6．Once Chinese students in American schools were largely limited to graduate students．Gradually that trend shifted，with more students coming from China to earn bachelor's degrees at American institutions．Now，the population is widening once again，with many Chinese students studying in the U，S．from ever-younger ages．Bill Zhou，a resident of California，though born in Shenzhen，and his wife are currently housing just such a student：Hsu，also from Shenzhen，who is living with Zhou （a paid arrangement） while he attends a private，religious institution．．
Although Zhou is caring，he knows there are many people taking advantage of the trend who lack conscience．In a Lost Angeles Times article，Zhou described his reservations about the current system．"They don't know if the school is good．They don't know if the home stay is good．But everyone else is doing it，so they do it，too，"Zhou said，addressing the parents of so-called parachute（降落伞）children，who earn the nickname by"parachuting"into the U．S．by themselves，unaccompanied by family．
Based on statistics，Zhou has reason to be concerned．A recent article in Sixth Tone'，stated that the number of Chinese students enrolled at U．S．secondary schools increased from just 647 in 2006 to more than 46，000 in 2016．Those numbers are reflected in Chinese society and even popular culture，where a new television drama titled"A Love for Separation"was released several months ago．
"It is a common misunderstanding that studying in a private American high school is easier than in China，a mother told．"My son is under enormous pressure to compete with accomplished peers．He was very lonely during his first year of high school，and found it hard to assimilate into an unfamiliar environment．"
Chinese parents send their teenagers abroad for varieties of reasons．For some students，it is to escape the strict Chinese education system； for others，it is a second chance to recover from bad grades or a low score on China's college entrance exam．For still others，it is simply a lifelong dream．
24．What's Bill Zhou's attitude towards the trend of growing parachute children？C
A．Positive'．B．Indifferent C．Concerned D：Opposed

A．They just follow the crowd．
B．They just show off their large treasure．
C．They want their children to break away from Chinese education system．
D．They want to give their children with poor grades another chance to succeed．．
27．What's the author's purpose in writing the text？D
A．To help these parents to choose a reliable home stay．．
B．To remove these parents doubts about studying abroad．．
C．To encourage these parents to send their kids abroad as early as possible．

2．Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home？People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight．A recent research has found a new recipe of success．According to the study，if the cat is adopted before the dog，and if they are introduced when still young （less than 6 months for cats，a year for dogs），it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly．Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog．
However，it wasn't all sweetness and light．There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes，while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes．One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite．For example，when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression，while a dog doing the same signals submission．
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully，researchers observed a surprising behaviour．They are learning how to talk each other's language．It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk'dog'，and dogs can learn how to talk'Cat'．
What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence．They can learn to read each other's body signals，suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected．Once familiar with each other's presence and body language，cats and dogs can play together，greet each other nose to nose，and enjoy sleeping together in the sofa．They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom（梳理）each other．
The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets--to people who don't get along，including neighbors，colleagues at work，and even world superpowers．If cats and dogs can learn to get along，surely people have a good chance．

The Tutorial System of Oxford University
In the University of Oxford，teaching is conducted primarily through the tutorial system．It is one of the most unique and well-known methods of teaching across the world．
The weekly tutorial consists of a one-hour meeting between the tutor and small numbers of students （usually two to four）．During this time，an essay prepared specifically for that tutorial is read by students and commented upon by the tutor．At the end of the tutorial，the tutor will assign the topic of study for the coming week and suggest readings．（67）B Meanwhile，they are also complemented by departmental lectures which are conducted on a university wide basis，lab work，and seminars （研讨会） often with groups of perhaps 10students．
Tutorials have gained their reputation because of the close relationship they maintain between the tutor and the student．The tutorial system provides undergraduates with direct and in most cases weekly contact with tutors in their academic fields．（68）F
Before the weekly tutorial，students are required to prepare an essay or other works，which they read or present to the tutor．During each tutorial，students are expected to communicate，debate，analyze and critique the ideas of others as well as their own in conversations with the professor and fellow-students．The tutorial system has great value that it creates learning and assessment opportunities which are highly authentic （可靠的） and difficult to fake，as the student's work is discussed on the spot．
（69）A The contrast between tutorials and large lectures common in the American universities is obvious．In the typical American university，students are taught by the same specialists，in the same manner，and held to the same standards．
However，during tutorials，students have the opportunity to explore their own ideas directly with experts in particular subjects．（70）C As a result，students must engage in extensive independent reading and research，using the resources available，under the guidance of the tutor．
| A．The greatest advantage of the tutorial system is the individual attention that students receive． B．Tutorials can be considered the backbone of undergraduate teaching at Oxford． C．Sometimes，the student may leave a tutorial with only a reading list and the title of the next essay． D．Tutorials can greatly enhance the undergraduates'academic performance． E．The greatest advantage of the tutorial system is the various curriculums that students receive． F．In the mean time，tutorials are also beneficial for developing students'skills of critical analysis． |
