In Woods Chan's class at a High School in California, students chat with each other in Spanish.Arabic(阿拉伯语) and Mam, a Mayan language from Guatemala. The students have only been in the US for a few weeks or months. Many students were from different countries last year. Woods Chan became concerned when she started hearing the Spanish-speaking students laugh when their classmates spoke Mam or Arabic.
Woods Chan came up with an idea. She asked her students to take turns teaching a little bit of their home language each day. Students taught their peers(同伴) how to count from 1 to 10, how to introduce themselves and how to say basic phrases or words like, ""Cool. "Then, they recorded themselves saying those phrases in short videos and wrote vocabulary words on the whiteboard.
Woods Chan saw the difference in her students. She said they grew more confident after seeing their own language on the whiteboard and hearing it in the videos. They started making friends with each other across cultural lines. Other students who were not in that class would come in and see something written in Mam on the whiteboard and say, "Hey, that's Mam! I speak Mam!”
The project also helped students understand their peers better. Orlando, a 17-year-old student from El Salvador, said he never knew Arabic or Mam even existed before he came to the US and heard his classmates talk. Now, he thinks it would be good for all students in his school to learn a little of their peers' home language. "When I first got here,”he said in Spanish, “I thought, ‘No one talks like me. I'm the only one,’ and I felt alone. Now, I don't feel so bad anymore.”
Knowledge of other languages can help Woods Chan's students beyond the classroom, too.Languages like Mam are becoming more and more common in the US. Some Oakland graduates have gone on to become Mam-English interpreters(口译员)to help fill a lack of interpreters in all kinds of settings.
1.What made Woods Chan think of the idea?
A.Her students making fun of another's language
B.Her students hardly using their home language.
C.Her students being interested in learning a new language.
D.Her students having difficulty communicating with each other.
2.What was the students feeling of seeing their home language written on the board?
A.Angry but accepting. B.Excited and proud.
C.puzzled but supportive. D.Relaxed and creative.
3.What effect did Woods Chan's project have on Orlando?
A.It made him feel less alone at school.
B.It encouraged him to get a job as an interpreter.
C.It helped him understand his home language better.
D.It enabled him to work better in foreign language classes.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A.School is not the only place to learn.
B.All her students are language teachers.
C.She responds to her students' needs quickly.
D.Language is not a barrier to communication

Walking in any high school during the first class in the morning, you will find many students are struggling to stay awake.
“They’re sitting in the classroom, but their heads are at home on the pillows,” said a teacher from a high school.
Don’t blame them; blame the clocks in their brains. A research suggests that biological clocks make teens stay up at night and sleep in the morning.
During the first several weeks of school, students are more likely to lack sleep. In the holidays, students can sleep eight hours a night, but during the school days, they sleep only about six hours on average. Students lose 10 hours’ sleep a week. This may affect their school performances and leads to poor health.
Scientists in the US did research to reset teenagers’ biological clock to help them fall asleep earlier. They found the brain can produce a chemical that helps sleep. But it comes out only in the dark. So they use a special light in the classroom to try to force a reset of the students’ biological clock.
The research failed in the end. So some schools in the US tried to reset their school time from 7:25 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. The results seemed to be good.

Neither of us could know how our relationship would develop over the years. When I came back to DeMatha to teach English, I worked for Dr. Offutt, the department chair. My discussions with him were like graduate seminars(研究生讨论课) in adolescent development, classroom management and school leadership.
After several years, I was named department chair, and our relationship shifted(变化) again. I thought that it might be terrible chairing the department, since all of my former English teachers were still there, but Dr. Offutt supported me through. He knew when to give me advice about curriculum(课程), texts and personnel(人事), and when to let me plan my own course.
In 1997, I needed his opinion about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school. If he had asked me to stay at DeMatha, I might have. Instead, he encouraged me to catch the chance.
Five years ago, I became the principal(校长) of DeMatha. Once again, Dr Offutt was there for me, letting me know that I could depend on him. I have learned from him that great teachers have an inexhaustible wealth of lessons to teach.

To many students, high school is just a basic routine. You go to class in the morning, take a break for lunch and go home in the afternoon.
This isn't quite that simple for pupils at Royal West Academy. As if classes and homework weren’t already enough, students are also required to complete a range of extracurricular activities, or ECAs.
The range of ECAs being offered at the school is various, including everything from guitar and jewelry-making clubs, fund-raising marches, to student committees, swimming and tennis.
“I love ECAs. I’m so happy we have them,” said grade 11 student Adrienne, who is a soccer player and member of the graduation committee. “They motivate the students, and they’re a great bonding experience. I think that without them, not half as many students would be joining up for the soccer team.”
Requiring students to complete ECAs is a sign of the times. That’s because young people are preparing for the future in ways that weren’t considered necessary before. This is an era when ECAs are seen as important. Whether it’s for leadership experience, sports, craft skills or volunteer these things are seen as rounding out the individual and improving their future.
ECAs can also help students discover their likes and dislikes. But as the old song says, you can’t always get what you want, especially when so many students are all trying to sign up for the most popular activities.
ECAs can cut into study and homework time if you’re not careful. You really have to get organized or you’ll fall apart.
1.The students at Royal West Academy may do the following ECAs except ______.
A. to play musical instruments
B. to raise money for an organization
C. to attend sports events
D. to have classes discussions
2.From what Adirienne said, we know that _______.
A. most of his classmates are interested in football
B. one can make many new friends in ECAs
C. students get encouraged to join in ECAs
D. half of his classmates are unwilling to join in ECAs.
3.Why are ECAs important now?
A. They prepare the students for their future.
B. They can make students get what they want.
C. they can help students find their strong points.
D. They can reduce students’ learning time.
4.From the last paragraph, we can infer that _______.
A. ECAs can increase your burden of learning
B. you may fall down when playing in ECAs
C. too many ECAs may leave you in trouble
D. you need to organize other students in ECAs
