B

While teaching methods may be different and pupils spend a very long day in Chinese middle school, the facilities and equipment in some schools go ahead of those in many schools that I’ve seen elsewhere.

My experience is somewhat limited to city schools in major cities in Guangdong Province which are not necessarily representative of schools in the Chinese countryside or elsewhere in China.

I was impressed with the teacher’s desks in particular. Desks seemed to be designed for each type of classroom with built-in technology and wired to control the “environment” in the classroom. By this I mean projector controls, PC controls for pupil monitors, sound systems, electric screens rather than blackboards, etc. Many classrooms had microphone systems to enlarge the teachers’ voice as classes of 60 or more pupils were common. These classrooms were well equipped but there was limited room for books and bags as the desks were small and mostly in pairs.

There were a large number of well-equipped laboratories with their own preparation rooms and warehouses(仓库) for physics, chemistry and biology, etc. The chemistry and biology labs had air exchange systems at each position to remove harmful gases produced in experiments. The biology labs were extremely well equipped with jars of specimens(标本).

An interesting thing was the use of CCTV cameras(闭路电视监控) which were explained to be used during exams to monitor cheating.

The library had a wide selection of books and there was a special classroom, called the LA suite, which not only had a laboratory but also a “chatting” area for oral skills practice.

Overall I was really very impressed by the modern teaching equipment in those Chinese schools.

There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.

I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.

It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.

From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.

The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.

I looked forward to the return journey.

79. Where was the writer going?

A. Johore Baru.                   B. The Causeway.

C. Butterworth.                   D. Singapore.
