2． What do you think school education means?
Andy's parents used to tell him how important school was for him, but he didn't think so. He paid little attention to it. But one thing let him finally realize what his parents meant. One day, when he walked past a mobile phone company, he saw an advertisement (广告) on its door. It was hiring new workers!
"Sir, are you hiring people" he went into the company and asked, "Yes, but you should be the man who we need," the manager answered. He looked at him for a few seconds from head to foot. "Do you have a high school diploma (文凭)?" continued he, "Or do you have any work experience?"
He felt so ashamed and uncomfortable that he didn't know what to say, because he doesn't have a high school diploma or any work experience. Then he just turned around and left. He could not fall asleep that night, and he thought a lot about his future. I must go to school or I can't do anything without a good education," he said to himself silently. He never went back to the company again before he finished his study and got a diploma.
Everything looked the same when he returned to the company: the same people and the same design. However, compared with last time, he had more confidence. The manager told him they needed new workers. So it was a great chance for him. He showed his diploma to the manager. He looked at it and said, "Great, you are in."
Now he is still working in the same company. With this experience, he always advise people to attend school. Education helps you have a bright future. Now he is not worried about his future because he is still learning in his spare time. Do you agree with Andy's parents' ideas?

3． Wind power is a very clean source (来源) of energy This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin (旋转). When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity.
A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that's not true. For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today bur these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.
Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it's clean. Windmills don't pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it's getting even cheaper.
A lot of people don't understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. They used to be true, but it isn't true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New. windmills spin slowly and they aren't dangerous for birds.
However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn't blow all the time, so we can't use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.
Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world's power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.

Whose homework is it anyway? In a guiding document issued on Oct 26, the municipal education bureau of Taiyuan (太原市教育局), capital of Shanxi province, banned (禁止) schools from asking their students' parents to check and correct their children's 1.             .
Parents of students know how their children's homework often becomes 2.             . If the child has a math homework, the parents are 3.             to correct the wrong answers; if the child writes an article, the parents have to make the sentences more beautiful; 4.             the child is given a paper－cutting assignment, the parents must do everything.

By being cold to a child, teachers can destroy children's confidence, whereas (然而) by being warm and 9.             , teachers can shape their characters and future.
