Ⅰ.阅读理解
It’s backtoschool time for kids across the country，but for the lucky sixthtoeighthgrade students in Stephanie Stephens’ classroom at James L．Capps Middle School in Oklahoma City，the US，they are already off to a wizardry first few days of learning.
“One of the toughest things as a reading teacher is instilling(逐渐灌输) a love of reading in those students that do not like reading，” Stephens，a teacher of 31 years old at James L．Capps Middle School，wrote to ABC News of her magical “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” themed classroom.“This year，I chose to go with a Harry Potter theme because if I am excited and enthusiastic，students tend to follow suit.My goal is to help students find at least one book or genre that they can find exciting and be as enthusiastic about as I am regarding Harry Potter.”
When her kids walked into her elective reading and math classroom on the first day of school Aug.20，they were all excited to take a tour of the room—every one of them felt like they had walked straight into Hogwarts in Harry Potter.
“The majority of my students loved the potions most，” Stephens wrote. It took the creative teacher a week to plan and order the different bookthemed items.
“I thought of everything that happened in the novel of Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer’s Stone，” she explained.
“I chose to keep with only the first book regarding decorating.I made a list of things that I could decorate the room with.I thought of all the magical things Harry saw and experienced and put myself in his shoes and picked the things that I could pull off in a classroom.I never got to a broom or mirror，but I planned to add that to my room at a later time.”
Stephens and her husband are such crazy fans of the Harry Potter books and movies that she says they actually “fall asleep to a Harry Potter movie every night”．
She’s encouraging her students to be enthusiastic about school and learning by splitting her classes up into different “houses” where they will earn “house points” for positive behavior.
“Each class is a different house and they will earn house points for different positive behavior in my classroom(5 points for a 100% on an assessment,1 point each day when a class picks up the classroom before leaving,2 points for students who bring all their supplies to class,5 points for students who are kind and help others without being asked，ect.)，” Stephens wrote.“Once the house points jar fills up they get a class reward.”
The prefect desk will also be used to highlight her student helper for the week who assists her in the classroom with checking iPads in and out to their fellow classmates，passing out papers，collecting papers and running errands for Stephens.
“A student is chosen for the prefect desk by following our school beliefs：‘Be Safe，Be Respectful，Be Responsible，Be Prompt，’” she explained.“The students are very excited about the chance to be a prefect.”
The photos of Stephens’ “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” themed classroom have gotten more than 10,000 views since her husband posted them to Reddit.She is very grateful for all the attention that the photos of her magical classroom are receiving.However，the teacher says that she simply does what she should do for her students “because they deserve the best”．“My students mean the world to me，”she added with a big smile on her face，“and I hope my enthusiasm for reading will transfer to each and every one of my kids.”

Editor’s note：China is the top country of origin for international students in the US，with more than 274,000 Chinese students reportedly accounting for 31 percent of all international students at US universities.Many Chinese parents save up a lot of money for their children to pursue an overseas education.Is it worth spending big to study abroad？You are welcome to leave your comments.
Arsa (Russia)：I went to study abroad when I was 17.First year was a total waste
B．Entertainment. D．Education.
as I met plenty of Russian students in my college and we spent most of our time shopping and hanging out at cafes.It wasn’t until two years later that I realized that my English hadn’t improved.I changed my mindset entirely and started studying hard.I ended up staying in UK for 10 years，which opened a lot of doors and introduced me to great people，so I’m all for studying abroad.
Truth (US)：There is an assumption that American education is the best in the world，so Chinese parents are pushing their kids to American colleges.And some are even sending their children overseas at junior or high school level.I often feel this is a mistake as the education a Chinese child gets in a foreign country is very different from what they are used to and they often struggle.Some students have trouble understanding their lecturers and their assignments keep coming back with poor scores.

More and more Chinese parents prefer to send their children to study abroad，assuming that their children can receive the best education despite heavy financial burdens.People’s opinions on this vary.
I think it makes good sense to send children to study abroad for the following reasons.First，when studying abroad，children are exposed to a different culture，which will help broaden their horizons and provide them with a chance to improve their foreign language.Second，living apart from their family，children can learn to adapt to the new environment and live on their own.Last but not least，faced with fierce competition in a job market，a person owning a foreign diploma can have an edge over others.
In summary，it goes without saying that studying abroad is an excellent experience from which children can benefit a lot，so if possible，children should make the most of the great chance.
