When Justin Tong was a child， other kids felt sorry for him． His parents always had him doing lots of housework such as carrying out the rubbish and sending newspapers． But when he grew up， he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life．
These are the finding of a 40﹣year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London． It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future． "Children who worked in the home or community gained competence（能力） and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society，" said Daniel Brown， the psychologist（心理学家） who made the discovery． "And because they felt good about themselves， others felt good about them．"
Brown's study followed these children in great detail． Interviews were repeated at ages 25， 31 and 47． Under Brown， the researchers compared the children's mental﹣health scores with their childhood﹣activity scores． Points were awarded for part﹣time jobs， housework， effort in school， and ability to deal with problems．
Working at any age is important． Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility， independence， confidence and competence ﹣ the underpinnings （基础） of emotional health． They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals． The most competent adults are those who know how to do this．Yet work isn't everything． As Tolstoy once said， "One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love， to work for the person one loves and to love one's work．"
（1）What do we know about Justin Tong？

C．He always sold newspapers．
D．He seldom collected rubbish．
（2）Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2？
A．Children who enjoy happier and richer lives．
B．Children who work in the home or community．
C．Children who take part in Daniel Brown's study．
D．Children who feel good about people around them．
（3）How did Brown follow the children in his study？
A．By giving housework and praise．
B．By interviewing and giving scores．
C．By setting goals and showing love．
D．By solving problems and testing them．
（4）What's the purpose of the passage？

B．To introduce Justin Tong's success．
C．To tell us about childhood activities．
D．To encourage children to work hard．
While the start of a new school year is always exciting， this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School． They became the world's first kids to be taught by an electronic teacher． This electronic teacher is not a human﹣like robot walking around the classroom Instead， he is a computer﹣created head that appears， when needed， on students computer or phone screens． His name is Bill．
Created by technology company Smart Machines， Bill is able to show human﹣like behavior． He is designed to teach a special program about environmental﹣friendly power created by the sun and wind． This program， started in 2005， used to be taught by human teachers．
Just like human teachers， Bill is able to immediately respond to the students' questions and opinions about the topic． Thanks to computer cameras， he is also able to see and react to students physical actions． For example， if a student smiles at Bill， he responds by smiling back． This two﹣way exchange helps get the students' attention． More importantly， it allows the program developers to improve Bills behavior and knowledge base when needed．
The program has been a great success， according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost Frost says， "What is interesting to me is the children's reaction to Bill． He really captures their attention． "Frost thinks kids don't find the experience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people because they have grown up in a time of computers and smart phones．
It is doubtful， however， that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time soon． For one，his talking head's knowledge base is not large． More importantly， even the smartest computer programs can't guess and react to all the unexpected situations that educators face daily． Bills future might be as a"personal tutor"， providing kids with one﹣on﹣one help for different subjects and topics．

What's better for learning， hands﹣on projects or tests？
We did a survey about two days to study in our school． 73% of the students prefer hands﹣on（ 动手的）projects while the rest think tests are better for learning． Here are four students'ideas．
Hands﹣on projects require time and hard work to complete． It teaches kids not to put things off．Some kids might get bored and be less interested in studying for a test． Studying also doesn't prepare you as much for the future， since jobs at times will have more difficult tasks than simply studying for a test． Also， completing a project is good for spending time with your friends or family． ﹣﹣﹣Bruno |
With a hands﹣on project you can be creative while you learn． It's also a lot more fun than sitting at a desk with flash cards， memorizing information they forget about after the test． Besides， with a hands﹣on project you can learn more than you expected， like problem solving， creativity， and different ways of thinking．﹣﹣﹣David |
When people study， they remember what was in the book． If they know they have a test， they will most likely take notes on all the important information to help them with the test， so they will learn it better．﹣﹣﹣Alice |
I think kids learn better studying for tests． If you actually sit and study what you are supposed to learn， you will remember it． hands﹣on projects might end up making a kid feel stressed if they are trying to finish on time， and if you are stressed， you might not learn as much． ﹣﹣﹣Matt |

Students at a primary school in Fuzhou，Hast China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits．But some parents are strongly against the idea．They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores （杂亊）．They think that the school should provide students with a proper education，not the chance to be school cleaners．
In fact，parents，schools and society play an equally （同等地）important role in developing the character of students．It is good for schools to give students such tasks，because few of the students will do them at home．Their parents want them to do homework only．
In recent years，some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools．Some complain about the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools； some even challenge the schools'teaching methods and management．As a result，many primary schools，especially those in big cities，do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks，fearing that they might get hurt．This is bad for the development of students'best qualities．
What the primary school in Fuzhou is doing is worth praising．Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility into students'minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork．Also，it can make students'in﹣school experiences more meaningful．
