Robot teachers are now very popular with pupils in some primary schools in South Korea.    1    （compare）with human teachers, the robot teachers are more patient. They never get angry and are always kind to the students. That’s    2    the children can always get on well with their robot teachers.

English-teaching robots    3    （send）to three primary schools for eight weeks last December. Equipped    4    a microphone and video cameras, the robots teach students as teachers. Researchers found that the English-teaching robots helped raise students’ interests in the language and build up their    5    （confident）. More and more students came to like studying and they got    6    （good）grades in exams. Meanwhile,    7    robot teachers, which can teach math, science and art, have also been developed.

Mary people think the root teachers should be used in faraway village schools so that the children there can also receive    8    good education. To give rural school children more learning chances, the South Korean government has expressed great interest in developing these robots. No doubt there will be more and more robot teachers    9    （work）with students. Perhaps they will    10    （complete）take the position of human teachers one day in the future. Who knows?

The College Entrance Exam, also known as Gaokao, is one of the most influential tests scheduled     1     June 6^th to 8^th. For this, Chinese students are separated into Science and Liberal Art at high school, a practice that allows them to stay     2    (compete) in the College Entrance Examination by choosing preferred subjects. However, thing began to change when the policy of College Entrance Exam Reform     3    (publish).

And now, an ongoing reform of China’s college entrance exam and enrolling system,     4     which students used to be selected for their performance on a single test,     5    (extend) to cover more provinces in China since 2018, according to the Ministry of Education.

In 2018, the reform was expanded to eight provincial-level     6    (region), namely Hebei, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Fujian, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and Chongqing, where Year-1 high school students     7    (start) from fall 2018 needed to prepare for the change.

It brought the total number of regions implementing the reform     8     14, according to the ministry.

With the reform, the new selection and enrollment rules may differ slightly from region to region. In northern China's Hebei Province, students will only have to sit the annual national college entrance test for three subjects, Chinese language, math and foreign language     9     (include). Their performances during high school academic tests will also serve as measurable indicators. Their results in the comprehensive quality evaluation throughout the high school will be used as     10     reference.

It’s early February, the beginning     1    a new semester here at Yale.

I’ve just chosen my elective courses and my schedule has been set: Five classes this time. It wasn’t an easy decision, but     2    (lucky), I made it.

Elective courses are important for American students     3    a certain number of them are required for graduation. Even at a place like Yale, where more than 2,000 courses     4    (offer) each semester, picking courses can be a long and annoying process.

At US schools, whether a student gets into a class     5    (depend) on several factors. Graduating seniors who need to take certain courses for their major are almost always given top priority(优先). Freshmen, on the other hand, get to make a     6    (choose) about their courses last. Another factor is one’s major,     7    this is not always the case. Most professors give priority to students majoring in their department, since many majors require students to take a certain number of electives (选修课)     8    (graduate).

However, some professors prefer to see some variety in their class makeup as it makes far more     9    (interest) discussions. Variety in backgrounds helps to create exciting and sometimes even heated class discussions.

At Yale, most students end up     10    (get) most of the courses they want.
