After university in 2011, Samuel went to a rural primary school for native children, where, on his first day,
another teacher told him, "Samuel, you don't have to do much, they're just Orang Asli-native children." This was
what Samuel would spend years fighting against.
The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty, melting into society, and losing their own identity and
culture due to others' disregard of it. The main barrier in teaching these children was that many of the teachers
thought that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make
no difference, so nobody bothered to try. The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas (污名), often
doubting what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes, and little effort was made to create an
appropriate learning environment. Consequently, the school was one of the worst-performing in the district.
Samuel cared about his native students and accepted their culture, leading him to see their potential. However,
he also came to see that they did not have equal opportunities compared to urban schools, due to the lack of
facilities. So he set up a crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with
更多资料添加微信号:hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺:乐知课堂tablets and computers. The Orang Asli children now learn technology, experience English and communicate in
English with volunteers all over Malaysia and overseas.
Consequently, the students have improved in national standardized examinations, from a pass rate of 30% in
English (2008-2012) to an average of 80% (2013-2017). These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children
are considered capable of academically.
4. What did the teacher's words suggest about the native children?
A. They were intelligent. B. They were hopeless.
C. They were unfriendly. D. They were independent.
5. What major problem did Samuel need to solve?
A. The poverty of local people. B. The lack of facilities in his school.
C. The unfair treatment of the native kids. D. The unsuitable teaching methods.
6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The change of native students.
B. The importance of learning English.
C. The improvement of native education.
D. Samuel's work for the native kids.
7. What can we learn from Samuel's story?
A. Respect makes a big difference.
B. The academic performance comes first.
C. Everyone deserves access to education.
D. One method can't apply to each situation.

Saving the giant panda from extinction isn't just good for the bears-it's good for the bottom line too,a new
analysis by an international team of scientist shows.
The results,published in the journal Current Biology,highlight the economic benefits that they say go hand in
hand with environmental conservation. In order to protect giant pandas,the government must protect their
forests,which provide a host of often-under appreciated services to the communities that live in and around them.
For example,forests allow for the growing of crops and the grazing(放牧)of animals,store clean fresh water and
supply firewood,lumber(木材)and many useful plants.They manage storm runoff and help prevent erosion(侵
蚀)。
The pandas themselves also hold enormous cultural value that has risen rapidly in recent decades among
Chinese residents,the study also points out. "From 1980 to 2010,the cultural values of pandas and their reserves
更多资料添加微信号:hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺:乐知课堂almost doubled,largely driven by tourism use,rising 500-fold from 1980 to 2010, "they said.
Taking all of these factors into account,the scientists calculated a total economic value of Approximately $2. 6
billion in 2010 in China. Keep in mind,the costs of preserving panda habitat at current levels come to about$255
million. The study authors said that including the global cultural Value of the animals would increase the total
economic value to $6. 9 billion per year-or about 27 times the cost of habitat preservation.
The researchers also noted that the investment in panda habitat has improved the living conditions of local
residents. They pointed to data from the Chinese Statistical Yearbook showing that the annual income in Sichuan,
Shanxi and Gansu provinces,which sit next to panda reserves,rose by an average of 56%from 2000 to 2010.
Farmers in counties within these provinces that were next to the panda reserves saw their annual incomes rise by
64%,on average.
The findings provide a promising example of how conservation efforts can pay off,and they could be applied
to many other threatened and endangered species,the study authors said.
8. What does the underlined words "bottom line"refer lo in the first paragraph?
A. Moral standard. B. Economic profits.
C. Overall development. D. Environmental conservation.
9. Which is one of the results of preserving pandas?
A. Less farmland. B. More foreign trade.
C. More forest fires. D. Better farming conditions,
10. In China,about how many times do economic values outweigh preserving cost?
A. 26. B. 10.
C. 4. D. 3.
11. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Protecting pandas takes great efforts.
B. Pandas are a major tourism attraction in China.
C. Conservation of pandas is economically rewarding.
D. Pandas make great contributions to the environment.
D
For many years, school children in the US have taken on “field trips” to cultural institutions such as museums
of art. Educators arrange them in the belief that schools exist not only to teach economically useful skills, but also to
produce civilized young people who appreciate the art and culture. While there are parents who will take their children
to cultural places in their free time, there are plenty of other children who will never have this kind of opportunity
unless schools offer it. So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal
更多资料添加微信号:hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺:乐知课堂access to their cultural heritage.
However, the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing, with the number of tours organized for
school groups falling significantly in museums all around the country. The most obvious reason is the issue of finance.
Because there are increasing demands on their funds, after all, computers and sports facilities aren’t cheap, schools
are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have. Faced with this dilemma, field
trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are seen by many as a luxury.
Additionally, the nature of these field days is also changing. Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks
or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning. This shift could have a basis
in generational differences between teachers’ reasons for organizing days out of school. A recent survey conducted
among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were significantly more likely to take the primary purpose
of a field trip as a learning experience than younger teachers, who view it as fun.
Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may have a negative effect on children’s development. A research
led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved
their knowledge of art and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and
were more likely to visit cultural places in the future. The researchers warn that if schools cut field trips or switch
to less educational destinations, valuable opportunities to broaden and enrich children’s learning experiences are
lost.
12. What is the initial purpose of field trips to cultural institutions?
A. To leach students useful skills in economics.
B. To make every student exposed to art and culture.
C. To educate students to preserve cultural heritage.
D. To encourage parents to take their children there.
13. Which factor most probably leads to the trend of fewer field trips?
A. The drop in school funds. B. Students’ demand for fun.
C. The dilemma of school finance. D. Teachers’ generational differences.
14. What does the underlined phrase “This shift” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The switch from old generations to young generations.
B. The switch from sporting events to cultural experiences.
C. The change from an opportunity to learn to a treat to entertain.
D. The change from educational destinations to luxurious attractions.
15. What can be inferred about field trips from the research by Jay Greene?
A. Students are rewarded with more cultural knowledge.
更多资料添加微信号:hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺:乐知课堂B. Amusement parks enrich children’s learning experiences.
C. Cutting field trips is critical to the future of the museum.
D. Field trips guarantee better future academic performance.

Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn't matter if the words come from ourselves or
someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
___16___ We're usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn't be because more
and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This ''self-talk'' helps us motivate
ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of
self-talk tends to be negative. ___17___
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be
aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might
use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner.
___18___
Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. We
remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: ___19___ If what
we want to say doesn't pass this test, then it's better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak
positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. ___20___ Will we use our
words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
A. Is it loving?
B. How should I say it?
C. We all talk to ourselves sometimes.
D. Negative words destroy all those things.
E. Generally people like positive and pleasant words.
F. However, critical language may cause anger and defense.
G. So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.
