1、 Have you ever thought of such question like? Why do I have to study math?" or "I am not interested in history at all. My dream is to be an engineer. Should I give history up?"
Maybe you are right. After you leave school, it's not necessary for you to understand everything. 1.But school learning is more than just getting knowledge.
2.首先,努力找到你对什么感兴趣。 At school, you study many subjects. You need to know what you like and what you don't like. This may be helpful to you in the future.
Second, maybe you don't like math and you want to drop it. 3.但是来自数学的能力能帮助你在将来解决许多问题。 So you should practice your brain by thinking more.
Third, you should believe in yourself. Maybe you learn English at school, but you don't need to speak English at all. 4.But learning English can show that you have the ability of learning languages. Suppose you go abroad one day and want to find a job there, how can you make it if you're not confident in expressing yourself in language learning?
Try to challenge yourself as much as possible. 5.你越多地挑战自我,你将会越好。

Thomas Edison Thomas Edison was kicked out of school in his first year. The teacher said he was too silly to learn. His mother taught him to read at home, and Edison read every book in the library.

He never finished school, but he invented thousands of things, such as electric lights and movie cameras. |
Frank Epperson Did you ever run off and forget your drink? That’s what happened to 11-year-old Frank Epperson in 1905. He mixed drink with a stick(棍子), and left the cup and stick outside his house all night. And it got cold. The next morning, Frank found a cold sweet drink-with a handy stick to hold it. He thought that was pretty cool. So he made more. Soon, everyone was enjoying his ice pops. At first Frank called them Epsicles, but later they got a different name——Popsicles. |

25、 In Singapore, primary and high school students take outdoor-skills courses as part of their studies. They are usually three to five days long and include rope and rock climbing, going to sea in a small boat, sleeping in a tent at night, taking long walks in the forest, and learning to make a fire. It's real life. One careless mistake could make someone get really hurt. Are those outdoor skills really important?
Minister of Education Ng Chee Meng says that the outdoor courses help students develop skills like critical thinking (批判性思维), teamwork, and good communication — abilities that are necessary for work and life. He believes that these skills are as important as traditional subjects. Students need to learn from books, but for some lessons, reading isn't as useful as doing.
What do the students think? Angelique, a student from Singapore, went for a boat trip in the sea.“It helped me to grow stronger,” she says. She felt nervous because it was stormy that day. There were moments when she felt afraid and hopeless. But she remembered that“smooth seas never made a skilled sailor (水手)” and felt brave enough to continue against the storm.“I am thankful for this amazing chance,” she says.
Right now, students attend the courses with groups from their own school. After 2020, however, all students will do the course in groups from several different schools. One student said it this way, “Nothing's impossible.”And that's a great lesson to learn.
【1】In Singapore , the students usually spend________ on outdoor-skills courses.
A.3 days B.5 days C.8 days D.3,4 or five days
【2】According to the first paragraph, what may make someone get really hurt?
A.taking long walks in the forest B.going to sea in a small boat
C.one careless mistake D.sleeping in a tent at night
【3】Minister of Education Ng Chee Meng thinks that________are as important as traditional subjects.
A.skills like critical thinking B.teamwork C.good communication D.above of all
【4】What did Angelique think of her boat trip in the sea?
A.It was terrible. B.It was hopeless C.It was amazing. D.It was boring.

27、When I was nine years old, I wrote my first poem. My mother read the little poem and cried. “Buddy, it’s a beautiful, beautiful poem!” My mother poured out her praise.
“What time will Father be home?” I asked. I could hardly wait to show him my poem. My father had begun his movie career as a writer. He would be able to appreciate(欣赏)my poem even more than my mother. I confidently put the poem right on my father’s plate on the dining table.
My mother said he would be home around 7. But My father got home an hour later than expected. He sat down at the table and noticed his plate. “What is this?” I heard him say.
“Ben, Buddy has written his first poem. And it’s beautiful, so amazing!” Mother said.
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to decide that for myself,” Father said.
I kept my face lowered to my plate. It was only 10 lines long. But it seemed to take hours. “I think it’s bad,” my father said. I couldn’t look up. My eyes were getting wet.
“Ben, sometimes I don’t understand you,” my mother was saying. “This is just a little boy. He needs encouragement.”
“I don’t know why,”______________“Isn’t there enough bad poetry(诗歌) in the world already? No law says Buddy has to become a poet.”
I ran from the dining room, threw myself on the bed and cried.
A few months later, I read that first poem. It was a bad poem. I worked up the courage to show him a short story. My father thought it was not good but hopeful. I was learning to rewrite.
As I worked my way into other books and plays and films, I realized how lucky I was to have a mother who said, “Buddy, it’s wonderful!” and a father who shook his head “I think it’s bad.” Both are love that forces me to improve. In fact, all of us in life need both loving force.
