Teaching methods keep changing with the times,................... the blackboard of the old days ........... electronic teaching today. Mr. Kam, physics instructor
the Chinese University of Hong Kong, is one of
those who has changed ......... the times.
Mr. Kam employs a two-pronged approach. First, he
uses multimedia teaching materials during lectures.
Second, he arranges internships for undergraduates.
These can take the form of learning assistantships at
the university or teaching assistantships at secondary
schools, and also there’s always the odd science project at the Space Museum.
The initiatives have earned him the Faculty Exemplary
Teaching Award 2020. A CUHK alumnus, he is grateful
for the chance to teach at the university after earning
his doctoral degree there. His teaching position actually represents the fulfillment of a dream, for the status
of professors during his days as a university student
was extremely high and he could meet them only during lectures.
After being a teacher for 10 years, Mr. Kam has found
no apparent regression in the learning abilities of students, but he believes teachers should not just force
knowledge on students - they have to pay careful
attention to their needs too.
The multimedia materials that Mr. Kam uses to illustrate his area of interest includes animation and
video clips. He encourages students to read popular
astronomy magazines and share any note-worthy
content they find. Mr. Kam also gets his undergraduates to help prepare students sitting for physics
papers in public exams or to help out on research
projects undertaken by meteorological officers at the
observatory.
He also arranges for his undergraduates to teach students from other faculties during physics liberal studies classes through talks and star-gazing expeditions.
Such responsibilities serve two greater purposes.
First, undergraduates become even more motivated
to learn when they find out they have to guide other
students. Second, physics students are, unlike arts students, not at their best when called upon to express
themselves. Acting as assistants allows them to practice their skills and build up their self- confidence.
I asked Mr. Kam what he found most satisfying in
teaching.
And the answer is obvious. It is the deep friendship he
forms with students. Mr. Kam says many former students still come back to see him occasionally despite
being busy parents. He draws considerable satisfaction from seeing his students grow into mature adults.
For Mr. Kam, the best teachers will never find extracurricular activity a burden because the good work that is
done today plants the seed for future generations.
According to the text, which of the alternatives
below is correct?

Reading is an ability that has great importance
in learning, and this is due to the fact that reading is
definitely part of our daily activity, but, most importantly, reading is one of the skills that students have to
learn both in English as a foreign language and in their
native language. In order to read with comprehension,
developing readers must be able to read with some
proficiency and then receive explicit instruction in
reading comprehension strategies.

Read the excerpt below:
"While the origins of Maya culture remain murky, it's thought to have first emerged between 7000 B.C. and 2000 B.C., when hunter-gatherers abandoned their nomadic habits and created more permanent settlements. Recent analyses suggest that those first settlers came from South America and likely developed their staple food, maize, by 4000 B.C. Maize cultivation dramatically changed the Maya's trajectory, literally fueling the explosion of their society and culture."

Seventeen of 34 types of cancer have become more
common in younger generations in the United States, the
broadest study of its kind to date has found. The analysis,
published in August 2024 in The Lancet Public Health,
examined data from 23.7 million people born between 1920
and 1990 and diagnosed with cancer between 2000 and 2019.
It found, for example, that people born in 1990 were 2.6 to 3.6
times more likely to develop cancers of the small intestine,
kidney, and pancreas than those born in 1955, and 2.6 times
more likely to develop endometrial cancer than someone born
in 1930. The findings suggest people are increasingly being
exposed to carcinogens during early life or young adulthood.
However, younger birth cohorts were at the same or lower risk
of death from most types of cancer than older ones.

In a study of more than 100,000 people, researchers found
that those with less healthy lifestyles were more likely to reduce
their risk of colorectal cancer with regular aspirin use than those
with healthier behaviors (JAMA Oncol 2024 Aug 1). Regular
aspirin use was defined as two or more 325 mg tablets
a week or a daily 81 mg dose; less healthy lifestyles were
characterized by higher body mass index, smoking, greater
alcohol consumption, less physical activity, and poorer diet.
Those with the unhealthiest lifestyles had a 3.4% chance
of developing colorectal cancer if they didn’t take aspirin
regularly, whereas those who did had a 2.1% chance of
developing the disease. In contrast, people with the healthiest
lifestyles had a 1.5% chance of developing colorectal cancer
if they took aspirin regularly and a 1.6% chance if they didn’t.
This result suggests that physicians can pursue a nuanced
approach when prescribing aspirin for disease prevention.

YOUNG MINDS Number of children facing mental
health crisis soars 53% in 4 years − 16 signs your
child is at risk
Some 32,521 under-18s were referred for emergency
care at mental health services in 2022 to 2023, up from
21,242 in 2019 to 2020.
Doctors at the Royal College of Psychiatrists said the
shocking numbers "cannot become the new norm".
The college said many of these under-18s have suffered
worsening mental health while on NHS waiting lists for
treatment.
Dr Elaine Lockhart, chair of the college's child and
adolescent faculty, said: "It's unacceptable that so many
children and young people are reaching crisis point
before they are able to access care.
"Severe mental illness is not just an adult problem. The
need for specialist mental health services for children and
young people is growing all the time.
"The evidence shows us that children who receive
support quickly are less likely to develop long-term
conditions, that negatively affect their education, social
development and health in later life.
"Government and integrated care boards must commit to
reducing the rate of mental illness among children by
setting an achievable target.
"This needs to be backed by an expansion of the mental
health workforce and additional funding for services.
"Investing in children's mental health will ultimately free
up NHS time and resources, while ensuring the country
has a healthy and productive population in the years to
come."
The college said around half of mental health conditions
arise before the age of 14 and three-quarters before the
age of 24.
Data shows under-18s who are waiting for follow-up after
a GP referral for mental health problems have already
waited on average five months and, in the worst case,
almost two years.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists said last year's
Government announcement of an extra £5million to
improve access to existing early support hubs was
welcome.
But it said it predicts an extra £125 to £205million is
needed to establish hubs in every local authority, with
running costs of at least £114m per year.
It comes as the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child
Health (RCPCH) published a statement outlining the
"changing role" for paediatricians in being involved in
identifying and helping children with poor mental health.
RCPCH officer for mental health Dr Karen Street said:
"The entire children's workforce has a role to play in
tackling the current crisis in children's mental health but
as paediatricians we are particularly well placed to make
a difference.
"Research shows paediatricians are the most trusted
profession for secondary school children, across all
ethnicities and backgrounds and that children see
doctors as a key group to support their mental health.
"We know that paediatric settings and emergency
departments are not ideal for children and young people
experiencing a crisis in their mental health, but they
cannot be left without support.
"If we are ever to get out of this dire situation then we
need meaningful support for health services and staff, as
well as child focused polices that can improve the
physical, emotional, social and educational wellbeing of
young people.
"The responsibility to tackle this growing mental health
emergency cannot be left to healthcare professionals
alone."
Liberal Democrat health and social care spokesperson
Daisy Cooper said: "This devastating explosion of mental
ill health among children should be a wake-up call for the
government.
"Conservative ministers have neglected children's mental
health during and after the pandemic, leaving mental
health services and families in crisis.
"We have seen a litany of broken promises from this
government including the failure to deliver maximum
waiting times for children, ending out of area placements
or reforming the Mental Health Act."

What underlying issue does the Royal College of Psychiatrists highlight as a contributor to the worsening
mental health among under-18s waiting for treatment?

"The entire children's workforce has a role to play in
tackling the current crisis in children's mental health but
as paediatricians we are particularly well placed to make
a difference.
"Research shows paediatricians are the most trusted
profession for secondary school children, across all
ethnicities and backgrounds and that children see
doctors as a key group to support their mental health.
"We know that paediatric settings and emergency
departments are not ideal for children and young people
experiencing a crisis in their mental health, but they
cannot be left without support.
"If we are ever to get out of this dire situation then we
need meaningful support for health services and staff, as
well as child focused polices that can improve the
physical, emotional, social and educational wellbeing of
young people.
"The responsibility to tackle this growing mental health
emergency cannot be left to healthcare professionals
alone."
Liberal Democrat health and social care spokesperson
Daisy Cooper said: "This devastating explosion of mental
ill health among children should be a wake-up call for the
government.
"Conservative ministers have neglected children's mental
health during and after the pandemic, leaving mental
health services and families in crisis.
"We have seen a litany of broken promises from this
government including the failure to deliver maximum
waiting times for children, ending out of area placements
or reforming the Mental Health Act."

YOUNG MINDS Number of children facing mental
health crisis soars 53% in 4 years − 16 signs your
child is at risk
Some 32,521 under-18s were referred for emergency
care at mental health services in 2022 to 2023, up from
21,242 in 2019 to 2020.
Doctors at the Royal College of Psychiatrists said the
shocking numbers "cannot become the new norm".
The college said many of these under-18s have suffered
worsening mental health while on NHS waiting lists for
treatment.
Dr Elaine Lockhart, chair of the college's child and
adolescent faculty, said: "It's unacceptable that so many
children and young people are reaching crisis point
before they are able to access care.
"Severe mental illness is not just an adult problem. The
need for specialist mental health services for children and
young people is growing all the time.
"The evidence shows us that children who receive
support quickly are less likely to develop long-term
conditions, that negatively affect their education, social
development and health in later life.
"Government and integrated care boards must commit to
reducing the rate of mental illness among children by
setting an achievable target.
"This needs to be backed by an expansion of the mental
health workforce and additional funding for services.
"Investing in children's mental health will ultimately free
up NHS time and resources, while ensuring the country
has a healthy and productive population in the years to
come."
The college said around half of mental health conditions
arise before the age of 14 and three-quarters before the
age of 24.
Data shows under-18s who are waiting for follow-up after
a GP referral for mental health problems have already
waited on average five months and, in the worst case,
almost two years.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists said last year's
Government announcement of an extra £5million to
improve access to existing early support hubs was
welcome.
But it said it predicts an extra £125 to £205million is
needed to establish hubs in every local authority, with
running costs of at least £114m per year.
It comes as the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child
Health (RCPCH) published a statement outlining the
"changing role" for paediatricians in being involved in
identifying and helping children with poor mental health.
RCPCH officer for mental health Dr Karen Street said:
"The entire children's workforce has a role to play in
tackling the current crisis in children's mental health but
