27、 After university in 2011, Samuel went to a rural primary school for native children, where, on his first day, another teacher told him, "Samuel, you don't have to do much, they're just Orang Asli-native children." This was what Samuel would spend years fighting against.
The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty, melting into society, and losing their own identity and culture due to others' disregard (漠视,不尊重) of it. Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference, so nobody bothered to try. The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas (污名), often doubting what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes, and little effort was made to create an appropriate learning environment. Consequently, the school was one of the worst-performing in the district.
Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture, leading him to see their potential. However, he also came to see that they did not have equal opportunities compared to urban schools, due to the lack of facilities. So he set up a crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with tablets and computers. The Orang Asli children now learn technology, experience English and communicate in English with volunteers all over Malaysia and overseas.
Consequently, the students have improved in national standardized examinations, from a pass rate of 30% in English (2008-2012) to an average of 80% (2013-2017). These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children are considered capable of academically.
【1】What did the teacher's words suggest about the native children?
A.They were hopeless.
B.They were intelligent.
C.They were unfriendly.
D.They were independent.
【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The change of native students.
B.The importance of learning English.
C.The improvement of native education.
D.Samuel's work for the native kids.
【3】What major problem did Samuel need to solve?
A.The poverty of local people.
B.The lack of facilities in his school.
C.The prejudice against the native kids.
D.The unsuitable teaching methods.
【4】What can we learn from Samuel's story?
A.The academic performance comes first.
B.Respect makes a big difference.
C.Everyone deserves access to education.
D.One method can't apply to each situation.
28、【1】
Home can be a great place for children to study. It’s important to provide a work space of their own where they can read books or just write a letter to their friends.
Location
【2】 Kitchen and dining room are not so well suited for regular study, since books and pens get in the way of the day-to-day uses of those areas. Set up a place where a child can settle in and leave papers and pens at hand without having to clear everything away each night. For a child that likes being alone,set aside a corner of his bedroom, but keep it separate from things like games, music and other hobbies not related to study.
Keeping Things in Order
Parents should encourage their child to spread out, but to leave it neat and orderly when he isn’t using his workspace. Ownership is very important for self-respect. A child who learns to organize his space will carry organization into every corner of his life. The workplace should be personal, but not another part of the playroom.
【3】
Encourage the whole family to help build a supportive environment that children need for success in school. Give them a good example of how to deal with problems, how to manage time and get things done in the right way. 【4】 Study will be more enjoyable and effective when supported by the whole family.
A.Attitude Is Everything
B.Bring Organization into Your Home
C.Here are several ways to choose a location.

30、Christmas 2020 was shaping up to be a heartbreaker for Lee. A few weeks earlier, her 33-year-old son had lost his _________ with a long illness. Then the engine on her 2007 Chevrolet (雪弗兰) stopped working. She had no means of paying for it to be fixed.

"I had no idea what was going on," said Lee. "He _________ me the keys and didn't ask for anything." Once again, she's able to _________ her granddaughters at school and send them to dance class. "I got my _________ back.”
