Did the “double reduction” policy (“双减”政策) change the students’ life? Is it good or bad for their study? Two students will share their ideas with us.
Li Linhua, 13, Beijing
It really helps me. Our homework is less than before. I can finish it at school with no need to take it home. I’m also happy to find there are fewer exams. 1. 我有更多的时间去阅读和运动。
Less homework make us have more after-school activities such as dancing, volleyball and drama (戏剧). 2. I can join many clubs, learning all kinds of useful things in life. Teachers are also giving us more chances to learn from real life. For example, we went to research earthworms (蚯蚓) in a field (田野) during a biology class. I believe this is a much better way to learn than just hitting the books. 3. The most exciting thing is that we can be close to the nature.
Wang Hai, 14, Changsha
With the “double reduction”, I have more free time to enjoy what I like to do! But since I can only take after-school classes on weekdays now, 4. Monday has become a really long and tiring day for me. On Monday, I need to take an online class at home after I come back from school. But at least I can have happy weekends.
There is one problem: We can no longer see the rankings (排名) after each exam. For sure, I do feel less stress without knowing them. But at the same time, 5. 我开始担心在学校的成绩。

24、Let’s suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Trips to the Moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the Moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010’s. There are many scenic spots(风景胜地) on the Moon. And many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the Moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in the form of pills, and the food that goes into the pills comes mainly from green plants.
Because of the rapid increase in population, most of the Earth’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pests(害虫). The harvest is always good. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.
People are now largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don’t eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.

25、A phenomenon known as “kuakuaqun” or “praise group” has taken Chinese social media by storm. The number of topics like this on Weibo has reached more than 23 million. Users can join a chat group on WeChat or QQ, where they are showered with varieties of generous praise and encouragement.
Just imagine the scenes: You get an A in an exam and you want to get some praise. When you post it into a praise group, you are praised for not only your efforts but also being as clever as Albert Einstein. It’s 10 p.m. and you are the only person in the office. You receive a reply, “You are so hardworking! You’ll definitely get a higher position! Praise to you!” Even if you go to a toilet and forget taking some tissue, someone points out that “you’re caring about trees and the environment! Good for you!”
How would you feel?
The appearance of “praise groups” provides an opportunity for ordinary people who cannot get positive feedback easily in their daily life to get comfort from their hears. It also shows the life and social pressure of today’s young people. Moreover, the popularity of these chat groups is a reflection of Chinese culture which values modesty and humility—people often hide their true emotion of seeking and giving praise. As long as people’s praise doesn’t sound obviously untruthful, you’re likely to welcome it. Sometimes, people enjoy praising others as well, just because here they can drop everything and have fun by giving lavish(夸张的) comments. However, some people are also willing to encourage and support others from their hearts.
Some netizens(网民) shared their ideas, “I take it as a way of adjusting the mood. The praise group helps in adding our confidence. Some sincere praises can even be inspiring(鼓舞人心的). However, if you’re really in trouble, it is you who holds the final key.” Clearly, some dishonest praise comes at a cost. Chen Kan, an professor in Fudan University’s psychology department warned that “The biggest risk is to continue to stress on the ‘false self’, which makes it harder to see the ‘true self’. In the end, people in the group will find that such unreasonable praise doesn’t help solve the real problem. Soon the whole group will be silent and dead.”
Perhaps the praise groups are “a flash in the pan”, which might disappear sooner or later. No matter how you think of it, only when you can understand the pressure. criticism and praise correctly, will you face them bravely. Don’t lose yourself in others’ voices—that is what really matters.
【1】The writer mentions the examples in Paragraph 2 to show ________.
A.who wants to join “praise groups”
B.how people can join “praise groups”
C.what people can get from “praise groups”
D.when people need to join “praise groups”
【2】Why do people like to join “praise groups”?
A.To hide real feelings of themselves.
B.To ask for suggestions from others.
C.To express the values of their own.
D.To get comfort and be encouraged.
【3】According to the passage, the writer may agree that ________.
A.we should see ourselves correctly and positively
B.praise group is effective for dealing with troubles
C.we should speak highly of others to please each other
D.praise group is necessary for building self-confidence
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A.“Praise Group”: Is it worth giving it a try?
B.“Praise Group”: Does it help to know yourself?
C.“Praise Group”: Is it important to praise others?
D.“Praise Group”: Does it change your personality?
26、 The view you hold for yourself greatly affects the way you lead your life. It can decide whether you become the person you want to be and whether you achieve the things you value. How does this happen? How can a simple belief have the power to change your psychology (心理) and, as a result, your life?
Believing that your qualities are carved (刻) in stone—the fixed mindset—creates a great need to prove yourself over and over. Some of us are trained in this mindset from an early age. Even as a child, I was focused on being smart, but the fixed mindset was really stamped in by Mrs.Wilson, my sixth-grade teacher. She believed that people’s IQ scores told the whole story of who they were. We were seated around the room in IQ order, and only the highest-IQ students could be trusted to collect homework, or take a note to the principal. She was creating a mindset in which everyone in the class had one important goal—look smart, don’t look stupid.
I’ve seen so many people with this one important goal of proving themselves in the classroom, in their careers, and in their relationships. Every situation calls for a confirmation of their IQ, personality, or character. Every situation is evaluated (评价): Will I succeed or fail? Will I look smart or stupid? Will I feel like a winner or a loser?
But doesn’t our society value 10, personality, and character? Isn’t it normal to want these qualities? Yes, but...
There’s another mindset, the growth mindset, which is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can develop through your efforts. Although people may differ in every which way—in their inborn talents, interests, or characters, everyone can change and grow through efforts and experience. Did you know that Darwin and Tolstoy were considered ordinary children? That the photographer Cindy Sherman, who has been on almost every list of the most important artists of the twentieth century, failed her first photography course? That Geraldine Page, one of our greatest actresses, was advised to give it up for lack of talent?
You can see how the belief that valuable qualities can be developed creates a passion (热情) for learning. Why waste time proving how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide weaknesses instead of overcoming them? And why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will better you? The passion for improving yourself and sticking to it, even when it’s not going well, is the feature (特征) of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to achieve success during some of the most challenging times in their lives.
【1】According to Paragraph 5, the example of Darwin and Tolstoy shows that ________.
A.success has nothing to do with natural gifts
B.it’s difficult to predict one’s future success
C.achievements can be made through hard work
D.the valuable qualities can encourage people to learn
【2】The author strongly believes that we should ________.
A.carry out an honest evaluation of our qualities
B.see success as the only way to prove IQ or talent
C.focus on self-development rather than self-proving
D.believe good things will happen during difficult times
【3】The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A.lead people to take the right mindset
B.advise people to evaluate their mindset
C.get people to know the influence of mindset
D.explain the differences between two mindsets
