One morning, Wu Liang discovered (发现) that her classroom changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was too excited about it for the first two days and she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”
Li Yu liked it, too. He said, “Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” It was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide (提供) students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities(能力) to study by themselves and work in groups,” said Zhang Ming, an English teacher.
However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.
“The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,” added Zhang Ming.After the new classroom arrangement , it was easier for Wu Liang and her classmates to ________ in class.

Your body is special﹣no two people in the world are alike． Although you are different from everyone else， you have exactly the same body parts as the people around you， doing different jobs that keep all of us alive．
What is inside my head？
Your head houses the most valuable part of your body﹣your brain． As you are reading， your eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning from what you see． Your brain helps you to remember and think， and make sure your body is doing what it should．
What is my skin for？
Your skin covers your body． In most parts of your body， the skin is just as thick as half a centimeter． If you have your skin cut， it will have a quick cure and stop viruses（病毒）from entering your body． Your skin also helps you feel the heat and coldness of the environment around you． Hair grows from inside the skin． When you feel hot， extra heat comes out through your skin． As a result， your body temperature drops．
How do I move？
Muscles（肌肉）are found in most parts of your body． They work with your bones to help you a lot﹣whenever you cry or smile， eat or speak， walk or dance， etc．
Why do I breathe？
Your body needs to take in oxygen from the air and give out the unwanted carbon dioxide in the body． When you breathe， air comes through your nose and mouth into your lungs where oxygen flows to different parts of your body．
What does my heart do？
Your heart is a very special muscle． It is slightly bigger than your fist（拳头）and grows bigger as you do． If you place your hand on your heart， you will feel your heart beating which forces blood to move around your body．
46． Which part of your body helps you to remember and think？

Zombies（僵尸） are real! You meet them every day on the sidewalk． They walk slowly， with their heads down and they will not look at you． They are living in a different world， a world of the mobile phone!
Many people are complaining（抱怨） about these mobile phone zombies because they walk slowly， making it difficult for other people to use the sidewalk． Chongqing and a few other cities have come up with an idea to try to solve the problem． They've divided up sidewalks into lanes（线路）：one lane for mobile﹣zombies and one lane for everyone else． The experiment hasn't worked out too well， since most mobile﹣zombies don't even notice the lanes．
I have another suggestion for the problem． In Shanghai， we have blind paths． They are made of small raised tiles（凸起的瓷砖）that help blind people follow a straight line． Perhaps the same way could be used for mobile﹣zombies． A lane with a rough surface would allow people to concentrate on their mobile phones and still know they are walking in a straight line． Of course， I have a further suggestion． At the end of the lane would be a large hole where all the mobile﹣zombies would disappear into the center of the earth!
Well， I don't think my suggestion is going to be taken， but I don't think special lanes for mobile﹣zombies will work， either． I think it's just a better idea to remind（提醒） people that sidewalks are shared space and they should think of others when they are using their mobile phones．
（1）According to the passage， who are mobile phone zombies？
A． The people who always look here and there on the road．
B． The people who always play with mobile phones on the road．
C． The people who hate using mobile phones when they are walking on the road．
（2）Why has not the lane for mobile﹣zombies in Chongqing worked out well？
A． Because it is too expensive to walk on the lanes．
B． Because there are so few lanes in Chongqing．
C． Because few mobile﹣zombies notice the lanes in fact．
（3）The underlined word "rough" in Paragraph 3means " " in Chinese．
A． 粗糙的
B． 光滑的
C． 漂亮的
（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A． Shanghai has also built lanes for the mobile﹣zombies．
B． The writer's suggestion for the mobile﹣zombies was taken．
C． Mobile﹣zombies should think of others on the road．
（5）The passage may come from ．
A． a story
B． a newspaper
C． a notice
（Xinhua News）What kind of vehicle will you choose when traveling between provinces？ Many people may like traveling by train because it's safer and cheaper． Now the high﹣speed railways have connected eastern and western China as well as the south and the north．
A new high﹣speed railway opened on Sept． 10th， 2016． It connects Zhengzhou in Henan Province with Xuzhou in Jiangsu Province． With this railway， China's high﹣speed railways are over 20，000kilometers long． It is the world's longest and makes up 60percent of the world's total high﹣speed railway lines．
Besides length， China also does better in speed． China is the only country with trains running at 350kilometers an hour， such as the Beijing﹣Tianjin and Beijing﹣Shanghai high﹣speed railways．
With these surprising numbers， it is easy to forget that China wasn't the first in the high﹣speed rail game． Japan started 50years ago， while Germany did 20years ago． China only began to build its high﹣speed railways 14years ago．
China's high﹣speed railways are developing fast now． Behind it， there is the country's growing need for transportation． According to Xinhua News， China's high﹣speed trains gave 961million trips to people last year．
"The high﹣speed railways not only bridge the distance， but connect people， information and goods．" said Huang Xin， an official from the China Railway Corp．
Yet， China's building of high﹣speed railways is still going on． China plans to have 38，000kilometers of high﹣speed railway by 2025．
36． Why may many people like traveling between provinces by train according to the passage？
37． How long have China's high﹣speed railways been since Sept． 10th， 2016？
38． Which country is the first one to build the highspeed railways？
39． China's building of high﹣speed railways isn't still going on， is it？
40． If you want to go to Beijing for the coming summer holidays， what kind of vehicle will you choose？

Immediately， all the most wonderful things one could imagine started flying out of the box and a voice said， "Why look for it in others？ Goodness always starts in yourself．"

Last year Shen，a boy from Shanxi Province，went to a school with no electricity and only a few books．But this year he's at a new school with big classrooms and lots of books．Project Hope paid for it．
