mountains and the longest glaciers. it is alpine (高山) in the purest sense-with skyscraping peaks, glaciers and permanent snow fields, all set under a star-studded sky.key highlights although it includes 23 peaks over 3000 metres high, this park is very accessible. state highway 80 leads to mt cook village which is situated beside scenic lake pukaki and provides a comfortable base for alpine activities. far from city lights, the stargazing here is magnificent-aoraki mount cook national park forms the majority of new zealands only international dark sky reserve. mountaineers regard the area to be the best climbing region, while less skilled adventurers find plenty of satisfaction with the mountain walks that lead to alpine tarns, herb fields and spectacular glacier views. encounters (遇到) with cheeky kea (mountain parrots) are part of the fun.key activitiesmountain walks there are 10 short walks beginning near the village. all tracks are formed and well marked. the red tarns track, kea point and the hooker valley track each take around two hours return. for more experienced alpine hikers, there are three mountain pass routes-over the mueller, copland and ball passes.glacier viewing and skiing helicopters and ski-planes provide access to the parks fabulous glaciers. the tasman glacier is an excellent choice for intermediate skiers, while the murchison, darwin and bonney glaciers promise excitement for advanced skiers. from october until may, you can explore the tasman glaciers terminal lake by boat.mountaineering climbing mount cook remains the ultimate challenge, but there are many other peaks to tempt experienced climbers. tasman, malte brun, elie de beaumont, sefton and la perouse are local favourites.key tipsclimbers dont require permits, but are requested to complete a trip intentions form. local guides are available for climbing, walking and glacier skiing.winter climbing is an extreme sport-only recommended for

experience and skill b. get your permit prepared before you start to climb c. hire local guides to help you to train for climbing d. choose darwin glacier to ski on as an intermediate skierb a report released this month found that grouping children by ability is on the rise again-teaching students in groups of similar ability has improved achievement for fast and slow learners alike-and who wouldnt want bright kids to be able to move ahead, or strugglers to get the help they need? but for most kids, labels (标签) applied early in life tend to stick, even if they are wrong. sorting school children by ability has long been controversial. in some countries, especially in asia, school-wide tracking (分流) remains normal. children are tested and placed in different schools that direct them toward professional or vocational careers. movement between the tracks is rare. school-wide tracking decreased in u.s. schools in the 1960s and 70s. it never died out, though. sorting students into separate tracks for math at about junior high school age continues to be common, and other forms of tracking persist as well. unlike tracking, which means sorting students into separate classrooms, ability grouping happens within classrooms. when done according to the latest research, it has proven to promote achievement. ability grouping is changeable and temporary. within classrooms, students might be divided into different learning groups dealing with materials of different levels. any students who master concepts can move upward between groups, and the student groups might look different from subject to subject and unit to unit. for instance, a student who stands out in language arts might be at an average or slower level in math. a student who flies through multiplication tables might need extra help with fractions. students who lag in reading can be pulled out of the classroom in small groups for practice with a tutor until their reading improves. research shows ability grouping within classes has more positive benefits than tracking. however, that must be weighed against the challenges involved. in many regular classrooms, the differences between student ability levels are very big. that presents challenges for teachers and low-performing students to constantly compare themselves with students who seem to fly through school with ease. the rigid ability groups and tracking of the past are still with us in many schools. likely, labels are applied with more caution than in the bad old days when some teachers gave reading groups not-so-secret code names like bluebirds, robins, crows and buzzards. but kids still know.58. why is grouping children by ability becoming popular again?a. because most teachers do not like slower learners. b. because grouping children should be done early in life. c. because it is academically beneficial to different learners. d. because fast learners can move ahead without teachers help.59.by saying movement between the tracks is rare.(para. 3), the writer really means_. a. tracking children is normal in asia b. school-wide tracking has decreased in us c. professional and vocational careers are unrelated d. sorted students can hardly change schools60. the examples in paragraph 6 are used mainly to illustrate _. a. a good language learner promises to be good at maths b. a student might join different groups for different courses c. ability grouping benefits gifted students more than slow ones d. ability grouping presents no challenge for those slow students61. what might be the challenge in regular classrooms for teachers? a. students different levels. b. students low performance.c. constant self-comparison. d. application of not-so-secret code. c my fathers family is not a musical family. they are a family of words. my brother has my fathers dark hair, his love of a good argument. i take after my mother. from her i inherited a curious nature, a sense of adventure, bright red hair. i did not, contrary to her hopes, inherit a talent for the piano. that fact was established beyond doubt after unsuccessful attempts to draw music from me. the piano lessons began when i was four. my mother was convinced that l would be a child mozart. she found the ideal teacher-madame oblenka, a strict russian woman, whose pursed lips were enough to frighten a wild horse into submission. madame oblenka, who expected a little mozart, was not very delighted to find a little girl banging her fists (拳头) on the keys. i tried to please her. feel the music, she urged. i felt it and winced (畏缩) my ears-for what is more unpleasant than a series of wrong notes played continuously? she felt my music, too, which is why she always left with an angrier expression than when she came. once, when i was ten, i managed to record one of my own rehearsals (练习). in order to escape my practice sessions, i would close myself behind the door of the piano room, put on the tape recording, and read until the tape had finished. that method worked for a week, until my mother began to wonder why i always missed the same b-sharp. she knocked on the door, and, receiving no answer, came in to check on me and found that i had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on. i was twelve when my parents finally acknowledged that my hidden talent was not about to emerge (显现) any time soon. my mother, refusing to admit defeat, told me to pick another instrument. choose anything you want, honey, she said, assuming that freedom of choice would inspire devotion. i thought long and hard and chose the drums. my parents, sensitive to noise, would be less than overjoyed by a daily bombardment of
