Here are some undiscovered places around the world, which will surely impress you.

Byblos, Lebanon

This quiet settlement north of Beirut in Lebanon has been around a really long lime. Today, its rich history is well-represented in its ruins, which include ancient temples and tombs and Neolithic houses. Three sites in particular steal the show: the restored Roman amphitheatre (圓形劇場）, the grand 12th century Crusader castle, and the beautiful]y restored medieval open market.

Carreg Cennen, Carmarthenshire, Wales

The ruins of Carreg Cennen must be among the most noticeable sites in Wales. Carreg Cennen is defended by two drawbridges and three gate towers, although it hasn’t seen much action since it was partly damaged in 1462, during the Wars of the Roses. However, one rare feature of the castle is unchanged. Ifs the stone passage that leads down to a natural cave underneath.

Providence, Rhode Island, US

Rhode Island is the smallest state in the US. Its capital, Providence, has many of the attractions. Ivy League member Brown University and the famous Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) give the city a strong student influence. Up on College Hill, east of the Providence River, are streets lined with 18th century wood framed houses.

Sequoia National Park, California, US

Not content with having the worlds tallest (coast redwoods) and oldest (bristlecone pines), California is also home to the largest tree—the giant sequoia (紅杉樹). It grows only to its lull size in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Many of these trees are found in the Yosemite National Park, but for more quality time with the trees, it's best to head south to the far less known Sequoia National Park, which gets a quarter of Yosemite’s visitor numbers.

1.What do Byblos and Carreg Cennen have in common?

A. They were once destroyed in the history.

B. They are defended by two drawbridges.

C. They are most famous for their temples.

D. They are located in the same country.

2.If you’re interested in old house made by woods, you’d go to the place in .

A. Lebanon B. California

C. Rhode Island D. Carmarthenshire

3.Who would most probably go to Sequoia National Park?

A. People who love walking in streets.

B. People who are interested in visiting castles.

C. People who want to feel a strong student influence.

D. People who are interested in tress.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Rhode Island is the smallest state in the world.

B. Yosemite National Park is located in California.

C. The Carreg Cennen castle has been totally changed. v

D. The medieval open market in Byblos has never been destroyed.

The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (懷舊的)skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life.

Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.

Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.

In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.

Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(轉(zhuǎn)換) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot(發(fā)現(xiàn)) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.

“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”

1.What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?

A. The absence of blackboard in classroom.

B. The use of new technologies in teaching.

C. The lack of practice in handwriting.

D. The popular use of smartphones.

2.Berninger’s study published in 2009 ___________.

A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.

B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.

C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.

D. discussed the importance of writing speed.

3.Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?

A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words.

B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.

C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.

D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.

4.What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean?

A. Window. B. SoulC. Picture. D. Imagination.

5.What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?

A. Computers can help people with their choice of words.

B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.

C. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.

D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.

As the leaves change color in autumn, students return to school.As a frost covers the ground each night, we are busy planting vegetables in northern Wisconsin.

Five public school districts in northern Wisconsin recently built high tunnels (隧道) for the winter growing season.The schools’ high tunnels, made of metal frame and a plastic covering the raised beds, keep plants warm enough to extend the growing season through the winter and allow an earlier spring planting.Our very short growing season occurs almost entirely during the summer vacation months.This makes the high tunnels necessary in allowing students to gain experience of growing and marketing produce in a cold climate where production at this scale couldn’t otherwise happen during the school year.

During the summer, the high tunnels on school grounds still need to remain there.We developed the Agripreneur program(Agriculture + Entrepreneur) to support students’ work in the high tunnels during months when students are are on holidays.This program was made possible by a farm and a university.Each summer, a pair of students will be hired from every high school to care for and sell a single crop in exchange for instruction from professional lo-cal farmers, growing experience, and a salary.

The Agripreneur program appeared for its first season during the summer of 2015.Students grew tomatoes that were sold to community members, local restaurants and the school cafeterias（食堂）.The program met its goal of increasing the number of local vegetables consumed, both within the region and in school lunches.Sales to school cafeterias will continue through the winter as the high tunnels’ change to nutrient root vegetables, all grown by students.

We may live in winter, but with the recent addition of these school high tunnels, our students are able to eat the freshest local vegetables available—even during the coldest months.

1.What do we know about the school’s high tunnels?

A. They are actually greenhouses.

B. They are actually metal containers.

C. They are entirely used for planting vegetables in summer.

D. They are mainly used as reading rooms for students.

2.High tunnels are being used in the school districts because of ______.

A. students’ interest in planting.

B. the larger need of crops there.

C. the short growing season there.

D. no fresh vegetables available there.

3.The Agripreneur program was created to______.

A. get farmers to produce more crops.

B. check students’ work on the high tunnels.

C. get instructions from professional local farmers.

D. help students do their work in the high tunnels in holidays.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A. Crops Are Planted in Winter

B. Students Are Becoming Scientists

C. Schools Have the Vegetable Market

D. New Growing Season Begins Under High Tunnels
