Little did they know they were going to be students for a new teaching method that is spreading the nation. I often use videos as previews and supplements (补充) to our art lessons providing students with a variety of artists showing their skills in real-life situations outside the classroom. Finding a new painting technique called glue batik(胶水蜡染), I thought of something new I hadnt tried before! How awesome would it be to learn a new technique together with artists? The lesson was planned, presented to the students without any introduction or set objectives. I also asked the students to watch and pause the video as often as they needed to. They watched as the artist explained and showed her skills, taking notes on her steps and results. After the video, they shared what they felt the artists objectives were, her end result using art vocabulary as well as the steps they would need to know to present their own examples. Then they began creating their works using the glue batik technique. Surfing the Internet a couple of weeks later, I found that the teaching method I used sounded very familiar to a new movement in education called flipped teaching, which was developed by Jonathan Bergmann. He asked his students to watch video lectures at home and do exercises (homework) in class under supervision (监督). He found that grades went up and he also found time for other types of activities, which Bergmann states are more important than the videos. Back to my art class, the students were learning to get ideas, make predictions, and explain reasoning to their classmates. Together they compared, asked questions and made discoveries as they presented the technique. 【文章大意】翻转教学正在全国推广开来, 在课堂上, 学生成了中心角色, 更增加了他们对学习的主动性。1.

More than 300 new words and phrases have recently made it into the online Oxford Dictionary, and in one way or another they are all reflections of todays changing world. After a year that was politically unstable, its not hard to understand the fact that peoples political views are one of the main drives of our expanding vocabulary. One example is “clicktivism”, a compound of “click” and “activism”. It refers to “armchair activists”people who support a political or social cause, but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone. And “otherize” is a verb for “other” that means to alienate (使疏远)people who are different from ourselveswhether that be different skin color, religious belief or sexuality. Lifestyle is also changing our language. For example, “fitspiration” a compound of fit and inspirationrefers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy. The phrase “climate refugee”someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate changereflects peoples concern for the environment. According to Stevenson, social media was the main source for the new expressions. “People feel much freer to coin their own words these days, ” he said. But still, not all newly-invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream (主流的) dictionary. If you want to create your own hit words, Angus Stevenson, Oxford Dictionaries head of content development, suggests that you should not only make sure that they are expressive (有表现力的) and meaningful, but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud. 【文章大意】本篇文章主要讲述了语言与社会生活的联系, 世界每天都在变化, 语言也在变化。越来越多有表现力的词语出现, 并给我们的生活带来一定的影响。4. Whats the purpose of the quotation from French writer Frantz Fanon? A. To serve as the
