阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
A teacher from a Western country has recently visited a primary school in an eastern country. In one class, she watched sixty young children as they learned to draw a cat. The teacher drew a big circle on the blackboard, and the sixty students copied it on their paper. The teacher drew a smaller circle on the top of the first circle and then put another two even smaller circles on top of it. The children drew in the same way. The lesson went on until there were sixty-one similar cats in the classroom. Each student’s cat looked exactly like the one on the board.
The visiting teacher was greatly surprised because the teaching methods were very different from that in her own country. A children’s art lesson in her own country produced a roomful of different pictures. What makes this difference? In a classroom in any country, a teacher teaches not only knowledge of history or language.
In some countries such as the United States and Canada, people think highly of individualism – the differences between people. The teachers think it very important to make each student different from others. Students are asked to work by themselves and find answers themselves. The students are helped to learn to have their own ideas even at an early age.
But in countries such as China and Japan, people think highly of group goals rather than individualism. Students in China and Japan often work together and help each other in the classroom. The teachers teach and the students listen. The students are asked to memorize a lot. They have to learn the same textbook. They do the same homework and give the same answers.
Each educational system has its own advantages. For example, the Japanese students learn more maths and science than American students by the end of high school. The advantage of the educational system in America is that students learn to think by themselves. The teaching method makes them be more creative.
1.Are the young children learning to draw a dog?
2.How many students are there in the classroom?
3.Why was the visiting teacher greatly surprised?
4.What do people think highly of in the United States?
5.What does the writer want to tell us?

Expressions Using the Word “Sun”
Now it’s the time for the Learning English program “Words and Their Stories”.
In today’s program, we have expressions using the word “sun”.
The first expression is about everything, everything under the sun. If you own a store that sells many different things, your advertisements could say you sell everything under the sun. 1. .But advertising needs new and creative ideas.
Here is another example: Let’s say you are talking with a friend you have not seen for a long time. The two of you could have a lot to talk about. 2..
“Under the sun” is an old expression. 3. It means everywhere the sun shines. King Solomon used it in his poem. He wrote that nothing under the sun is new. If there is nothing new under the sun, there is nothing new anywhere. New or old, few things can be hidden in the bright light of the sun. 4. This law says that all government meetings must be open to the public. In some states, sunshine laws also say the government must allow the public to see government records. An important newspaper in the United States published a report about the value of sunshine laws. It told about how officials of a local government met secretly with a land developer to discuss using public land for a private entertainment center.
5. The newspaper report said, “It is often difficult to wake up people to their rights under the state sunshine laws.” It said the laws are called that because they shine sunlight on dark corners where secret deals can be made.
A. It is at least 3,000 years old
B. That leads to another expression: a sunshine law
C. This would not be exactly true, of course
D. The deal was stopped when it finally became publicly known
E. So, you talk about everything under the sun
