At the end of every school year, NACA celebrates student learning and growth through Student Demonstrations. Each student chooses a project that reflects their best work and demonstrates it publicly for family and community members. Through this process students also practice the skills of giving a proper introduction, sharing content knowledge, making a personal connection, bettering their visual and oral presentation skills and interacting with their community.

Student Council is a group of peer-elected representatives. They serve as leaders of their grade level and promote NACA Core Values. They model positive relationships among each other and staff. Student Council will facilitate school wide events to foster school spirit.
☆ Potential Leaders Development Trip to Washington DC
Every summer, about thirty 8th grade students take part in a Potential Leaders Development. A trip to Washington DC is an important opportunity that promotes youth leadership for students while engaging them on a deeper academic level. It provides an experience-based understanding of the endless opportunities that higher education can provide and encourages the pursuit of academic success. Students who attend this trip are greatly impacted, long for completing their high school education in a more focused and determined manner and begin making plans for college.

22．（8分）Pollution’s serious effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years.Most scientists agree that efforts are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.
As we know,the construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution.So green buildings are in great need.
The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity（生物多样性）,improved air and water quality,less waste flowing into streams and the protection of natural resources.Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality,improving the health of people who live there.
The process of building green includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind.Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw.In addition,recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings,reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.
Careful site selection is important to minimize（最小化）human effect on the surrounding environment.For example,placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes（微风）and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses.More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings as well,so it is important to build small.
Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and cost.These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants,which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low,prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.
Other features of green buildings often include energy and water protection,recycling and waste reduction.In addition,renewable energy sources such as solar power,waterpower and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the influence on the environment.
1、What can we know about green building?
A．Producing no waste. B．Only using clean energy.
C．Being made of new materials. D．Environmental friendly.
2、What is a green building probably like according to the fifth paragraph?
A．Large. B．Small.
C．Green. D．Low.
3、What is the purpose of using green roofs?
A．To fit the environment. B．To keep warm.
C．To collect nature water. D．To lower costs.
4、What is the text mainly about?
A．Promoting energy efficiency. B．Environmental benefits.
C．Building green. D．Ecosystems and biodiversity.
（8分）Pushy parents and teachers who "hothouse" the under-5s risk causing damage to the children's long-term 23．
development, a leading education expert said.
Lilian Katz, Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, told that four-year-olds engaged in reading and writing went on to perform worse academically than those, engaged in imaginative learning. They scored higher in tests at the age of 5, but children whose first year at school was stimulating (使人兴奋的) outstripped them years later.
The findings suggest that the government's structured approach to early-years learning could be storing up problems for children. They also raise serious questions about the plan for all children to be able to read by the age of 6.
In many countries formal teaching does not start until children are 6 or 7 and have improved their social and manual skills. Children start learning to read and write at 6 in the United States,France and Germany,and at 7 in Finland and Sweden.
Professor Katz said that in many schools the courses were “boring children to tears”. Much academic teaching required I children to learn by memorizing pieces of information out of context,she said. Teaching in reception class should instead allow children to develop their intellect by exploring their environments and asking questions.
"Research suggests the benefits of formal academic instruction for four and five-year-olds seem to be promising when they are tested early, but considerably less so in the long term. When these children are followed over a period of three or more years, those who had early experience in more intellectually engaging curricula were more likely to do well in school than their peers, who had received early academic instruction." She advocates teaching children through first-hand experience a
nd play, in mixed-aged classes. This can include puppet shows,drawing or running a pretend shop in the classroom.
1、According to the passage,those who "hothouse" the under-5s would probably______.
A．prefer a lot of interaction and stimulation while teaching
B．teach in a lively way to motivate kids' interest
C．push the kids to memorize pieces of information
D．care about the kids' physical development
