Why are so many students not doing well? Why is there such a huge achievement gap between urban
and suburban students? Just this week, in my school the seventh grade team leader called a meeting to
discuss academic detention (放学后留校). The purpose of the detention is to allow students who are
doing poorly a second chance to redo the work. Now if a student did not understand an assignment I have no trouble allowing that student to redo a test or give some extra credit work, but if a student did poorly
because he/she opted(选择) not to do the work out of sheer laziness, that student should not be given a
second chance.
And parents should be held accountable for their children. That is another reason why there is such a
huge achievement gap. All children should be monitored at home in order to achieve great success in
school. Perhaps it might be a great idea for urban school districts to offer free classes to parents on how to help their students at home. Of course this idea is far fetched, after all we do not want to offend the
parents. What we will do instead is to spend a fortune on teacher training because if the kids are not doing well it must be the fault of the teacher. That kind of mindset, if allowed to continue will be a perfect recipe
for greater achievement gaps.
I started working at my current school in August and I have been in the teaching field for 25 years.
What I believe is that you can lead a horse to water but you can"t make that horse drink. You can"t force kids to change bad habits over night, nor can we afford to lower standards just so a kid can pass a class.
B. find out who is to blame for the huge achievement gap between students
C. talk about giving students who are doing poorly a second chance to redo the work
D. discuss how to narrow the huge achievement gap between students
B. for whatever reason he did poorly the first time
C. if he failed the first time in spite of his efforts
D. if he comes from a suburban area
B. teachers are to blame if his students are doing poorly
C. the school should force those students to work harder if they"re doing poorly
D. the school should treat different students with different standards
It is generally accepted that the best way to learn a language is to totally involve yourself in its culture by living in the country where it is spoken. __ 1__ Fortunately, many aspects of a country"s culture have
made their way to our lives in the form of various media and entertainment outlets. Not only do they allow a peek at life, but they make excellent study material for learning the language.
What to increase your language skills and enjoy some entertainment at the same time? Tired of going
down to the video rental store to rent movies? __ 2__
Most companies require customers to operate on the following model:
●Select and sign up for a payment program online, which will determine how many movies you can rent and hold at any one time.
● __ 3__ You can look up movies by title, actor or director. Then movies will be sent to you within
1~3 days, and shipping is covered by the company.
●Watch the movies, often with no late fees.
● __ 4__
●Check these sites for specific, uptodate details.
Once you receive the movies, how can you improve your language skills with them? Well, just sitting in front of the TV with a drink in one hand isn"t a bad way to relax, but you won"t learn much. While seeing a movie you should take notes of new expressions. Write them down and look them up in a good
English-English dictionary to understand their possible meanings. __ 5__ If you don"t know how to use
words, learning vocabulary will lose all meaning.
B. If you haven"t finished on time, you can delay returning.
C. Now, more and more companies are offering customers the chance to rent movies online.
D. Then, think of some sample sentences for each word.
E. Choose the movie you want to watch, generally 1~3 at a time.
F. Watch movies as long as you have nothing to do.
G. While many find packing up and moving to a country is not a practical option.
from having love for working with children, teaching is a career like no other.
An effective teacher is not only the master of his/her subject area, but also an educator with the strong
emotional backbone. Daily, the teacher communicates with students from different backgrounds, with
different learning skills, and with different emotions.
The teacher will set high expectations of all students and never give up the underachievers. The teacher will always be available to students whether it"s before classes begin or after school. He/She will also have additional work for students need extra assistance in learning the subject.
An effective teacher will contrast his/her lesson with the material so that students will look at the
material in various ways. This will ensure that students remain on task during the entire class session.
Being asked openended questions, students will remain interested and not be bored. Difficult as this may
sound, it can be achieved.
The teacher will always be an enthusiastic, organized, and caring individual, and will make learning fun. He/She will not simply write the assignment on the board,and tell students "There"s your assignment.
Get to work!" and proceed to sit at his/her desk for the remainder of the period. Instead, the teacher will
add games or use media in the learning process; in this way, students will crave (渴望) learning.
Our children need support, guidance and proper instruction so that they will succeed in life, not only in
the career they choose, but also as the person they become.

Come home refreshed after an active trip! Don"t be too tired!
Active vacations are often the most relaxing of all.It"s all in defining (定义) what an active vacation is.We don"t expect you to run slowly,or go backpacking.Well,we ask the vacationers who are not active not to sit too long but to spend two to four hours a day doing things,such as walking the city streets,exploring a nature protect,going to a zoo or biking along the ocean.

active and healthy.
A walk at dawn or dusk is necessary.Try to make this a daily routine of life away from home,and you

swimming pool,or a treelined lake,make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even
walking.Heck,merely standing in waisthigh water is a good exercise,thanks to the action of the water.And
you will feel so much more alive!
Many of us spend a large piece of our vacations on the road,either getting to and from our destinations,or using the car for sightseeing.But no matter how beautiful the scenery is,great,memorable vacations don"t happen in a car seat.Don"t wait for tiredness or nature"s call to get you to pull over.Frequently get out and

coming for our boring table service jobs.Korean company ITM Technology has developed the restaurant
concept around a little robot that fulfills the role of a waiter.Robo Cafe avoids ordering errors,reduces
staffing costs greatly for restaurant owners,and even brings the boss all the tips.
Japan is preparing for some very tough times ahead.When its aging population become too old to
work,labor is going to be in severe shortage.So inventive technology departments are exploding with really fascinating ideas to take the pressure off when it hits.
To small cafe and restaurant owners,the solution might well look something like Robo Cafe,a restaurant designed to operate as efficiently as possible with the absolute minimum human workforce possible.The
building needs to be designed with small horizontal (水平的) pathways leading from the kitchen to all the
tables.A small team of waiter robots can then get around to every table in the house when they"re asked to come.Customers can either order orally,or touch a screen on the robot"s belly.When the kitchen has
finished preparing the food,the robot brings it out to customers.
Dan Carlin talks about the "kitchen of the future ",where everything is automated and the labor is free
because you own it.Really,the_kitchen_of_the_future_is_actually the_kitchen of_the_past,when you
consider that throughout human history,there have been many examples of slaves working for no pay.
As Carlin points out,today"s concept of slavery is mostly restricted to nonhumans.And the ownership of robot labor in a Robo Caf ?type situation will almost certainly prove itself far more economical and
dependable than a human workforce once the technology itself becomes mature.Of course,slaves have a
worrying habit of rising up against their owners.
B. bring lots of fun and profits to their owners
C. do some housework such as table service work
D. save people from having to do some boring manufacturing work
B. Owners needn"t pay for the labour of their employees.
C. Robot waiters are designed to serve customers voluntarily.
D. The building will be designed for the convenience of customers.
B. Technology won"t change the core of the kitchen.
C. Labor free of charge can be used in the kitchen again.
D. Labor free of charge is no longer limited to humans.
