On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available—but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people—often rather frightening-looking people—and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.1.According to the passage one of the problems for pupilsentering secondary schools is that ________.A. they are taught by many different teachersB. they do not attend lessons in every subjectC. the teachers are not so friendly and helpfulD. the teachers give most attention to a few pupils2.In secondary schools every pupil having problems should________.A. know how to ask for helpB. go to ask any teacher he can findC. discuss his problem in classD. turn to his parents for help3.It can be inferred from the passage that the author is mainlyconcerned about ________.A. academic standardsB. the role of specialist teachersC. the training of the individual teachersD. the personal development of pupils4.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.

Standing alone at the Browns' party, Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward, establishing him clearly in her mind's eye. He was a thin man, forty-one years of age, with fair hair that was often untidy. In the seventeen years they'd been married he had changed very little; he was still nervous with other people, and smiled in the same embarrassed way, and his face was still almost boyish.She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any. She had, over the years, become neurotic (神经机能病的) about this fact and in the end, quite some time ago now, she had consulted a psychiatrist (精神病学家), Dr. Abbat, at Edward's pleading (恳求).In the Browns' rich drawing room, its walls and ceiling gleaming (发微光) with a metallic (金属般的) surface of imitation gold, Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband.In a moment he would be at the party, since they had agreed to meet there, although by now it was three-quarters of an hour later than the time he had promised.The Browns were people he knew in a business way, and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs. She had never met them before, which made it more difficult for her, having to wait about, not knowing a soul in the room.When she thought about it she felt hard done by, for although Edward was kind to her and always had been, it was far from considerate to be as late as this. Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach. She looked at her watch and sighed.6.Why did Anna feel awkward at the party?A. She came to the party too early.B. She was neglected by the host.C. She felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the party.D. She didn't know anyone there.7.What made Anna feel inadequate?A. She did not make a good mother to her children.B. She was unable to satisfy her husband's desire to havechildren.C. She did not get along well with her husband.D. She was unable to have a better understanding of herhusband.8.As time went by, Anna started to get angry as ________.A. she found the Browns were much wealthier than they wereB. her husband was usually more thoughtfulC. she noticed that no one was willing to talk to herD. her husband was bad-mannered in the party9.According to the passage, Edward wanted Anna to attend theparty because ________.A. he wanted her to have more of a social lifeB. he tried to distract her from some unpleasant thoughtsC. he needed her supportD. he thought she would impress the Browns10.What kind of woman Anna was according to the passage?A.
