1、阅读下面的短文, 将划线部分译成英文或中文。
Some students, parents and teachers in Shanghai were surveyed last month. According to the survey, the generation gap (代沟) between students and parents as well as teachers is becoming wider. Here is what they said.
Voice of the students:
“Our parents hold too high expectations which put us under lots of pressure. They care too much about our lives and studies,” one student said.
“It’s impolite that some students’ parents read their children’s diaries without permission!” one student said angrily.
“Some of our teachers are so serious that we can’t make friends with them at all,” another student said sadly.
Voice of the parents:
One mother said, “After school, my daughter usually locks herself into her room and spends lots of time talking with others on the phone. 并且我无法忍受她的衣服和发型!”
“I thought my son was doing very well in his studies. I didn’t realize I was being cheated by him until I got a call from his teacher,” said a father.
Voice of the teachers:
An English teacher said, “Today, the role of the teacher is to put knowledge into students’ brains. The power of teachers has kept students away from them.”
“Some parents pay too much attention to their children’s grades instead of creating a lively and colorful environment at home, “ another teacher said.
“In the past, teachers and students often played games together or talked with each other. 如今, 只有学习和分数被谈论”, said a teacher. “A school should be a place where students can learn not only knowledge, but also how to face failure and frustration bravely enough”

Overcoming shyness is mainly a case of mind over matter. If you’re afraid to do it, you will get much shyer when doing it. The more you came to talk with people, the easier it will become. You may also find that it’s not as difficult as you thought anyway. Just talk to people a little more every day.

26、Teachers find it difficult for students to collect the homework before class, sometimes they may even get mad. To solve this problem, a 13-year-old middle school student Zhang from Shenzhen invented a smart robot and he got the first prize in the 20th Guangdong Provincial Children’s Invention Awards (奖项). His parents are so proud of him.
This efficient robot can collect homework in a short time without making any mistakes. It uses radio frequency identification (RFID,射频识别) technology—a reader and a special tag (标签) that can share information without touching each other. This way, it can help find and know what it is looking for. Each student’s notebook has a special RFID tag with their name and the subject. Students only need to place their notebooks on the robot, and the machine “sees” the notebook, reads its tag and takes it out of the name list. Teachers can check who hasn’t turned in homework by connecting their phones with the robot through Wi-Fi.
Many teachers speak highly of the robot after using it and they think Zhang will create more useful AI tools to make life easier. His parents will continue to support him. Inspired by the words, Zhang dreams of becoming a scientist when he grows up. “I have tried making model airplanes and other scientific and creative projects. Inventing has brought me joy and happiness,” he said.

27、I was always tall for my age. When I started Grade 7, I was taller than all the other students in the school and most of the teachers.
You may think it is cool to be tall, but I was never very athletic. Other kids could do things in sports that I just couldn’t do, like hitting or throwing a baseball. I was the world’s worst thrower.
In Grade 8, we got a new teacher. He took a look at me and said, “Darlene, this school needs a basketball team, and you are going to be the star!” I laughed. And my friends laughed harder.
“Darlene doesn’t even know what a basketball is!” joked one of my friends. The new teacher said, “Don’t worry. I’ll show you what she can do.”
Every day after school, I worked with the new teacher. He told me that my job would be to play center (中锋). I practiced hard. Most of all, I practiced shooting (投篮). When I first started, I got zero of ten shot (投篮) I took. But after a few weeks, I had about five of ten shots landing in the basket. I still wasn’t very good. But I was so tall that if someone took a shot I was usually the first one to reach the ball after it came down.
The season came and went. We didn’t do very well, but I learned something about myself, I’m in Grade 9 now and not good enough yet to make it to the high school team. But I think I will be next year. It’s exciting to discover something about yourself and to know that you are what you make of yourself.

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词,每格一词,首字母已给)
When Words Get Stuck
Does this happen to you? You are in the middle of a conversation. Suddenly, you get stuck on a word. It’s r【1】 there … if you could just remember. You move on. Hours later, the word comes to you. However, you no longer need it— that conversation is over.
What happened? You have just experienced a tip-of-the-tongue moment. Well, you don’t need to feel n【2】 about it. Such moments are just part of the way we communicate.
Lise Abrams is a psychology(心理学)professor at the University of Florida. He has studied tip-of-the-tongue moments for more than 20 years. According to his r【3】, anyone, in any culture, any language and any age group, experiences tip-of-the-tongue moments.
We are more likely to get stuck on words we s【4】 use. It’s because we’re not so familiar with these words. Besides, proper nouns(专有名词)lead to tip-of-the-tongue moments more often. The reason might be that a proper noun may m【5】 different people or things that just have the same name.
Here is an example. Think of the name of the hero in the last novel you read. Now think of a tool with many buttons you use to do calculations. Which word comes to your mind first?
“Calculator!” you will say. That’s because all calculators s【6】 those same features(特点). As a result, you have more “clues” when you try to remember the word. On the other hand, dozens — if not hundreds — of novels have a Tom. They are all very different from each other.
Can we do something to a【7】 tip-of-the-tongue moments? Well, according to Abrams, one way is to use certain words or names more often. Say, if you can never seem to remember the name of that singer your classmates often talk about, try saying his or her name out loud whenever you can. It could save you from embarrassment someday.
