This is 41three Chinese students studying in California in the US described what they had done.Zhai Yunyao, Yang Yuhan and Zhang Xinlei, all 19, called it a “prank” when they took their classmate Liu Yiran to a park where “Liu was beaten, spat (吐痰) on, 42with cigarettes and forced to eat her own hair during a five-hour attack”, 43the Associated Press.However, their “prank” in March 2015 was 44a crime in the US. The punishment was years in prison for kidnappingand assault (攻击). Zhai was 45to 13 years in prison, Yang to 10 years and Zhang to six years on Feb 17. They will be sent back to China 46serving their sentences, reported The Los Angeles Times.The bullying (欺凌) case has caused quite a discussion in China where school bullying is not 47_ but is seldom considered a crime. According to a survey done by China Youth Daily in July last year, 73.3 percent of the 1,002 48 said they had experienced or seen bullying cases at school.However, 49 offenders (冒犯者) receive proper punishment. In most of the cases, offenders only get criticism from schools. Offenders under 14 have no criminal 50. Those aged between 14 and 16 usually get a light punishment only when they 51serious crimes like murder and rape (强奸), according to Chinas laws. “The articles about protecting minors (未成年人) have started to get 52punishing school bullies,” commented an article in Bandao Metropolis Daily. “Some bullies even use the laws as a shield (挡箭牌) for their violent 53.” In 54, the US is quite tough on bullying. A(n) 55of 46 of the 50 US states now have their own anti-bullying laws, according to the US Department of Education. Bullying, according to those anti-bullying laws, 56 not only direct physical contact like hitting, but also verbal assaults like name-calling.Also, judges in the US have the right to 57 minor offenders as adults if the cases are serious or if they have criminal records. China could learn from the US,58its legal system to stop bullying, some people have suggested. Huang Zhiyuan, a procurator (检察官) at the Henan Peoples Procuratorate, advocated lowering the criminal age in Procuratorate Daily. Li Fangchao of China Daily advised China to make a 59anti-bullying law. A more profound (深刻的) message the case showed to us is that “the common tolerant60toward bullying should be changed”, commented Jiaxing Daily. “When teenagers do something wrong, we should tolerate and help them when necessary. But all of these have a limit.”41. A.what B. where C. how D. why42.

The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for a day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.”If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even a small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.61.According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?A. By solving the cost problems.B. By solving the transportation problems.C. By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.D. By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.62. What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence?A. Providing food is vital.B. Learning to fish is helpful.C. Teaching skills is vital.D. Looking after others is important.63. The second paragraph is developed mainly.A. by exampleB. by processC. by comparisonD. by contrast64. Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?A. A medical team.B. An exchange program.C. A water plant.D. Financial support.65. What can we infer about international aid from the passage?A. It is facing difficulties.B. It is unnecessary during normal times.C. It should be given in the form of materials.D. It has gained support from developed countries.BCall it the learning paradox: the more you struggle and even fail while youre trying to learn new information, the better youre likely to recall and apply that information later.The learning paradox is at the heart of “productive failure,” a phenomenon identified by researcher Manu Kapur points out that while the model adopted by many teachers when introducing students to new knowledge providing lots of structure and guidance early on, until the students show that they can do it on their own makes intuitive sense, it may not be the best way to promote learning. Rather, its better to let the learners wrestle with the material on their own for a while, refraining from giving them any assistance at the start. In a paper published recently, Kapur applied the principle of productive failure to mathematical problem solving in three schools.With one group of students, the teacher provided strong “scaffolding”-instructional support and feedback. With the teachers help, these pupils were able to find the answers to their set of problems. Meanwhile, a second group was directed to solve the same problems by cooperating with one another, without any prompts from their instructor. These students werent able to complete the problems correctly. But in the course of trying to do so, they generated a lot of ideas about the nature of the problems and about what potential solutions would look like. And when the two groups were tested on what theyd learned the second group “significantly outperformed” the first.The apparent struggles of the floundering (挣扎的) group have what Kapur calls a “hidden efficacy”: they lead people to understand the deep structure of problems, not simply their correct solutions. When these students encounter a new problem of the same type on a test, theyre able to transfer the knowledge theyve gathered more effectively than those who were the passive recipients of someone elses expertise. In the real world, problems rarely come neatly packaged, so being able to discern their deep structure is key. But, Kapur notes, none of us like to fail, no matter how often Silicon Valley entrepreneurs praise the beneficial effects of an idea that fails or a start-up company that crashes and burns. So we need to “design for productive failure” by building it into the learning process, Kapur has identified three conditions that promote this kind of beneficial struggle. First, choose problems to work on that “challenge but do not frustrate.” Second, provide learners with opportunities to explain and elaborate on what theyre doing. Third, give learners the chance to compare and contrast good and bad solutions to the problems. And to those students who protest this tough-love teaching style: youll thank me later.66. Why does the author call the learning process a paradox?A. Pains do not necessarily lead to gains. B. What is learned is rarely applicable in life.C. Failure more often than not feeds success. D. The more is taught, the less is learned.67. What does Kapur disapprove of in teaching?A. Asking students to find and solve problems on their own.B. Developing students ability to apply what they learn.C. Giving students detailed guidance and instruction.D. Allowing students a free hand in problem solving.68. What do people tend to think of providing strong scaffolding in teaching?A. It will make teaching easier.B. It is a sensible way of teaching.C. It can motivate(激发) average students.D. It will build up students confidence.69. What kind of problem should be given to students to solve according to Kapur?A. It should be able to encourage cooperative learning.B. It should be easy enough so as not to frustrate students.C. It should be solvable by average students with ease.D. It should be difficult enough but still within their reach.70. What can be expected of this tough-love teaching style?A. Students will be grateful in the long term.B. Teachers will meet with a lot of resistance.C. Parents will think it t
