Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅
社). The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 a night, and for

affordable, and it’s got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy. As an added bonus,
it’s close to the main train station.

After university in 2011, Samuel went to a rural primary school for native children,
where, on his first day, another teacher told him, "Samuel, you don't have to do much,
they're just Orang Asli-native children." This was what Samuel would spend years
fighting against.
The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty, melting into society, and
losing their own identity and culture due to others' disregard(漠视，不尊重) of it.
Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on the
part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was
thought that whatever was taught would make no difference, so nobody bothered to
try. The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas (污名), often doubting
what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes, and little effort was made
to create an appropriate learning environment. Consequently, the school was one of
the worst-performing in the district.
Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture, leading him to
see their potential. However, he also came to see that they did not have equal
opportunities compared to urban schools, due to the lack of facilities. So he set up a
crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with
tablets and computers. The Orang Asli children now learn technology, experience
English and communicate in English with volunteers all over Malaysia and overseas.
Consequently, the students have improved in national standardized examinations,
from a pass rate of 30% in English (2008-2012) to an average of 80% (2013-2017).
These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children are considered capable of
academically.
4．What did the teacher's words suggest about the native children?
A．They were hopeless. B．They were intelligent.
C．They were unfriendly. D．They were independent.
5．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The change of native students.
B．The importance of learning English.
C．The improvement of native education.
D．Samuel's work for the native kids.
6．What major problem did Samuel need to solve?
A．The poverty of local people.
B．The lack of facilities in his school.
C．The prejudice against the native kids.
D．The unsuitable teaching methods.
7．What can we learn from Samuel's story?
A．The academic performance comes first.
B．Respect makes a big difference.
C．Everyone deserves access to education.
D．One method can't apply to each situation.

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was
strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one
person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks
together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied
chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However,
when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't
have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined
Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards,
Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The
five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did
not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it
was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for
themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business.
They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family
members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the
