But some college students still try every means to escape classes. The number of these rebels may be much bigger than you think. Three students from Anhui Normal University However, its good for schools and teachers to know via the website the reasons why students skip classes, according to Professor Xiao Haitao from Shenzhen University. Xao pointed out that some students skip classes because of laziness. Others play truant because the teaching is truly dissatisfactory, “Universities can seek improvements to give a cure to the class-skipping problem,” said Xiao.Chen Yang, 21, thinks that he is “forced to skip some courses because of the poor teaching. The senior, majoring in English at Yangtze University, thinks that hes wasting time in the classroom when the teacher reads the textbook word for word or hands him outdated reading materials. He would rather skip classes to study in the library, watch online videos of Harvard or Yale lectures, or sit in on(旁听）other courses he is interested in. Chen draws a clear line between himself and those who skip classes in order to get more sleep or fool around on campus. He emphasized, “I skip classes with a clear goal, which is to probe into areas Im interested in andbroaden my horizons.”Li Sicen, President of the National Taiwan University, seems to be on Chens side. Li claimed that he supported those students who skip classes for good reasons.However, Professor Xiao warns students that Li is not giving permission for students to skip classes. Xiao suggests that Li was just showing his understanding of truancy(旷课) in a limited number of cases.In Professor Pan Cuiqiongs opinion, students tend to jump to the conclusion that a certain course is boring and useless. “To clear students misunderstanding, teachers should use materials closely related to students lives and adapt interactive teaching methods.” said Pan.Besides offering teachers more training, schools also need to give students different optional courses and ensure that they can attend the courses they are interested in, according to Professor Xiao. Many Chinese students have the experience of being kicked out of an optional course because its size is limited. They are then forced to choose courses they dislike and are likely to skip them. We may learn from Sydney University in Australia. There arent any problems with numbers-if a course is popular then there will be more than one class per week.56. The underlined word “rebels” in Paragraph One refers to “_ .”A. students who embarrass their universities B. students who establish websitesC. students who skip classes D. students who quarrel with their parents57. Chen Yang Skips some courses because _. A. he wants to get more sleep B. his school is more student-centeredC. he wants to fool around on campus D. the teaching style needs much improvement58. According to the passage, we learn that Professor Xiao _. A. is giving permission for students to skip classesB. thinks the website will help to know why students skip classesC. thinks its embarrassing for the three students to establish ID. claimed that he supported those students who skip classes for good reasons59. Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to stop students skipping classes?A. Schools should offer teachers more training.B. Students should be punished if they skip classes. C. Teachers should adopt practical materials and flexible teaching methods.D. Schools need to ensure that students can attend various courses they are interested in.BReading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions to the text and gets answers. With these answers he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness （意识状态）. At times, however, we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between our expectations and meaning of the text. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for the advanced readers.There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that has nothing to do with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “process” conversation as opposed to (相对) “content” conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies（策略） we employ in reading. If we are advanced readers our ability to hold a content conversation with text is usually well developed. Not so our ability to hold a process conversation. It is just this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.60. As a kind of conversation between the reader and the text, it becomes conscious only when _ .A. the reader understands a text very wellB. the reader asks questions and gets answersC. he reader has trouble understanding what the author saysD. the readers expectations agree with what is said in the text61. At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to _ .A. read a text slowly B. read without thinking hardC. interpreting a text in their own way D. concentrate on the meaning of words only62. According to the writer, _ is of great importance to readers.A. translating, criticizing or analyzing a textB. the readers expectation or the meaning of a textC. conscious or unconscious level of comprehension D. balance of lower and higher levels of comprehensionCOne of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might have spent too much time with electronic devices (电子设备) rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on childs play.Each of us had a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes(风景). “If the decrease in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蚕食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive（认知的）skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents-and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better in schools with a nature experience and that play in nature fosters（培养）leadership. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump(丛) of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more. Everyone from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help our kids have some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen love, and need for the landscape. As parents, we should
