Passage B

T alk to your teachers

当老师误解你了，你该怎么办？词数 240 建议阅读时间 5分钟

THREE days had passed since the head teacher scolded (批评) her at the sports meeting, but Cao Jinning, 14, still felt unhappy.

The head teacher scolded her for wearing tight (紧身的) clothes instead of the school uniform. He said that Cao thought “too much about being pretty”. But actually the Hangzhou girl wore those clothes to run faster and was going to put on the school uniform after the race.

“I was wronged(委屈),” Cao said. “I felt angry and sad.”

Many students come across similar things with Cao. Sometimes, as teachers don’t fully know the situation, they make judgments (判断) based on their previous (以前的) experience. It easily leads to misunderstandings. Such things are not only bad for the relationship between students and teachers, but also the healthy development of students.

Zhang Xiaoyu, 14, from Anhui thought the best way was to talk to teachers “in private (私下)” after some time. “Refuting (反驳) teachers on the spot is impolite and will make teachers embarrassed or angrier,” she said.

Lü Chunzi, a teacher from Heilongjiang, agreed with Zhang. She said many teachers hurt students’ feelings without meaning for it. “Students are sensitive (敏感的). After all, teachers ca nnot know everything,” she said. “So I hope students can come to teachers to clear up the misunderstandings.”

For those who feel too shy to do that, Cao offered another choice. She wrote a letter to her teacher. “He talked to me later on and now we’re go od,” she said happily.

Choose the best answer:

1. Why was Cao Jinning scolded by the head teacher?

A. Because she didn’t do well in the sports meeting.

B. Because she didn’t think much about the race.

C. Because she didn’t wear her school uniform.

D. Because she cheated in the running race.

2. According to the article, a teacher often misunderstands a student when _____.

A. he/she feels embarrassed or angry

B. he/she doesn’t fully know the situation

C. a student makes some mistakes

D. a student doesn’t respect the teacher

3. Which is the right way for students if they are wronged by teachers?

A. Argue with the teachers in class.

B. Forget the thing and let it be.

C. Make friends with other teachers.

D. Talk or write to the teachers in private.

Passage C Is it possible for fish to feel thirsty? 鱼会觉得口渴吗？

词数 270 建议阅读时间 5分钟

FROM goldfish to sharks, fish of all sizes have lived on the Earth for hundreds of millions of years. But do they ever get thirsty?

The answer is yes, at least some of the fish do. But there is a big difference between fish in seawater and fresh water.

Bony fish have a salt concentration (含盐量) in their bodies. For bony fish in seawater, their concentration is lower than the water they live in. Through osmosis (渗透作用), these fish will lose lots of water into the sea. In order to make up the loss, they drink lots of water, so it would be easy to say they become thirsty. Although drinking salt water is never a good idea for humans, fish can pass the salt they are drinking through their gills (鳃).

But sharks are an exception. Sharks can make their blood as concentrated as the water around them. They do this by building up urea (尿素) in their blood, so they may not be very thirsty. But highly concentrated blood also has a problem. It means sharks won’t do very well in freshwater – water will rush into the shark by osmosis and it might even explode!

Freshwater fish, on the other hand, are unlikely to become thirsty. Because they live in a less salty environment, they have another problem: water goes inwards and dilutes (冲淡) their
