10、learning methods for middle school students.Starting this fall, primary and middle school students in China will have at least one weekly course on labor education, according to a new curriculum (课程) standard released by the Ministry of Education (MOE).Labor education ranges from household chores to
11、 on-campus labor and community volunteer services, generally 3 types according to the new standards: the first refers to everyday chores, including cleaning, organizing, cooking, and using and maintaining home appliances (家电); next is productive labor, including agriculture, making traditional handi
12、crafts (手工艺品), and applying new technologies such as 3D printing; the third type is service work, including volunteer work. The new curriculum also calls for a week of extracurricular and off-campus activities designed for labor education once every school year.A recent study showed that primary and
13、 middle school students in China only spend an average of 12 minutes a day on chores, compared to 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France. Many countries start students labor education at a young age. Finland begins to develop students life skills in primary school.
14、Spinning, woodworking, cooking and other craftsmanship classes are offered. In Germany, pupils have two labor classes per week. Electronics, office technology, sewing, housekeeping, and career guidance are all taught there.Adding labor education was out of concern that the countrys youngsters do too

19、students off-campus life.As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during
20、 holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrea
21、se in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisias agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farme
22、rs are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals. In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for Al
23、l to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”By Septemb
24、er2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisias farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi ho

27、s.DTo help the children obtain a basic education.11Which of the following can be the best title to the text?ASaving Water in AfricaBFighting Poverty in North AfricaCHolding back the SaharaDPlanting Trees in TunisiaSouth African scientists have started working toward one day injecting radioactive mat
28、erial into the horns of rhinos (将放射性物质注入犀牛角) to save the animals from poachers (偷猎者).While using radioactive material sounds like a radical measure (激进措施), it is trying to deal with an extremely serious problem. Poachers have killed two-thirds of South Africas rhinos over the past years. In 2014 alo
29、ne, 1,215 South African rhinos were killed by poachers. Millions of dollars are spent each year on protecting the animals, with limited success: last year 394 deaths were recorded. Rhino horns are highly popular in some illegal (非法的) markets, selling for up to $100,000 a kilogram.The big question no
30、w is whether or not the rhinos will suffer any pain or experience harmful side effects as a result of injecting such material into their horns. “This is what scientists are trying to work out with a lot of testing,” said Dr Mitzi Klein, the Australias Nuclear Science and Technology Organisations (AN
31、STO) scientist. “The most important thing is to protect the rhino and the environment around them, and not hurt the rhino one bit.” Dr Guy Castley from Griffith University said that any injection into the horn itself wont hurt because the horn is made up of a material called keratin, which is the sa
32、me as human nails and hair. “The horn itself does not have any nerves or blood vessels (神经或血管) inside it. So its not likely to cause the rhino any discomfort or pain,” he said.Dr Castley stressed that its too early to say if radioactive material will be used and Dr Klein agreed that radiation wont c
33、ome near any rhino until they discover a way to put the radiation safely in the horn “. so that it does not spread to the body or hurt anything in the environment.”“We need to protect rhinos, because were in danger of losing them forever. If we can find a way to safely put radiation in the horns, it
34、 could end poaching, because it would no longer be safe for people to use horns to make medicine,” Dr Klein said. Sensors could also be used to pick up radioactive material in the horns, making it harder for poachers to send them to other countries.12What is the author mainly talking about in paragr
35、aph 2?APoaching is under effective control.BRhinos are in a dangerous situation.CThe protection of rhinos is rather costly.DRhinos are very popular in South Africa.13According to Dr Klein, why is lots of testing needed?ATo find out what makes up rhino horns.BTo decide which medicine is suitable for
36、rhinos.CTo examine whether the injection will harm rhinos.DTo show that rhino horns are useless in treating illnesses.14What is Dr Castleys attitude toward using radioactive material?ACareful.BSatisfied.CUncertain.DDoubtful.15What is the main purpose of the text?ATo report a research result on rhino
37、s.BTo introduce a possible way to save rhinos.CTo stress the importance of stopping poaching.DTo explain the ill effects of radioactive material.If you have a hard time getting along with your teachers, going to class can be a nightmare (噩梦).So here are some tips to help you build a friendly relatio
38、nship with almost all the teachers.Talk to your teachers. In many cases, a short discussion can clear up the entire conflict (冲突). Ask your teachers if it is convenient for you to talk in private. 16 If you appear angry or unhappy in front of them, the conflict is unlikely to be solved. 17 Teachers
39、have many years of teaching experience in the subjects they teach. So discussing the best ways to succeed in the classroom may give you the opportunity to see the best instructors.Learn to understand their teaching methods. 18 If you are used to a very relaxing class, learning to be successful in a
40、strict environment is difficult and vice versa (反之亦然). In most cases, it is necessary to give yourself some time to get used to a new teaching method.Ask about your teachers hobbies. If you know about one of their hobbies, you can talk about it with them. And you can try to find if you have somethin
41、g in common. 19 Learn why your teachers choose to teach. Approach the teachers at an appropriate (适当的) time before or after class, not during class. Consider saying something like, “Ive always wondered why people become teachers. 20 Why did you decide to teach?”AIt seems to be a difficult job.BAsk y
42、our teachers how you can do well in class.CJoin in activities with your teachers after school.DAlways be polite and show respect in a conversation.EA way to discover the positive side of things is to keep diaries.FA shared interest may help you see your teachers from a different viewpoint.GSometimes
