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 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%( nearly passed) E: below 75% (failed)
We can see the inclusion of E instead of F.
Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular all over 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 think that letter grades don't fully show students' learning. However, as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents continue to prefer the letter grades they got as kids, as they are familiar and easy for parents to understand. So while they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren't going away any time soon.

When you feel a sneeze（喷嚏）or cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs(细菌). You probably knew that.
But how to cover your mouth is very important. You might use tissues(纸巾), and put your used tissues into the bin. “If you don’t have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand, even if you are used to doing that.” The doctors advised.
“If somebody sneezes into his hands, those germs will be passed on to other people, or other objects that people touch.” said Dr. Hill.
Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing. When they land on your hands, they are passed from hands to things like bills, door knobs(扶手), elevator buttons（电梯按钮） and other surfaces. At the same time, the people around you can touch them.
This isn’t nagging（唠叨）. The Centers for Disease Control also suggest that sneezing and coughing into your elbow is necessary. Even the New York City subway officers ask the passengers to “cough or sneeze into elbow or use a tissue.”
“The suggestion was taken seriously about 10 years ago. However, most people didn’t pay much attention to it. That means the adults may have missed the advice. But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze.” Dr. Benjamin said.
To be clear, people can’t keep away from all the risks in this way, but it’s the best choice. At the same time, we’d better wear masks（口罩） and often wash our hands. “Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy.” Dr. Hill said.

阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答下列各题。
The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Some parents send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia, regardless of how much this costs. Many also want their children to take extra-curriculum activities (课外活动) where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a better start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend a large amount of money on education. Even poor parents manage to buy a computer for their son or daughter.
In fact, most parents fail to see that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children’s skills are different; they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. However, they fail to realize that today's children are lack (缺乏) of self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take exams and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills they need. They do not teach them to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job step by step. The result, a well--cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence. All these will help the children step to success in the future.
An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and arouse(唤醒) his interest. If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to mend it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teaching a child to read a book. They teach them to think and to use their minds. This is much more important than learning by reading a book.
1.Is the writer satisfied with the Chinese parents’ ideas of educating their children?
________
2. Put the underlined sentence “the more expensive an education is, the better it is” into Chinese.
________
3. What are the children lack of today?
________
4. How is the experience of cooking according to the fifth paragraph?
________
5. What does the underlined word “They” refer to(所指的是) in the last paragraph?

Have you ever dreamed about sending a letter to yourself or your friends in the future? While express mail(快递) is a fast way to send your letters, there is another type of mail appearing in China as a new business—future mail.
“The letter should be sent next Mother’s Day and not a day earlier!” Lin Xiaofan, a college student in Shanghai, tells one of the companies offering the service.
Lin Xiaofan wrote the letter to her mother nearly a year earlier to express her love to her mother for next Mother’s Day.
“Offering this service makes people slow down and lets them understand the meaning of ‘time’ in another way,” said Zheng Zhimin, manager at a “future mail” company. Zheng thinks “future mail” letters help remind us of care, friendship and love.
While “future mail” is becoming more and more popular, some people are wondering what will happen if the postal address changes or if the company goes broken before the letters arrive.
Zheng said customers are glad to sign a contract(签订合同) to make sure that they can becompensatedif their letters are lost or damaged.
Most of the customers are college students and young white-collar(白领) workers. Psychologists (心理学家) said that young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service. Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so that they can experience the connection(联系) between the past and the present when they receive the letter.
1.“Future mail” is a/an ______ way to send your letter.
A. fast B. old
C. new D. cheap
2.The underlined word “compensate” means ______ in Chinese.
A. 赔偿 B. 完成
C. 送达 D. 抛弃

D. understand the meaning of “time” in a wrong way
5.You’d better use “future mail” if you want to ______.

Do you often post or look at your old photos on Facebook? A new study found that it can cheer you up to do so.
When you are looking back over these pictures and wall posts reminds us of happier times.
Almost 90 percent of users enter the site to look at their own wall posts, and three quarters do this when they are feeling low.
Dr Alice Good, from the University of Portsmouth's School of Computing, found this 'selfsoothing(自我慰藉)' use of Facebook is good to our mood.
The findings are opposite to the previous(以前的) research, which suggested looking at Facebook can be bad for your mental(心理的) health.
"Although this was only a small study, we will go on to study larger groups to see if the results remain consistent(一致的)," said Dr Good.
Dr Good did a survey of 144 Facebook users and found they often use the site to reminisce(追忆), using old photos and wall posts as a form of comfort.
The group had an average age of 34 and had slightly more men than women. Of these, 39 percent had a history of mental health problems.
1.What is the new study about?
2.When do most of the users go into the site to look at their old photos?
3.What does the previous research think of looking at old photos on Facebook?
4.What will the researchers go on to do to see if the results remain consistent?
5.What is the average age of the users studied by Dr Good?
