I’m Dave. Some of my classmates are talking in the classroom.
Mike: My grandparents live on a farm. I went there with Carol—my sister. We stayed for seven days. The weather was usually sunny, so most of the time I played outside with Carol. On the farm, we milked cows, fed chickens and rode horses. We had a lot of fun. I think my trip was great.
Jack: I went to Shanghai with my parents. I wanted to visit some museums, but my parents wanted to go shopping. I didn’t like going shopping. So I stayed in the hotel and watched TV all day. It was really a boring trip.
Eric: I think the best place for a holiday is the beach. I went to Sanya with my brother last year. The sand there was white, and it looked very beautiful. We built a big house with it. We swam and enjoyed the sunshine. We ate many kinds of seafood. They were delicious. The trip was great. I hope I can visit there again one day.

【推荐2】Ireland (爱尔兰) is an old and beautiful country in the west of Europe, not far from England. My best friend and I made our trip there a year ago. At the beginning, I wasn’t very excited about the trip. But my uncle wanted me to go and he agreed to pay for my trip. Then I agreed.
When we got there, we stayed in a castle (城堡) in Dublin for two days. We enjoyed ourselves when we were in the town Kilkenny.

In Cobh, we enjoyed shopping in some little shops. And we never had any bad food there. Later we moved to the Trim Castle and knew that people made many famous films there. We were so excited and we took many beautiful photos there.

【推荐2】It is a hot summer day. Clara is drinking juice in the yard. Her mom is cutting grass with a lawnmower (割草机). The lawnmower is loud, and Clara wishes her mom would play with her instead. But mom says the grass is very long and has to be cut.
Suddenly, the lawnmower stops. Clara’s mom looks upset. Clara wonders what is wrong. Her mom picks something up out of the grass, and walks to Clara.
Clara’s mom has a little turtle in her hand! As Clara looks closer, she sees that one leg is in bad shape. “I think I broke its leg,” Clara’s mom says. “I’m really sorry. Will you help me nurse it back to health?”
Clara feels bad for the little turtle. Turtles move slowly, so it probably could not run away when it saw the lawnmower coming. And Clara’s mom could not see it in the long grass! It was a mistake, but Clara and her mom will make it right. Clara names the turtle Phillip.
They take Phillip to the vet. The vet takes an X-ray of Phillip’s leg, and makes sure that it is broken. The turtle gets a little splint(夹板)and bandage. The vet tells Clara that the turtle needs plants to eat, water to drink and a place to live in. Clara and her mom buy a small tank (水箱) for Phillip on the way home.
At home, Clara takes good care of Phillip. She puts water and rocks in the tank. She brings him fruit and leaves to eat, and keeps his tank clean.
After eight weeks, Clara and her mom take Phillip back to the vet, who says that his leg is healthy again. Clara is both happy and sad. Happy because Phillip is better, but sad because she has to let him go. When Clara gets home, she feeds Phillip some fruit, kisses his back and says goodbye, then lets him go in the yard. Clara will always remember Phillip.

【推荐3】An unhappy horse went to see the God. “My God! Thanks for making me but I want to be more beautiful.” The God was very surprised. “You are already beautiful.”

【推荐1】Many young people like eating chocolates. They are very delicious. Many people also know something about 3D technology (技术). And the 3D technology is changing our lives. Today I will tell you something about both of them.
A company 3D-prints (3D打印) all kinds of chocolates. These chocolates are colorful and healthy.
They also have different shapes. Some are like bears, some are like dogs and others are like horses. But people can't buy them in any supermarket at the moment.
The company is from Belgium (比利时). And it is a very famous company. Because the chocolates are hard to transport (运送), the company wants to open lots of shops around the world.

【推荐1】How do you feel when your teacher asks you to work on a group project with other students? Do you like to work together with others or work alone?
The Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA, carried out a survey of students' ability to work together in groups. They found that students who do well on tests by themselves are also likely to be better at working with other people.
This finding was true for many countries. Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, where test scores are high, also did well in working together to solve problems. But this was not the case for every country. Chinese students, who tend(趋向)to have high scores as well, displayed just average collaborative(合作的)skills.
“One reason might be that Chinese parents and teachers focus too much on grades, ”said Zhao Zhongxin, former vice president of the Chinese Family Education Association.“Students have a lot of exam pressure and they view school as a place for competition.”
“However, collaborative skills are very important for preparing students for today's society, ”he added.“Luckily, more Chinese parents and teachers are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve this skill.”
Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls tend to be better than boys at working together. They said girls show more positive attitudes toward relationships, which means they are more willing to listen to others' opinions.
PISA also found that the classroom environment tends to influence how well students collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that require communication, such as class debates, students tend to have better attitudes toward collaborating.
1. Which of the following is NOT one of the survey's findings?A.Those who do well on tests are also better at working with others. |
B.Collaborative skills are more important than scores for students' futures. |
C.Girls are better at working with others than boys. |
D.The classroom environment can influence students' ability to work in groups. |
A.Give students high scores on every test. | B.Help students to get used to exam pressure. |
C.Make girls work with girls instead of boys. | D.Arrange more communicative activities in class. |
A.How to improve collaborative skills. |
B.Who tend to cooperate in working. |
C.The result of a survey on students' collaborative ability. |
D.The process of a survey on students' collaborative ability. |

Reid tried to draw a sports car like Peter’s. But no pictures looked good. He hated them and threw them away.
“Is there a secret to being a good artist? ” he felt sad and asked his teacher Mrs. Lee for help. “Yes, of course.” said Mrs. Lee. “Draw that car again. No throwing away. Give it to me when you’ re done. Then do a drawing every day. Don’t worry about how bad the drawings are or throw them away. Hand in one picture to me each day for four weeks. Then I’ll tell you the secret.”
Reid did as the teacher told him.
One day, Reid started to feel like drawing more. “Is it OK to do more than one picture a day?” he asked. “Draw as much as you’d like,” said Mrs. Lee.
Finally, four weeks passed. “It’s time for the secret.” Mrs. Lee said, “But first I want you to do one more drawing.” Reid did. He showed it to Mrs. Lee when he finished. Mrs. Lee smiled and showed him the drawing he did the first day. Reid looked the two pictures. What a difference! The new one wasn’t perfect, but it looked much like Peter’s car.
“What’s the secret?” he asked.
“It’s practice! You drew every day, and look how much better your pictures got. If your work improved this much in four weeks, just think what will happen in three months or a year.”
“Would you hold on to these for another four weeks? I want to keep learning the secret.” said Reid.
