But how will Chinese students deal with a very different style of teaching? 33 that encourages debate, discussion and critical thinking? You know how kids constantly ask questions? They have so much to learn and simply 34 information. Asking questions 35 they are curious. So 36 does that natural 37 bee weak? Not at kindergarten, nor at primary school. But perhaps self-consciousness and a reluctance(不情愿)to draw attention to yourself by asking the teacher questions 38 with adolescence. 39 , thats a pity, because asking your teachers questions should be encouraged. After all, theyve been educated, 40 a lot more experience than you and perhaps have a little wisdom. When I taught journalism at college in Scotland, I 41 answering students questions. Some of them asked difficult ones. I didnt always know the answers. If I didnt, Id admit 42 and try to find out later. At university we were encouraged to challenge our peers and tutors.

While several panies are working hard to make it a reality, self-driving cars still face many problems.w Google was one of the first to get into this industry. It has been developing self-driving cars since xx, and its new driverless car is called Firefly. The two-seater car has a cute, round shape. Its front end looks like a friendly face: The “eyes” are headlights, the “nose” is a laser sensor and radar Another group of radars, lasers and cameras sits on top of the roof and gives the cars a 360-degree “view”. They are linked to puter software that can identify people, cars, road signs, and traffic lights, and thus tell the car to make turns and stops. But the driverless car is only a “fair weather friend”, the Daily Mail mented. According to the MIT Technology Review, the current driverless cars cant react like a human driver. They cant drive in heavy rain or snow. Chris Urmson, director of the Google car team, said that this is because the detection technology is not yet good enough to separate certain objects from weather conditions. In the cars “eyes”, raindrops and snowflakes are the same as rocks, and cars stop for them. But if the manhole ahead is uncovered, they drive over it without hesitation. Also, if a police officer waves at the side of the road to ask traffic to stop, the cars cannot understand them. Despite all these problems, Urmson said driverless cars will “happen more quickly than people think” perhaps as soon as in five years time. But even at that time, driverless cars wont be truly “driverless”. In the US, driverless cars are only allowed on roads in certain states if someone sits in the drivers seat. European countries, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, and Russia follow the United Nations Convention (公约) on Road Traffic. The convention used to say: “Every driver shall at all times be able to control his vehicle or to guide his animals.” A change was agreed in May, allowing a car to drive itself as long as a driver is in the car and able to take the wheel at any time.51. Which of the following is TRUE about driverless cars? A. The equipment on top of their roofs helps the cars to get a full view of the area around them. B. They look pletely different from normal cars. C. It is illegal for them to drive on roads according to the United Nations Convention on road traffic. D. The cars software analyzes the information it gets from the radars and then adjusts the radars directions.52. According to the article, the current driverless cars stop when _. A. it is thundering B. there is an uncovered manhole ahead C. the traffic lights are red D. a police officer suggests that they do so53. Whats one of the “problems” facing driverless cars according to the article? A. How to make them run faster. B. How to guide the cars when the GPS fails to work. C. How to power the cars using greener energy. D. How to improve their detection technology.54. What best describes Urmsons attitude toward the development of driverless cars? A. Excited. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Worried. BHowever wealthy we may be, we can never find enough hours in the day to do everything we want. Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost, which simply refers to whether someones time or money could be better spent on something else.Every hour of our time has a value. For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily be doing another, or be sleeping or watching a film. Each of these options has a different opportunity costnamely, what they cost us in missed opportunities.Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a couple of hours to get to and from the stadium. Why not, you might reason, watch the game from home and use the leftover money and time to have dinner with friends? Thisthe alternative use of your cash and timeis the opportunity cost.For economists, every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgoin terms of money and enjoymentin order to take it up. By knowing precisely what you are receiving and what you are missing out on, you ought to be able to make better-informed, more reasonable decisions. Consider that most famous economic rule of all: theres no such thing as a free lunch. Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free, the time you will spend in the restaurant still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities.Some people find the idea of opportunity cost extremely discouraging: imagine spending your entire life calculating whether your time would be better spent elsewhere doing something more profitable or enjoyable. Yet, in a sense its human nature to do precisely thatwe assess the advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time.In the business world, a popular phrase is value for money. People want their cash to go as far as possible. However, another is fast obtaining an advantage: value for time. The biggest restriction on our resources is the number of hours we can devote to something, so we look to maximize the return we get on our investment of time. By reading this passage you are giving over a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities, such as sleeping and eating. In return, however, this passage will help you to think like an economist, closely considering the opportunity cost of each of your decisions.55. According to the passage, the concept of opportunity cost is applied to .A. making more moneyB. taking more opportunitiesC. reducing missed opportunitiesD. weighing the choice of opportunities56. The leftover . time in Paragraph 3 probably refers to the time .A. spared for watching the match at homeB. taken to have dinner with friendsC. spent on the way to and from the matchD. saved from not going to watch the match57.What are forgone opportunities?A. Opportunities you forget in decision-making. B. Opportunities you give up for better ones.C. Opportunities you miss accidentally.D. Opportunities you make up for. C Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly es down to luck. Im not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont e into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life is. However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To bee great at certain things, itll require even more time, time that most people wont put in. This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever bee good at it. When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway. Whatever you do, if you want to bee great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If youre not willing to put in the time and work, dont expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work wont guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will bee really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.58. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _. A. the meaning of success B. the reasons for success C. the standards of success D. the importance of success59. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because _. A. work makes one feel painB. one tends to enjoy his work C. it takes a lot of time to succeed D. one gives up his work easily60. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent. B. Successful people like to show their great skills. C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life. D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.61. What is the main theme of the passage? A. Having a goal is vital to success. B. Being good is different from being great. C. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success. D. One cannot succeed without time and practice. DGiven all the heated debates about how Americas children should be taught, it may e as a surprise to learn that students spend less than 15% of their time in school. While theres no doubt that school is important, a series of recent studies remind us that parents are even more so. A study, for example, finds that parental involvementchecking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at homehas a more powerful influence on students academic performance than anything about the school the students attend. Another study, reports that the effort put forth by parents has a bigger impact on their childrens educational achievement than the effort devoted by either teachers or the students themselves. And a third study concludes that schools would have to increase their spending by more than $1,000 per pupil in order to achieve the same results that are gained with parental involvement . So parents matter a lota point made clear by decades of research showing that a major part of the academic advantage held by children from wealthy families es from the “concerted cultivation（协作培养） of children” as pared to the more laissez-faire style of parenting mon in working-class families. But this research also reveals something else: that parents, of all backgrounds, dont need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give them an edge. They dont need to chauffeur their offspring to enrichment classes or test-prep courses. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk. But not just any talk. Although well-known research by psychologists Betty Hart and Todd Risley has shown that professional parents talk more to their children than less-affluent parentsa lot more, resulting in a 30 million “word gap” by the time
