AJoin us for the opening of the schools ofthe future exhibition — eventThe year is 2035. A group of schoolchildren heads over to a garden for lunch and, after the break, teachers send lessons into headsets (头戴式耳机) worn by students. The wearable tech is able to read body signals to make sure the child is concentrating (全神贯注) and can differentiate the lessons according to how their young charge is getting along. It can also send a full progress assessment (评估) to the teacher.This is one picture of the future of school life, but how likely is it? Over the past five months, the Guardian Teacher Network has been exploring how schools might develop over the next twenty years and beyond. Our journalists have explored a series of topics from whether computers could replace teachers and how some libraries are breaking with tradition, to the rise of outdoor learning and the forest school revolution. One area that provides much food for thought is the future of school dinners. Journalist Matthew Jenkin has looked back at Jamie Oliver’s campaign against Turkey Twizzlers, deciding that the next hot topics include mealtimes and foods.We’re now bringing these ideas to life in an exciting exhibition, supported by Zurich Municipal, held at our offices in London. It is free to attend. We’ll be hearing from Liz Sproat, the head of education for Google across Europe, Middle East and Africa.We’d love for you to join us for a spot of future drinks and food.Date: Sunday 17 June 2018Time: 6:30 pm to 8:30 pmLocation: The Guardian, 90 York Way, London, N1 9GUCost: FreeSpeakers: Charles Leadbeater, author and education advisorMargaret Cox OBE, professor of information technology in education, King’s College LondonTom Sherrington, headteacher, Highbury Grove SchoolLiz Sproat, head of education, EMEA, Google21.

Then, a young woman, named Haridata, uses the bike to bring sick people to the hospital.What a wonderful journey the bicycle takes and what a useful life it has. The Red Bicycle is a great story.

I’d always dreamed of working outdoors but I ended up doing a law degree at the University of the West of England in Bristol, thinking that this would bring me a better job.After graduating, I became an adviser. I enjoyed the work, but knew it wasn’t the right career for me. At this point, my 98-year-old grandma died, leaving me enough money to pay for an agricultural course. I decided to study agriculture at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester.I loved the programme. I spent my holidays from milking cows to helping in farm shops. I spent time lambing (照料母羊产羔) on a beautiful hill farm in Wales. I’d get up at 5 am in the morning, go out to care for the lambs that had been born over night.In my old job, getting up early to go to the office was a struggle. It’s easier on a farm, where you know there are an imals that rely on you. They’re living things, and if you don’t turn up something serious might happen to them.I’ve also been fortunate enough to find a job as industry communications manager with Red Tractor, the largest food assurance scheme (保障计划) in the UK. The role is very varied: one day I might talk at an agricultural show, educating children about where their food comes from; the next day I could be managing the design of the new food and farming standards.My advice to anyone wanting a career change is to seize (抓住) the moment. To those interested in working in agriculture, try to get as much work experience as you can.28. What does the underlined part “dawned on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Hit.B. Moved.C. Excited.D. Satisfied.29. What does the author think of her job on a farm?A. Busy.B. Tiring.C. Difficult.D. Enjoyable.30. What did the author do at Red Tractor?A. She milked cows.B. She helped in farm shops.C. She took care of lambs on the farm.D. She gave speeches on agriculture to children.31. What is the author’s advice to readers?A. Work as a volunteer on a farm.B. Make a career change as soon as possible.C. Take the chance to do what you want to do.D. Get enough work experience before looking for a job.DOne theory is that kissing all began when cavemen began licking (舔) their neighbours’ faces for the salt on them. But whatever it might have been for, the fact remains that, in one form or another, kissing has been widespread, though it developed mostly in the West.Ancient Greek and Roman parents kissed their children, and lovers or married people kissed each other, as did friends. In the Middle Ages (the period in European history between about 1100 and 1500 AD) knights kissed before doing battle. Early Christians were often kissed to express respect.Kissing is very much a cultural practice, and rules and attitudes vary across the globe. The French, who have had quite a lot of kissing practice, have turned kissing into a fine social art, although these days, even they are not sure when or how to do it. Many French kiss one another three, or even more, times. It can sometimes go on for a long time. Italians are enthusiastic kissers at all times, and they have been for centuries. Arabic men greet one another with kisses, as do Arabic women. Russian men too are often seen greeting one another with kisses, and it is especially noticeable in the world of Russia, where the three-kiss greeting has become a social behavior. The British, though, remain shy about social kissing. The Japanese, along with many Asian peoples, consider kissing, at least in public, as a Western custom and sometimes even offensive(冒犯的). Kissing has, however, become more commonplace in some Asian countries in the past few years.But kissing does seem to be on the increase. We kiss people we used to hug, we hug people we used to shake hands with, and we shake hands with those we used to nod to.32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The importance of kissing.B. Kissing in the Middle Ages.C. Different reasons for kissing.D. The early development of kissing.33. What can we learn about kissing in France?A. It influences other countries.B. It seems a bit confusing.C. It always changes.D. It takes less time.34. Where is social kissing least popular?A. In Britain.B. In Russia.C. In France.D. In Italy.35. What does the underlined sentence try to say?A. Kisses are more welcome than hugs.B. People’s manners are getting friendlier.C. Kissing is a better way to show respect.D. There are many different forms of greeting.四、七选五Does failure really exist?If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t. 36 The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.37Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don’t do that! 38 Never quit, never admit failure, and never loseheart.Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.It’s a good idea to set a general timeline (时间表), but remember that something will be beyond your control. 39 If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. 40 You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.A. Never give up on yourself.B. Failure only exists in your own mind!C. That’s exactly how failure makes us feel.D. It simply means you have not done enough yet.E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.F. Make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.第三部分：完形填空（满分30分）An American businessman who travelled in southern Mexico met with one young Mexican fisherman rowing a small boat at the dock (码头).Inside the boat were several large 41 .
