AOn a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the New York railway station, playing his violin. The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into the hat of the young man.The next day, the young artist came to the same place, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it under his hat. Then he began to play the violin. It sounded more pleasant than ever.Soon he was surrounded with people who were attracted by the words on that paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim（认领）it soon.”After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said, “Yes, it’s you.I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here.” The young violinist asked calmly, “Are you Mr. George Sang?” The man nodded. The violinist asked, “Did you lose something?” “It’s a lottery ticket（彩票）,” said the man. The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang’s name was seen. “Is it?” he asked. George nodded and took the lottery ticket and kissed it, then danced with the violinist.The violinist was a student at an arts college and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna. Later his classmate asked the violinist, “At that time you needed money to pay the tuition （学费）and you had to play the vi olin in the railway station every day to make money. Why didn’t you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?” The violinist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty I won’t be happy forever.”Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us.21. What did the young artist do at the railway station on Friday?A. He played the violin to make some money.B. He waited for the train to Vienna.C. He came to buy a train ticket to Vienna.D. He walked around the New York railway station.22. Which of the following statements is true according to the words on the paper?A. The hat belonged to George Sang.B. George Sang had lost something important.C. The young a rtist needed George Sang’s advice.D. The young artist wanted some money from George Sang.23. From this article, we can learn that ______.A. we should share something valuable with othersB. playing the violin can make you honestC. it’s accepta ble to keep the lottery if you find oneD. being honest is very important to usBA recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has caused a stir in China and in the UK.The documentary, titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough? focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire.The teachers instruct the students for a month. The pupils are then tested, and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance.The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems, with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy.This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning（死记硬背）instead of independent thinking. For instance, Chinese language teachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching.Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, “The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students’ interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply ‘transplanted’ into another place.”Yang Dongping says, “The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel prize winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair comment on this issue. He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students.”24. Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens?A. To test the intelligence of the UK teens.B. To help the school improve their teaching efficiency.C. To do some practical research into the UK education system.D. To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods.25. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “harsh” in the fourt h paragraph?A. Extremely strictB. Quite friendlyC. Rather coldD. Very attractive26. According to Yang Dongping, Chinese teaching methods ______.A. fit all countriesB. could be improvedC. are the best in the worldD. are not as good as British methodsCWhere can you find a nice place to relax on holiday for both you and your children?
