      Thousands of teenagers will be able to move to a new wave of “studio schools” at the age of 14 to improve their chances of finding a job in UK. Twelve new-style schools are open to act as a bridge to the workplace and cut the number of NEETs.
Under plans, schools will operate longer days and work outside standard school terms.
      Each teenager will be expected to spend between four hours and two days a week on work placements with business related to the school and a personal coach will be sent to the teenagers to act as a school “line manager”.
       The reforms (改革) are put forward because of the fears that too many teenagers are finishing full-time education at present but they are short of the skills needed to succeed in the workplace. According to a recent report, more than two thirds of employers (雇主) believe school and college leavers have less important employability skills, while 55% say they are unable to manage their time or daily routine. And the number of NEETs who are not in education has hit a record high, with almost one-in-five young people being left without a job or a training place.
      The Department for Education will tell the public the building of 12 studio schools – providing for around 3,600 teenagers – in areas such as Liverpool, Stevenage, Stock-on-Trent and Fulham, west London. Each one will be connected to the local employers. Under plans, teenagers will be able to move out of ordinary schools to attend them between the ages of 14 and 19.
    The government said all subjects would be taught “through projects, often prepared with employers” – with rules such as science being connected directly to local engineering companies or hospitals. Schools will operate a longer day to give teenagers a better understanding of the needs of the workplace. Along with their studies, students will carry out work placements for four hours a week, rising to two days a week of paid work for those aged 16 to 19. They will also get the chance to take professional qualifications (专业资历) connected directly to the needs of local employers.

(1)、According to the passage, NEETs refer to those who ______.

A、often miss classes from studio school B、prefer studio schools to ordinary schools C、refuse to take any part-time job after school D、are not in education, employment or training
(2)、Compared to ordinary schools, studio schools will offer the young more ______.

A、skills to finish full-time education B、personal coaches to help with the work C、chances to get future jobs with job training D、jobs to make money without going outside
(3)、What makes the government decide to build studio schools?

A、The worry about educated teenagers short of working skills. B、The doubt about whether full-time education is perfect. C、The decision to solve the problems of unemployment. D、The increasing number of teens who drop out early.
(4)、What can be the best title for the passage?

A、Studio schools are popular in UK at present. B、More NEETs will find jobs from Studio schools C、Teenagers will get jobs without full-time education. D、Studio schools are built to improve teens' employability skills.

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

 Guo Guangpu, a university professor, can be a bit odd outside the classroom, especially when he is seen sniffing(闻) bird droppings, or even pretending to eat them for dramatic effect.

 This dramatic way of teaching has proved to be effective. To date, Guo has made more than  100 short science videos about animals and plants, as well as eco logy systems. People can find information on a wide range of interesting natural phenomena(现象) in Guo's educational videos on the popular short video- sharing platform Douyin.

 His followers have watched his trips to learn about unusual knowledge. For example, they can see lychee in Dongguan of Guangdong province, Asiatic toad (蟾蜍) in Zhejiang province, and weird fruits of various shapes and sizes in Yunnan province.

" Science videos are not easy to make. You have to be professional as well as lively and interesting. Only in this way can people with different levels of knowledge understand," Guo says. Therefore, he needs to look up plenty of information to make sure that there are no mistakes in his videos. While presenting the knowledge, he also tries his best to deliver the information in plain words.

 As a result, his efforts have attracted more than 14,000 followers since March. Some of his videos have received as many as 17,000 likes.

" With the help of Professor Guo,I am able to appreciate the beautiful land across the country even without leaving home," says Ren Jiaxi, one of Guo's Douyi n followers." His video encourages my interest in learning," Ren adds.

Who is the most famous artist in the world? If not Leonardo da Vinci, it might be Pablo Picasso(毕加索). 

Picasso(1881-1973) was one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. He had a talent for drawing. Born in Spain, Picasso showed his talent at an early age. He first learned painting from his father, who was an art teacher. By the time he was 13. he could draw better than his father. He could draw and paint just about anything, and in any style. He liked to try out new ideas. 

People put his life and art into different periods. One of his most famous periods was his Cubist period. Cubism is when an artist paints things, like a bottle, from many different angles(角度) all in the same picture. So, you see the front, the back and the sides of the bottle all at the same time. In a way, it is a bit like having x- ray(透视) eyes. 

This new way of painting surprised the art world in the 20th century. Picasso has become an idol(偶像) to many artists nowadays. People say he helped us see the world in new ways. 

So do you want to see the art of Picasso? On August 14th, an exhibition(展览) opened in Shanghai. It shows 103 of his works. The exhibition will last until October 31st. But it will not be available to the public on weekends. If you are fond of Picasso's work, don't miss this great chance!
