Khan Lab School is bringing back the one-room model to teach young students in Mountain View, California. The school is     1     lab for an experimental kind of learning. Silicon Valley,     2     (know) for its technology companies, is also the birthplace of the school.

Students aged 5 to 15 attend the experimental Khan Lab School, which     3     (have) no grade levels and no homework. The students are in school from 8:30 in the morning until 6:00 in the afternoon. And, the school is open all year long, with small     4     (break) here and there.

The school is the idea of Salman Khan, the founder of Khan Academy — famous for its educational videos. The videos on the Internet are     5     (actual) free and have millions of users around the world.

Khan     6     (start) Khan Lab School a few years ago because of the problems of the present education. He hopes to create a     7     (good) learning model.

He said the one-room model lets the older students help younger students,     8     means the younger children get a lot of help. They get the help of the teacher and the older students.

Khan said students also learn the study material at their own speed through videos.     9     last, they get more attention through one-on-one discussions with teachers. They also learn by     10     (do) projects.

In 1937, Peking University and Tsinghua University     1     (occupy) by Japanese troops, while Nankai University was completely destroyed by bombing.     2     (save) their educational and intellectual heritage, the three universities joined together in Kunming as National Southwest Associated University, otherwise known     3     Lianda.

Despite the immense hardships and the daunting     4     (challenge), it was right in this place, over a period of eight long years,     5     the nation’s intellectual heritage was guarded and fortified.

With the country at war, students at Lianda were not going to shirk their duty.     6     (drive) by a sense of commitment, a great many joined the army to resist the Japanese invaders and defend the honour of the nation.

A product of the war, Lianda is now     7     (physical) gone.     8     it has become the crowning glory of China's modern universities.

More than eighty years on, the priceless     9     (contribute) of Lianda still needs to be reaffirmed. It     10     (become) part of the collective memory of the Chinese nation, with its spirit as the blueprint for all universities in China in the modern era.

The United States has a wide    1    (various) of institutions that provide higher education. There are so many options that it can be difficult for international students    2    (understand) the different choices. One of the more common questions asked by international students is    3    the difference between a public and a private university is.

A public university    4    (fund) by the public through the government of that state, while a private university is not. The most obvious difference is the price. Public universities are    5     (expensive) than private universities. Private universities can cost well over $100,000 for a four-year degree.    6    , compared to public universities, private universities tend to be more geographically “diverse”, drawing students from many different states as well as other countries because the tuition is    7    same price for students regardless of whether or not they live in the state    8    the university is located.

There are many     9     (high) reputable private and public universities throughout America. According to US News Best Colleges rankings, the first 19 institutions are private universities. That does not mean that there aren’t reputable public universities in the USA. Thus, don't focus only     10    the rankings.

Stage schools often act as agencies to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name "stage school" are those few schools     1     children enjoy the time with a training for the theatre and a general education.   

A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy     2     (them). After all, what lively children wouldn't settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work,     3     acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?   

Then of course these are time for the children     4     (make) a name and make little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much     5     (profession) work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13     6     (limit) to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days.   

The schools admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens     7     those who don't make it? While all the     8     (lead) schools say they place great     9     (important) on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this     10     (be) not always the case.

I’d like to talk about the school system in Australia today. The school system in Australia does depend on     1     you go to a private school or a public school. In the state I’m from, there are a lot of private schools, and generally they are single-sex high schools. The public high schools are generally     2     (mix). All of the private high schools insist that you should wear their school uniforms, and that might mean     3     (wear) a school tie and a school jacket.     4    , the public high schools often give you a     5     (choose) of whether you want to wear a uniform or not. The school classes generally start anywhere     6     8:30 and 9 o'clock in the morning and run     7     3:30 in the afternoon, and they’re followed by after-school     8     (active) like sports and music theater. The school year generally starts at the     9     (begin) of February, after our summer vacation, which lasts about six weeks around the Christmas period.

The only thing I don’t like about our school system is the idea of the difference in quality of education between the private and the public schools. It remains     10     (see) whether you can get a better education, even if you are in a private high school. Most of our public high schools are quite good.
