Under this system, pupils are encouraged to “discover” knowledge by themselves, working at their own speed or in small groups, with the teacher offering them support.Mr. Gibb told The Mail on Sunday: “I would like to see schools across the country use whole class teaching methods, particularly in maths and science. Research shows it is much more effective than other methods that concentrate more on personalized learning.”Mr. Gibb said: “In Shanghai primary schools, whole class teaching with all pupils taking part in question and answer activities is key to their success. All their pupils are taught the same curriculum (课程) and all are expected to reach the same high standard.”Mr. Gibbs comments have been backed by recent research, which concluded that the success of pupils in the Far East is largely down to teaching methods.Researchers also used video to analyze what was going on in lessons and found that in the Chinese classroomswhere pupils sit in rows of desks facing the front“whole class interaction” was being used 72 per cent of the time, compared with only 24 per cent in England. By contrast, the classes in England, where pupils often sit in groups, spent nearly half47 per centof their time in “individual or group work”, compared with 28 per cent in China. The research concluded: “Effective teachers spent longer time on interacting with the whole class rather than with individuals/groups or leaving pupils to independent seatwork.”56. What is the problem of the teaching method used nowadays in Britain?A. All the students are taught the same curriculum.B. Students are often left working on their own.C. Teachers often test students with hard questions.D. Teachers are too strict with their students.57. According to Mr. Gibb, the “whole class” approach is more effective because _.A. all the students take part in “question and answer” activitiesB. all the students sit in rows of desks facing the front of the classroomC. it concentrates more on personalized learning than other methodsD. students work at their own speed with the teacher offering them support58. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Teachers should encourage students to discover knowledge by themselves.B. Students in China achieve much higher marks in maths than English students.C. Schools in England are urged to reuse “chalk and talk” teaching method.D. Teachers and students in China work much harder than those in England.BGuitar Lessons for Guitar Players Playing the same things over and over again when you pick up the guitar?

I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when I ran into something solid. It was Carlos.“My, youre tall,” he said.Of course, the class began to laugh. Angry, I walked to my seat without a word.I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest. That would be the last straw. But Reed was studying chemistry and did not seem to be aware of anything else. I didnt know why I considered Reed my friend. Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I. Anyway, every time I blew out my birthday candles and made a wish, it was for a date with Reed Harrington. “Take that seat,” Mr. McCarthy told the proud newcomer Carlos, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the room.Carlos smiled broadly. “But I need a couple of dictionaries.” Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him. He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice president. “How come?” I kept asking myself. “How come this shrimp(虾) whos only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular.”So on that morning, I stopped Carlos and said, “It doesnt seem to bother youbeing short.” He looked up at me. “Of course I mind being short. But there isnt anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself.” “You seem to get along great,” I admitted. “But what about me? Nobody wants to date a girl taller than he is.” “The trouble with you is youre afraid to be yourself. Youre smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red.63. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The writer cared much about Reeds attitude. B.

Carlos is as tall as the writer B. Carlos fell in love with the writer later C. the writer is very tall D. Reed, Carlos and the writer became good friends later65.

A girl and a boy.B. My shortcomings. C. My helpful classmates.D. A change in my life. DFeeling exhausted and hopeless, I began walking to my car.
