Bai Yansong, a famous TV host, expressed his support for students wearing green scarves (綠領(lǐng)巾) at a primary school in Xi’an. He wore a green tie on a TV program on October 19, 2011. “I just want the students to know that I’m also wearing green. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves.”
The First Experimental Primary School in Xi’an made children with poor schoolwork and behavior wear green scarves. Parents whose children wore green scarves were angry. “The children still need their self-esteem (自尊心) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right,” said one mother. Now, the school has stopped the practice.
Educational expert Li Zhenxi said that primary and junior high school students have strong self-esteem. They are eager to be respected and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “It’s better to encourage them rather than separating some ‘bad’ students,” he said.
A survey made by the Ministry of Education (教育部) shows that 75 percent of students feel nervous and scared when the teacher is about to announce their grades. Some schools have done better in protecting students’ privacy and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using student names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Some teachers might call the students up to the desk and tell them their scores one at a time.
But test scores are not the only measures of a student’s ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard.
小題1:Bai Yansong wore a green tie in a TV program in order to _______.
A．show people his special dressing style
B．call on people to live a green life
C．tell students green-scarf students are also good students
D．remind students wearing green scarves means being bad
小題2:Why did those parents whose children wore green scarves feel angry?
A．Because their children did do well at school.
B．Because they thought the school didn’t have the right.
C．Because it was against the law.
D．Because it hurts their children’s self-esteem.
小題3:According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?
A．Primary school students are too young to know what self-esteem is.
B．Separating some “bad” students helps create good learning environment.
C．Most “good” students like their teachers to announce their scores.
D．Using secret numbers instead of students’ names can protect their privacy better.
小題4:Which of the following may the writer agree with?
A．The green scarves system can make students work hard.
B．Student’s ability should not be measured only by test scores.
C．Students who get low marks should use secret numbers.
D．Teachers should tell students their scores secretly one by one.
小題5:What does the word “measure” mean in the last paragraph?
A．長度B．尺度
C．方法D．標(biāo)準(zhǔn)

閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)文章后的要求答題。
　It is widely accepted that television is playing an important part in people's lives. But, there is a heated discussion as to whether television does good or harm.
Television keeps one learning more about present events, allows one to follow the most re¬cent developments in politics and science, and offers various programs which are .both instructive and exciting. The most distant countries, the strangest customs and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into one's room or house.
However, some people insist that television is bad rather than good. They argue that it has brought about many serious problems. The major one is its effects on young people. Children are now so used to getting their information and entertainment from television that their ability to read and write as well as physical ability has been greatly weakened. Even worse than that, vulgar( 庸俗的) advertisements and poor programs may develop their bad tastes, shape their view points badly towards human life to such a degree that their minds might be destroyed.
In a word, television has both advantages and disadvantages. Whatever effects it has, one point is certain, television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the use to which it is put that decides its value to society.
小題1:What are people discussing nowadays?
___________________________________
小題2:What are the advantages television has brought us ?(至少2點)

小題3:Why do some people think television is bad rather than good?

Students at Empire High School started class with no text books－but it wasn’t because of money problems.

Instead, the school gave iBooks－laptop computersto each of its 340 students, becoming one of the first US public schools to stop printed textbooks.
School officials believe that the electronic materials will make students enjoy learning more. Empire High Schoolwas designed to have a textbook-free environment.
Students at Empire High School get the materials over the school’s Internet network. The school has a central control system that limits what can be downloaded(下載) at the school.
“Students can hand in homework online. We have a web program that helps to check if you copy from others,” the headmaster Baker said.
In addition to offering up-to-date information, teachers can make the lessons more enjoyable. For example, lessons in history can include links to a person’s daily life, his ideas, his discovery, and so on.
Social studies teacher Jeremy Gypton said the change was easier than expected. Gypton said he assigned reading based on websites, used online groups and message boards to keep the students connected. And he also asked them to comment（評論）on each other’s work.
Julian Tarazon, a new student, said that it was kind of hard at first, because you had to put things in folders(文件夾). But after a couple of days, you got used to it. Another student Morgan Northcutt said the computer system had made it easier to do homework.
The school isn’t completely paperless, however. It has a library, and students can read books in it.

Do teenagers in small villages（村子） do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey（調(diào)查）. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages（村子）. We made a diagram（表格） of the result（結(jié)果） of our survey（調(diào)查）. Let’s have a look at it. We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.
