A
An

carrying a large bag of money. She asked
to speak with the president of the
bank.
“How
can
I
help
you?”
the
bank
president
asked.
She
replied,
“I
would
like
to
open
a
savings
account(
存款账户),” and placed
the bag of 1.m
on his desk. The president
was surprised
to see this, so he asked
her, “Madam, how did you make this money?” The
ol
d lady 2.r
,
“I make
bets(赌注).” Surprised, the president then asked,
“What kind of bets?” The old lady
said,
“Well, for example, I’ll bet you 5,000,000
yuan
that your tongue will
become square by 10
o’clock tomorrow
morning.”“What?” the president asked.
He then smiled and said, “You’ve got
yourself a bet!” and shook her hand
3.h
. The old lady said, “Okay. May I bring
my lawyer
with me tomorrow 4.a
a
witness(
见证者)?”“Sure!” the president
confidently answered.
The next
morning, at 10,the old lady showed 5.u
with her lawyer at the president’s
office.
She
asked
the
president
to
6.o
his
mouth
so
they
could
all
see.
The
old
lady
looked
closely at his tongue and then asked
7.i
she could touch it.“Well,
5,000,000
yuan
is a
lot of money. I gue
ss it’s
OK,” the president said. At this moment, he saw
that the lawyer was
hitting his head
8.a
the wall. The president
asked, “What is the 9.m
with your
lawyer?” The old lady answered, “I bet
him 10,000,000

B
It was a history class. But both a
history teacher and a chemistry teacher came in.
After the
history teacher introduced
some famous bronze
wares(
青铜器
) in 1.h
,
the
chemistry teacher
2.d
an experiment to find out what was in
the bronze ware.
This kind of class is not
new for students of Luwan Middle School in
Shanghai. Last year, the
school began
to open
interdisciplinary(
跨学科
)
classes. That means teachers in different 3.s
can have a class together. According to
some teachers, this kind of classes may help
students 4.l
knowledge in different
ways. So far twenty interdisciplinary classes 5.h
come out.
Students are very 6.e
about this kind of class. “I really
look forw
ard to what new
1
ideas
our
teachers
will
bring
out
to
us.
And
they
always
surprise
us,”
said
Chen
Fei,
a
15
-year-old
eighth-grader.
7.H
, a few teachers think
it’s8.m
difficult to teach in
group. Each teacher
of
the
group
should
finish
9.t
in
a
short
time,
and
isn’t
allowed
to
explain
10.e
he
wants
clearly to the students. So sometimes students
have much fun, but they don’t have enough
time and chances to think.
C
Built with life
If
someone
mentions
Paris,
Sydney
or
Istanbul,
you
might
picture
one
of
those
1.c
beautiful buildings.
Architecture(
建筑
) is often
the most quick and familiar way to recognize a
place.
Throughout time,
architecture has been one of the 2.m
important
carriers of culture.
“It is certainly
part of how we see ourselves, and part of how we
see the world,” said Martha
Thorne,
executive director of the Pritzker prize for 3.a
.
Over the past half-century, master
architect Ieoh Ming Pei was 4.i
by many
cultures
in his work. The Chinese-
American died in his New York City home on May 16.
Pei
designed the Suzhou Museum. With its white walls
and dark rooftops (
粉墙黛瓦
), it
looks
5.l
a modern version of
classic Chinese gardens. 6.A
of his works,
the Museum of
Islamic Art in Qatar,has
traditional Arabian-style arch windows.
“You only have to cast your eyes on
buildings to feel the presence of the past, the
spirit
of a place,” Pei once said.
“they are the reflection of society.”
“But
architecture is not 7.j
about
reflecting society and culture. It should also be
made for the people who live and work
in it,” Thorne said.
She praised the
Ningbo Museum designed by Pritzker winner Wang
Shu, as a perfect 8.e
.
The museum is
a huge building, but it never makes people 9.f
insignificant(
无足轻重的
).
“You feel that you’re cared for as you
go in the building,” Thorne said.
Its
design imitates mountains, valleys and caves. This
10.n
environment makes people
feel relaxed. And there are several
paths inside the museum for visitors to choose
from.
After all, as Thorne points out, the
most unique aspect of architecture is that “it may
last
for hundreds and hundreds of
years.”
