Passage 2
The School Garden Project
Our class started a garden (15) on the empty ground behind the garage last season. Each group chose one plant and had to water it every morning before the first lesson, so we all got some fresh air. At first the work looked easy. (16) The ground was hard, and some plants died in the cold. Mr. Chen told us that nature does not follow our plan, and that a good gardener must wait. (17), we picked our first lemons in May. Everyone got an equal share, (18) the two students who had watered the plants every single day got one more.

EMAIL
A Question for Miss Chen
Dear Miss Chen,
I am writing about the science project that we must hand in next Monday. My group chose to study how plants grow in the dark, and we have watched our plants for three weeks. However, two of our plants died last Sunday, and we do not know the reason.
May we write about why they died and not show how tall they grew? We think this may be more useful for the class. If you do not agree, we will start again with new plants, but then we will need one more week.
Please tell me before Thursday so that our group can plan our weekend.

ARTICLE
Why We Still Need Teachers
Today a student can find almost any fact anywhere, on a phone, in a few seconds. Some people therefore guess that schools will soon close and that no one will need a teacher.
But a fact is not the same as an education. A machine can tell you the year of a war, yet it cannot see that you are afraid to speak, or notice that you have not eaten supper. A good teacher watches the person, not only the answer; that is the key to a real education, and no online course can do it alone.
Learning is also something we do together. In class we hear other students say things we never thought of, and we learn to listen even when we do not agree. That is a lesson no phone can deliver.
Questions 28–30
28What is the main idea of this article?
APhones give answers faster than teachers do
BSchools should stop using phones in class
CTeachers do things a machine cannot do
DStudents learn best when they study alone
29According to the writer, what can a teacher do that a machine cannot?
AGive the year of a war
BAnswer questions in a few seconds
CKeep a classroom quiet
DNotice how a student feels
30What does the writer say students learn from each other?
AHow to find facts quickly
BHow to speak louder than others
CHow to listen to different ideas
DHow to study without a teacher
