Book II Unit 1 课后完形填空 CLOZE P18 1. Text-related Is there a contrast between learning styles in China and the West? While we should be careful to avoid exaggerating the differences, they do appear to exist. Note: You use while, before making a statement, in order to introduce information that partly conflicts with your statement.

Theme-related The real challenge to us teacher is combining the best of both worlds into one. [Note: combine the best of both worlds into one: 取两者的精华]Creativity and basic skills need to be considered in terms of being means to an end , rather than simply as ends in themselves . Some Chinese students may not perform well in hypothetical settings, but when it comes to facing real life challenges and issues ,they are more than competent in resolving most of them, equipped as they are with their strong skill .The U.S. system may be designed to aim more at producing top of the cream students（用蛋糕顶层的奶油来比喻学生群体中的顶级学生）, but that approach may do damage to the big bulk of the rest of the student body. （Not
