In Germany（德国）, if children want to ride bikes by themselves on the road, they have to pass a test. The test is quite like our driving test.
First, the students have 30 classes about how to ride bikes safely on the road. Each student has a book. The book tells them how to keep safe on the road, how to keep others safe and what to do if they get hurt. Here is a picture from the book. It tells the students the right way to turn left.
After the classes, the students will have two written tests. Then, they will do some riding practice at school. Some policemen will come to give them some help.
At last, the students will have a test on the road. If they can pass the test, they can get a bike license (执照）. Then they can ride on the road.
We all know German people are very careful. We can see this from their riding test for the students. The students learn useful riding skills, and at the same time, they learn the spirit（精神）of the country.

When using the New York (NY) subway, tourists going to New York City (NYC) may seem confused (困惑的). In fact, it is quite simple if you have known how to use it. Each NY subway station has a NYC subway map which is easy to use, explaining all the NY subway routes and schedules (时刻表).
Also NY subway stations are easy to find. Here is some more advice for you if you’re planning on using the NYC subway during your next vacation there.

NYC subway passengers can get anywhere from $4.50 to $100 on one card of this type.

【推荐1】Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. "I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?" he said to Mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is "OK", but often he gets "You can do better than this." Mum knows what it means. She tells me "You can do better than this" means "Extremely bad" in China.
In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is "Please be nicer tomorrow". Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.
But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6thgrader in the USA! Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked hard enough.
Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.
1. Why did Ted come home with a letter last Friday ?
| A．Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother. |
| B．Because he did something wrong. |
| C．Because the teacher was happy with his progress. |
| D．Because the teacher thought he was too lazy. |
| A．excited | B．sad | C．angry | D．happy |
| A．很高的待遇 | B．很多的自由 |
| C．很高的期望 | D．很多的关爱 |
| A．the differences between Chinese education and American education |
| B．Chinese students are better than American students |
| C．American parents are not strict enough with their children |
| D．what the best way to educate children is |
【推荐2】Imagine that in a future classroom a girl sits down for a test. Her exam paper is made by an artificial intelligence (AI)（人工智能）model based on her own learning. When she finishes her paper, she hands her paper to her teacher, who uses another AI model to grade the paper. Based on the result, a new learning plan is made for the student according to her strengths and weaknesses. This is personalized（个性化的）education at its best.
Could this be the future of AI in education? It is certainly possible. With the development of high technology, the dream about the AI classroom will come true even faster than we expected. However, it also puts a question: How can AI help students improve their schoolwork?
AI can use historical information to create personalized learning plans according to students’ performances. The plans allow students to learn at their own speed and in their own way.
AI can easily catch expressions on students’ faces. When students get into trouble, AI models can make a mark. Even before they start to show signs of trouble, AI models can make correct predictions. At the same time, AI models can provide methods of solving problems and improving learning plans quickly.
What’s more, AI can create the special program for those who have difficulty in learning. One example of a company developing AI to improve the learning experience is Nuance. It created Dragon Speech Recognition technology. With the support of voice recognition（识别）, AI allows students to complete tasks only by speaking. This offers a chance to those who have difficulty in writing.
The role of AI in education will become more and more important. In the near future, we will see an AI classroom. It can not only create personalized learning plans but also use technology to predict results. Education will be personalized to a student’s advantage, bringing a more enjoyable learning experience for all students.
1. The purpose of Paragraph 1 is to ________.| A．increase students’ worry about tests | B．explain why learning plans are necessary |
| C．introduce personalized education to readers | D．show students how meaningful the AI model is |
| A．make good use of learning plans | B．describe different kinds of expressions |
| C．mark and predict trouble by expressions | D．keep students away from the possible problems |
| A．AI can improve students’ writing skills | B．AI can offer the service to special students |
| C．students can easily complete tasks with AI | D．voice recognition makes a difference to education |
| A．The role of AI in education | B．The influence of AI models |
| C．The AI classroom in the future | D．Many different kinds of AI models |
【推荐3】Hou Changliang volunteered to teach at Xiangyang Primary School in a remote village in Yunnan Province in August 2017. It is the third village school that Hou has taught at since he graduated from Hunan University of Arts and Science in 2011.
“The longer I stayed in the countryside, the more deeply I understood the challenges in rural(乡村的) education. Rural schools need teachers, especially good ones,” Hou says, adding that a good teacher can make a real difference in a student’s life and can even change a village.
When it comes to helping develop rural education, the first thing most people think of is to give away things, such as desks, books, clothing and even money. However, Hou says, “No matter how many advanced facilities(先进的设施) a school has, it is teachers who guide students. No matter how many wonderful books are given away, it is teachers who guide students to read. If there are no teachers, computers are just decorations and some students even use pages from books as toilet paper.”
On a video sharing-platform, Hou posts images of his everyday life with students, which have drawn more than 300,000 followers. “What I can do is limited(有限的). Through social media, I hope that my story can not only make more people understand and support rural education, but also encourage other rural teachers like me,” Hou says. “There is still a long way to go to improve the level of rural education,”

【推荐2】Erika and Samaria were excited because they were going to the beach.
Samaria told Erika all about the paddleboat (脚踏船). “I’d like to paddle to the deep part of the sea and jump into the water,” said Samaria. Erika felt a little sad. She did not know how to swim. She did not know that Samaria was so brave.
