23、ng to six years on Feb 17. They will be sent back to China 46serving their sentences, reported The Los Angeles Times.The bullying (欺凌) case has caused quite a discussion in China where school bullying is not 47_ but is seldom considered a crime. According to a survey done by China Youth Daily in Jul

24、y last year, 73.3 percent of the 1,002 48 said they had experienced or seen bullying cases at school.However, 49 offenders (冒犯者) receive proper punishment. In most of the cases, offenders only get criticism from schools. Offenders under 14 have no criminal 50. Those aged between 14 and 16 usually ge

The way to a

33、chieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set

34、 up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give

35、 me a fish and I eat for a day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.”If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agric

36、ulture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even a small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for coun

37、tries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary c

38、ome back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in

39、these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really

40、effective would be the sharing of knowledge.61.According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?来A. By solving the cost problems.B. By solving the transportation problems.C. By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.D. By relying on the direct distribution

41、 of the UNO.62. What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence?A. Providing food is vital.B. Learning to fish is helpful.C. Teaching skills is vital.D. Looking after others is important.63. The second paragraph is developed mainly.A. by exampleB. by processC. by comparisonD. by contr

42、ast64. Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?A. A medical team.B. An exchange program.C. A water plant.D. Financial support.65. What can we infer about international aid from the passage?A. It is facing difficulties.B. It is unnecessary during normal times.C. It should be given in the for

43、m of materials.D. It has gained support from developed countries.BCall it the learning paradox: the more you struggle and even fail while youre trying to learn new information, the better youre likely to recall and apply that information later.The learning paradox is at the heart of “productive fail

44、ure,” a phenomenon identified by researcher Manu Kapur points out that while the model adopted by many teachers when introducing students to new knowledge providing lots of structure and guidance early on, until the students show that they can do it on their own makes intuitive sense, it may not be

45、the best way to promote learning. Rather, its better to let the learners wrestle with the material on their own for a while, refraining from giving them any assistance at the start. In a paper published recently, Kapur applied the principle of productive failure to mathematical problem solving in th

46、ree schools.With one group of students, the teacher provided strong “scaffolding”-instructional support and feedback. With the teachers help, these pupils were able to find the answers to their set of problems. Meanwhile, a second group was directed to solve the same problems by cooperating with one

47、 another, without any prompts from their instructor. These students werent able to complete the problems correctly. But in the course of trying to do so, they generated a lot of ideas about the nature of the problems and about what potential solutions would look like. And when the two groups were te

48、sted on what theyd learned the second group “significantly outperformed” the first.The apparent struggles of the floundering (挣扎的) group have what Kapur calls a “hidden efficacy”: they lead people to understand the deep structure of problems, not simply their correct solutions. When these students e

49、ncounter a new problem of the same type on a test, theyre able to transfer the knowledge theyve gathered more effectively than those who were the passive recipients of someone elses expertise. In the real world, problems rarely come neatly packaged, so being able to discern their deep structure is k

50、ey. But, Kapur notes, none of us like to fail, no matter how often Silicon Valley entrepreneurs praise the beneficial effects of an idea that fails or a start-up company that crashes and burns. So we need to “design for productive failure” by building it into the learning process, Kapur has identifi

51、ed three conditions that promote this kind of beneficial struggle. First, choose problems to work on that “challenge but do not frustrate.” Second, provide learners with opportunities to explain and elaborate on what theyre doing. Third, give learners the chance to compare and contrast good and bad

52、solutions to the problems. And to those students who protest this tough-love teaching style: youll thank me later.66. Why does the author call the learning process a paradox?A. Pains do not necessarily lead to gains. B. What is learned is rarely applicable in life.C. Failure more often than not feed

53、s success. D. The more is taught, the less is learned.67. What does Kapur disapprove of in teaching?A. Asking students to find and solve problems on their own.B. Developing students ability to apply what they learn.C. Giving students detailed guidance and instruction.D. Allowing students a free hand

54、 in problem solving.68. What do people tend to think of providing strong scaffolding in teaching?A. It will make teaching easier.B. It is a sensible way of teaching.C. It can motivate(激发) average students.D. It will build up students confidence.69. What kind of problem should be given to students to

55、 solve according to Kapur?A. It should be able to encourage cooperative learning.B. It should be easy enough so as not to frustrate students.C. It should be solvable by average students with ease.D. It should be difficult enough but still within their reach.70. What can be expected of this tough-lov

56、e teaching style?A. Students will be grateful in the long term.B. Teachers will meet with a lot of resistance.C. Parents will think it too harsh on their kids.D. It may not be able to yield the desired results.CIts amazing how we grow from careless kids to responsible teens. What happens in the cour

57、se that makes us responsible now? Its the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes a huge tree. As I sit here, silently thinking about my growth, I wonder over some questions which dont have an answer but its because of such unanswerable situations that life has become a roller coas

58、ter ride.As a kid, I used to read a lot of story books. In one particular book, I read a story of a bird. From then on, that has become an integral (必不可少的) part of my life. It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it and nourishes the ba

59、by. When the bird learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me wonder. How could they so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort?One night, when I was deep in sleep, I got this p

60、articular dream. I was walking miles on the endless road, totally isolated but lined with beautiful trees on the either side. Fascinated by the greenery, I marched towards it only to end up deeper and deeper into the greenery. I happened to stop upon seeing something. It was a massive, wonderful hou

61、se. I fell in love with that amazing part of art. Yeah, it was indeed a piece of art with every nook and corner touched artistically and lovingly. I dont know why I felt that it was done lovingly. Maybe because, things turn out to be beautiful only when we put our love into it just like the food pre

62、pared by mom which tastes more delicious with her love.I explored the house only to fall more in love with it. There was a sloping roof which matched with the greenery around; the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now

63、when it is completely deserted. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house of course, it was all dried up now. Its really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which otherwise just become structures. Such liveliness and happening turns the house into a

64、home. They say THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS, but now I began to feel it. This is where my heart belongs. This is what Im destined to do.When I woke up from the dream, I was clear about everything. I realized where that mile of walk was intending me to lead. I realized what message my dream wanted

65、to convey me. And years later, when finally my turn of choosing my destination came, I simply closed my eyes, held that book in my hand, pressed it against my chest and relived the dream. When I opened my eyes, I was sure what to do. I decided to choose the road less traveled. Yes, I took up archite

66、cture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do. I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did, to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it. This is my dream come true and the happiness that I gain now from this profession is indescribable
