He is Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi. Last year marked the 130 anniversary of his birth. People in different parts of China commemorated (纪念) Tao by visiting his memorial halls or holding meetings to reflect on his thoughts on education. Born in Anhui province, China, 1891, Tao studied at Columbia University, US, in 1914. 2 . But when Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly copy Dewey’s education method or theories. For Tao, education is an active process in real-life experiences rather than one of telling and being told. He proposed (提出) “unity (融合) of teaching, learning, and reflective acting”. 3 After conducting surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy (文盲) in China went beyond 70 percent. 4 To deal with the lack of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal collage (晓庄师范学院) in the northern suburbs of Nanjing to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at rural schools. 5 He set up Yucai Middle School in the suburbs of Chongqing and offered free education to refugee (避难) children after the Japanese invasion of China began in 1937. Maybe Tao’s motto is the best explanation for his life, “Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not even a leaf of grass.” A. There he studied educational philosophy under the guidance of John Dewey, an American philosopher and educational reformer (改革家). B. Even during the anti-Japanese war, Tao never forgot his ambition. C. To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working. D. They are tasked with the mission to spread knowledge ideas and truth. E. On the voyage (航行) of life, he kindled the light of hope for everyone. F. Apart from reforming education methods, Tao also tried his best to promote mass education (大众教育). Passage 2 (Great ideas) Every culture produces men and women with sharp minds who spend their days thinking about the world and how to live a good and happy life. 1 Born in 551 BC, Confucius, Kong Zi, has made the greatest contribution to Chinese culture in history and his philosophical ideas are widely known. Although he was raised in a poor family, he visited famous scholars and learned a lot. He developed his thoughts into a system of philosophy known as Confucianism. 2 First, he said we should respect the king. Next, we should do everything possible to respect each other. Finally, he believed that we can have a really good and happy life if we learn to live in harmony (和谐). This means that we should try to find a way to live peacefully both with each other and with the natural world. 3 His friends and followers collected them after his death. Slowly, people everywhere accepted his wisdom. 4 For example, one of his famous sayings is: “What you know, you know; what you don’t know, you don’t know.” Confucius was a great teacher as well and developed education for ordinary (普通的) people. He traveled around to promote his political thinking but failed. But he never gave up. He is a great Chinese spiritual leader. Over the last 2,000 years, his philosophy has continued to influence China and the rest of the world. 5 A. Now his wise sayings have influenced many people in different countries. B. It is regarded as the symbol of Chinese culture. C. However, none of his wise sayings were written down while he was alive. D. They are the philosophers. E. Confucius found three main truths about how to live a good life. Passage 3 (Family traditions) Seeing people in your family fight can be really terrible. Whether the fight is about you or not, you might feel sad, angry or even ashamed when your family members shout at each other. 1 Here are some ideas. Keep your cool. 2 If you are very angry, you can try to take a deep breath or count to 10. Before you talk with your family members, you can also make some physical movements. For example, you can hit a baseball a few times or beat your pillow(枕头) heavily. Call a family meeting. See if there’s a good time that works for everyone in your family to get together. 3 If you are a young boy or girl, try asking your parents to call a family meeting. Listen to everyone. 4 That way, everyone can say what’s going on. Sometimes, letting everyone talk is not easy especially when their words make you mad. However, if you let everyone talk, they’ll listen to what you will say, too. 5 Instead of blaming (责备) your family members or calling them out, try to speak out your feelings as peacefully as possible. For example, instead of saying “You shout at me too much”, you could say, “I feel afraid when you shout at me.” A. Use “I” to express your feelings. B. It’s not easy to keep calm during a fight. C. Give everyone in the family a chance to speak. D. Do you want to know how to end a family fight? E. Then you can meet together and talk about the family fight. Passage 4 (A better me) “I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Perhaps your parents had the same complaints when they were your age long ago. 1 One possible reason is when your father or mother becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying about things. 2 They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, etc. 3 With such hope, they will do everything they can for you. 4 It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone them if you stay somewhere else late so that your parents don’t call every friend in the phone book looking for you. 5 Learn to take responsibility for mistakes. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you in return. Try to understand your parents. They are also practicing being parents and need help from you. They may make mistakes sometimes, but they are the person who love you always! A. They wish you to grow up healthily and happily. B. When you make mistakes, be brave to say sorry to them. C. Why do some parents seem not so friendly in children’s eyes? D. So what can you do to better your relationship with your parents? E. They worry about everything about you from the time you were born. Passage 1（26·从化期中） The Feynman Technique is a fantastic way to learn and understand new things. It’s named after a great scientist called Richard Feynman, who has a special talent for explaining ideas that are difficult to understand in a simple and fun way. This technique can help you become a super learner. What topic are you curious about? Take out a piece of paper. Write out everything you know about the subject you want to study further. As you learn more about the topic, add it to the paper. 1 Can you explain your chosen concept to a 12-year-old kid? 2 Imagine that you are going to teach the topic to a young kid: explain the topic with clear and easy words, like you’re giving a report or telling a story. Teaching helps you understand things better! If you meet something difficult, don’t worry! 3 Learning is all about exploring and asking questions. Keep practising and teaching the topic to yourself or others. Write down your easy explanation. The act of writing helps reflection (深思) and learning. 4 Reflection is about how we learn, what we know and what we need to learn. 5 By teaching and explaining things in your own words, you can become a true expert! So keep exploring, stay curious, and have fun learning with the Feynman Technique! A. Go back to your books or ask a teacher or grown-up for help. B. In fact, reflection is the most important part of the learning process. C. The Feynman Technique is all about breaking down big ideas into smaller and manageable pieces. D. Anyone can make a subject difficult, but only someone who understands it can make it simple. E. If you use a different colour pen when you learn new things, you can literally watch your knowledge grow. Passage 2（26·天河期中） Putting things off is a common trouble for many middle school students. With piles of schoolwork and after-school activities, it’s easy to feel anxious and push things to later. 1 Soon, you may fall behind in classes, and your grades might drop. According to the experts, there are some effective ways to fight it. First of all, break big tasks into tiny and manageable steps. A huge project can feel as scary as climbing a mountain. But if you divide it into small parts, it becomes much easier. 2 Just tell yourself, “Today, I’ll pick a topic and write one paragraph.” Tomorrow, you can do some research and add another section. Finally, the “mountain” will be overcome before you know it. Besides the “tiny steps” method, the “work-and-rest” trick also helps a lot. Set a timer for 25 minutes—during this time, focus fully on your work. 3 During the period, you can have a snack, walk around your room, or stretch your legs freely. This short rest lets your brain refresh, and it’s easier to keep going once you start again. 4 Put your mobile phones away and find a quiet spot where you can focus. What’s more, treat yourself to something small after finishing a task, like listening to your favourite song or eat a piece of candy. These little rewards keep you motivated. 5 Be patient with yourself-even small progress is progress. Finally, you’ll surely see the payoff of your hard work. A. Then take a five-minute break. B. Also, stay away from what pulls your attention. C. For example, you’ve got to write a five-page paper. D. But if you keep putting them off, they can snowball. E. Change doesn’t happen overnight, so stick to it every day. Passage 3 （26·越秀区期中） Restaurants are changing with new technology. In the past, they were places where everything was prepared by hand. But machines made cooking faster. 1 AI can do amazing things in restaurants. 2 Within a second, the smart ordering system can quickly recognize your face, favourite dishes, and even your feelings. That’s the power of AI-driven personalized dining. 3 Robots can take the place of masters by copying their cooking skills, bringing even the most difficult dish to your dining table. They can also produce dishes much faster without a mistake, making sure every meal is an enjoyable experience. Moreover, AI is taking care of your health. It can check the food quality quickly, so only the best food goes on your plate. It can tell when to order more food to make sure there will always be fresh food in the cooking area. 4 By looking at what you usually eat and your health information, an AI-powered system can create meal plans just for you. China has a long history of great food, and Chinese people have high expectations of food. 5 Building an AI restaurant with Chinese characteristics can not only help people enjoy food more but also carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture. A. It also pays attention to your diet. B. Now, AI is making dining even better. C. Therefore, AI should meet this cultural need. D. Inside the kitchen, AI is changing the way of cooking. E. Imagine stepping into one where everything matches your tastes. Passage 4 （26·深圳中学期中） Lots of people have noticed that teenagers are spending more time on their phones than before. 1 They say the unhealthy information on the phone may be harmful to the teenagers. Besides, they are concerned that teenagers might waste a lot of their precious time on their phones. Dr. Elizabeth Dowell has recently pointed out that teens should stop using their phones sometimes after doing an experiment. In the experiment, she required two teenagers to obey a rule. 2 The rule could only be broken when they needed them for their schoolwork. Before handing in their phones as required by the experiment, both of the teenagers saw the experiment as a big challenge. They couldn’t imagine how they could live without their phones. 3 However, their responses after the 48-hour phone-free time were unexpected. Both of them said life with no phone was not as difficult as they thought. 4 According to them, without those phone messages, they felt less stressed and had more free time. As a result, they had more sleep, did more exercise and talked more with their family. 5 Maybe it has some other advantages waiting for us to discover. A. Instead, it turned out to be helpful. B. In addition, phones bring people lots of fun. C. And they also worried that they might feel lonely. D. However, experts are showing their worries about this. E. The experiment shows that life without phones actually brings good things. F. That is, they mustn’t use their phones, computers or the Internet for 48 hours. Passage 5（26·深圳实验中学期中） Emotional toughness (韧性) is the ability to stay strong and focused when facing challenges or criticism (批评). Many successful people, like Alexander Graham Bell and the Wright Brothers, had this quality. 1 Instead, it means standing up for your beliefs and setting clear boundaries (界限). To develop emotional toughness, we can follow these steps. One way is to learn who to trust. Emotionally tough people sometimes make mistakes at judging others but they learn from them and avoid repeating them. 2 By taking small actions outside your daily schedules, you can build confidence and prepare for bigger challenges. 3 Emotionally tough people stay healthy by exercising, sleeping well, and eating balanced meals. They stick to their routines even when they don’t feel like it. Building positive relationships is the fourth key step. Emotionally tough people spend time with those who inspire and support them. 4 Finally, focus on your own goals instead of comparing yourself to others. Emotionally tough people set clear goals, celebrate their achievements, and keep moving forward. They don’t waste time worrying about what others think. 5 It’s a skill that can be developed through practice and good habits. By following these steps, we can become stronger and better prepared to face life’s challenges. A. These relationships provide encouragement, especially during difficult times. B. Thirdly, self-discipline (自律) is also important. C. Another way is to try to step out of your comfort zone. D. It doesn’t mean being rude, cold, or ignoring others. E. They often compare themselves to others to measure their success. F. Emotional toughness is not something we are born with. Passage 6 （26·深圳宝安区） There are many reasons why people study history. 1 History can also provide us with a guide to making better decisions in the future. Knowing yourself History teaches you about yourself. If you did not know your own past, you would not know which subjects you liked or which sports you enjoyed. You would not know your pride or mistakes you should avoid. 2 History matters to groups as well as individuals. It shapes identity and shared values. Knowing others History teaches about the cultures that were unlike your own. You learn about other peoples, where they lived, and what was important to them. History teaches you cultural differences and helps you understand others’ thoughts and experiences. 3 . You also learn how these struggles have affected the way people view themselves and others. 4 History can provide you with a better understanding of where you live. You are part of a culture that interacts with the outside world. Even events that happen in other parts of the world affect your culture. Today’s events are shaped by the past. Knowing the past helps you figure out what is happening now. 5 . Your own history may have taught you that studying for a test results in better grades. In a similar way, world history has taught a country that providing young people with education makes them more productive when they become adults, and therefore, the country will become more powerful. A. Without personal history, you would not have an identity B. You learn about the struggles people have faced C. Individuals and countries both benefit from the wisdom that history can teach D. Knowing your world E. Understanding the past helps us to understand the world today F. Understanding through history Passage 7 Do you ever find yourself getting really unhappy for almost no reason? Or suddenly feeling down without knowing why? 1      An important cause for mood（情绪）changes is biology. When puberty（青春期）begins, the body starts producing hormones （荷尔蒙）. These hormones cause physical changes in the body. 2 Here are some things you can do that might make those bad moods a bit easier to deal with. 3 Although not every teen experiences mood changes to the some degree, they are common. Talk to people you trust. Friends can help each other by realizing that they are not alone in their feelings. Talking to parents is important, too. Parents can share their own experiences dealing with bad moods. 4 And a doctor can help to answer questions about development. Get enough sleep. Though it can be hard to find enough time, getting enough rest is very important. 5 Create. Taking part in some kinds of activities like building something out of wood or starting an art of music piece. Writing can help you organize and express your thoughts and feelings. Get your thoughts on paper. Do the same thing with paint, music or other art forms. Put your feelings into your art work. A. But at the same time, they also seem to cause mood changes. B. Taking part in some kinds of activities. C. Remember you’re not alone. D. Teachers are often good resources. E. But why is the feeling so common among teens? F. Being tired can lead to more sadness. Passage 8 If what you’re doing isn’t a challenge for you, then it won’t make you different. After all, we all need a bit of normal stress in our lives. 1 So, let’s challenge these limits. ●Figure out what scares you and keep doing it. If you’re a salesperson and you’re afraid of talking to people in person or on the phone right now, don’t just be scared and think you’ll fail. Spend at least five minutes every day picking up the phone and making a call. 2 But don’t give up after the first try! In the end, you can look fear right in the eye and say, “Come on. I’m not afraid!” 3 Make sure this hobby has nothing to do with your job. When you do this hobby, you can relax and get rid of stress. Some examples are cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Besides helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby might also give you some extra money. ●Set aside at least nine minutes every day for exercise. 4 A simple nine-minute run around your neighborhood can do great things for you. Exercise can not only help you keep your weight normal but also make you feel better about yourself. ●Travel and be interested in new people. Don’t just talk to the people you’re traveling with. Try to talk to the service staff too. You never know what kind of people they are. Get out of your house or go online and book a ticket right now. 5 A. Take a class for a hobby you’ve always wanted to try. B. Maybe someone will hang up on you. C. You don’t have to go to the gym. D. Running in the gym may be a better choice. E. Start traveling and learn to challenge yourself. F. If you stay in your comfort zone all the time, you’ll never see any progress. Passage 9 When you’re dealing with a stressful situation or experiencing a hard time, people in your life can help you. When someone who cares knows what you’re going through, it helps you feel understood and not so alone. 1 Problems seem smaller when you talk about them with the right person. You can do better and find out solutions more easily when you share your problems. There are lots of different ways to get and give help. 2 Sometimes you just need advice on things. Help can be very easy, like a homework project, or it can go on for a while, like teaching to bring up a failing grade or advising to solve a difficult personal situation. It’s likely you remember times someone helped you. 3 Friends helped you get through sadness or deal with disappointment. Teachers might have guided you through the college application process (大学申请). 4 You might give a hand to your classmate who met difficulty. Friends, parents, teachers and other adults can be great resources when you need help. There are also times when you need the extra help that a professional person can provide best. Doctors can offer specialized help for a health problem. 5 A. Parents taught you to stop a bad habit. B. Sometimes you just want to hear an encouraging word. C. Turn to the professional people for help when you need. D. And you can also remember times when you helped others. E. Having a right person means a lot. Passage 10 Einstein made great contributions (贡献) to the world, and his sayings are still remembered by people today. 1 “If you can’t explain it to a six-year-old, you don’t understand it yourself.” The more complicated (复杂的) you make something seem, the more you do not understand the inner meaning of it. 2 Did they make the most complicated topics that you did not understand full of vocabulary or make them easier to understand by simplifying them? “I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.” 3 Don’t get yourself worried about the future as the plans you make new may not work in the future. What matters most is living today Do your best right now and do not worry about tomorrow. “ 4 ” Imagination is very important. When you imagine something differently, you may begin to share it with others. People begin to see the world that you imagine. Together you can create new ideas and help each other. Take time to imagine something, and share your ideas with others. “Only those who try the absurd (荒诞的事物) can achieve the impossible.” Sometimes it seems silly that you are taking risks. 5 When you go beyond what others think is reasonable, an amazing thing starts to happen. A. Imagination is the highest form of research. B. Here is people’s understanding of some of them. C. It’s important to be modest and learn from others. D. Actually, you may be able to achieve the impossible. E. Think about the best teachers that you have had in your life. F. You are only certain about the moment that you have right now. Passage 11 Self-care means taking the time to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical health and mental (心理的) health. This can help you manage stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy. 1 Prioritize (优先考虑) your physical health. Taking care of your body is important for overall well-being. Daily exercise — even just 30 minutes of walking — can help you stay happy and healthy. Along with exercise, make sure you’re getting enough sleep. 2 A balanced diet and plenty of water can also improve your energy and focus throughout the day. Support your mental well-being. Self-care isn’t just about physical health, mental well-being also needs to be supported. 3 Spare some time for healthy activities you enjoy, such as reading and spending time in nature. Then focus on positivity. Recognize and challenge your negative and unhelpful thoughts. 4 Write them down or replay them in your mind. Manage your life and stay connected. 5 This way, you can focus on the task that matters first. Learn to say “no” to new tasks if you start to feel like you’re taking on too much. Be happy for what you finish each day. And try to reach out to friends or family members who can provide you with support and help. A. You may start with trying a relaxing activity. B. Remind yourself of the good things around you. C. Developing a personal exercise plan is also a good way. D. Even small acts of self-care in your daily life can have a big impact. E. For example, you can reduce phone or computer time before bedtime. F. Manage your tasks by deciding what must get done now and what can wait. Passage 12 Are you feeling that you have stopped improving even though you have been working hard? You may have reached a stage where learning slows down or even stops. 1 But it does not mean there is no way out. The following tips can help you break through. Start by setting clear goals. When progress slows, it often means you need a new direction. 2 This allows you to see your progress more clearly and helps you stay active when the learning feels difficult. 3 Sometimes learners cannot see their own weak points. Teachers or experienced friends can offer fresh views and point out areas for improvement. With their help, you can avoid repeating the same mistakes and make progress again. Changing the way you learn is another useful method. Doing the same thing repeatedly may lead to boredom and slow growth. Trying different ways — such as reading new books, practicing for 20 minutes each day, or studying with a friend—can bring back your interest. 4 A positive attitude matters just as much. A learning slowdown does not mean you have failed. 5 Believe in yourself and keep trying. With patience and effort, you can get past this stage and continue to improve. In short, a learning slowdown is not the end of your progress. By using these methods, you can break through the difficulty and continue moving forward. A. Asking others for advice is also helpful. B. This can be a very hard time for anyone. C. Try to learn from other people’s mistakes. D. Instead, it can be a sign that you are about to grow. E. These changes make learning more fun and effective. F. One simple way is to break your big goal into smaller steps. 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 考前押题07 阅读还原（期中专项训练） 话题1伟大的人物（人物传记） 话题2 伟大的人物及思想 话题3 家庭生活 话题4 青少年成长（问题与建议） Passage 1 (Great people) Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. 1 But there’s one person in China who is called the “teacher of teachers”.

With piles of schoolwork and after-school activities, it’s easy to feel anxious and push things to later. 1 Soon, you may fall behind in classes, and your grades might drop. According to the experts, there are some effective ways to fight it. First of all, break big tasks into tiny and manageable steps. A huge project can feel as scary as climbing a mountain. But if you divide it into small parts, it becomes much easier. 2 Just tell yourself, “Today, I’ll pick a topic and write one paragraph.” Tomorrow, you can do some research and add another section. Finally, the “mountain” will be overcome before you know it. Besides the “tiny steps” method, the “work-and-rest” trick also helps a lot. Set a timer for 25 minutes—during this time, focus fully on your work. 3 During the period, you can have a snack, walk around your room, or stretch your legs freely. This short rest lets your brain refresh, and it’s easier to keep going once you start again. 4 Put your mobile phones away and find a quiet spot where you can focus. What’s more, treat yourself to something small after finishing a task, like listening to your favourite song or eat a piece of candy. These little rewards keep you motivated. 5 Be patient with yourself-even small progress is progress. Finally, you’ll surely see the payoff of your hard work. A. Then take a five-minute break. B. Also, stay away from what pulls your attention. C. For example, you’ve got to write a five-page paper. D. But if you keep putting them off, they can snowball. E. Change doesn’t happen overnight, so stick to it every day. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. B 5.

Many successful people, like Alexander Graham Bell and the Wright Brothers, had this quality. 1 Instead, it means standing up for your beliefs and setting clear boundaries (界限). To develop emotional toughness, we can follow these steps. One way is to learn who to trust. Emotionally tough people sometimes make mistakes at judging others but they learn from them and avoid repeating them. 2 By taking small actions outside your daily schedules, you can build confidence and prepare for bigger challenges. 3 Emotionally tough people stay healthy by exercising, sleeping well, and eating balanced meals. They stick to their routines even when they don’t feel like it. Building positive relationships is the fourth key step. Emotionally tough people spend time with those who inspire and support them. 4 Finally, focus on your own goals instead of comparing yourself to others. Emotionally tough people set clear goals, celebrate their achievements, and keep moving forward. They don’t waste time worrying about what others think. 5 It’s a skill that can be developed through practice and good habits. By following these steps, we can become stronger and better prepared to face life’s challenges. A. These relationships provide encouragement, especially during difficult times. B. Thirdly, self-discipline (自律) is also important. C. Another way is to try to step out of your comfort zone. D. It doesn’t mean being rude, cold, or ignoring others. E.

Knowing yourself History teaches you about yourself. If you did not know your own past, you would not know which subjects you liked or which sports you enjoyed. You would not know your pride or mistakes you should avoid. 2 History matters to groups as well as individuals. It shapes identity and shared values. Knowing others History teaches about the cultures that were unlike your own. You learn about other peoples, where they lived, and what was important to them. History teaches you cultural differences and helps you understand others’ thoughts and experiences. 3 . You also learn how these struggles have affected the way people view themselves and others. 4 History can provide you with a better understanding of where you live. You are part of a culture that interacts with the outside world. Even events that happen in other parts of the world affect your culture. Today’s events are shaped by the past. Knowing the past helps you figure out what is happening now. 5 . Your own history may have taught you that studying for a test results in better grades. In a similar way, world history has taught a country that providing young people with education makes them more productive when they become adults, and therefore, the country will become more powerful.

You can do better and find out solutions more easily when you share your problems. There are lots of different ways to get and give help. 2 Sometimes you just need advice on things. Help can be very easy, like a homework project, or it can go on for a while, like teaching to bring up a failing grade or advising to solve a difficult personal situation. It’s likely you remember times someone helped you. 3 Friends helped you get through sadness or deal with disappointment.

This can help you manage stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy. 1 Prioritize (优先考虑) your physical health. Taking care of your body is important for overall well-being.

You may have reached a stage where learning slows down or even stops. 1 But it does not mean there is no way out. The following tips can help you break through. Start by setting clear goals. When progress slows, it often means you need a new direction. 2 This allows you to see your progress more clearly and helps you stay active when the learning feels difficult. 3 Sometimes learners cannot see their own weak points. Teachers or experienced friends can offer fresh views and point out areas for improvement. With their help, you can avoid repeating the same mistakes and make progress again. Changing the way you learn is another useful method. Doing the same thing repeatedly may lead to boredom and slow growth. Trying different ways — such as reading new books, practicing for 20 minutes each day, or studying with a friend—can bring back your interest. 4 A positive attitude matters just as much. A learning slowdown does not mean you have failed. 5 Believe in yourself and keep trying. With patience and effort, you can get past this stage and continue to improve. In short, a learning slowdown is not the end of your progress. By using these methods, you can break through the difficulty and continue moving forward. A. Asking others for advice is also helpful. B. This can be a very hard time for anyone. C. Try to learn from other people’s mistakes. D. Instead, it can be a sign that you are about to grow. E. These changes make learning more fun and effective. F. One simple way is to break your big goal into smaller steps. 【答案】1. B 2. F 3. A 4. E 5.
