Exam-taker inspired by drama
During final exams, students try their best to impress teachers in order to get a high score. A student at Chengdu Polytechnic Institute, Sichuan province, did something similar. Xie Qing, a Grade II student, learning make-up and costume design, surprised her teacher and Internet users by preparing a model looking like the main actress of the TV drama, “The Saga of Wu Zetian,” for her final exam.
Schools ban Christmas events
Wenzhou has banned Christmas events in all schools, Wenzhou Evening News reported. The notice was sent from the Wenzhou Education Bureau (教育局) to all kindergartens, primary and middle schools in the city. This is the first time that the education bureau has sent a notice banning any Christmas celebration and activities. The notice caused a heated discussion online. An official from the bureau said it simply wants to make sure that schools pay more attention to traditional Chinese festivals.
Photos to monitor attendance
Calling the roll-call is so old. Instead of taking attendance the traditional way, a teacher at Central China Normal University in Wuhan takes a photo of his class every day to monitor attendance. Meng Xiangbin, who teaches press photography, takes pictures before and after class, to see who is late, who leaves early and who is absent. Some students say it makes them feel unfortable, while some say they prefer this method, because calling the roll-call before class wastes too much time.

People in South Korea who feel they can no longer bear the stress（压力） of everyday life now have the choice to put themselves in a prison to relax and think alone.
The prison is a stress-reduction center named ‘Prison Inside Me’, located on the outskirts of Hongcheon, about 58 miles northeast of Seoul.
It is the brainchild of 47-year-old Kwon Yong-seok, who was once a lawyer. “I didn’t know how to stop working back then,” he said. “I felt like I was being swept away against my will, and it seemed I couldn’t control my own life.” At that moment, he decided to spend time behind bars. He asked his old friend – a prison head – if he could spend a week in prison, but his request was refused.
So Kwon decided to design and build a prison-like spiritual center. The center was pleted in June last year and cost about 2 billion won ($19 million). Kwon managed to cover the cost by borrowing from banks, friends and relatives. The facility, he said, was not built for making money.
The facility includes 28 single rooms, equipped with only a toilet, a sink and a small table, where guests can spend time alone, thinking deeply and enjoying the quiet and peace. According to the Wall Street Journal, hundreds of stressed South Koreans are checking in at the stress-reduction center. A two-night stay at “Prison Inside Me” costs 150,000 won ($146/€106).
Park Woo-sub, a guest said, “It is very boring, but it is very helpful, because I can look into my inner self and talk to myself in prison". Another guest thought the place was too warm and clean to feel like a real prison. He said, “It would have been more helpful if the facility had been in poorer shape like a real prison.”
32. Why did Kwon Yong-seok build the “Prison Inside Me”?
A. He wanted to have his own prison to punish the crimes.
B. He wanted to help South Koreans to reduce stress.
C. He wanted to make much money in a new field.
D. He wanted to bee popular in South Korea.
33. The underlined phrase “behind bars” in the third paragraph probably means ________.
A. in bars B. behind the doors C. in prison D. in police station
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Mr. Kwon cannot afford to build “Prison Inside Me” by himself.
B. Park Woo-sub has been put into prison three times for his crime.
C. A two-night stay at “Prison Inside Me” costs $150,000.
D. “Prison Inside Me” has no difference from a real prison.
35. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. A very popular prison in South Korea.
B. Methods to reduce stress in South Korea.
C. A lawyer and his contribution in South Korea.
D. A stress-reduction center in South Korea.

When your pet is sick, you know it needs medicine. But pets, like babies, don't know the pill you want them to take will help them. 36 Here are some tips to help get your pet to take liquid medicine.
Ask the vet if the liquid medicine can be given with food. 37 First, give your hungry pet a small amount of canned food without the medicine. Next, while the pet is still hungry, mix the medicine in a small amount food and present it. Repeat as necessary to get all medicine down. 38 If the pet decides not to finish the meal, the medicine will be wasted.
If the chemist says the medicine cannot be taken with food, you need a syringe (注射器) or a dropper to get the liquid down your pet's throat.
Before you call your pet in, be sure to have the medicine and any other materials you’ll need ready. 39 Put your pet where it cannot run away. Once the pet is in position, use one hand to gently open the pet's mouth from above, tilting (倾斜) back the head slightly. 40 Slowly squeeze (挤) the medicine. Try to keep your pet's mouth closed for about 30 seconds.

A. They just know it smells funny and they don't want it.
B. Use your other hand to insert the syringe or dropper between the cheek and back teeth.
C. Never mix the medicine with the full meal.
D. You should know the reason why the pet refuses to take medicine.
E. If the answer is yes, then your easiest path is to mix it with canned food.
F. Keep a cheerful tone in your voice so the pet doesn't sense your stress.
G. Don't force your pet to swallow all the medicine.
