What do you think of future school life Here are four students’ dreams about school life.
The class starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 11 a.m. There are only four lessons a day and we have to go to school three days a week. My dream school doesn't give us any homework to do. The teachers teach us by playing with us. We need to get out of the classroom or do some experiments (实验) in the lab (实验室) to find answers by ourselves. [Nick]
In the future middle school, there is a cinema. You might be very surprised about this. In my opinion, watching pop movies is good for us. We can know new things from movies. Besides, it can improve our taste and show us information about fashion. [Connie]
My dream school is green and quiet. More trees and flowers should be planted and 80% of the school should be covered with green plants. We can play games, read books on the grassland. What is the best, I can paint pictures about the natural beauty. How amazing it is! When I feel tired, I can lie down and have a rest on the grassland. [Harry]
In the future, paper books may be out of use. New educational programmes rise, for example, those on the radio, on TV or on the Internet. Children who live in faraway villages don't have to go to school when the weather is bad. They can study at home. They can lie on their bed or eat food while they are listening to the lessons. [Andy]

A long time ago, there lived a very old man. He was so old that he could not see or hear very well. He also could not walk very well, or eat very well for his hand shook. The old man's son and daughter-in-law thought he might make trouble at table. So, they had him eat his meals in the corner of the kitchen without a table.
They gave him very little to eat. The old man would have a sad look on his face as he looked at his son and daughter-in-law's dinner table. One day the old man's hand shook so terribly that he dropped his dish on the floor. The daughter-in-law became angry and shouted at the old man. And after that, his meals were served in a broken dish.
Not long afterwards, the family was sitting having their dinner while the four-year-old grandson was sitting on the floor carefully checking pieces of wood. The father asked, "What are you doing " "I am making a small bowl."
"Why are you making it " The son answered. "So that I can fill it with your and mother's food when I grow up."
The old man's son and daughter-in-law looked at one another and without saying a word started crying. The two quickly brought their old father to their dinner table. From that day on, the old man sat with the family when they had their meals. Even when the old man's food fell here and there, the son and the daughter-in-law did not say anything.

What subject do you worry about the most at school Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful (有压力).
That's right---sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.
Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math text while sitting in a slumped-over(趴倒的) position, or sitting up straight. Atter the test, 56% of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.
Slumping over is a defensive posture (防御姿势). It can cause negative (消极的) memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Peper said.
Students who were good at math did not necessarily benefit (有益于) from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.
Good posture isn't just helpful for taking math exams. Players, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel worried, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive (积极的) and do better.
8. What posture (姿势) can make people feel less stressed during math exams
A. Lying on your back. B. Putting your head on your desk. C. Siting up straight. D. Raising one band.
9. What did the 125 college students do while they were taking the exam
A. Doing sit-ups. B. Sitting in different positions. C. Thinking carefully. D. Counting numbers.
10. What can we learn from the fifth paragraph
A. Slumping over is more difficult for many students.
B. Everyone should benefit from better posture in math exams.
C. Good students should slump over when they have math exams.
D. Different postures mean different results of the same math exam.
11. What's the best title of the passage
A. Sit up to do math B. Slump over C. Nervous students D. Feel more positive
