14、terview together with another girl. Both of them were outstanding, not only in looks but also in education. The girl was successful in the interview. It seemed that she would get the chance. At last the examiner asked her, “Can you come to the office next Monday?” Shocked by the unexpected question,
15、 the beautiful girl couldnt make a decision at the moment, so she said, “I have to talk with my parents before I give an answer. ” The examiner felt surprised but said calmly, “If so, let s wait till you are ready. ” The next day, the girl came to tell the examiner that her parents had agreed to let
16、 her begin work next Monday. But the examiner said regretfully (遗憾地), “Sorry, another suitable candidate (选手)has got the job. You had better try another place. ”The beautiful girl was surprised.

Answer the Examiners Question Quickly DWere you born on February 29th? February 29th comes up on the calendar only every four years. A
20、 year with a February 29th might be good news if you are paid by the day or the week. But it might be bad news if you were born on a February 29th. You have to wait three years in between birthdays!American English has an expression for the unusual situation. February 29th is called a leap day. And
21、the year with a February 29th in it is called a leap year. The year before last, 2020, was such a year.As a verb, the word “leap” means to jump, or to move quickly. “Leap” can also be a noun, meaning a jump, or a sudden move.In a leap year, the dates jump over one day of the week. Let me explain. In
22、 2017, the last day of the year, December 31st, fell on a Sunday. In 2018, it fell on a Monday. In 2019, it fell on a Tuesday. But in 2020, December 31st fell on a Thursday. It jumped right over Wednesday.The reason for a leap day or a leap year is because our calendar does not follow the Earths orb
23、it（轨道）around the sun exactly. Each year, we have a little time left over. So every four years, we put all that time together into an extra（额外的）day.Some people choose to marry on February 29th because it is an unusual date. But some ancient peoples would likely tell couples not to do it. Leap years w

26、n save more moneyB. its quite an unlucky dayC. its quite a special dateEIn July, China introduced the “double reduction (双减)” policy. It hopes to reduce schoolwork burden(负担)on primary and junior high school students. The policy calls for reducing homework and after-school classes. According to the
27、policy, children below the third grade will not have homework anymore. It should take no more than 90 minutes for junior high school students to finish their homework. After-school training institutions(校外培训机构)are not allowed to offer extra education courses or advanced(超前的)teaching on weekends, hol
28、idays or during winter and summer vacations. One month has passed since the new semester began. How do students feel about this new policy?“Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore. The exercises are mainly f
29、rom the textbook.” According to Shen, students have enough time to process new knowledge now. “Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments and learn from real life,” said Shen. “For example, we went to research earthworms(蚯蚓)in a field during a biology class. This is a much better
30、 way to learn things than just hitting the books.”For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. “We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have join
31、ed a group called “leadership development” where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond schoolwork,” said Zhang.Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think its not necessarily a good thing. “Exams push me to study harder. Each exam shows my progress as well as my weak points,”
32、 Zhang said.Shen also pointed out that when burden is lightened, self-discipline(自律) becomes the key. “Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind other students,” he said. 36. China introduced the “do
