Do you think England teaches math the same way China does The answer is yes!
In England, we have math lessons very similar to what kids have in China. During each lesson, our teacher teaches us about a new math concept (概念). Later, we finish either a worksheet or a booklet to improve our understanding. We have a test once every term to see how much we have learned.
But things were a little different in Year 7. We didn’t do any end-of-year exams. We did something different – a math test to form “sets”. What does set mean In each class of 26 students, only 30 percent will reach the top set. The other students will be in the medium set. To get into the top set, you need to get high scores on your math exams. With the sets, teachers can pay more attention to a smaller group of students who are good at math. They can give them harder questions to do.
I had my math sets exam on May 17. It had two parts, A and B. For part A, we had 40 minutes. It was mainly arithmetic (算术) and questions about numbers. For part B, we had 50 minutes to answer problem-solving questions.
I got into the top set. It is true that the lessons are much harder. But I like it because it makes me more competitive.
44. In England, students take a test once every term to _____.
A. learn a new math concept B. check how much they’ve learned
C. improve their understanding D. compare themselves with Chinese students
45. Teachers will give _____ to students in the top set.
A. more praise B. more tests C. less homework D. harder questions
46. What do we know from the story
A. The writer didn’t like the math lessons in England.
B. The writer finally got into the top set in her class.
C. The writer liked the math lessons in China better.
D. The writer thought her math lessons were not difficult.
C
Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly. The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis(蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn’t struggle (挣扎) to leave the chrysalis, it can’t fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges (挑战) of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming (克服) challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful people have had to struggle. One famous businessman now owns many big supermarkets. He used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father’s death made him grow up fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.
47. From the story we know that the butterfly can’t fly because ________.
A. it gets out by itself B. the man feels sorry for it
C. it tries to challenge itself D. the man helps it come out
48. Dennis’s example shows that successful people should ________.
A. overcome the difficulties B. take up business early
C. become the leaders of tomorrow D. sell clothes from door to door
49. What is the writer trying to do in this passage
A. Describe where a butterfly comes from.
B. Encourage young people to face challenges.
C. Suggest how to become a successful businessman.
D. Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam.
50. What is the best title for this passage
A. Successful People Have a Sense of Achievement
B. Young People Must Develop Their Energy Actively
C. Countries Should Continue to Become Successful
D. Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young People

Dear Andy,
Thank you for your email, I am very glad to tell you something about my study and life.
My school life is interesting and colourful here. We can choose our favourite subjects to study. Of all the subjects, English is my favourite. In class we practise listening and speaking. My English teacher is kind to us.
Max is my best friend. He is the tallest boy in my class and wears small round glasses. He has a good sense of humour. He tells funny jokes and always makes me laugh.
I am crazy about DIY, too. I often use fruit in season to make a fruit salad. For example, mixing all kinds of fruits together will make the salad look very colourful I think it is fun. I hope I can be a master of DIY.
How about your study and life I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Li Lei
