Here are two letters from our readers expressing their concern about school assessment:
(1)
Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators realize that students have different interests and abilities. However, grade-based assessment is still very common. Grades often hold back creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to go in for music, drama and sports. Grades are also an unfair measure of a student's ability. I do not demand, as some extremists do, that grades should no longer be recorded. However, I do believe that less importance should be placed on grades.
I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.
Magdalena Smith, President,
Drama Club
(2)
Let's face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades get students to work at their highest level of competence. Second, they act as an encouragement for hardworking students and as a warning to those who are not. Finally, grades are an effective standard by which to measure students' achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university. I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired mainly because of their grades. My grades helped me get a part-time job and will help me get into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.
Simon Harper, Member, Science Club.

It's enough to give anyone an earache. Women spend an average of about five years on the phone during their working lives, research has showed. You won't be surprised to learn that women spend 18 months longer than men on the phone- who only chat for an average of three years.
Both sexes make and receive almost the same number of calls- 277,000 for men and 288,000 for women. But women spend 13, 500 more hours in total on their conversations.
More than half of those chats are work-related but people spend on average twice as long on a personal call (10 minutes) as on a business one. Despite the explosion in mobile phone ownership, most people still prefer to use landlines, the poll found. However, when people are tired of talking, the top excuse for getting a caller off the lines to say "Someone's at the door." Other housewives include "I'm cooking." and "I need to go to the toilet." Eight out of ten phone users admitted not answering their phones on purpose if they did not want to speak to the caller. One in three people thought calls after 10 pm were unacceptable but a quarter of those polled said they did not mind calls up to midnight. Two-thirds admitted they had people in their address books who they knew they should ring but never got round to doing so.
Joseph Blass, managing director of telecom company Toucan, said, "As a nation, we love to chat on the phone but it is quite astonishing when we look at the total number of calls we make in a lifetime."
29. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. Women spend about five years talking on the phone during their lifetime.
B. Women make and receive the same number of calls as men do.
C. On average, work-related calls are only half as long as personal calls.
D. Usually a call made by a man is longer than one by a woman.
30. According to the poll, when someone on the phone says "Sorry, someone's at the door." he or she probably means " "
A. I am going to the toilet
B. I want to stop chatting
C. I am too tired to talk any longer
D. I must go to open the door for someone
31. From the text, we know that_________.
A. calls around midnight are acceptable to some people
B. 80% of people always refuse to answer a phone call
C. most people never ring the people in their address books
D. Joseph Blass was one of the people who were polled
32. What Joseph Blass says in the last paragraph shows that________

A school dropout from a poor village, Rammar Pillai, was an Indian hero who turned out to be a fraud. Throughout the summer some of India's top scientists and government officials believed that Pillai had made the most revolutionary discovery of the century. Using a few secret plants he could turn water into petrol .
It all started on a class picnic back in 1978 in the rain forests. "When I lit up a stove, a spark fell on a small plant and the green leaves started to burn ," he told a newspaper. "My first idea was to put out the fire, but later I realized that I had found something amazing."
Pillai dropped out of school and spent the next ten years searching the forest, setting fire to hundreds of different plants until, at last, he found the one from his class picnic. He set up a simple laboratory in his home and over the following years his plant fuel, which sold for 20 rupees a litter, powered all of the village machinery.
Outside of his village, nobody took Pillai seriously. But in July he was given a chance to prove his plant petrol was the real thing at the Department of Science and Technolo in New Delhi, India's capital. After seeing Pillai's experiment, the department head said, "If this is true, we are sitting on a gold mine."
India's fuel expenses add up to 20 per cent of its total imports and Pillai's discovery raised hopes that India could free itself from debt to the oil-producing nations of the Gulf.
But during a second experiment before many of India's top scientists Pillai was discovered to have played a trick. As he carried out his test one of the scientists noticed the spoon he was using was empty in the middle and filled with petrol that Pillai then put into the water.
This is how he created his fuel.
Pillai then stopped the experiment saying the government was trying to steal his secret. He has since returned to his village, where he has become a hero, a magician who changes his magical leaves into petrol before thousands of cheering fans. 33. The underlined words 'a fraud' in paragraph 1 means________
A. a chemist
B. an inventor
C. a dishonest man
D. a clever man
34. According to Pillai himself, what had he been doing in the years following his class picnic?
A. Learning in school.
B. Traveling around India.
C. Testing different plants.
D. Selling home-made medicine.
35. It can be inferred from the passage that ________
A. India owes much to the countries of Gulf for importing oil.
B. The government scientists failed to steal Pillai's secret.
C. Pillai is looked down upon by the villagers.
D. Pillai is regarded as a successful man in India.
36. The best title for this story would be ________
A. School Dropout Turns Out A Hero
B. Fuel Hero Proves To Be A Fraud
C. Plant Fuel Is Under Experiment
D. Rammar Pillai--Another Thomas Edison

You hear the same complaint all the time: "My memory is terrible." Is it all in the mind, or do real changes take place in the brain with the passing of time? The answer is that the brain's cells, the neurons, decline and die with age. However, according to Professor Arthur Shimamura of the University of California, people vary greatly in how they change mentally with age, as well as how much their mental ability declines.
There are three main ways in which mental function changes. The first concerns speed, such as how quickly you can react to fast-moving incidents on the road. Drivers in their late teen react quickly but often drive too fast, while the over-60's are more careful but react more slowly. This type of mental slowing results from a reduction in the efficiency with which the brain's neurons work.
The fact that adults find it harder to learn musical instrument than children points to a second type of mental decline, the loss of learning ability with age. The part of the brain which is known to control new learning is particularly sensitive to the effects of ageing. This means we have to depend more on diaries and other mental aids as we get older, take longer to learn a new language and are slower to master new things at work.
"Working memory" is the third brain function that is sensitive to the effects of ageing. Absent-mindedness occurs at all ages because of imperfections in the working memory system. For example, you may continually lose your glasses, or find yourself walking into a room of your house only to find that you cannot remember what you came for. Such absent-mindedness also occurs more often as we get older. However, evidence also shows that the principle "use it or lose it" applies to the ageing brain. Professor Shimamura studied a group of university professors who were still mentally active, and compared their performance on neuro-psychological tests with that of others of their age group, as well as with younger people. He found that on several tests of memory, the mentally active professors in their 60's and early 70's performed better than those of the same age, and as well as the younger
group.
37. Memory gets worse as people grow older because_______
A. the brain starts to produce too many neurons
B. cells in the brain stop the neurons from working
C. the brain's neurons don"t work as well as before
D. when people get old, they complain too much
38. Which of the following well-known sayings best expresses the idea of the third paragraph?
A. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
B. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
C. Where there's a will, there's a way.
D. It's never too old to learn.
39. We can conclude from Shimamura's test on the professors that_______
A. active minds might keep their memory better
B. memory can improve with the time passing on
C. all of the old people will suffer memory loss
D. the principle "use it or lose it" is obviously wrong
40. This passage is mainly about _______
A. youth and ageing
B. problems of getting old
C. secrets of a good memory
D. ageing and mental ability

(1) Put an ice cube from your fridge into a glass of water. You have a piece of string(线) 10 centimeters long. The problem is to take out that piece of ice with the help of the string. But you must not touch the ice with your fingers. You may ask your friends to try to do that when you are having dinner together. There is a saltcellar on the table. You must use salt when you carry out this experiment. First you put the string across the piece of ice. Then put some salt on the ice. Salt makes ice melt(融化). The ice round the string will begin to melt. But when it melts, it will lose heat. The cold ice cube will make the salt water freeze again. After a minute or two you may raise the piece of string and with it you will raise your piece of ice! This experiment can be very useful to you. If, for example, there is ice near the door of your house, you must use very much salt to melt all the ice. If you don’t put enough salt, the water will freeze again. 1. We must use _______ when we carry out this experiment. A. fridge B. some food C. a table D. some salt 2. How long will it take to carry out this experiment A. More than three minutes. B.
