Some African schools are adding programs that teach something called“soft skills” to students.Soft skills are personal 1 that help a person understand how others feel or behave so that he is able to communicate with them or deal with them easily. Officials(官员) say this kind of training can help students 2 in the job market, and in life.
The training is being offered at a Secondary School in Rwanda. For weeks, 3 students have been visiting neighbourhood businesses. The purpose of these field trips is for the young people to learn what is necessary to get a job. 4 , they stop at a SIM card business to ask what qualities the owner looks for in an employee(雇员).

二、阅读短文,回答问题(答案不超过8个单词)
Summer vacation means long days, sleeping in or enjoying the summer sun. It is quite true for students to enjoy a rest after a long and difficult year. But more and more parents fear their kids forgetting a lot of knowledge, so they send their children to summer schools. Because summer schools can help children go over the knowledge that they have learnt during the school year.
In summer schools, students probably study in a more relaxing situation and can come up with interesting topics for discussion with their teachers. Usually, the number of students attending summer schools is smaller, so this gives them a good chance to connect with other students and teachers better.If a student has failed a course, summer schools may help him or her. Moreover, they are building

their creativity(创造力) and imagination(想象力) as well as learning social skills.2
On the other hand, summer schools bring children problems at the same time. It takes children the whole summer vacation to learn without playing. That is too long. As a result, it may make them less interested in school during the coming year.
For many students, taking summer classes can be a tiring experience. Teachers teach the subjects too quickly, which only harms the whole education of students. Summer schools are usually expensive.They usually offer only a few subjects. So many students have to take classes that they don't like.
A summer school can be a good chance for students who need it, but it can be difficult for students who need a rest. So you can decide whether a summer school is suitable for your children.
1. What does summer vocation mean for most students according to the passage?
2. Why do more and more parents send their children to summer schools?
3. How many advantages about summer schools are mentioned in this passage?
4. How do many students feel about taking summer classes?
5. Do parents need to send their children to summer classes in the writer's opinion?
三、首字母填空
Basketball can be fun, or it can be trouble. People gather around a ball, but their reactions(反应)often go b 1 the object. It was a terribly hot summer day when the group of us appeared on the basketball court. Silently, we t 2 up and played, as always. The sun was a big“squeezer(挤压者)”, as it not only squeezed out of us sweat(汗水) and e 3 , but also our unhappy feelings. Body contact became more and more often, and we could all f 4 the attacks of elbows(肘部). After another round of game, one of the players and I fell to the ground at the same time. From his burning eyeballs,I could see a f 5 was almost unavoidable.
It suddenly came to me that my tins of Cola were lying on the ground, about an inch away from me. “Buddy, hot down here. What about a drink?” I said to him. C 6 I rolled(滚动) one to him,looking at him in the eyes with my most sincere facial expression. “I guess I'm quite fine. Lucky no b 7 bones or we’ ll end up in the hospital!” I said.
Other players watching nearby all laughed. I could clearly see some movement on his face. My h 8 did work! He picked the Cola up, tried to open it, and walked over. As he passed by my side,he held out his left hand, and s 9 at me. I smiled back, took his hand, and gave him a light shake.
A gentle wind caught me on the face as I returned to the basketball court. The sun continued to provide w 10 for us. What could be better than a group of school students exchanging basketball skills on a warm, sunny afternoon?
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
