Many people say Liu Encheng is a lucky man. He had a special experience of traveling to New Zealand on a working holiday visa 签证. The experience changed his life. He once said, “It’s a chance to understand yourself better and to find out what you really want.”
Let’s get to know more about Liu Encheng’s experiences. Liu graduated from Central South University of Forestry and Technology. After graduation, Liu worked as a reporter for the Kunming Daily for five years. But he wanted to do something different. He was thirsty for a chance to go abroad.
The chance arrived at last. Two years ago, New Zealand’s government announced its plan to offer 1,000 working holiday visas to Chinese residents 居民 a year. As soon as Liu knew the announcement, he applied at once. He got the visa to New Zealand successfully.
Liu arrived in New Zealand in December last year. Her was impressed by the Summer Christmas. Liu said, “Many fruits are ready to harvest, so it’s easy to find a job in the orchards果园before getting there. New Zealand is an agricultural country. Working in rural areas helps you understand the country better.”
For Liu Encheng, the most important thing is to live independently独立地. He needed to balance work and travel. As we know, on a working holiday visa you’re only allowed to stay in a job for a maximum最大限度of three months. So when Liu had nearly finished a job, it was time to think about what to do next.

Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”? People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid（避免） eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate” once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.”While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.
The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase” blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.
As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate(联系) certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip（尖端） of a fingernail （手指甲）when we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a blue moon”.
Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare (稀有的)event.This facthas led people to use the expression” once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase” once in a blue moon”?

Bai Yansong, a famous TV host, expressed his support for students wearing green scarves (绿领巾) at a primary school in Xi’an. He wore a green tie on a TV program on October 19, 2011. “I just want the students to know that I’m also wearing green. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves.”
The First Experimental Primary School in Xi’an made children with poor schoolwork and behavior wear green scarves. Parents whose children wore green scarves were angry. “The children still need their self-esteem (自尊心) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right,” said one mother. Now, the school has stopped the practice.
Educational expert Li Zhenxi said that primary and junior high school students have strong self-esteem. They are eager to be respected and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “It’s better to encourage them rather than separating some ‘bad’ students,” he said.
A survey made by the Ministry of Education (教育部) shows that 75 percent of students feel nervous and scared when the teacher is about to announce their grades. Some schools have done better in protecting students’ privacy and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using student names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Some teachers might call the students up to the desk and tell them their scores one at a time.
But test scores are not the only measures of a student’s ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard.Bai Yansong wore a green tie in a TV program in order to _______.
| A．show people his special dressing style |
| B．call on people to live a green life |
| C．tell students green-scarf students are also good students |
| D．remind students wearing green scarves means being bad |
Why did those parents whose children wore green scarves feel angry? ________
| A．Because their children did do well at school. |
| B．Because they thought the school didn’t have the right. |
| C．Because it was against the law. |
| D．Because it hurts their children’s self-esteem. |
According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?_________________
| A．Primary school students are too young to know what self-esteem is. |
| B．Separating some “bad” students helps create good learning environment. |
| C．Most “good” students like their teachers to announce their scores. |
| D．Using secret numbers instead of students’ names can protect their privacy better. |
What does the word “measure” mean in the last paragraph?
| A．长度 | B．尺度 | C．方法 | D．标准 |
