| May: We students have so many burdens (负担). Maybe examination is the greatest one. Open-book exams can make our burdens lighter, I think. At least it means that we need not learn so many things by heart any more. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Hill: Open-book exams do not mean students do not need textbooks any more. Instead, it shows how much students really understand about the book. It may mean we need spend even more time learning history and politics because the open-book exam means going deeply into the textbooks. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Sun: We need a long time learning for history and politics exams because there are so many things to remember. And sometimes the results are not very good, even if we have spent a long time studying. If we are able to take books into our exams, we will save time and we won"t have so many headaches. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Ethiopian children are crazy about football but few of them have f ootballs of their own. They have to play with a paper football. Like all children, they find time to play but they also have to do a lot of work. Some children have to help their parents look after younger brothers or sisters from the age of five. Many young boys have to look after animals and the girls have to help their mothers carry water. At present only one third of small children go to primary school because there are so many children and so few schools. The classes have to be very large. In one school I went to there were 90 children in a class! Traditionally the Ethiopians do not eat many vegetables. This is very bad for children, so many schools have their own garden where youngsters can grow their own vegetables. There is no public transport, so children have to walk to school. One child I spoke to had to walk for even six hours! Many walk for two or three hours. But the Ethiopians love going to school because they know how important education is. The Ethiopian government wants more children to go to school, and organizations like UNICEF are helping them. Many of the children want to be doctors and they will have to work hard but they know that they are Ethiopia"s hope for the future. Ethiopia n. 埃塞俄比亚 UNICEF = United Nations International Children"s Emergency Fund 1. Do Ethiopian children like playing football? 2. How many Ethiopian children can go to primary school? 3. What is Ethiopians" bad eating habit? 4. Who are helping Ethiopian children to get education? 5. What can you learn about Ethiopia from the passage? | |||||||||||||||||||||
