1 . Learning to share, even when it’s hard, is a basic skill to teach children, right? One mom thinks _______.

When Alanya Kolberg took her son Carson to the park, at least six other boys rushed at him, asking him to _______ his toys. As the boys _______ the Transformer, truck, and Minecraft figure, Kolberg told her frightened son that he could say _______. The boys looked to Kolberg, feeling _______ that her son wouldn’t share. But she told them that _______ he wanted to share, he would.

Kolberg asks anyone who doesn’t understand her _______ to take a different perspective. “Whose manners are _______ here? ” she writes. “The person _______ to give his 3 toys away to 6 strangers, or the 6 strangers demanding to be given something that doesn’t ________ to them, even when the owner is ________ uncomfortable? ”

But the mom wasn’t ________ other kids for being demanding. Instead, she wanted to teach Carson how to ________ himself when he’s being bullied(欺负). “The ________ is to teach our children how to function as adults,” she writes. “While I do know some adults who never learned how to share as children, I know far more who are ________ to say no to people. They don’t know how to set boundaries(边界) or how to practice ________. Myself included.”

After all, Carson does share—just not with ________ all the time. Actually he’d brought the toys so he could ________ another friend with them, Kolberg writes.

Most comments ________ the mom for her behavior. They said it could prevent children from becoming pushovers(易于控制的人).

If you ask my ________, I’d say kids should be taught to share, but meanwhile they should be taught to say “no”.

6 . In China, over 162 million children in rural areas lack sufficient educational opportunities. Founded in 2008, Teach For China (TFC) attempts to close the gap in educational quality and achievement between cities and rural areas in China. To reduce the shortage of teachers in rural China, TFC enlists the most promising young graduates from top universities in China to ensure that one day, all children in China will enjoy access to quality education.

In partnership with local governments, TFC first identifies high-need schools and then introduces the concept to school officers to ensure local buy-in. Participating teachers, who are titled as "fellows", are trained to serve as full-time teachers in rural areas where they work for two years to equip students with academic and life skills they need to succeed in life.

Before placement, TFC's intensive Summer Institute prepares fellows to be effective teachers, strong cross-cultural communicators, and meaningful, long-term contributors to their placement communities. Fellows are placed in under-resourced schools selected for demonstrated student need. Fellows share their knowledge and brainstorm solutions to local challenges. Additionally, fellows receive the support of full-time instructional coaches who engage in joint problem solving to boost student achievement. TFC also provides online teaching resources to help fellows improve their teaching level.

Since its founding, TFC has trained and placed a total of more than 2,200 fellows. After the programme, they work in the field of education, business, public welfare, and government non-profit organisations, etc. In the long term, TFC seeks to develop a network of leaders working across a variety of sectors to end educational inequality in China. More than 540,000 students from Yunnan, Guangdong, Gansu, Guangxi, and Fujian provinces have benefited from the programme, and the number is still growing. For example, during the 2018–2019 school year, fellows helped students make significant progress in academic performance. About 52% of the classes got a higher average score on major tests. About 55% of the classes have improved the pass rate on major tests. And about 61% of the classes achieved a higher excellent rate.

A．To train the Chinese graduates to be better teachers.

B．To bridge the gap between Chinese and foreign education.

C．To help students in China be admitted by universities more easily.

D．To resolve the problem of imbalance between city and rural education in China.

2. What does "local buy-in" probably mean in the second paragraph?

A．The schools accept their ideas and support them to teach there.

B．The schools need to prepare some facilities to meet their needs.

C．The local people have to buy the necessary things for their children.
