, even non-divers with a desire to get up close and personal with the top of the food chain can jump in and face their fears.

Bahamas

I don't want to scare the non-shark lovers away from the beauty of the Bahamas, but there are sharks out there. From least scary to the most, here's where to get your Bahamian shark fix.

Compass Cay Marina is home to a large number of well-fed, friendly nurse sharks. In case you don't know it, a nurse shark is more like a giant catfish than a great white. You can walk right into the shallow water near the fish-cleaning station and pet these gentle guys.

Stuart Cove's in Nassau has been doing shark dives safely for decades. Caribbean reef sharks feed on fish-on-a-stick as divers kneel in the sand in awe. Reef sharks are some of the least aggressive species of shark.

As your fear subsides and you crave more sharks and more excitement, check out the folks at Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures in Fort Lauderdale. They operate live-aboard dive boats with regularly scheduled shark trips in the Bahamas. Expect to see tigers and hammerheads, as well as the Caribbean reef sharks.

Hawaii

There are several shark species in the Pacific waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. Sightings of tigers, hammerheads, blues, and even great whites are not all that uncommon.

And While divers can expect to see these guys almost anywhere while diving in Hawaii, the Oahu's North Shore is the place to be for cage diving. Hawaii Shark Encounters takes shark education seriously and strives to educate customers about the need for shark conservation while providing a thrilling swim with sharks inside the safety of a cage. No diving skills are required－just bring your courage.

Fiji

Scuba diving in Fiji is a definite bucket-list adventure for many divers－and the fish many hope to see most is shark. Beqa Adventure Divers can make that happen for you. Sharks are protected in the Shark Reef Marine Reserve, so no worries about questionable practices. This is an uncaged dive, but per the company's website, it is a carefully managed feed, where participants observe, but do not interact(互动) with the sharks.

Guadalupe Island

Home to a large population of great whites, the waters off the Mexico's Baja coast, attract divers willing to brave cold Pacific waters for some time in a cage watching the top fish of the ocean

Nautilus Live Aboards operates six-day adventures from July to November using submersible(能在水下操作的) cages that descend to about 9 meters for a better opportunity to observe the sharks. You meet the expedition in San Diego, motor to Ensenada, cruise to Guadalupe, then spend three full days in the cages watching the predators. Non-divers are allowed, as air is supplied by hoses attached to the boat, but a minimum of a Discover Scuba course is recommended.
