A primary school in Wuhan has used new desks and chairs to prevent students from getting short sight. The desks and chairs make students have the correct posture, especially when reading and writing. Each desk has an adjustable steel bar. The bar can help students keep their eyes at least 30cm from books.
Zhang Jianming is headmaster of the primary school. She said the new desks and chairs were provided by an eye care centre in the city. The school carried out a survey last September. It showed that about 7 percent of its 1,093 students said they suffered from short sight.
The new desks and chairs have already improved the students’ posture, but both teachers and students might need more time to get used to them.
Yang Lihua is head of the Wuhan Youth Eye Care Center. She said the desks and chairs were introduced to 19 schools on a trial basis. “During our research into short sight, we noticed that the number of students with short sight was increasing. This is because parents are teaching their children to read and write at a very early age without paying enough attention to their posture,” she said.
Feng Junying is a doctor at Beijing Jingshan School. “I think the new desks and chairs in Wuhan will certainly be helpful,” she said. “But bad reading habits at school are not the only reason for short sight. Children are using mobile phones and iPads when they are very young. This can be another reason for short sight at a young age.”
1.According to the passage, the adjustable steel bar can help the students keep their eyes ___________ from books.
A. 20cm B. 25cm C. 29cm D. 32cm
2.The schools in Wuhan introduced the desks with bars to the primary school students in order to _______________.
A. make students grow tall
B. help students have the correct posture
C. help students love reading
D. not allow students to use mobile
3.Feng Junying’s words mean ___________________________________.

B. the students don’t get used to the new desks and chairs
C. bad reading habits are not the only reason of the students’ short sight
D. the new desks and chairs are useless for the students to improve their eye sight
4. From the passage, a good way to protect our eyesight is to___________________________.
A. buy an adjustable steel bar
B. go to the Youth Eye Care Centre often
C. have a correct posture when we are studying
D. read less and use mobile phones and iPads less

Primary school students in China started using new editions of their textbooks last September, with new illustrations(插图)to go with classic Chinese poems.
With the 110 classic poems for primary school students from Grade One to Six come one hundred illustrations painted by artist Huang Guoxiang of Wenzhou, Zhejiang province. The old version of Chinese was in use for more than 10 years. “Our aesthetic(美学的)tastes have changed. The illustrations in textbooks should keep up with that,” said Huang.
“An editor from People’s Education Press called me last September and asked whether I was interested –to create illustrations for three poems: Ode to Goose, Min Nong and Spring Dawn. I made it. After about 20 days, the publisher called me again and asked me to do all of them,” Huang said.
Huang also said he referred to the Chinese textbooks his son used previously before working on a new painting.
But he did not just create any ink paintings; Huang changed his style of painting a little bit for his young readers. Primary school students may not necessarily be attracted to traditional Chinese ink painting, as the stokes(笔画)tend to be thick and the colors dark. So he mixed ink painting with watercolor to make the pictures visually appealing to the young readers while fully expressing the meanings of classic poems.
“It’s not that difficult to illustrate a single poem. The hard part is: sometimes there are three poems on one page and the contents of these poems may change greatly, so it was difficult for me to express the feelings of all of them with one illustration. Sometimes I had to think with a bigger picture and create something that fits it all,” added Huang.
1.The new illustrations in primary school textbooks were created to .
A.make more money
B.keep up with the times
C.cut the cost
D.attract high school students
2.What does the underlined word “appealing” probably mean in the fifth paragraph?
A.Attractive.
B.Active.
C.Entertaining.
D.Influential.
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Huang found it easy to complete the creation.
B.Huang created no more than three paintings.
C.Huang changed his painting style to suit school students.
D.The Chinese textbooks Huang’s son had used before were useless.
4.What is the best title of this passage?
A.A Great Painter
B.Chinese Ink Paintings
C.Chinese Classic Poems
D.New Textbook, New Illustration

At primary school in New Zealand, I was introduced to a school savings account run by one of the local banks.When our money box was full, we took it to the bank and watched with pride as our coins flowed across the counter. As a reward, we could choose our next money box from a small variety, and start the whole savings routine again. Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and “make ends meet”. Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.
Later, as a university student, I managed on an extremely small student allowance.Students were ignored by banks then, because we were so poor, and there was no way I could have gotten credit, even if I had tried. We collected our allowance three times each year, deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of the allowance.
When our daughter, Sophie, began to walk, we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely. We often comment when the TV tells us “You owe it to yourself to borrow our money"to whom do we really owe it? And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up? Now, as a 12-year-old child, its almost embarrassing to see her tight “inancial policy”, and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.
I agree that financial education in schools is very important. But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.
1.What did the author learn from her parents?
A. How to become a banker.
B. Where to open a savings account.

2.How did the author manage the student allowance?
A. He applied for a credit card.
B. He spent it three times a year.
C. He put it in the bank.
D. He seldom withdrew it.
3.What reflects Sophie’s tight “financial policy”?
A. Reducing her savings.
B. Buying things on sales.
C. Canceling holiday plans.
D. Borrowing money from banks.
4.What’s the text mainly about?
A. Parents, money problems.

New rules for middle school students came out in March. Middle school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The top students won’t only have high marks. They will also be kids who don’t dye(color)their hair, smoke or drink. The following are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work on an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don’t tell your parents you have done homework.
Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-Loving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone. Have you ever quarreled with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you’ll discover Earth II someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren’t for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for fun or homework.

It’s still there, the Vietnamese school where my brother and I used to go. Even with a new coat of paint and the high wire fence, the school I knew ten years ago remains the same.
Every day at 5 p.m., instead of flying kites with our friends, my brother and I had to go to Vietnamese school. No amount of kicking, screaming, or arguing could stop my mother, who was determined to have us learn the language of our culture. She held us by the collar and walked with us the seven long, hilly blocks from our home to school, leaving our tearful faces before the front of the school.
We all sat in little chairs in a big empty room, which had a slight smell of old clothes that had been stored for a long time. I hated that smell. There was a stage far to the right, with an American flag on one side and the flag of the Republic of Vietnam on the other side.
Although the school mainly taught language ---- speaking, reading, dictation ---- the lessons always began with an exercise in politeness. With the entrance of the teacher, the best student would tap a bell and everyone would get up, and say in Vietnamese, "How are you, teacher?"
The language always made me embarrassed. More often than not, I had tried to separate myself from the loud voice that followed me whenever I went to the American supermarket outside our area. The voice belonged to my grandmother, a small old woman who could shout louder than anyone on the street. Her Vietnamese was quick, it was loud, and it was not beautiful.
In our area, the comings and goings of hundreds of Vietnamese on their daily tasks sounded crazy. I did not want to be thought of as being mad, as talking stupid. When I spoke English, people nodded at me, smiled and encouraged me. Even Vietnamese people would laugh and say that I’d do well in life.
My brother was even stricter than I about speaking English. He was especially cruel towards my mother, scolding her for her poor English. Bits of Vietnamese were often mixed in her conversation.
After two years of struggle, I finally divorced my culture. I was permitted to stop Vietnamese school. I thought of myself as American. At last, I thought I was one of you; I wasn’t one of them.
Sadly, I am only an American.
