请阅读六个小标题，将其与下列五位同学对此问题的陈述进行匹配。其中有一项为多余选项。
What’s better for learning, hands-on projects or tests? 动手操作的项目 测试 A. Learning, not memorizing D. Better job preparation E. Better by the book
1. I think kids learn better by studying for tests. If you actually sit and study what you are supposed to learn, you’ll remember it. Hands-on projects might end up making a kid feel stressed if they are trying to finish on time, and If you are stressed, you might not learn as much. 2. When people study, they remember what was in the book. If they know they have a test, they will most likely to take notes on all the important information to help them with the test, so they will learn it better. 3. With a hands-on project, you can be creative while you learn. It's also a lot more fun than sitting at a desk with flashcards. Plus, with a hands-on project, you can learn more than you expected. It’s more satisfying to learn on your own without someone explaining it to you. 4. Hands-on projects are better. When you are studying for a test, it can get boring and then you can get distracted(注意力分散的). You learn better doing projects because it is not boring and you experience new things depending on what you are doing. 5. I think kids learn hands-on projects because they have to consider the topic, instead of just memorizing information that they'll forget about after the test. Also, completing a project is good for spending time with your friends or family. F. Creative learning B. Studying gets boring C. Less stress with tests

In students' daily talks, celebrities（名人）are usually a hot topic, including their dress, behavior, families and other personal things. Then, is it a celebrity's job（职责）to be a good role model? Please read the following students’ debate.
Is it a celebrity's job to be a good role model?
It's a celebrity's job to be a good role model because people usually look up to stars. If a celebrity drinks and smokes, his fans will follow him because they look up to the celebrity so much. If a celebrity's lifestyle is inappropriate for kids, then their parents should be more careful about what they let their kids see. I think everyone should try to be a god role model, even if you are not a celebrity! You can still be a role model to your sisters and brothers, a younger neighbor, or anyone. But I think celebrities should be very good, because they are role models for so many people.
A celebrity doesn't have to try to be a good role model. They are famous because they worked hard at what they love for a living. They should, however, try to make good choices for themselves, not their fans. Lots of stars have to post apology(道歉) letters after being caught doing bad things. It's good, but if the only reason they do is to win back their fans, it's not good. Although it is a wonderful thing to be a good role model, that's not what the celebrities must do. They are famous because they love what they do and are good at it. Being a role model is never in the job. If the celebrity knows they are affecting the young people, they should try hard to set a good example.
1. Which of the following reasons is NOT from the pros? A. People look up to the celebrities.
B. Everyone should try to be a good role model. C. Celebrities get much love and support from fans. 【答案】 C
