Unit 5 Poems 检测卷 一、完形填空 One day, my 12-year-old daughter participated in a school poetry reading event.

As I listened to the poems, I realized that the children were actually 4 the picture of their future. By “lying” to themselves, they were creating a 5 of who they wanted to be in the future. I couldn’t help admiring the school for 6 the children to dream big in such a special way, even if it might not be the first intention. In fact, most of us are 7 to see the truth of who we could be.

The Tutorial (导师的) System In the University of Oxford, teaching is conducted primarily through the tutorial system. Tutorials are beneficial to students’ skills of critical analysis, but the greatest advantage of the tutorial system is the individual guidance that students receive.
