25．（10分）What's better for learning，hands﹣on projects or tests？
动手操作的项目测试
A．Learning，not memorizing
B．Studying gets boring
C．Less stress with tests
D．Better job preparation
E．Better by the book
F．Creative learning
（1）I think kids learn better by studying for tests．If you actually sit and study
what you are supposed to learn，you'll remember it．Hands﹣on projects might end up
making a kid feel stressed if they are trying to finish on time，and If you are stressed，you
might not learn as much．
（2） When people study，they remember what was in the book．If they know they have a
test，they will most likely to take notes on all the important information to help them with the
test，so they will learn it better．
（3） With a hands﹣on project，you can be creative while you learn．It's also a lot more
fun than sitting at a desk with flashcards．Plus，with a hands﹣on project，you can learn
more than you expected．It's more satisfying to learn on your own without someone
explaining it to you．
（4） Hands﹣on projects are better．When you are studying for a test，it can get boring
and then you can get distracted（注意力分散的）．You learn better doing projects because
it is not boring and you
experience new things depending on what you are doing．
（5） I think kids learn hands﹣on projects because they have to consider the topic，instead
of just memorizing information that they'll forget about after the test．Also，completing a
project is good
for spending time with your friends or family．26．（10 分）In students' daily talks， celebrities （ 名 人 ） are usually a hot topic，

as the eleventh animal in the Chinese zodiac ﹣﹣ the Shengxiao，Dog is a symbol of loyalty

Words and phrases including dogs （Gou in Chinese） are commonly used by young
people when telling jokes about themselves．For example，you can say "Valentine's Day has
nothing to do with me since I am a single dog．" It is believed that dog﹣related words and
phrases usually have good humour．

Among some young people，adding "dog" to a friend's name has the meaning of a close
relationship．One of the most famous examples in China is that the actor Lin Gengxin is called
Lin Gou by his close friends and beloved fans．

Kids with pleasant names are easy to bring up，according to an ancient Chinese saying．
Parents in the countryside prefer to give nicknames including Gou Sheng and Gou Dan to theirkids in the hope that they are as easy to be raised as dogs．

29．（10分）Learning to communicate well is a skill you will use all your life． You need this
skill in your personal life to express your feelings to friends and family members． You need
to be able to communicate well in school， too． Your future job success may also depend
on your ability to communicate．
Kinds of Communication
There are two main kinds of communication． The first kind is verbal communication（
语 言 交 流 ）． It includes the use of words to send information． Speaking and writing
are both forms of verbal communication．
Nonverbal communication（ 非语言交流） includes any means of sending a message
that does not use words． Your appearance， body language and the way you react are all
forms of nonverbal communication．
Global（全球的） ConnectionsCommunication Differences
Western cultures value direct eye contact（交流 ） and train kids to "look people in the
eye"． But Japanese， African， and many Latin American cultures avoid eye contact to show
respect．
Go Green
Green Technology
Have you ever considered computers to be green technology？ Think about all the trees
needed to make paper for books and your written activities． The ability to transfer（ 转 移 ）
the written tasks to a computer makes it quite an environmentally friendly invention．
Community Connections
Good Manners
It is easy to have good manners if you try to think of others first． If someone new joins
your group of friends or moves into your neighborhood， make a self﹣introduction first． Make
him or her feel welcome． Help someone who needs a hand． Hold the door open for the
person behind you．
Being an Active Listener
Communication is a two﹣way process． Sometimes you are the sender and sometimes
you are the receiver． To receive the messages clearly， it helps to be an active listener． Active
listening is a communication skill in which the listener shows a clear understanding of what a
person is saying． You can do this in several ways．
◆Repeat what you think the speaker is saying．
◆Let the speaker know you are listening by nodding or shaking your head．
◆If the message you receive is not clear， ask questions．
◆Listen before answering．
◆Do not interrupt（打断）． Allow the speaker to finish what he or she has to say．

字）
