Online and Face-to-Face Learning
Today, many schools offer online classes. Students can listen to lessons, finish homework and talk with teachers through the Internet. Some people think this new way of learning will take the place of traditional classrooms. .
One clear advantage of online learning is convenience. Students do not always need to go to school at a fixed time. They can study early in the morning, late at night or at weekends. It is helpful for students who have family duties or other activities after school. .
Online learning can also make some students more willing to take part in class activities. But in an online class, they can write down their ideas before sharing them. This may help them feel safer and more confident.
Students can talk with teachers and classmates directly. They can ask questions, see others' expressions and learn how to work with people. These skills are important not only in school but also in future life. Some subjects are also harder to learn online. For example, science classes often need experiments. Drama classes need students to act with others. These classes need real practice and direct help, so online lessons may not give students the same experiences.
Online and face-to-face learning are not enemies. Each has its good points and problems. The best choice depends on what students need to learn and how they learn best.
A.Online learning can save travel time.
B.However, this idea may be too simple.
C.Students should not simply choose one side.
D.This gives students more control over their time.
E.Face-to-face learning offers something different.
F.In a large classroom, shy students may stay silent.

2、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Scientists say they have found signs with the help of AI tools that elephants call each other by "names". "They have this ability to call certain members of their family with a special call," said Mickey Pardo, the professor of the study.
Elephants' loud calls might be their best-known sounds, but lower-pitched rumbles (低鸣声) are more meaningful, as they are used in many social situations. Elephant rumbles can be hard for human ears to tell apart, so the researchers used AI to study different elephant calls. To understand these rumbles, the researchers studied calls made by family groups of elephants in Kenya. Some elephants seemed to answer certain rumbles from other elephants, and the researchers put those sounds into their AI tool. "If the calls have something like a name, you should be able to find out who the call is for," Dr. Pardo said. The scientists found that their AI tool could tell which elephant a rumble was for.
The researchers also did fieldwork (野外考察) and played recordings of rumbles to elephants while filming how they moved. They found that elephants paid more attention when a call was for them than when it was for another elephant, lifting their ears and making their own low sounds in reply. These results clearly showed that elephants could tell whether a call was for them.
Other animals have also been found to call one another by what scientists have called "names." But those "names" are often copies of sounds that other animals make. African elephants, however, may be the first nonhuman animals shown to call one another by names using sounds that are not copied, more like the way humans use names.
Researchers say this finding is important because it shows how strong elephant social relationships are. "Social connection is very important to everything about elephants," one researcher said. Understanding elephant communication could also help people better protect these animals.
(1)、Why did the researchers turn to AI tools?A、To record elephants' loud calls. B、To study hard-to-tell rumbles. C、To find family groups in Kenya. D、To give elephants special names.(2)、What was the finding of the sound tests?A、Elephants stayed in groups. B、Elephants gave more answers. C、Elephants knew calls for them. D、Elephants followed every call.(3)、Why are the "names" of elephants special?A、Because they use copied names. B、Because they show strong feelings. C、Because they are easy to be heard. D、Because they work like human names.(4)、What does the study about elephants show?A、AI can name animals correctly. B、Animal calls might be studied better. C、Elephants need more human help. D、Elephants share close social connections. -
3、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Have you ever tried to change someone's mind during an online argument? You might think that if you provide enough facts and evidence (证据), the other person will finally agree with you. However, science shows that the opposite often happens. When people's ideas are questioned, they may become even more sure that they are right. This makes it difficult to discuss online.
Scientists have found that our brains treat our ideas as something important to protect. When someone challenges ideas we care about, such as our favorite football team or our ideas about healthy food, our brains feel a sense of danger. This means that when you tell someone they are wrong, their brain may enter a "defense mode" at once.
Human beings are social animals who always want to belong to a group. Our opinions often show which group we belong to, and if we say we are wrong, we may feel that we are going against our friends. Most people would rather be "wrong but together" with their team than be "right but alone".
Our brains also accept only the information we like. When we read news online, we usually look for stories that prove we are right and pay no attention to stories that show we may be wrong. Even if someone gives us clear facts, we may still find reasons to call them "not true" or "silly". This thinking habit makes it hard for us to see the whole truth, because we only see what we want to see.
So, how can we talk about different ideas without starting a "war" on the Internet? Experts suggest that we should try to build a "safe space" by showing respect first. If you want someone to listen to your ideas, you must make them feel that you are not their enemy. When people feel safe and respected, their brains will stop being in "defense mode," and only then can they truly start to think about different points of view.
(1)、What often happens when people's ideas are questioned online?A、They accept facts more easily. B、They hold ideas more strongly. C、They agree with others finally. D、They join online groups quickly.(2)、What does the underlined phrase "defense mode" in paragraph 2 mean?A、A wish to win arguments. B、A feeling of self-protection. C、A mood of refusing results. D、A way to question opinions.(3)、Which of the following makes online discussions difficult?A、Group pressure and thinking habits. B、Careful reading and clear facts. C、Proved reasons and the whole truth. D、Different views and safe space.(4)、What could be the best title of the passage?A、Why Do Online Talks Often Fail? B、How Do We Stop Online Arguments? C、How Do We Change Someone's Mind? D、Why Is It Hard to Change Minds Online? -
4、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
For a long time, the apartment building where I lived was quiet. Although we shared the same lift every day, none of us knew each other's names. We only looked at the floor numbers. We were neighbors behind locked doors, but almost strangers. Last winter, a wooden box in the lobby (大厅) changed that.
An old teacher, Mrs. Smith, put the box there with a sign: "Take what you need, leave what you can." On the first day, there were three bottles of honey inside. I thought it was only a small act of kindness and would not last long.
But the "Gift Box" soon became a bridge that connected everyone in the building. The honey disappeared and was replaced by children's books and a bag of apples. I once left an old umbrella there, and two days later, I found a note from Apartment 4B, "Thank you. My son and I used it on the way home from school. We got home dry." For the first time, 4B was not just a number, but a real person.
One Sunday night, a water pipe (水管) in my room broke. Feeling helpless, I ran down and left a message in the box. Minutes later, Mr. Lee from the fifth floor came with his tools. While fixing the pipe, he told me he had lived alone since his children moved away. "I used to think no one here needed me," he said. "We thought we were just exchanging things, but we are actually sharing the stories of our lives," he added.
The box is larger now, and it has taught us that a community is not just made of bricks and stones, but of the love that we share when we help each other. Now, when we meet in the lift, we look at each other and smile.
(1)、Why were the neighbors almost strangers at first?A、Because they only shared the same lift. B、Because they often stayed behind doors. C、Because they hardly ever communicated. D、Because they seldom met in the apartment.(2)、What does the writer mean by saying the box became a bridge?A、It held children's books. B、It kept the building quiet. C、It brought neighbors closer. D、It offered people convenience.(3)、Why does the writer mention the broken water pipe?A、To describe the writer's trouble. B、To show help among the neighbors. C、To explain the message in the box. D、To introduce Mr. Lee's fixing skills.(4)、What did the box finally bring to the neighbors?A、A habit of sharing stories. B、A lesson to build friendship. C、Honesty in the community. D、Love among the neighbors. -

Maybe there are many moving stories around you. Today you can know one of them. This story is just so sweet and sad at the same time. 11-year-old Lu Zikuan had to eat five times a day because he wanted to save his father's life.
His father got badly ill years ago. Doctors told him that the only way to save his father's life was with a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植). Lu was the only person in the family to save his dad.
But there was one big problem— he had only 30 kg. And doctors told the family that the boy had to gain weight to at least 15 kg.
In order to do the transplant safely, Lu ate a lot for five meals a day. This made it hard for him to walk. He was only a primary school student, but in the end, he gained enough weight and saved his father-in September.
"Adding each kilogram means I'm one step closer to helping my dad. I can do it," Lu said. The boy got an award for his filial piety (孝顺) in a contest called Searching for Filial Teens. He set a good example for young people. "I will look after my father well, and I will be more filial to my parents." Lu said.

Some people are afraid to go to a party because they don't know how to make small talk at a party. Why not learn the art of small talk so you can enjoy your next party?
* Look for someone you know.

Read-a good newspaper before going to a party. You can make a clever remark(评述) about any topic. Just make sure you don't say what you think or feel on the topics you know little about.

Practice talking to people everywhere you go. When you' re standing in line at the store, talk to the person in front of you. The more you talk with people in life, the easier it will become to talk to people at the party.

Q: At recess(课间休息),I don't know what to do because all my friends are playing games I don't like or don't want to play. So I end up standing by myself at recess doing nothing. What should I do?
Alex Rider,13, Bloomfield,N. J.
A: Do you believe in time travel, Alex? Because you just dragged me 40 years into the past. When Iwas 13, half my friends threw themselves into kickball at recess—— which was too vigorous(剧烈的) for me right after lunch. So, like you,I stood around a lot. Then, one day, my teacher, Susie, asked me, "What do you want to do?" I had no answer for her. But suddenly, it came to me: marbles! I asked a few friends, and they were happy to join me. Now,I'm not suggesting you play marbles, only that you consider what you feel like doing and can make you happy. And one last idea: There's no harm in trying games your friends are playing that you think you won't like. You might just surprise yourself.
