They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do it properly.4. Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5. Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively byoneself.7. He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA.8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand in the characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9.

Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge, and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11. This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12. The author makes the suggestion that we should strikea better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills.Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1) The text begins with an anecdote.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a question.2.

While there may be quarrels, you love each other and care for each other. For instance, although there is generation gap between parents and children, given that they consider things from the viewpoints of each other, obstacles can be overcome and the gap be bridged.Harmony could be seen in the respectful relations in the workplace/dorm room. In spite of occasional disagreements, you respect each other and still get along with each other. People from different family/education backgrounds tend to hold different attitudes to a certain issue. If they show their tolerance, problems can be solved.Moreover, harmony also exists in the mutual respect between teachers and students. On the one hand, a teacher adheres to a certain syllabus and teaching procedures, while at the same time, he/she also takes the learner’s needs into consideration and makes adjustments when necessary. On the other hand, the students should follow teachers’instructions and provide feedbacks and suggestions to them.In brief, when we live in harmony with each other, we live a happy life.•CET-Oriented StudyListening1、B2、D3、C4、B5、D6、AReading Comprehension1-5: ECGIA6-10: DGFHBParagraph Translation（翻译参考）Couplets of the Spring Festival are couplets hung on the columns of a hall in the Spring Festival’s Eve.

He spent his life traveling from country to country, lobbying the rulers from one feudal court to another, debating among the politicians, in the hope of finding some rulers who would follow his teachings. His philosophical thoughts were established in the process of his political activities and were compiled in a book bearing his name. The theory of benevolent governance is based on Mencius' belief that human beings are good by nature.

In the middle hall was the platform where teachers gave lectures. On both sides were then classrooms and dormitories, including a Temple of Confucius on the right.

Almost every village in Southern China is surrounded by bamboo groves. The drooping bamboo leaves cross one another, as if they are composing the Chinese character "An" (tranquility). In the order of the Four Gentlemen (the seasons of the year), the bamboo represents the spirit of summer. But since the bamboo lasts through all seasons, it is frequently associated with pine and plum as the "Three Winter Friends”. The bamboo is considered a gentleman with perfect virtues. It combines integrity with accommodating flexibility; it has the perfect balance of grace and strength, or the Yin and the Yang. When the storm comes, the bamboo bends with the wind. When the storm ceases, it resumes its upright position.

Class work can be scheduled around work and family. Self-paced learning modules allow students to work at their own pace. Moreover, E-learning can accommodate different learning styles and facilitate learning through a variety of activities.Reason 3: E-learning, through developing knowledge of the Internet and computer skills, will help learners throughout their lives and careers.Conclusion: E-learning can be a good choice to supplement the traditional classroom and can also be a major form of adult education and lifelong education.•CET-Oriented StudyListening1-5: CCAACBanked Cloze（1）E. multiple（2）J. combing（3）G. fingertips（4）A. reliant（5）L. capitalize（6）N. previously（7）M. stuck（8）I. neglected（9）H. strength（10）K. respondsParagraph Translation（翻译参考）China intended to issue a digital currency as soon as possible, the central bank said Wednesday, a move that could help the yuan offset the global dominance of the US dollar and limit capital outflows.

Translate the passageThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language.

Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。

Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people，linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from acommon source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language : American English.Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.★ Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself ofUnit 8VocabularyI. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart7) are complaining/complain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreign guests2) the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office3) wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowded unnoticed.4) looked deserted 5) were stricken by it3. 1) patches, came into full bloom, were puzzled, mysterious2) throbbed with, sickened, migrant, a chorus 3) had crept into.

While there may be quarrels, you love each other and care for each other. For instance, although there is generation gap between parents and children, given that they consider things from the viewpoints of each other, obstacles can be overcome and the gap be bridged.Harmony could be seen in the respectful relations in the workplace/dorm room. In spite of occasional disagreements, you respect each other and still get along with each other. People from different family/education backgrounds tend to hold different attitudes to a certain issue. If they show their tolerance, problems can be solved.Moreover, harmony also exists in the mutual respect between teachers and students. On the one hand, a teacher adheres to a certain syllabus and teaching procedures, while at the same time, he/she also takes the learner’s needs into consideration and makes adjustments when necessary. On the other hand, the students should follow teachers’instructions and provide feedbacks and suggestions to them.In brief, when we live in harmony with each other, we live a happy life.•CET-Oriented StudyListening1、B2、D3、C4、B5、D6、AReading Comprehension1-5: ECGIA6-10: DGFHBParagraph Translation（翻译参考）Couplets of the Spring Festival are couplets hung on the columns of a hall in the Spring Festival’s Eve.
