In order to learn more about Chinese history and raise their cultural awareness, we were organized to have a trip to our local history museum on last Sunday.

Locating in the southern part of our city, the museum is one of most frequently visited attractions for its various ancient exhibits. We see items from different times, that showed us the history behind. Beside, we not only heard a lot of interesting stories and learned about the lifestyle of ancient people.

Surrounded by these historic object, we were proud of our nation’s civilization achievements. This was an unforgettably experience.

7 . I'm sweating heavily in my chair. Mr. Fogarty slowly looks over the rows of boys, each holding his breath and   ____it's not his turn. Mr. Fogarty's eyes pass over them and they can______again. His eyes land on me and my heart jumps.

This is the______I go through every Tuesday during jazz practice. I'm fine during practice______it's time for each of us to stand and play our instrument, alone, with everyone watching. I always pray for Mr. Fogarty to______me, but he never does.______, he calls me out in front of everyone, every time.

Mr. Fogarty mouths, "You're______"

My stand partner smiles. He knows how much I______this moment each week and in some way it gives him_____ to see me sweat.

I pray that the kid before me has a(n) _____solo, or maybe an earthquake will interrupt us. But then the boy before me finishes his solo. My heart beats so hard I can______breathe as I stand up.

I start to breathe out the first notes. I hold them as long as I can and then I look at the music, hoping to______the safe pattern of musical notes that tell me what to do. But no, I have to trust myself.

____the notes on the page start jumping at me, each coming so fast I'm not______which to play first. So I play them all. My thoughts are no longer words, but musical______,and they're moving so fast I don't have time to____   what to play next. I just let my hands go. I’m so caught up in my solo that I don't______how long I've been playing.

Mr. Fogarty gives me a signal and, abruptly(突然地)I______, and free my hands from the saxophone which is still warm from my______fingers.

I sit so hard that the chair makes a noise. I ignore my stand partner's______and look up at my band teacher's approving smile.

8 . The end of the school year is in sight - Christmas cards， candy canes and of course， end of year reports．

While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids' performance， they do not expect their own input to be evaluated． But a school in the UK is changing that． As well as assessing their students， they are dishing out grades to mums and dads． Parents that are really involved in their kids' education are rewarded with an A， and parents that haven't done their bit get a disappointing D．

The school， Greasley Beauvale Primary in Nottinghamshire， uses standard such as whether mums and dads have attended school events such as plays and parent teacher evenings to decide on the grade． The school's principal， Donna Chambers， said that the scheme had been well received．

"There were some critics． In spite of it， between 15 percent and 20 percent of parents started out in the lower categories but now that has been reduced to just two per cent，" she explained．

Chambers hopes that the scheme will help motivate parental involvement． "The system is important because you have got to get the parents on board from day one． That one hour initial conversation saying they could improve will make a difference to the rest of that child's academic life"， she said．

But while the scheme may be well intentioned， it is likely to be connected with parent shaming． There are lots of reasons why some mums and dads might not be involved in school activities such as work commitments， looking after younger children or caring for elderly relatives．

And of course， being involved in your kid's education doesn't begin and end at school． There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes from helping with homework to keeping uniforms freshly laundered． And what about all the parents who stayed up sewing special costumes at the last minute？ Surely that earns a gold star instead of a grade!
