It should be in an area where students will have a short travel time, and it is also i 1 to be in a place where there is no heavy traffic. It should also be far away from factories so that it will be q 2 around the school and students can study with attention. The building should also be big e 3 to place the classes in a planned way. The school should p 4 all facilities (设施) for students to get better education. There should also be playgrounds and some places where the students can rest their minds d 5 the breaks. The teachers should be able to prepare the lessons as interesting as possible and c 6 about the students. Teachers should always be r 7 to help students when they need help, not only as a teacher but also as a p 8 or a friend. In my ideal school, students should not be a 9 of making mistakes or asking questions. If they don’t u 10 , they shouldn’t hesitate (犹豫) to ask questions. Nobody is right all the time, and it is natural that everyone makes mistakes. Everyone should point out (指出) other people’s mistakes in a good way so that they can learn from their mistakes and can be a better person. Night schools are nothing new today. Li Mei is an engineer in the day. But in the e 1 , she becomes a student at a night school in Chengdu. She is trying new h 2 with her 5-year-old son, such as cooking and singing. She used to spend evenings w 3 her son play in the park. Now she can try new things with him at a night school. A growing number of Chinese people go to night schools. They can learn c 4 things, from art to sports, for free. Young people who want to l 5 for new skills and friends go to night schools. In the 1980s, many people w 6 to night schools for further education. However, night schools were gone b 7 more people got higher education. Some new night schools came to Shanghai last autumn. Then more night schools q 8 appeared in other cities. For example, Miss Wang from Deyang thinks that night schools are good p 9 for her to make friends. “I used to spend much of my time alone. I have felt more connected with modern society since I became a student of the night school,” she said. Young people wish to make themselves better so that t 10 daily lives can be meaningful. That has made night schools develop rapidly. Students are used to speaking Mandarin (普通话) both at home and school. H 1 , more than 20 third-grade students from the Affiliated Primary School of Hunan Normal University have c 2 to learn the local dialect (方言) in the classroom. According to China Daily, the class was t 3 by language professors at universities such as Hunan Normal University, Central South University and Changsha Normal University.

That’s w 8 the country has started to preserve (保护) different language resources in recent years,” she said. Ms. Luo told China Daily that promoting the u 9 of Mandarin and dialects is not contradictory (相互矛盾的). “Dialect protection is a f 10 trend (趋势), and different dialects, which carry different cultures and values, should not, and will not, disappear,” she said. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整 Many students ask me for advice about how to i 1 their English.

When teens do crafting, it makes them think in c 1 ways and helps develop their artistic skills. They can design and create things that are unique. Second, it develops life skills. Through DIY activities, teens can learn to solve p 2 , work in teams and be independent. For example, when building a shelf, they must measure, cut, and put pieces together. If something goes w 3 , they have to find a way to fix it. Third, DIY helps teens stay focused. Doing a creative task lets them keep their a 4 and focus well. This can also make them more p 5 , because many projects take time to finish. Also, DIY allows making personalized gifts. Many DIY crafts can be changed to make special gifts for friends or f 6 . Handmade gifts often show more care and thought than store-bought ones. M 7 , DIY keeps teens active. I 8 of sitting in front of a computer or TV, they can spend time doing something hands-on and meaningful. It is also a great way to relax and r 9 stress after studying. Finally, DIY can even save money. Making or r 10 things themselves means they don’t have to buy new items or pay someone else to fix them. What’s DIY exactly? It s 1 for “do-it-yourself”. DIY began in the West. In Western countries, it was very expensive for people to pay someone to repair or d 2 their houses. So people tried to do most things around the house themselves. An English TV host named Barry Bucknell made it more and more p 3 with people. Now people can do DIY on many things. Why are more and more people crazy about DIY? When you do DIY, you’re sure to save some money. It may take you some time to do it yourself instead of p 4 someone else to do it for you. DIY makes you special too. Use your mind and try to make something great with your two h 5 . Your DIY products will make you more popular with friends. They are just what you want and need. What’s more, DIY makes you feel great about yourself. When you do DIY, it’s just a kind of e 6 to keep you healthy. And it makes you feel c 7 to nature and enjoy the joy of work. Also, it makes you be serious about your work and stop thinking about anything unhappy. You’ll feel relaxed in this way. For p 8 , DIY is a great way to educate children. When children do DIY, they learn some knowledge they can’t learn from books. They can learn some life s 9 that are good for their future too. In a word, DIY is always with us because we r 10 need it in life. 根据首字母提示完成短文。       Imagine a world with no wild animals: no elephants, no tigers or lions. To some people, that thought is too t 1 for words. So they are doing something about it, Tiffany Soechting is one of them.       Being among wild animals—f 2 them and caring for them—is all Tiffany Soechting has wanted to do. And that is exactly what she does!        Soechting is the human"mother"to the 500 animals that l 3 on her family’s wildlife farm in San Antonio. Soechting says she knows them all. H 4 , two reticulated giraffes (网纹长颈鹿) take up a special place in her heart. The number of reticulated giraffes has become smaller in the l 5 15 years. “I’m so glad to get help from five wildlife researchers. All our hard work helps p 6 those giraffes.” Besides her animal caring, Soechting also holds monthly classes, where she t 7 school children about the animals. Soechting also opens the farm to the public. Visitors not only learn about the animals, but also can get c 8 to them. And the animals are not against that. For them, people are p 9 of their natural environment. The farm is partly a conservation area, an educational centre and an animal park. As the animals walk peacefully around the grounds, it is easy for people to f 10 that San Antonio, a busy city, is just a few miles away. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使其意思完整。 Many animals hide to stay alive. They hide in many w 1 . Some animals hide in leaves; some animals hide in snow. Usually their colours or shapes help p 2 them. It’s hard to see an Arctic bear in snow. Its white f 3 helps protect it. Chameleons (变色龙) can hide by c 4 colours. Their skin turns the same colour a 5 what is around them. Some chameleons can change colours in five minutes. Many animals try to look b 6 than they are to stay alive. Some animals can make other animals think they are very big. If they look very big, animals that are l 7 for food will run away. Bears can walk on two legs. They look very, very scary. Some animals will run a 8 from them. Many animals try to stay around other animals. This helps them stay alive. Zebras stay c 9 together so that they can help each other look out of danger. Seeing many stripes at once can also confuse (使混乱) animals that want to eat them. Some birds stay in a circle, each toward a different direction. In t 10 way they can also help each other stay alive by looking around for animals that may want to eat one of them. While deserts are famous for being especially (特别) hot during the day, they can get surprisingly cold at night! Do you know why this would h 1 ? Sand is quite an interesting material. When the sun heats (加热) the sand in deserts, the sand won’t t 2 in the heat. Instead, it acts l 3 a mirror and heats the air above the ground. Other k 4 of terrain (地形), such as forests, beaches, and mountains, are not as hot as deserts. That’s because they don’t radiate (辐射) all the heat to the air above the ground, but deserts do. Now you understand the hotness of deserts during the daytime. But w 5 about the coldness at night? As you may know, water is good at catching and s 6 heat. In deserts, h 7 , the situation is quite different. The air in deserts is really d 8 , which means that there’s little water in the air. When the s 9 goes down, the ground will lose its heat. And the air above the ground cannot catch or save the heat because there’s not much water. This is why the heat is lost so q 10 that the temperature drops at night in a short time. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。 Do you like winter? It’s the coldest season. Here are some things everyone should know a 1 winter. Winter is the season when the temperature d 2 and white snow covers the ground. When the temperature is below zero, water freezes and ice forms. When it snows, everything becomes w 3 and looks very beautiful. After a heavy snowfall, children play in the snow. They build snow houses, make s 4 and have snowball fights. They t 5 snowballs at each other. Everyone has a good time in the d 6 snow. The cold weather can also be dangerous. Sometimes people slip on the i 7 and cars slide down hills, knocking into each other. Some people also catch a b 8 cold when they stay out in the cold. Because winter is so cold, people have to find ways to keep w 9 . People wear heavy coats, scarves for their necks, gloves for their hands and boots for their feet. Children drink hot milk w 10 they come in from the cold. And families sit around the fire at night and talk about the things they did during the day. 根据首字母提示完成短文。 Have you ever been to Dongting Lake?
