It was a very old book. They turned the old, yellow pages. It was strange to read the words. They stood still on the pages, instead of moving across a screen. "What a waste!" said Tommy. "When you finish the book, you just throw it away, I guess. Our television screen has a million books on it! I wouldn't throw it away." Margie asked, "What's the book about?" "School." "Why would anyone write about school?" "Because it's an old kind of school, from hundreds of years ago. They had a teacher, but it was a person. There was a special building, and all the kids and teachers went there." Margie wanted to read about those funny schools. But her mother called, "Margie! School!" Margie's classroom was right next to her bedroom. Her teacher was a machine. It was on and waiting for her. The screen was lit up. The machine said: "Today's lesson is on maths. Please put yesterday's homework in the opening." Margie did so sadly. She was thinking about the old schools. All the kids from the neighbourhood came, and laughed and shouted in the playground. They sat together in the classroom, and went home together after school. And the teachers were people... Margie was thinking about how the students must have loved school in the old days. She was thinking about the fun they had. 1. When did Tommy find a real book? A. On 17 May 2057 B. On 17 May 2157 C. On 15 May 2157 D. On 17 March 2157 2.

I've been back in the UK for three days, but it feels like a century! It's amazing to see my family. Also, I really love Christmas and the delicious food. However, I've had some digital problems here. Today, I wanted to get some vegetables and meat from a shop. I decided to ride a shared bike to get there. But it took forever to find a bike! I finally found an old one. But that 20-minute ride cost me an arm and a leg—4.8 pounds! In the shop, I quickly got everything I needed. I wanted to pay with my smartphone. I asked the shopkeeper to show the QR code, but she didn't understand! Next, I tried to use my digital wallet, but the shop's payment system didn't work. The shopkeeper told me to use cash. As I always make digital payments in China, I never carry my wallet. I had to go home to get some cash. When I got home, I was so tired that I gave up on cooking. I ordered my favourite dishes through an app instead, but the delivery was really slow. When my dishes finally arrived 90 minutes later, they were stone cold! I had to heat them one by one in the oven. I felt tired and hungry. Except for today, I've had a great holiday. However, I'm looking forward to going back to China. The technology there lets me live a more convenient life! 6. How long has the writer been back in the UK? A. For one day B. For three days C. For a week D. For a month 7.

Shared bikes are easy to find in the UK D. The writer always carries cash in China C Schools change with time. A hundred years ago, most students walked to school and studied in a big room with one teacher. They used books to learn, and there were no computers or TVs. Now, many students go to school by bike, bus or car. Some even study at home on their computers. Their teachers can be far away. They send homework and get grades through the Internet. Students can also learn about the world with just a click of the mouse. But the old days of school still have something special. Students sat together and helped each other. They played games on the playground during breaks. They made friends easily and kept those friendships for a long time. What will schools be like in the future? Will there be no classrooms at all? Will students learn only through robots? No one knows. But one thing is sure: the best schools are always those that make students happy to learn. 11.

Robots will be the only teachers C. We don't know the exact forms D. Students will not need to learn 15. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The history change of schools B. The problems of digital life C. The fun of old book reading D. The convenience of technology D Have you ever tried to study on a screen and in a real book? Which one do you like better? A study shows that reading on paper is better than reading on screens for long-term memory. When you read a paper book, you can feel the pages and you know exactly where you are in the book. You can also make notes easily on the pages. These things help you remember what you read. On the other hand, reading on screens is often faster. You can search for words quickly and move to new pages in a second. But it's easy to get distracted. You may see pop-up ads or get a message from a friend. These things stop you from focusing on the book. For students, it's a good idea to use both ways. Read on screens for quick information and read on paper for important things that you need to remember. This way, you can get the best of both worlds. 16. What does the study show about reading? A. Reading on screens is better for long-term memory B. Reading on paper is better for long-term memory C. Reading on paper is faster than reading on screens D. Reading on screens is better for making notes 17. Why is reading on paper good for memory? A. It is faster and more convenient B. It is easy to get distracted C. It has more pop-up ads D.

It get you to make long-term memory D. It has better pages to feel 19. What may stop you from focusing on a screen book? A. The pages of the book B. The notes you make C. Pop-up ads and messages D.
