My students entered the art room with their usual eagerness to see what they would be learning in today’s class. Little did they know they were going to be students for a new teaching method that is spreading the nation.
I often use videos as previews and supplements (补充) to our art lessons providing students with a variety of artists showing their skills in real-life situations outside the classroom. Finding a new painting technique called glue batik(胶水蜡染), I thought of something new I hadn’t tried before! How awesome would it be to learn a new technique together with artists? The lesson was planned, presented to the students without any introduction or set objectives. I also asked the students to watch and pause the video as often as they needed to.
They watched as the artist explained and showed her skills, taking notes on her steps and results. After the video, they shared what they felt the artist’s objectives were, her end result using art vocabulary as well as the steps they would need to know to present their own examples. Then they began creating their works using the glue batik technique.
Surfing the Internet a couple of weeks later, I found that the teaching method I used sounded very familiar to a new movement in education called flipped teaching, which was developed by Jonathan Bergmann. He asked his students to watch video lectures at home and do exercises (homework) in class under supervision (监督). He found that grades went up and he also found time for other types of activities, which Bergmann states are more important than the videos.
Back to my art class, the students were learning to get ideas, make predictions, and explain reasoning to their classmates. Together they compared, asked questions and made discoveries as they presented the technique.
1.Which of the following is one of the benefits of flipped teaching?
A. Teachers needn’t check students’ homework
B. Students can control their own learning pace.
C. Students can choose whatever they want to learn.
D. Teachers can develop their own teaching methods.
2.Who plays a central role in the flipped teaching?
A. The artist. B. The parent.
C. The teacher. D. The student.
3.What is the best title for the text?
A. The flipped teaching I used in art class
B. Jonathan Bergmann’s flipped teaching
C. A teaching method spreading the nation
D. A new painting technique called glue batik

For many reasons, I didn’t choose to go to university like most of my family members, schoolmates and even best friends. I can’t say that I didn’t have moments of doubt about my decision. As the last term of school was coming to a close, I began to feel very anxious about the choice I made to be different and start an apprenticeship(学徒).
Although my A-level results day was the one that I felt extremely proud of, I knew that the general feeling from most of my teachers was disappointment. I completed my application, did a series of ability tests and interviews, and at last nine months later—I began an apprenticeship with Sellafield Ltd.
As soon as I started, I knew straight away that I made the right decision. From the people I met, to the on-the-job training that I was experiencing, I began to feel a real sense of purpose and could see a successful career in an industry that I found so interesting and challenging, paving the way in front of me. I never thought when I was in sixth grade that I would be working in the nuclear industry, but now I can’t imagine working anywhere else.
Since finishing my apprenticeship over two years ago, I’ve had countless opportunities to develop myself both academically and personally. I’ve bought my first home; I was chosen to be a part of the Government’s Get In Go Far apprenticeship campaign, and offered an amazing and unique secondment(人员借调) with the Environment, Health, Safety and Quality department at Sellafield.
I have no doubt that without my apprenticeship I wouldn’t be in the position I am today, but equally I know that it was only the beginning for me.
My apprenticeship inspired me to explore different career paths in the nuclear industry, and it gave me the confidence to know that I can succeed in shifting from one position to another.
1.How did the writer feel at the crossroad of making a choice?
A. Determined. B. Worried.
C. Proud. D. Regretted.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph Two?
A. The writer did badly at school.
B. His teachers supported his apprenticeship.
C. His apprenticeship didn’t come easily.
D. His apprenticeship lasted for nine months.
3.What can we infer about his apprenticeship?
A. It is fruitful and rewarding.
B. It is easy and interesting.
C. It caused him frequent job changes.
D. It limited him to the unclear industry.

Here are a few of our favorite entries so far in our “Your Life: The Reader’s Digest Version” contest. After reading these, head over to Facebook and submit (提交) your own story about a special moment or lesson that shaped your life.
“There’s Always a John”
By Darla Boyd
My first year of teaching, there was a kid named John in my class. John was difficult to control and he nearly drove me crazy. While talking about him one day, an old teacher put his hand on my shoulder and said, “There will always be a John. Your job is to lean, to discover what make him different and help him grow better.” The next year, there was indeed another John. In the last 20 years, I’ve learned to enjoy all the kids like John. That advice taught me that there is something to appreciate in everyone.
“An Early Key Lesson”
By Elaine West
Before I began my first teaching job, my mother, a teacher of 30 years, gave me a very special gift, five simple words that have had an effect on my entire life: “Make friends with the janitor (门卫).” Her wisdom taught me the respect for all types of characters and continue to enrich my life to this day. Just five little words but what an impact they can have when you take them to heart.
“Raising Mommy”
By Jan Davis
Being a mother can always present challenges and rewards. Someone told me early in my parenting career that “Children will teach you everything you need to know”. Being a mother is being raised. Our children become our advisers. Their dreams become our professors, as we are taking notes carefully. The sounds of their laughter and smiles on their faces are a great reward to us or bring us great joy. Their tears remind us that it is okay to fail, wipe the tears away and try again.
1.What did the old teacher mean by saying “There will always be a John”?
A. There are always difficult students like John.
B. John will always be an ordinary student.
C. It is important to change John.
D. John is a very common name.
2.What did Elaine West’s mother advise her to do?
A. Don’t treat students differently.
B. Take care of janitors.
C. Respect people from different backgrounds.
D. Don’t judge people by appearance.
3.Which of the following would Jan Davis most probably agree with?
A. A mother should be given more care.
B. A mother improves herself greatly in parenting.
C. Being a mother has more challenges than rewards.
D. Children should realize the dreams of their parents.
4.The text is most probably a(n) .
A. notice inviting contributions. B. introduction to a contest.
C. ad for three new books. D. poster about a lecture.

The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.
Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’ ”
The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump ” .
Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
1.The book Gone with the Wind was _________.
A. first published on a newspaper B. awarded ten Academy Awards
C. written in “The Dump” D. adapted from a movie
2.The underlined phrase “tower over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.
A. be very pleased with B. show great respect for
C. be much taller than D. show little interest in
3.Why did Ms. Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage?
A. Because she was rich enough. B. Because she was injured then.
C. Because her husband didn’t like it. D. Because she wanted to write books.
4.Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.
B. Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.

Despite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely.
One citizen, however, is trying to change this. “You get on the Tube and it’s completely silent and it’s weird(怪异的),” says Jonathan Dunne, who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章) with the words “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another. “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting most of them to be thrown away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says. Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign have since been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances.
Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback, not everyone agrees with his idea. Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them. Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you,” he says.
“People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” Dunne says.
So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.
1.In what way did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?
A. By putting up posters on the tube.
B. By offering passengers special badges.
C. By advocating his idea on the media.
D. By starting a dialogue with passengers.
2.How is Dunne’s campaign getting along?
A. Most passengers have refused to accept it.
B. It has become a worldwide campaign.
C. It has caught international attention.
D. Wilson has made great efforts to promote it.
3.According to Michael Robinson, what should tube passengers do?
A. Hand in their feedback in time.
B. Walk up and talk to strangers.
C. Stop using public transport.
D. Enjoy the peace quietly.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A. Tube Chat or Not
B. Lonely Travel in the London Tube
C. Silence on the Tube
D. Tube Passengers Wearing Badges
