    Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (total) different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid.

    The term “third—culture kid” {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (use) in the 1960s for the first time by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon while {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (research) North American children living in India. In general, third-culture kids benefit from{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they) intercultural experience and they often reach excellent academic results.

    Yet many {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (difficulty) may arise from this phenomenon. Third-culture kids may not be able to adapt themselves completely {#blank#}6{#/blank#} their new surroundings. Also, they often find it hard {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (develop) new friendship. Additionally, for a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new country {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to return to his homeland. For example, after living in Australia for many years, Louis finally returned to the country {#blank#}9{#/blank#} she was born.

    Quite a few students are afraid of examinations though they master {#blank#}4{#/blank#}they have learned very well. Sometimes the fear of examinations comes from pressure.

    People think pressure is good for students{#blank#}5{#/blank#}it can make the students{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(try) harder and make some school work more challenging. But too much pressure may even cause diseases {#blank#}7{#/blank#}will influence students' academic performance badly.

    No student succeeds {#blank#}8{#/blank#}hard work. If one spends little little{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(work) on their lessons every day, they can't expect {#blank#}10{#/blank#}good result at the end of the term. Developing study skills can get students to learn better and to pass examinations with ease if they understand the lessons and the work involved.

    Today, many historic {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（build） and monuments still stand, marking the passage of the Silk Road through hotels, ports and cities.

UK Schools Ban Students From Using Slang (俚语)

    Officials at Sheffield's Springs Academy has introduced a new policy to prevent students aged 11 to 18 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (use) slangs and colloquial abbreviations (口语化的缩写) inside the school. Harris Academy Upper Norwood said it carried out the program to allow its students {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (express) themselves confidently and appropriately. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} we want to make sure of is that they are confident in using standard English. Slang doesn't really give the right impression of the person. Young people going to interviews for their first job need to make a good impression {#blank#}4{#/blank#}employers will have confidence in them.

    Donna Bowater at the Telegraph writes that short forms of words {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (become) popular with the rise of text messages and the social networking website Twitter in the past few years.

    "In addition to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (give) students the teaching they need to succeed academically, we want them to develop the soft skills {#blank#}7{#/blank#} they will need to compete for jobs and university places," the school was quoted as saying in a statement by the BBC.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the above-mentioned support, South Yorkshire MP Angela Smith said that the policy might cause a risk to dialects (方言) and accents. Some critics argued that slangs provided students with an environment {#blank#}9{#/blank#} they could feel both the history and development of languages.

    The widespread argument is making people wonder {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it is necessary to cut the use of slangs entirely or not. All in all, different opinions of the policy help us have a deeper understanding of the truth that language is always changing with the times.
