Nowadays， it never seems we have enough time to realize all of the reading goals （目标） that we set for ourselves． Luckily， we have mobile apps such as Latte Read and Get Abstract to provide abstracts （梗概） of a text． Abstracts are useful tools， especially for students， but like having a friend describe the main content of a story to you， you cannot experience the joy and excitement of reading the original （原来的） text of yourself．
I recently finished reading a thick book of W． Somerset Maugham's collected short stories． It took me around ten years to get through． Thomas Mann's difficult The Magic Mountain took me about six months to read； Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged made me very bored most of the time． Reading a book， whether it is good or bad， is a formative （建设性的） experience． There are plenty of books which I probably shouldn't have taken the time to read． But the challenge of living for a time in the thoughts and experiences of a different history or character makes even the worst book a valuable effort．
Whenever I finish the last line of a book and slowly close it， I like to sit there and think over its lines with a mix of nostalgia （怀旧之情） and pride． I then take the book in hand and find a place for it on my bookshelf． When I step back and look at the books on my shelf， it is as if I am looking at the history of the different lives that I have lived．
Abstracts are useful as a tool to an end， but reading the actual （真正的） book is something much richer． Reading， like anything else in life， is much more about the journey than it ever was the destination （目的地）．
（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？
A． Reading abstracts is a best short way to enjoy literature．
B． Reading abstracts cannot bring you the true feeling of actual reading．
C． Reading different kinds of books brings you many advantages．
D． The journey and the destination are equally important in our reading．
（2）What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph？
A． He prefers thick and difficult books to short stories．
B． A good book is better worth reading than a bad one to him．
C． He achieves a lot from reading some challenging books．
D． He is lucky enough never to have read a regrettable book．
（3）In the third paragraph the writer his main point of view （主要观点）．
A． explains the meaning of
B． provides further support for
C． makes a conclusion of
D． offers an opposite example for

For many tests and exams， you are tested on your abilities to communicate successfully． In order to speak English fluently， you need to think in English． If you don't， your speech will be slow and it won't sound natural． Here are some things you can do to practice thinking in English．
•Look at objects around your home and school， and think of what they are called in English． Try to make a direct connection between the object and the English word．
•When you are out in a public place， practice describing the things and people you see in your mind． For example， think，"There is a man walking down the street． He's wearing a suit．I think he is going to work．" Try to think in English first， not in your first language．
•When you have to say something in English， think first and ask yourself，" What words and phrases do I know in English that I can use in this situation？" Try not to think in your first language and translate your ideas into English． If you do， you will get frustrated very quickly．
Try these tips and you'll soon find that you are thinking in English．

The American writer Sally Seaman tells young students some smart ways to find friends．Sally says founding friendship is just like planting a tree．You plant the seed （种子） and take care of it to make it grow．
First，you should choose a friend．What makes a good friend？It is not because a person has money or good looks．A good friend should be kind and patient．For example，if you have a bad day，a good friend could listen to your complaints （抱怨） and do his or her best to help you．To make a friend，you can't be too shy．You should make each other happy and share your lives．
But things can not always be happy．Even the best friends have fights．What should you do when you have a fight with your friend？You have to talk to him or her．If he or she doesn't want to talk，you can write a letter．
There are three steps to be friends again：
Tell him or her how you are feeling，say what your friend has done wrong and explain（解释） why you did this or that．
Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life．
66．Friendship is like a tree．
67．To make a friend，you should make each other happy and share your lives．
68．A good friend should have money and good looks．
69．Friendship is one of the most important things in your life．
70．You don't talk to him or her when you have a fight with your friend． ．
When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework， you might notice that there is no letter E． Have you ever thought about why that is so？
In the A， B， C， D and F grading system， the first four letters are typically considered passing grades． An F in this system simply stands for"fail"．The word"fail"happens to start with the letter F， which seems to leave out the letter E． The fact of the matter is that any letter can mean "not﹣passing" or "fail"．Some schools have U grade for"unsatisfactory"，or I grade for "incomplete"．
Even with all this said， we should also point out that E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US．
The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College． In 1897，they began to use the following grading scale：
A： 95﹣100%（excellent）
B： 85﹣94%（good）
C： 76﹣84%（fair）
D： 75%（barely passed）
E： below 75%（failed）
We can see the inclusion of E instead of F．
Gradually，the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US． However， many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F．There is no evidence（证据） to really support this，but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for "excellent"．
Why do we have letter grades？ Well，part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools． As the 20th century began，growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms． Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy，fair and clear way to grade students．
Today，more and more people argue that letter grades don't fully reflect（反映） student learning．However，as teachers try to improve grading methods，many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids．They are familiar（熟悉） and easy for parents to understand． So while they might not be perfect， the letter grades probably aren't going away any time soon．
（1）what does an F stand for in the A、B、C、D and F grading system？
（2）when was the letter grading system first used in the US college？
（3）what is one possible explanation for dropping the E grade？
（4）what did most teachers think of the letter grading system in the 20th century？
（5）why do many parents still prefer the letter grades today？
Imagine 50 years from now．Imagine the perfect school．Getting to school is already difficult because of traffic．In 50 year's time，it will be even more difficult．A solution is needed．Imagine there is a big cyber﹣school，but the classes are in many different places，both in the suburbs and the city．You would never need to walk more than 10 minutes to get to school．
Once you get there，there is no teacher speaking at the front of the class．Instead there is a large screen playing a video of the teacher．There is a classroom helper who walks around helping you with your problems．You can get the best teaching there，and you have a helper who can help you understand your work．You listen to the teacher for only 15 minutes．Then you work in teams to do group projects and solve problems together．

Think of somebody you really admire.You will probably find that their success didn't come easily.As "Father of Hybrid Rice（杂交水稻）"，Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to reduce world hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population.
Wu Mengchao，the "Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery（肝胆外科）"，focused on saving people's lives for nearly eighty years.He performed more than 16，000 operations during his life.Holding the surgeon' s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers .Wu once said， "It would my greatest happiness if I could work at the operating table until my dying day."
In1969，in order to solve the problem of treating malaria（疟疾），Tu Youyou，pharmacologist （药学家） took on the job as head of a research team.She and her teammates performed different kinds of experiments.However，the results were disappointing.Instead of giving up，they kept trying.Finally，in1972，they made it!In2015，at the age of 85，she received Nobel Prize.
Thomas Edison，the inventor of the light bulb believed that every failure was a step towards success.He once said， "If I find 10，000 ways something won't work，I haven't failed.I am not discouraged，because every wrong try is another step forward.
Sometimes，their success was a surprise，even to themselves.The famous scientist Alexander Fleming said， "When I woke up just after daybreak on 28th September，1928，I certainly didn't plan to revolutionize（变革） all medicine by discovering the world's' first antibiotic（抗生素）.But I guess that was exactly what I did.
Some people only became successful after their deaths.Not like Pablo Picasso who became famous and very rich during his lifetime，the artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend.But he kept painting and he painted more than 2，000 artworks in the following ten years.Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds.
One thing all these people have in common is sticking to their goals no matter what.

Have you ever paid for educational podcasts （播客） or live videos？ Ask some people and most of them will say yes． "Pay﹣for﹣knowledge" has been more and more fashionable these years． The contents of these "pay﹣for﹣ knowledge" products are from language learning to gardening or baby﹣caring． Everything you think of can be found online at this moment． "Pay﹣for﹣knowledge" is on the rise （兴起）．
Why is "pay﹣for﹣knowledge" industry developing so rapidly？ First， its development is based on the Internet． With a fast network and a smartphone， anyone who has passed the identity （身份）check can be an online teacher， and anyone with an online account can buy "pay﹣for knowledge" products that he or she wants at an affordable price． Second， people are afraid to miss any information． On one hand， people hope for more useful information． On the other hand，such information is usually at the hands of experts （专家） who serve well﹣known companies and universities．Moreover，the need to learn new skills in today's job market also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts．
The industry of "pay﹣for﹣knowledge" has proved to be lucrative． It promises possibilities of turning information into money． It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money． Besides， buyers can enjoy self﹣growth from it．What's more， this is a reflection （反映） of respect for knowledge and talents．
However，the rapid development of "pay﹣for knowledge" has a few problems．For one thing，the market is full of eye﹣ catching words such as "How to be an Industry's Expert in 5 Hours" and "15 Classes to Be a Master of Appreciating （欣赏） Classical Music"， which sound like if you pay for it， you are sure to succeed． For another， a large number of customers buy them just for showing off． In fact， those who have really had self﹣growth after buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them least． In other words， with or without these courses， they can make it anyway，because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves．
In general， the best is the one that suits you most．"Pay﹣ for﹣knowledge" may be used as a good start for self﹣ growth． Be careful! Otherwise， your dream of success may not come true．

For years，psychologists（心理学家） have been against giving children prizes or money for their performance in school．"Outwards"prizes，they say，can undermine the joy of learning for its own good and can even lead to cheating．
But many economists（经济学家） and business people disagree，and their opinions often become popular in the educational market place．Prize programs that pay students are underway in many cities．In some places，students can bring home hundreds of dollars for，say，taking an Advanced Placement course and having high grades in the exams．
"Whether such efforts work continues to be a debate（争议），"said Barbara Marian，an assistant professor of education at Pennsylvania State．She is against using prizes as encouragement．Among parents，it often leads to very hot discussion．And in public education，a new focus on school reform（改革） pushes researchers on both sides of the debate to make more efforts to get data（数据） that may provide information on when and whether prizes work．
"We have to get beyond our biases（偏见），"said Roland Fryer，aneconomist at Harvard University who is planning and testing several prizeprograms．"Luckily，the scientific method allows us to examine most ofthose biases and let the data do the talking．"In the cash programs being studied，Roland Fryer and other economists compare the schoolperformance of groups of students who are paid and students who arenot．In the study，they find that the students who are prized get highergrades on the SAT and go to better colleges than those who are not．
However，many psychologists believe that early data can be one﹣sided．Research suggests that prizes may work in the short term but havebad influences in the long term．
"Are they highly interested in what they are doing？Or does it feel like hard work？The same prize program might have different influences ondifferent kinds of students，"said Kirabo Jackson，a famous psychologist at Cornell University．"The higher the prize is，the more harmful the result might be．"

Yang Yu， 14， of Jilin， hasn't adapted （适应） himself to the changes in his classroom since the first day of this term： teachers now hold classes with a computer and screen． "Instead of writing on the blackboard as before， they click the mouse and show us the Power Point （PPT） slides （幻灯片） on the screen． Sometimes， there is not even one word on the blackboard after a whole class，" Yang said． "I'm not quite used to the multimedia （多媒体） class．"
More and more middle schools in China now use multimedia in class． Teachers put their courses on a computer and show their lessons with a PPT． To make the lessons more interesting， they play animations （动画） and movies．
Hu Wei， an English teacher in Sichuan， thinks multimedia class seems to be more interesting than traditional classes． His students practice their oral English by following music and animations on a computer． "It helps them speak English bravely and actively，" Hu says． "Besides， it's also a helpful tool for teachers because showing PPTs saves us more time than writing notes on the blackboard．"
However， multimedia class makes things more difficult for students like Liu Yifang， a 15﹣year﹣old Beijinger． She can't take all her notes as before． "There are no words on the blackboard， but many on the screen，" Liu says． "Besides， my teacher speaks so fast that I can't catch up．"
Liu thinks it is not the best way to learn． "For me， I like the old way． I agree that the multimedia is helpful， but so is the blackboard，" Liu says． "If teachers can use both tools properly in class， I think that will be really good for everyone．"

Passage 3
The British government has started a ￡ 10 million Mandarin Excellence （普通话优秀） Program． The program will have helped over 5，000 British students to be fluent （流利的） in Mandarin Chinese by 2020．
The program is led by local schools and supported （支持） by University College London． So far， 14 schools have taken part in the program． Hundreds of secondary school students in England have taken lessons in Mandarin Chinese． Over the next three years， they will spend eight hours studying Mandarin Chinese every week．
Ned Miller is an officer of the British government． He said a high level of fluency in Mandarin Chinese would become more and more important． "Language skills are important for jobs and life． Mandarin Chinese is spoken by the largest number of people in the world． It is also one of the languages that matters the most to our country's future． If the United Kingdom wants to remain competitive in the world， we do need far more of our young people leaving school with a good commandof Mandarin Chinese，" Miller added． "We hope that our young people could be given the chance to study the language． We want them to be fluent in both spoken and written Mandarin． The Mandarin Excellence Program will help us do this． It will not only open the students' eyes， but also give them a great advantage when they enter the world of work．"

Some parents are used to doing almost everything for their children． They see their older children as babies all the time! It can be a very common problem in China， because most parents only have one child in China． Some parents care so much about the safety of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves． So their children fail to learn social skills and become more dependent（依赖的）on them!
In fact， no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time． No parents would be happy knowing that． Because of too much care， their children don't know anything about the world． Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems． Too much care damages their fun when they are growing up． And when suddenly they can't depend on their parents， these children will be in a big trouble!
It's nice that parents show their care to their children． It's nice that children know that their parents' care is out of love． And it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need and how much love is too much．
