【题目】 I’m always surprised when I hear how little time kids spend outside. One study found that kids spend almost seven hours a day using electronic media.

A public school in Quechee, Vermont is taking it seriously and fighting against indoor-centric (中心的) childhoods. Eliza Minnucci’s kindergarten class there engages (参与) in Forest Mondays, during which the students spend the whole day in the woods. It’s modeled after the Forest Kindergarten in Switzerland, which is all outside all the time. The idea that’s shared across the school is to let kids learn lessons from the natural world.

So what have the results been? Mostly good.

I taught kids aged 4 through middle school. While I had some basic ideas to teach, it was mostly kids’ natural interest that drove much of what we did.

They wanted to know the names of birds and plants (biology). We created something with wood and stones (physics and teamwork). We even made up stories about ants and butterflies (language, organizing information and creativity). For the older kids, we had much clearer lesson plans, but we were still outside the whole time, and we would often suddenly start talking about a completely new subject if something interesting was happening. So the learning experience was always fresh.

On top of learning and moving around freely instead of sitting at desks, the kids were having fun while they learned, which made them excited for the next lesson. Shouldn’t that be the goal of all education?

Perhaps Vermont’s kindergarten program is an example of breaking away from the test-centric educational method. While some parents are taking their kids out hiking on the weekend or stopping their use of electronic media, teachers are bringing some of that same thinking to their classrooms.

Considering all the good evidence that being outside is great for mind and body ---as well as test scores---it seems like this kind of education is a natural next step for teachers.

1What can we learn about the public school in Quechee?

A.It lies in the woods.

B.It is the first of its kind.

C.It teaches more than other schools.

D.It values outdoor activities very much.

2What does the author mainly try to show through Paragraph 5?

A.Teaching outdoors brings her some thinking.

B.Learning outdoors can make kids learn more.

C.Playing outdoors brings kids many advantages.

D.Teaching outdoors proves to be more difficult.

3What should be the goal of education according to the author?

A.To develop students’ life skills.

B.To encourage kids’ great creativity.

C.To make kids have fun while learning.

D.To teach students to think independently.

4Why does the author write the text?

A.To encourage outdoor education.

B.To suggest spending more time in nature.

C.To give kids tips on spending time outside.

D.To ask kids to take part in after-class activities.

【题目】 Superb Performance From Affordable Digital Hearing Aid

Chicago Dr. Cherukuri has invented a medical-grade, ALL-DIGITALaffordable hearing aid.

He knew that untreated hearing loss could lead to depression, social isolation, anxiety, and symptoms consistent with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. In his practice he knew that many of his patients would benefit from new digital hearing aids but many couldn’t afford the expense, which is not generally covered by Medicare and most private health insurance policies.

Same Technology as $ 3,500 Hearing Aids

He evaluated all the high-priced digital hearing aids on the market and then created his own affordable version-called MD Hearing Aid AIR for its virtually invisible, light weight appearance. This doctor-designed digital hearing aid delivers clear sound all day long and the soft flexible ear domes are so comfortable that you won’t realize you are wearing them.

This new digital hearing aid is packed with the features of its $3,500 competitors at a small part of the cost. Now most people with hearing loss are able to enjoy crystal clear, natural sound-in a crowd, on the phone, in the wind --without “whistling” and annoying background noise.
