27、After university in 2011, Samuel went to a rural primary school for native children, where, on his first day, another teacher told him, "Samuel, you don't have to do much, they're just Orang Asli-native children." This was what Samuel would spend years fighting against.

The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty, melting into society, and losing their own identity and culture due to others' disregard of it. The main barrier in teaching these children was that many of the teachers thought that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference, so nobody bothered to try. The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas (污名), often doubting what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes, and little effort was made to create an appropriate learning environment. Consequently, the school was one of the worst-performing in the district.

Samuel cared about his native students and accepted their culture, leading him to see their potential. However, he also came to see that they did not have equal opportunities compared to urban schools, due to the lack of facilities. So he set up a crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with tablets and computers. The Orang Asli children now learn technology, experience English and communicate in English with volunteers all over Malaysia and overseas.

Consequently, the students have improved in national standardized examinations, from a pass rate of 30% in English (2008-2012) to an average of 80% (2013-2017). These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children are considered capable of academically.

【1】What did the teacher's words suggest about the native children?

A．They were intelligent.

B．They were hopeless.

C．They were unfriendly.

D．They were independent.

【2】What major problem did Samuel need to solve?

A．The poverty of local people.

B．The lack of facilities in his school.

C．The unfair treatment of the native kids.

D．The unsuitable teaching methods.

【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The change of native students.

B．The importance of learning English.

C．The improvement of native education.

D．Samuel's work for the native kids.

【4】What can we learn from Samuel's story?

A．Respect makes a big difference.

B．The academic performance comes first.

C．Everyone deserves access to education.

D．One method can't apply to each situation.

28、What’s the biggest online shopping day in the world? Not Valentine’s Day. Not Cyber Monday or Black Friday. The winner is China’s Singles’Day, celebrated on November11, or 11.11.

Singles’Day began as a day for unmarried or uncoupled people to celebrate their lives. Single students, looking for an excuse to buy themselves presents, started it on November11,1993, reported The Guardian. It is symbolized by the four mumber ones in the date of November11 and is also called Double Eleven, in reference to the day it was started, said the BBC. It became a major shopping day in 2009. The CEO of an online shopping site --Alibaba-- tried to increase sales at the e-commerce company. The CEO, Daniel Zhang, launched an annual online sale on that day, said Fortune.

Last year, Alibaba sold more than $1 billion worth of products inthe first three minutes of the sales, reported Bloomberg News. Total sales on Singles’Day soared to $9 billion within 24 hours. That’s four times bigger than Cyber Monday in the U.S., which is the Monday after Thanksgiving and traditionally a big shopping day. By comparison, online sales in the U.S. last year on Black Friday were just $1.5 billion, reported TechCrunch.

Today, Singles’Day is very successful. Analysts say that this year, sales on China’s Singles’Day will increase to a new high. In the U.S., Jennifer Wang, a co-founder of a company targeting Chinese-Americans, said, “We expect to have 3 million people coming to click Dealmoon for the Singles’Day launch.” Some observers think Singles’Day could catch on globally.

29、I like watching butterflies. Sometimes I think I’m the only girl who notices these quiet but beautiful things. But if it hadn’t been for a crowded restaurant, I wouldn’t have ever noticed Valeri.

Valeri was a new student. She walked to class with her books against her chest and her head down. She talked only when the teacher asked her a question. After a month at our school, she hadn’t made any friend.

One day at lunch, most tables being full, I had nowhere to sit. Valeri sat alone, book in hand. I walked over to her, “Is that a good book?” Valeri gave a small nod and went back to reading. “What’s it about?” I asked. After seconds of silence, she looked at me, her eyes shining, “Well, it’s about a dragon! This boy, Eragon, finds this dragon egg when he goes playing one day. He thinks it’s a rock! The egg hatches（孵化）and Eragon hides the dragon from his cousin and uncle until it gets too big .”

Two weeks later, I was sitting in the auditorium（礼堂）enjoying the talent show. Then a shy girl walked on stage. I recognized her immediately. Valeri held a violin in one hand and a bow in the other. She started to play. The notes formed a soft, sweet tune. The auditorium fell completely silent until we realized the music was finished. I smiled to myself. Valeri wasn’t just “a quiet girl”. She knew about wonderful books and could play the violin like nothing I’d ever heard. Like a butterfly, she was beautiful and amazing when you looked closely.

31、A few years ago, I was working in a small office. I noticed that even though the size of the organization was not huge, we often worked in our different teams.

One particular week, I decided I wanted to make people smile but I wanted to do it 【1】 (secret). So one evening I wrote up some quotes that had inspired me over the years. The next morning, I went to work early and 【2】 (张贴) them up by the sinks and mirrors in the office restrooms. Maybe someone else would enjoy the quotes 【3】 (如同我一样) I had. And perhaps it 【4】 (may) just freshen their day.

For the next few months, some of the quotes 【5】 (take) down. But I noticed that a couple remained. Eventually, I finished out my contact 【6】 that organization, but I’d still often get emails from my former boss and teammates.

A few months ago, I was invited to reunion with my 【7】 (同事) . 【8】 I no longer worked in this office, I had really enjoyed 【9】 (work) with my team and was happy to see them again. Towards the end of the event, I went to the bathroom and found a quote that I 【10】 (write) two and half years earlier was still up in the same spot by the mirror. It reads: “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but seeing with new eyes” ——Marcle Proust.
