Parker Stewart, 15 years old, studies at the Sayre School in Kentucky, US. After doing some independent environmental studies, Parker wanted to make a difference in his community to help the environment.

He started to work really hard last year to bring solar (太阳的) energy to his school’s science labs. Thirty solar panels (电板) are going to be used in late November.

It started when Parker began researching solar energy. He found a solar power app. When he put in an exact address in it, it would tell him how much sunlight that area receives each day. He found that his school building receives a perfect amount (数量) of sunlight, which provided help for finding a good place to install (安装) solar panels for science labs.

At his science teacher’s suggestion, Parker performed an energy examination of one of the school’s science labs to see how much energy it uses. He then started doing more research, including communicating with a local company called Synergy Home to install solar panels.

Parker then went to the headmaster of his school to ask for money after explaining the upsides of solar power. The school used the money to buy one panel, but since then, the project has grown to a total of 30 panels. They’re expected to produce enough energy to run all of the four science labs.

Debbie Wheeler, his science teacher, said the success of the project was because of Parker’s hard work. He did all of the research necessary to make clear of whether solar energy would be a suitable solution for the school’s labs, as well as found out the number of the cost and good results for the project.

Others just talk about improving the environment “but Parker had the persistence to make it happen,” she added.

1.Parker tried really hard to make use of __________ for his science labs.

A.wind energy B.solar energy C.heat energy

2.What do we know about the solar power app in Paragraph 3?

A.Parker Steward created the solar power app.

B.The app helps to receive more solar energy.

C.The app helps find a good place to install solar panels.

3.__________ provided Parker with the money he needed.

A.His teacher B.His school C.Synergy Home

4.According to Teacher Wheeler, Parker succeeded because __________.

A.he got a lot of help from his teachers

B.he did a lot of research before taking action

C.he worked on a similar project for a local company

5.What can be the best title?

A.Young Boy, Great Energy B.Parker and Science Labs C.Low Cost, Good Results

Hello, I'm Zheng Yishi from Shanghai. I'm 15 years old. I study at Walsh Jesuit High School in Cleveland, Ohio, US. I Like reading, traveling and listening to music. I'm glad to share my experience with you.

Have you ever wondered what PE classes are like in other countries? In China, PE tests are required to graduate from both middle school and high school. To get good grades on the PE tests, Chinese students will need to practice running as well as doing sit-ups and pull-ups. However, this is not the way that PE classes work in US high schools.

In my high school, we are required to take two terms of PE to graduate. We play real sports during PE classes, such as basketball and volleyball. There are also some other typical American sports that we often play, such as kickball and dodgeball(躲避球).

I didn't know the rules of kickball and dodgeball when I first came to the US. The teacher allowed me to sit on the sidelines and watch how other students played it in order to let me find out the rules.

We also learn some useful life skills in PE. Last year, I learned how to do CPR(心肺复苏), which is a life-saving skill. We were also taught how to provide first aid to someone who is choking(窒息).These skills are a large part of the final grade for the PE class in my high school. Self-defense(自卫)is taught in PE class as well. This includes some tae kwon do(跆拳道)and karate(空手道) skills, as well as Chinese kung fu. It is practical. I prefer PE classes in the US to the ones in China. I think they are more fun and useful. What do you think?

1.The writer learned the rules of kickball and dodgeball through 　　　　　 ·

A.a teacher's instruction B.watching others play

C.playing the sport herself D.watching online videos

2.Which of these things did the writer NOT learn about in PE classes at Welsh Jesuit High School?

A.How to play sports. B.Life–saving skills.

C.Self-defense skills. D.How to treat burns.

3.The story is written to 　　　　　 .

A.introduce the writer's favorite sports

B.explain what US PE classes are like

C.show why US students don't like PE classes

D.suggest that China should change its PE classes

A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university.At the start of the school year，the teachers were given the names of five children.They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class.But the fact was that these students were only average，and they were not the best students at all.Well，guess what？At the end of the year，all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.

What made these average students change so much to become top students？The only difference was the change in their teachers' attitude.Because the teachers believed that these five kids were top students，they expected more from them.And so these five average students became to believe and expect more from themselves.So they worked harder to do as well as they could.

Do you know？If you expect the best from people，they'll usually want to give you their best.A great leader said，“Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside，and you'll make him even worse.But treat a person like he's already a success，and you'll help make him the best he can be.”

Like the true story of 7­year­old Johnny，his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said.“Johnny，you're the naughtiest(最调皮的)boy in this class.I'm sure you'll never change.”The next year Johnny had a new teacher.And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said.“Johnny，I've heard a lot about you！But do you know that I don't believe a word of it？”And every day after that，this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things.Later on，Johnny became a school leader，because that's the power of our belief and attitude towards children.

1.The professor started his research by ________．

A. telling the five students to work harder than ever before

B. teaching the five children himself

C. telling the teachers that the five students were the best in the class

D. asking the five children to find a new teacher
