A master (大师) of English education in China, Chen Lin just celebrated his 100th birthday on April 30, 2022. Chen has spent his whole life on English education.
In 1950, Chen started teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU). He was known as the “Professor of Three Ups”. He always put importance on “standing up” and “speaking up” in his classes. He always stood to teach and talked loudly. When class was over, he would “shut up” at once.
Chen’s good teaching impressed students. Li Jinzhao, one of Chen’s students and a teacher at BFSU now, said Chen likes role-playing and singing to make the class active. It was different from the “teacher speaks, students listen” style of the time. He also encouraged students to speak more and practice more.
In 1999, Chen led experts to make English curriculum standards (课程标准). Before that, English teaching objectives from primary school to university didn’t connect well with each other. But the standards changed it. Then, English education worked like “one package (一条龙)”. He also wrote the first set of textbooks to carry out the new standards.
After leaving his job, Chen keeps on working. He reads and writes about how to improve English teaching. “I have been a teacher all my, life, and I want to be an English teacher again in my next life.” Chen said.

【推荐2】Emma Watson, 26, brings her childhood Disney character to life. The British actress played the beautiful girl Belle in Disney’s new live-action movie Beauty and the Beast(野兽). She also sang for the role, the first time she has done so in her career. The movie came out in China on March 17. Originally an animation film, it tells how a cursed man-beast is changed into a handsome prince by the love of Belle.
To play the lead role in Beauty and the Beast, Watson turned down the offer of La La Land, which won six awards besides the Best Actress at this year’s Oscars. However, she does not regret it. She told Vanity Fair that she believes the movie says something that is important for people to hear.
This is not her first time being invited to play a Disney princess. She refused the offer to play Cinderella. But she happily took on Belle because she saw her as a better role model. Belle doesn’t mind Beast’s ugly appearance and sees his good heart within. “She remains curious, compassionate (有同情心) and open-minded,” she told Total Film. “She’s not easily swayed by other people’s ideas.”
But to build her own version of Belle, Watson had a hand in shaping the character. She wanted Belle to be busy instead of just playing in the castle all day. So she had the idea of turning Belle into an inventor, like her father. And Belle even made a washing machine herself, though people broke it. She wanted it to free girls from chores (杂务) and allow them to learn how to read. She told Entertainment Weekly that people who broke the washing machine was symbolic (象征的) of people who broke Belle’s spirit and pushed her to become the woman they wanted her to be.
1. According to the passage, what does the movie Beauty and the Beast tell us?| A．The reason why the beast has an ugly appearance. |
| B．Beauties always fall in love with the ugly beasts easily. |
| C．Belle loves the beast and doesn’t care about his appearance. |
| D．A cursed man-beast is changed into a handsome prince by love. |
| A．Because she refused to play Cinderella. |
| B．Because she had no chance to play in La La land. |
| C．Because she saw Belle as a better role model. |
| D．Because she thought the movie was important for people. |
| A．Because they thought the machine was useless. |
| B．Because they had an idea of turning her into an inventor. |
| C．Because they wanted to push her to be the woman they liked. |
| D．Because they wanted her to be busy instead of playing in the castle. |

It is difficult for parents to teach their children to help with the housework.
Shatian School in Shanghai is making its students do housework for their parents. It’s their homework. The third graders must learn how to make the bed, the sixth graders wash the clothes, and the seventh and the eighth graders cook meals.
Many parents think it’s a good way for children to try the housework, but they don’t know how to teach their children to do it at home. With the following ideas, you can really get your children to help at home.
If you want to make your children think that they can do everything quite right, please don’t scold (批评) them but often give them praise (表扬) at home. Talk more about what they do right, not about what they do wrong. If your children finish some difficult work, give them a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad as a reward (奖励).
1. A sixth grader must learn to cook meals.2. Parents should give praise often when the children do the housework.

【推荐3】Zengzi, also called Zeng Shen, became a good student of Confucius (孔子) when he was 16.
Early one morning, Zengzi’s wife left for the market. Her little son wanted to go with her. But he was too young and the market was too far.
Then she cheated her son, “I will be back soon. You stay at home and wait for me. If you do as I say, I will kill a pig and make a nice dish for you.” The child went back to the house happily.
When Zengzi’s wife got back from the market, she showed no sign of killing a pig. So Zengzi himself prepared to do that, but his wife rushed to prevent him and said, “Don’t do that. I just cheated the child.”
“Honesty is the most important thing,” Zengzi said. “Children are like blank pieces of paper. They understand nothing but they can learn from their parents’ actions. Because you have cheated your son, he won’t trust you anymore. In the future he will cheat others.”
Hearing her husband’s words, Zengzi’s wife regretted cheating the child. So she wanted to keep her word. She joined Zengzi in killing the pig, and cooked nice dishes for the child. While eating, the boy was happy and thankful to his parents.
One evening, when the child went to bed, he suddenly got up and ran outside. Zengzi asked him where he was going. The boy replied, “I promised I was going to return a toy to a friend today. But I forgot, so I am going to return it now.” The couple exchanged satisfied smiles, and waited until the boy came back.

【推荐1】Once there was a famine (饥荒) in the town. A rich and kind baker sent some bread to twenty of the poorest children. He said to them, “In this basket there is a loaf (一条面包) for each of you. Take it, and come back to me every day at this hour till we live through this famine.”
The impatient children couldn’t wait to gather around the basket. They shouted and fought for the bread because each wished to have the largest loaf. At last they went away without even thanking the good gentleman. But Shirley, a poorly-dressed little girl, did not join them. Instead, remained modestly in the distance, she took the smallest loaf left in the basket, kissed the gentleman’s hand and went home.
The next day the children were as rude as before. Poor shy Shirley still took the smallest loaf. When she got home, her mother cut the bread open. Many new shining pieces of silver fell out of it. Her mother was very surprised and said, “Take the money back to the good gentleman at once, Shirley! Be quick!”
But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother’s message, he said, “No, my child. It was no mistake. I put silver into the smallest loaf to reward (回报，奖赏) you because you are a kind and honest girl. Go home, and tell your mother that the money is your own.”

【推荐2】Hello, everyone. Nice to meet you. My name is Nana. I’m from Jinhua, Zhejiang Province. Our school is doing a very meaningful thing. When you can’t finish your school lunch, will you throw away the leftovers（吃剩的食物）?But in my school, students don’t want to waste food like this. This term, we start a “Clear Your Plate” campaign at school.
Our school gives a set meal to everyone for lunch. In my class, when we have lunch, we often “share” to save food. For example, if I don’t feel like eating anything or there is one dish I don’t like, I can use serving chopsticks（公筷）to give some of my food to a classmate who has a bigger appetite（胃口）or likes the dish. We are happy that we can reduce food waste in this way. Every day, our teacher eats lunch with us in our dining hall. She always says, “Treasuring（珍惜）food is a good eating habit.” Now, all of us students can finish our lunches.
What else can we do to help save food? I think we can do a lot more. For example:
Don’t buy more than you need.
Tell your parents not to cook more than your family are going to eat.
Finish your food before it goes bad.

【推荐3】More and more advertisements(广告)appear on the Web. You have to be careful not to trick by the advertisements on the Internet. Something is said to be a bargain, but it isn't always cheap. And some so-called new things just have a new outside(外表).
But, shopping online is a kind of fashionable (时尚的) thing today. I love to buy things of everyday use, so I often get lots of information about them on websites online. For example, if I want an MP3 player, I can choose my favorite one, and look for what the users like or don't like about it, then choose whether to buy or not. And at the same time, you don't have to go to a shop or walk around a shopping area, so you don't have to waste(浪费)much time. The Internet is really useful for shopping, but be careful not to spend too much.
