But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a

After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says “on problem”, for they dont have class until Wednesday.

They only focus on academic performance but neglect students abilities and interests in other areas. Kids lose interest in lear
12、ning.Educators often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. Some intelligent kids cant enter good colleges.“Weak” students are separated from the rest of the school. Their grades go from bad to worse. 1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.DAt a university, there were four sophomores taki
13、ng a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, that each had “A” so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great
14、 time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didnt make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final exam and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to
15、come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didnt have a spare, and couldnt get help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were rel
16、ieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate room, hand each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.They took at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. “Cool,” they thought at the same time, each one in his separate roo

For Britains Prince William, nature played an important role in his education this last winter,
18、 as the future king went on a 10-week expedition in Chile with Raleigh International.The experience was a very different one for the prince. He kayaked in ocean fjords, tracked a rare deer, and was stranded on a beach during a storm.He also got used to sleeping on the groundat times in a room filled
19、 with 16 people and living in simple conditions. Those who took part, called “volunteers”, both contributed and learned. The prince helped locals build wooded walkways and buildings, and taught English to schoolchildren.He was described by other volunteers as hardworking, humble, and laid-back. As o
20、ne said, “He struck a really good balance between working hard and having fungetting on with everyone, and taking on the team spirit.”The prince said he liked being treated as an “equal” by other volunteer, who came from all walks of life. Around 20 percent were from problem backgrounds, some having
21、 had troubles with drugs or crime.It seems that theres a lot more to education than university and books, and the Chilean forests and a little contact with regular people may do a lot of a British prince.Unit3 1.C 2.A3.B 4.C 5.DAfter thirteen years marriage, the woman wants to divorce her husband, c

When asked for the specific grounds for divorce, she gives these reasons: First, he keeps changing jobs, and the family has had to move four times in thirteen years, but she wants stability for her children and herself.

28、 early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquire their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-2
29、0th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the childrens principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States. Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Prior to school, adequate day care of chi
