Nearly half of elementary and high schools in the US use the Presidential Fitness Test. It checks kids’ fitness levels. Students are tested at least twice a year. In 1956, US President Eisenhower created the test, and it has been a tradition in schools since 1966.
There are five activities in the test: sit-ups(仰卧起坐), push-ups(俯卧撑), sit and reach, endurance run(耐力跑) or walk and shuttle run(折返跑). Students who get scores at or above 85 percent on all the activities can get a Presidential Physical Fitness Award.
The test encourages students to live a healthy and active life. Students taking the test are really testing their limits, according to the US National Association for Sport and Physical Education.
China has a similar test: the physical education(PE) test. Beginning at the age of 7, students in China are tested twice a year to check if they are healthy and strong. They also finish activities like the endurance run, sit-ups and the shuttle run.
However, unlike students in the US who get awards, Chinese students get points in PE tests. The highest score is 100.For junior school students, the PE test is more important because it is 30 to 40 points in the entrance exam for senior high school.In order to get a good score, most students begin to prepare for the test in their junior one year.

Dear Linda,
“The only constant (不变的) in life is change.” Have you heard about it before? It means that life is always changing and bringing us new challenges.
________I’ve experienced it many times throughout my life. New teachers, new coworkers…it can be difficult to deal with sometimes. And not all change is good. It can be frustrating (令人沮丧的) to get used to new situations.
However, I do have some suggestions. First, you can talk with your teacher after class and discuss your problem. Do make sure to be polite when you do this – it’s not necessarily your teacher’s fault that you’re having difficulty with her methods. Try to find some common ground. Good teachers will do their best to make sure that all of the students in their classes can benefit (从……受益) from their teaching.

Dear Linda,
You should know that studying English is important for your future, but not for your teacher. Try to talk to your teacher. If they can’t help you, I’m afraid you will have to solve the problem by yourself.
I assume (假定) that this teacher is not the only English teacher in your school. You could ask other English teachers some questions during your breaks. You also can learn English outside of school, such as by taking an online English course. You can surely find a suitable teacher for yourself.
All in all, if you don’t want to give up studying English, then you’d better work hard on it, no matter who teaches you. It’s always a good idea to be optimistic (积极的) about any situation you’re in.
