The Animal School Adapted from a work by George H. Reavis Once upon a time, the animals decided to organize a school. They adopted a curriculum consisting of running, climbing, swimming and flying. To make it easier to administer(管理), all the animals took all the subjects. The duck was excellent in swimming, but he made only passing grades in flying and was very poor in running. So, he had to stay after school and also drop swimming in order to practice running. This was kept up until his webbed feet were badly hurt and he was only average in swimming. The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he developed disappointment in the flying class where his teacher made him start from the ground up instead of from the treetop down. He also got a D in running. The eagle was a problem child. In the climbing class he beat all the others to the top of the tree, but insisted on using his own way to get there… |
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, schools across the country have put off opening. For more than two months, students have been taking online classes at home.
Su Hua: I am required to attend online classes every day and I always listen attentively to what teachers instruct. As to questions put forward by teachers, I try to answer and talk to myself, even when teachers can’t hear my voice. I can complete daily online homework as expected. Sometimes, food, or other things distract me, but I can put them away. I feel content with my everyday progress. I think the best way to learn efficiently during the extended holiday is to manage myself effectively. |
Li Jiang: My parents have said I attend online classes every day, but do not pay attention at all. I can’t resist the temptation to play games with smartphones. Thus, it is difficult for me to finish assignments on my own. Last week, when I went back to school to take the first exam, the results were not satisfying. I feel regretful for wasting so much time but I couldn’t control myself. The root cause may lie in lack of self-discipline. |

“The National College Entrance Examination will be postponed for a month to July 7 and 8 due to the novel coronavirus outbreak,” the Ministry of Education said.
Wang Hui, director of the ministry’s Department of College Students Affairs, said the postponement is mainly to ensure students’ safety and the fairness of the exam. More than 10.7 million students have signed up to participate in this year’s Gaokao, up by 400,000 from last year, Wang said at a news conference.
“Gaokao concerns tens of millions of students, and the ministry must adopt the most cautious plan with the least amount of risk to protect their safety as well as that of the teachers.”
Although senior high school students took online courses during the epidemic, many rural students who lacked Internet access felt disadvantaged, so the delay is to ensure they will have more time to prepare for the exam at school, he said.
Chinese people often compare the highly competitive exam to “crossing a narrow bridge”, since for many students, especially those from rural areas, enrollment at a good university is a difficult but worthwhile challenge that could shape their future.

On March 30, 2020, the Ministry of Education announced that the national college entrance examination, or gaokao, would be held on July 7 and 8, which is usually held on June 7 and 8.
WangHui, director of the ministry’s Department of College Students Affairs, said the postponement is mainly to ensure the fairness of the exam. As senior high school students have been taking online courses during the epidemic(流行病), many rural students who lack internet access might feel disadvantaged, so the delay is to ensure they will have more time to prepare for the exam at school, he said.
This is the first time in 17 years that China has adjusted the date of the college entrance examination.
According to the announcement, standard Chinese language and mathematics tests will be on July 7, which are mandatory exams for all students.
On the morning of July 8, students would either take the test for social sciences (history, political science and geography) or natural sciences (physics, chemistry and biology), depending on their high-school subjects. Foreign language shall be the final subject .
Further arrangements will be announced to the public later.
The examination postponement could be regarded as an adjustment due to the coronavirus oufbreak, said Li Jiasheng, a senior high school teacher at Beijing No.4 High School, the Paper reported.
“It gives us more time to make up for the suspension of class due to the outbreak.”he added.

Imagine that you’re going for a walk in a forest when you come upon a guy furiously sawing down a tree.
“What are you doing?” you ask.
“I am sawing down a tree,” comes the curt reply.
“How long have you been at it?”
“Four hours so far, but I’m making progress,” he says, sweat dripping form his chin.
“You saw looks very dull,” you say. “Why don’t you take a break and sharpen it?”
“I can’t, you idiot. I’m too busy sawing.”

6 . Editor’s note: Believe it or not, children’s homework is making their parents ill. One parent suffered a heart attack because of the stress of helping their child with homework, according to a post on Sina Weibo. Who is to blame for the parent’s heart attack?
Li Haonan,16:
I think the student should be responsible for this tragedy. As we students grow older, we should be more independent than we used to be. We can take good care of ourselves. Doing homework with the help of our parents sounds unreasonable. It’s obvious that we can finish it alone. So it’s the student’s dependence that leads to such a sad story.
WangKerui,16:
In my opinion, there’s a connection between this sad incident and school. Homework gives students a chance to examine the knowledge they’ve got. However, school always gives us tons of homework at once. If we have problems, we will turn to our parents for help. When our parents are very busy, they will get angry.
Zhou Xueyao,17:
I think parents themselves are to blame. They always put great pressure on their children, which has bad effects on both parents and children. They should take it easy and let their children do their homework by themselves.

Vincent Van Gogh
Born in the Netherlands in 1853, van Gogh led a simple life in a small town until the age of 16. He then left school and joined a company of art business in the larger city. During the next seven years, van Gogh bought and sold paintings in the Netherlands, London, and Paris. He eventually realized that dealing with others’ artwork was not his dream. He soon discovered that his dream was to become an artist himself.
He spent much of his time in learning the basic skills of drawing. He believed that to become a great painter, one must first master the ability to draw. It was only after he was comfortable in this area that he began to use oil paints. That is when van Gogh developed a style for color that made him one of the most respected artists of all time.
Van Gogh’s paintings are amazing representations (代表) of his view of the world. He used his brush and oils to make layers that built the painting until it was almost three-dimensional (三维). This quality makes people want to reach out and touch the painting.
Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of van Gogh’s use of color and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls across the canvas (画布), while the stars glow with unearthly brightness. Each brushstroke (笔画) creates the movement and lights. Under the sky rests a village painted with smaller strokes and finer detail, giving the impression of peace. A large tree in the foreground suggests that the view is enjoyed from the top of a hill, which offers a glimpse of the majesty (庄严) of the night sky. The Starry Night displays the gift of van Gogh’s ability to create a powerful image with simple brush and oils.
Van Gogh spent only the last ten years of his life painting. Yet van Gogh today is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. His influence is strong; many painters mimic his style and use of color. His artwork can be found in museums all over the world.

Li Jiang: Have you heard this? A group of exchange students from the UK are visiting our school next month.
Su Hua: Yes, I have. Some are already recommending the traditional Chinese dress for the welcome ceremony.
Li Jiang: But it seems people have different opinions.
Su Hua: What do you think?
Li Jiang: I think it’s a good idea. It’s an opportunity to make the Chinese culture better known to international students.
Su Hua: I agree. But we don’t have to dress that way. That’s not our daily style. Besides, it’s not very convenient.
Li Jiang: You see, it’s the Chinese culture that the British friends are coming for. Just the right occasion.
Su Hua: I prefer the school uniform. It’s nice. It’s also a better display of our school culture.

The University of Cambridge confirmed that it would accept students based on Gaokao test results in a post on the University’s official Weibo account on March 25.
The Gaokao, China’s extremely difficult university entrance exam, is now accepted by a number of overseas universities including the University of New Hampshire, which last year became the first state university in the US to accept Gaokao scores for new admissions, the University of Western Australia and the University of British Columbia in Canada.
Previously, Chinese students would have to take standardized college admission tests, such as the SAT and ACT used in US schools.
The Gaokao is regarded as suitable preparation for Cambridge. The Gaokao scores of successful applicants will vary from province to province and year to year. As a guideline, successful applicants will usually have scores in the top 0.1% of those taking the Gaokao in their province. In addition to the total score, Cambridge Colleges will pay close attention to individual subject scores and scores in the Senior High School Examinations (Xueye Shuiping Kaoshi; previously the Huikao). The Xueye Shuiping Kaoshi alone are not regarded as suitable preparation for Cambridge.
