【推荐1】Many people go to school for education. School education is very important and useful ,but no one can learn everything from school. a teacher ,no matter how much he knows,he cannnot teach his student everything .His work is to show his students how to learn .He teaches them how to read and how to think . So much more is to be learned outside school by students themselves.
It’s always more important to know how to learn by oneself than to learn some facts or formulas （公式）by heart.It’s quite easy to learn some facts in history or a formula in maths ,but it’s very difficult to use them. Edison and Einstein didn’t get everything from school,but they were all successful. They invented so many things.

Sun Jiarui, a 10-year-old girl from Outang Central Primary School in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, recently becomes famous online for her cooking skills. Sun, who has been learning to cook from her father since she was eight, can now cook more than 50 dishes. The Outang Central Primary School has also gotten Sun and her father to promote the cooking arts to the students.
China’s Ministry of Education has issued the Life Skills Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education (2022 edition) (《义务教育劳动课程标准(2022 年版)》). In the coming term in September, primary and secondary school students in China will find a new “practical activities” course(劳动课) in their schedule, with at least one class every week.
The new course has three types of tasks: everyday housework, including cleaning, organizing, cooking, and using and repairing home appliances; productive labor, including traditional handicrafts; and volunteer work.
Primary school students will be asked to understand and master the basics of home cooking, from preparing vegetables to finally being able to complete the whole process of home cooking by themselves.
News that primary and secondary school students will learn cooking from September became one of the top trending topics on Sina Weibo, attracting more than 300 million views.
“This reminds me of my life skills class in primary school. I learned to make dumplings and do simple needlework,” one Weibo user commented. “These will be lifelong skills for these kids, helping them develop into well-rounded grown-ups, not just students who are able to take exams,” said another user.
As part of the “double reduction” policy(双减政策) aiming to reduce homework and time spent on after-school private tutoring, life skills education has become a new highlight of education reform.
A Beijing-based educational expert said that education should pay attention to “the progress of individual students” and a change in priority from “the evaluation of results to the process”. “We should use comprehensive assessment to observe each student’s growth and progress, instead of just focusing on exams,” said the expert.

| B．Because she will teach students cooking skills at school. |

【推荐3】In order to push students to study at home as efficiently (有效地) as they do in the classroom, one school in Shijiazhuang has required that students should attend their online courses in their school uniforms and that teachers should also, give their lessons while wearing formal clothing. As soon as this rule was announced, it caused a heated argument .
On the one hand, wearing proper clothing can help improve students’ sense of formality (仪式感) in their online classes, so making them more attentive. If all of them were dressed in their pyjamas (睡衣) at their schools, the quality of the lessons will perhaps decline (下降) as teenagers might easily become absent-minded and even feel sleepy. Therefore, the act of putting on one’s uniform while attending online classes can perhaps be quite effective as subconscious (潜意识的) reminder that they are students.
The other viewpoint is that students’ learning is their own business: Sooner or later they should be tasked with the responsibility of their own self-control. Therefore, taking online courses at home is the best chance for them to develop their ability of learning by themselves and good learning habits. The effect depends on their own self-discipline (自律), so the argument about what kind of clothes they are dressed in shouldn’t really be relevant.
To sum up, when we are studying at home on computers, it is both our sense of self-control and formality that can improve our studies. So it’s a matter of personal preference—You can wear a school uniform if it is of use to your own sense of learning and discipline, otherwise, you shouldn’t be required to show unwilling respect for your teachers and school by being forced to wear a uniform.
1. Which is the reason why people support wearing school uniforms while attending online courses ?| A．Students don’t have formal clothing except school uniforms. |
| B．Online classes will make students absent-minded and even feel sleepy. |
| C．School uniforms can subconsciously remind students to study effectively. |
| D．If students wear informal clothes in class, teachers can’t ensure the quality of lessons. |
| A．The importance of self-discipline. |
| B．The comparison between school uniforms and informal clothes. |
| C．The argument about what kind of clothes students should wear. |
| D．The reason why students don’t have to wear school uniforms at home. |
| A．The author insists on forcing students to wear uniforms. |
| B．The author thinks it up to students whether to wear school uniforms at home. |
| C．The author thinks it unnecessary for students to wear school uniforms at home. |
| D．The author supports students to wear school uniforms while attending online courses. |

【推荐2】Mark Levine is from the US. He has been living in Beijing for 15 years.
Before coming to China, he heard that China is a country with 56 ethnic groups (民族). But like many Americans, he didn’t quite get what it’s like. “In the United States people often don’t understand the idea of China as a multi-ethnic (多民族的) country,” Levine said.
Now Levine teaches English at Minzu University of China. In his class, he sees students from so many ethnic groups, such as Han, Tibetan, Uygur, Miao, Tujia, Bouyei, Zhuang and so on.As Levine sees in his classes, they study together. After class, they play, eat and shop together. It’s different from what he sees in Western media (媒体). “What I see is a commonality (共性) and common interests,” he said.
For many years, Levine volunteered at the university’s Museum of Ethnic Cultures. He learned more about ethnic groups from the exhibits (展品) and even from his students.
Mark Levine is a musician. The most recent song he wrote is called My China Surprise. In the song, he says, “My China Surprise, you can see it in my eyes. It’s the light that shines in them wherever I go.”

【推荐3】Rupert Isaacson was born in Africa, and grew up in London and in the English countryside, where he discovered his love for horses. Because he grew up hearing so many fascinating memories about Africa from his parents, he went there and lived with the people called the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert.
By the year 2000, Rupert was already working as a reporter, writing articles and guidebooks about Africa and India. He met his wife Kristin in India. Today, they live with their son, Rowan, in the US. But Rupert faced the greatest challenge of his life when, at the age of two, Rowan was diagnosed(诊断) with an illness that influenced his ability to communicate with others.
Rupert discovered that spending time with horses and riding them was helping Rowan. But unluckily, the Bushmen of the Kalahari do not have horses. So the family set out for Mongolia, where horses have been important for long. Rupert has written about this journey to help his son in his book The Horse Boy, and he has produced a documentary of the same name. In the film, people have the chances to see the family traveling in Mongolia, riding horses and meeting healers(治疗师) in order to help Rowan.

Besides writing another book, The Long Ride Home, about traveling with Rowan to Africa, Australia and Ari-zona in the US, Rupert has also produced the documentary Endangerous, with Rowan as host, about dangerous animals that are endangered.
