What's better for learning; hands-on projects or tests?

We did a survey about two, days to study in our school. 73% of the students prefer hands-on (动手的) projects while the rest think tests are better for learning. Here are four students' ideas。

Hands-on projects require time and hard work to complete. It teaches kids not to put things

off. Some kids might get bored and be less interested in studying for a test. Studying also doesn't

prepare you as much for the future, since jobs at times will have more difficult tasks than simply

studying for a test. Also, completing a project is good for spending time with your friends or

family.—Bruno

With a hands-on project you can be creative while you lean. It's also a lot more fun than

sitting at a desk with flash cards, memorizing information they'll forget about after the test.

Besides, with a hands-on project you can learn more than you expected, like problem solving,

creativity, and different ways of thinking.—David

When people study, they remember what was in the book. If they know they have a test, they

will most likely take notes on all the important information to help them with the test, so they will

learn it better.—Alice

I think kids learn better studying for tests. If you actually sit and study what you are supposed

to learn, you will remember it. Hands-on projects might end up making a kid feel stressed if they

are trying to finish on time, and if you are stressed, you might not learn as much.—Matt

1.According to the survey, how many students like studying for tests better?

A．73％B．50％C．27％D．100％

2.What does Bruno think of hands-on projects?

A．They may be less interesting and more difficult.

B．They can make children learn to put off tasks.

C．They are much easier than studying for tests.

D．They may help children to improve friendship.

3. How many reasons does David give why he prefers hands-on projects?

A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.

4. Which sentence describes Matt and Alice's point of view (观点) of studying for tests?

A．Students will focus on studying for tests better.

B．Students will be more creative while studying.

C．Students will be more active in and after class.

D．Students will forget the information after tests.

Many countries, including the United States and Japan, have long beeaban doing research on methane hydrate, but taking it from bottom of the sea has been a common problem they are facing. According to reports, China succeeded in drilling methane hydrate for a number of days continuously and got an average of over 16, 000 m3 daily. It is believed to be a big breakthrough.

Scientists say there is about 21,000 trillion (万亿) m3 of methane hydrate in the world. If we can use it, it can meet the world's energy need for 1,000 years. However, it is too early to say a new energy source (来源) has been found because we are still facing two main challenges—environmental risk and economic (经济的) cost. When methane hydrate is taken from the seabed, it may go into the air easily. That's very bad for the environment because methane is one of the worst greenhouse gases. Besides, drilling methane hydrate is very expensive as well.
