【推荐2】One morning, Wu Liang discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was so excited about it for the first two days that she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement. “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”
Li Yu liked it, too. “Group members first discuss,” he said, “and then present to the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” This was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to offer students easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes to improve students’ abilities to study by themselves and work in groups,” said Zhang Ming, an English teacher.
However, the reform has demanded more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give a lesson that would have been taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.
“The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,” added Zhang Ming.
1. It was easier for Wu Liang to ________ in class after the new classroom arrangement.A.discuss with other students | B.sit in the classroom |

【推荐2】Best Campgrounds in U.S. National Parks
Gold Bluffs Beach Campground, Redwood National & State Park, CA
The remote campground is located about 6 miles up unpaved Davison Road. This is a small campground, though, with only 26 sites. So you’ll need to book your site well in advance. As far as facilities go, there are solar showers, barbecues and fire pits, picnic tables and food lockers-more than enough for a remote camping adventure. Note that the first part of Davison Road is very steep and winding. Large RVs(房车)are prohibited on this road.
Nightly rate: $35
Watchman Campground, Zion National Park, UT
There are five different loops(圈): Loop A and B have electric campsites, while the C and D are tent-only. Loop E is where the group sites are. Note, however, that this campground is extremely popular. Reservations are absolutely recommended from March through November. The off-season, on the other hand, offers first-come, first-served camping.
Nightly rate: $30 for an electric site; $20 for a tent-only site
Pi ñon Flats Campground, Great Sand Dunes National Park, CO
As an International Dark Sky Park, Great Sand Dunes is also a great place to see the Milky Way and amazing views of North America’s tallest sand dunes. It is popular among children and adults alike. Renting a sled or sand board for an afternoon of fun —you’ll feel like a kid again. Sites can accommodate both RVs and tents.
Nightly rate: $20
Painted Desert, Petrified Forest National Park, AZ
It’s a fantastic place to put up a tent. This is free camping, wild camping. The only thing you have to do to camp there is to get a permit in person at the Painted Desert Visitor Center. Once you’re a mile from the trail head, you’re free to set up tents wherever you want. Remember to obey the Leave No Trace principles, though! Of course, there are no facilities in this desert wilderness. So, you’ll need to pack everything you need, from water and food to other supplies.
