Here are several opinions about open-book exams from some students and their teacher.May：We students have so many burdens (负担) in our school life. Maybe the examination is the greatest one. Open-book exams can make our burdens lighter， I think. At least it means that we need not learn so many things by heart any more.Hill：Open-book exams do not mean students do not need to recite (背) the textbooks any more. Instead， it shows how much students really understand about the textbook. It may mean we need to spend even more time learning history and politics because the open-book exam means going deeply into the textbooks.Sun：We need a long time to learn for history and politics exams because there are so many things to remember. And sometimes the results are not very good， even if we have spent a long time studying. But if we are able to take textbooks into our exams， we will save time and we wont have so many headaches.Tang (teacher)：Open-book tests are harder for students because the tests make them feel they do not need to understand the textbooks any longer. They only depend on the textbooks and spend most of their time looking for answers during exams. Sometimes they might not even be able to finish their tests because they have wasted too much time looking for answers.36 .

The rich man called out to the old man, “What kind of tree are you planting there, my good man?”“This is a fig(无花果) tree, sir. ” He said. “A fig tree?” the rich man was very surprised, “Why, how old are you, may I ask?”“I am ninety years old.” “What!” cried the rich man, “Youre ninety years old. You are planting a very young tree now and itll take years to give fruit. You certainly dont hope to live long enough to get any fruit from this tree. ” The old man looked around the garden. Then he said with a smile, “Tell me, sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy? ”“Sure,” the man did not know why he asked this question.“ Then tell me this,” he said, “Who planted the fig trees?” “Why-why? I dont know.” “You see, sir.” went on the old man,“ Our forefathers(祖先) planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me.” The rich man was quiet and said, “You are right，my good man.

Luckily, we have air conditioners and fridges.

Many fans had poems or drawings on them.Beginning in the Sui dynasty(朝代), Chinese people started to use porcelain pillows(瓷枕). These pillows felt cool, so people could sleep well on them.People in old times didnt have fridges to make ice. Instead, they collected ice in winter and kept it underground, sometimes in wells(井). When summer came, they got the ice out and put it in their living rooms to cool them down.Rich people and members of the king family had more expensive ways to keep cool. As early as the Han dynasty, some people used a tool(工具) like modern electrical fans. It was made of a wheel(轮子) and some fan blades(叶片). A person would pull a rope to make the wheel spin(转) and then the blades would spin around fast.In the Tang dynasty, people found a way to make their whole house cool. They built their houses next to the water, used some machines to carry water to the top of the house, and made it flow down from the eaves(屋檐).
