One morning Fan Xing discovered that her classroom had changed.The 13-year-old saw that the desks were no longer in rows(排),but pushed together to make six bigger desks.
The new arrangement(排列) was part of a reform(改革) at Fan's school,Changsha Daotian Middle School in Hunan.About five weeks ago,more than 2,000 junior students at the school began studying in this way,with six to eight students sitting in groups.
"This reform is designed to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances for discussion,"said Liu Xu,a school head teacher."Our school hopes it can improve students' abilities(能力) for self-study as well as teamwork."
The new arrangement took some time for students to get used to."I was too curious(好奇) about it for the first two days,"said Fan.But soon she and her classmates got used to it."Now our class is quieter because we can stop loud students with some simple gestures(手势),"said Fan."What's more,we can express our own ideas and learn others' through discussion.It's a better way to study."
Feng Yu likes this new classroom arrangement very much and has made some progress studying.The 14-year-old said,"Group members first discuss,and then explain the solutions or answers to difficult questions in front of the whole class."
"The discussion gives us more confidence to make speeches,"said Feng."We can also improve our friendships."
The reform has asked for more from teachers.They have no more than 15 minutes to teach in class."It is a big challenge to teach in such short time the lessons which should be taught in 45 minutes,"English teacher Wang Jing said."We have to improve methods to teach better.We must prepare some interesting topics and exercises before class so that students can discuss them."
Wang said that some students always talk.The teachers have to move continuously in the classroom to keep them quiet and get them to concentrate on class."It demands more,but I believe it will pay off,"Wang added.

This year marks the fortieth anniversary of China's“ reform and opening up”" policy (“改革开放”政策).
Forty years ago, China was a very poor country where almost three quarters of the population lived in poverty(贫困). So far, China has become the world's second largest economy, next to the United States, and over 800 million people have been lifted out of poverty
What else has changed in the past forty years? Well, in 1980, there were 100 Chinese students studying in the UK. Today, the number is 170,000. Last year, over 600, 000 left China to study in foreign countries.
Another example of that commitment is China International Import Expo(CIIE,中国国际进口博览in Shanghai which runs from Nov. 5 to Nov.10 in 2018. Over 140 countries exhibited (展出) their products, hoping to attract Chinese customers. With a market of 1.4 billion people, foreign countries see a very great chance here, and China recognizes that two-way trade with foreign countries is of importance to the health of the world economy.
The CIIE visitors coming to Shanghai saw a different city from the Shanghai of forty years ago. They saw streets filled with cars where once there were bicycles. They saw modern high-rise apartment buildings where once there were shabby (破旧的) brick houses. But they also saw a thing that hadn’t changed---- the friendly people of Shanghai who have led the way of China's successful reform and opening up.
