One morning, Wu Li discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows(排), 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—Baita Secondary School. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide 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 Yong, the principal of the school.
However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only about 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 Mr Zhang.After the new classroom arrangement it was easier for Wu Li and her classmates to ______ in class.
| A．discuss with each other | B．sit in the classroom |
| C．push desks together | D．teach a lesson |
The school made the reform to provide students with _______ to study.
| A．noisier classes | B．easier ways | C．more seats | D．fewer chances |

The teachers __________ after the reform.
| A．have to find better ways to teach |
| B．find it easier to teach |
| C．spend 45 minutes explaining to the students |
| D．are happy to explain for only 15 minutes |
The best title of this passage may be “________”.
| A．Students’ Friendship | B．Teachers’ Hope |
| C．Discussion in Class | D．New Look in Class |

Recently，a very simple question became widely spread online：what China should be proud of？（61）
Lanlan，whose real name is Negar Kordi，is from Canada．She came to China five years ago and is a student at Ningbo University．Now she has 120，000fans on the Internet and the number is still growing．
Lanlan loves China and Chinese．（62） And that's why she is so well received among Chinese net friends．The following is china in her eyes．
"It is the easiest country in which to find a job．If you are not too lazy，it is really very simple to find a job in China．I believe there're more job chances here than in any other country in the wold．"
"（63） About 400million Chinese are studying English．If they can speak good English in the future，China will have the greatest number of English speakers of any non﹣English speaking country．"
"The speed of Chinese trains is fast．From Ningbo to Beijing，the train runs 1，365kilometers for seven hours and the ticket fare is only 595yuan．"
"Its public security is great．（64） I have travelled in many countries，and I think China really is very safe．"
"There are much more things China should be proud of．Many Chinese people often criticize（批评）China．At first，I believed that they didn't like china or that they loved western countries．But later，I realized that they just set a very high standard for China．（65） China must be much better than other countries．"

Let children learn to judge（判断） their own work．A child doesn't learn to talk by being corrected all the time．If he is corrected too much，he will stop talking．He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use．Little by little，he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's．
In the same way，children learn to do all the other things without being taught﹣to walk，run，climb or ride a bicycle．They compare their performances with those of more skilled people，and slowly make the changes．But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself．We do it all for him．We thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him，to correct it unless he has made to．Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher．Let him work out with the help of other children if he wants it．
If it is a matter in math or science，give him the answer book．Let him correct his own papers． Why should we teachers waste time on such daily work ？Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he can't find the way to get the right answer．Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn，how to measure（估量） their own understanding，how to know what they know or do not know．
Let them get on with this job in their ways．School teachers can offer help if they ask for it．Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world．Don't worry! If it is important，they will go out into the world and learn it．
