Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the student. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (inform) in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned {#blank#}3{#/blank#} brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (responsibility) for learning the material assigned. When research {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (assign), the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with minimum guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a university library works; they expect students, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (especial) graduate students, to be able to exhaust the reference origins in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students should not be too dependent on them. In the United States, professors have many other duties {#blank#}8{#/blank#} teaching, such as administrative or research work. Therefore, the time {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a professor can spend with a student outside of class {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (limit). If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make an appointment.

    Beijing was once a city of bikes, known as the Bicycle Kingdom{#blank#}1{#/blank#} cars were reserved for official business and the politically powerful. However, decades of economic{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (grow) led to a huge flowing of cars in the city. Owning one became not just a marker of reaching the middle class but also a requirement for marriage. As the economy developed, autos pushed bikes off the roads{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (create) heavy pollution and miserable traffic.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(fortunate), now Beijing may he returning to its roots. Thanks to about 20 technology companies, brightly colored shared bikes {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(flood) into Beijing in the last two years. Many local residents welcome the shared bikes{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the flexibility and freedom they offer. They pick up the bikes and then ride and drop{#blank#}7{#/blank#} off anywhere they like, locking the back wheel, with no need to find a fixed place.

    Analyses in China say it is three factors that contribute to bikes {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(increase) rapidly: a lot of cash looking for a home, a good idea and government support. “As the city s population grew, traffic jams got {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (bad).” Cai, the Ofo spokeswoman, said, “Shared bikes could solve the 'last mile' problem in {#blank#}10{#/blank#} environmentally friendly way.”

    Digging through kids' school bags, looking up all the assignments, sitting beside them going through each item, and finally {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(have) all the homework checked with a name signed is a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(day)routine for most Chinese parents, as required by teachers. A demanding task especially after a long day's work at office, isn't it?{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（lucky）, some parents in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, have been liberated. A local primary school has recently announced that parents will no longer have to sign their names on their kids' homework, as students should be responsible{#blank#}4{#/blank#}their own assignments.

    Making mistakes is{#blank#}5{#/blank#}essential part of the process of understanding. Who cares how much you{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(score) in your homework after you have settled down in life and found your directions? The ability to realize one's mistakes and learn from them is what matters,{#blank#}7{#/blank#}is also the main purpose of education. Why not give students a chance{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(find) out and correct their mistakes themselves?

    It is by no{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（mean）parents' duty to go through the kids' assignments.{#blank#}10{#/blank#}parents are supposed to do is to create a friendly studying environment for kids, and teach them to be an independent learner. After all, independent learning is much more important than high scores.

    For thousands of years, doctors {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (recognize) that childbirth can have a big effect on a woman's mind and body. Many women experience a time of sadness {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they give birth to a baby. This is called the baby blues, or postnatal depression.

    Doctors do not know the exact cause of postnatal depression. But they believe that an imbalance of brain chemicals {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) probably the cause. Hormones are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (nature) body chemicals. They affect a person's emotions. Immediately after pregnancy, a woman's hormone {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (level) change a lot. So, a woman's emotions and ways of thinking also change a lot.

    Other brain chemicals also influence the way a person feels. They {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (physical) affect the brain. They make a person feel depressed. There are ways to fix and balance these brain chemicals.

    Some medicines, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (call) anti-depressants, can help to treat postnatal depression. But these medicines may cost a lot of money. And not all people can get them. However, there are ways that women may be able to treat and recover from these sicknesses without medicine.

    If you are a new mother {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (suffer) from the baby blues or postnatal depression you should know that you are not alone. Other women have had {#blank#}9{#/blank#} same experiences. They have lived to have happy and healthy lives. If you are a husband, friend, or family member of a new mother, you should know that you can help! You can support the new mother. You can share the information {#blank#}10{#/blank#} her. You can help her find hope.
