Frank, Aged 21I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day.You will probably love it.I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable.Good luck!Eddie, Aged 20When I started high school I was really nervous too,especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn't really know anyone.I suppose the best advice would be to just relax.The first couple of days can be a little bit hard,but things will become easier before you know it.David,Aged 19I'm not going to lie.The first day is kind of frightening (令人恐惧的).But you'll get used to it.Don't be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you're afraid.Just take it easy.Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly.After the first week it's really not bad at all.Don't worry.1.What can we infer from Sharon about high school ? ________A.Teachers are quite strict.B.Students often stay up at night.C.Teachers provide little care for students.D.Students should make good use of their time.2.How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school ? ________A.

Eddie.BWhen high school student Katie Shipley was bom with a serious brain disease,doctors said she wouldn't live to go to school.Now,Katie is not only about to graduate from Southridge High School in Oregon,but she was also named the schooFs prom (高中毕业舞会)queen.Knowing Katie's wishes for prom queen,her friend Courtney Travis began reaching out to find her the prom king she needed to make her a queen.Courtney found Michael Parks,who also thought it was a great idea."I really got to know Shipley," said Michael. "When you take the time to get to know other people,it really gives you a great chance to live for more than yourself."Courtney took a picture of the couple together and put it on her Twitter,explaining their plans for the prom. "It became very popular in the school/1 she said.Their efforts paid off,and Katie was very excited to be named prom queen.On the day of the prom,Katie wore a very beautiful dress.Her grandmother,Joan Fraley,who also went to the prom,said the night will stay with her always.n I was standing there and the children were shouting her name," she said. "They called her name as the new prom queen -1 started crying.I'm greatly thankful to the students of Southridge High School.”Katie repeated that feeling.U I just want to say thank you to my friends for all they did for me.I love you all.'1Todd Corsetti,the principal (校长)at Southridge High School said that seeing Katie as prom queen and the energy and help of his students is one of his "proudest moments."U I think teenagers have great hearts and are really looking to make the world a better place," Todd said. u As we finish our school year,it's a great legacy (遗产)to leave the other classes who come after them."4.When Katie was born,she _______ .A.nearly died in hospitalB.wasn't expected to live longC.wasn't supposed to finish high schoolD.caught a disease caused by doctors' mistakes5.Hearing about Katie's story,Michael _______ .A.turned to his friends for helpB.began to raise money for KatieC.decided to live for others rather than himselfD.was very happy to help Katie realize her dream6.Why did Fraley cry at the prom? ________A.She felt sorry for Katie.B.She thought of Katie's hard life.C.She was invited to Katie*s graduation.D.She was moved by what others did for Katie.7.What is Todd's opinion on the students? ________A.They are the kindest teens.B.They are the hope of the world.C.They set a good example to others.D.They can do much better in the future.cIt's true that many dads in the wild aren*t interested in parenting,but there are some that work pretty hard to give their little ones a good start.Maybe one of these dads will make you rememberyour own dad!The male giant water bug (雄性负子蜻)doesn f t seem to mind a heavy load (负荷物)on his back for his kids.The female puts about 100 to 150 eggs on the back of the male,and then she leaves.Once the female is gone,the male has to look after the eggs.It usually takes one to two weeks for the eggs to hatch (孵化).The father giant water bug jumps around to make sure the growing eggs get enough air and water.All this time he can't fly because of the weight of the eggs growing rapidly on his back.Now let's turn to the male stickleback fish.When the mother leaves after laying her eggs,the father tends his young.If the young fish go too far away,their father helps with their safe return by carrying them back in his mouth.The male stickleback looks after all his young - as many as 100 - until they can live on their own.A similar example can be found in emperor penguins (帝企鹅)living in cold areas.The male emperor penguin goes without food while looking after his egg until it hatches.For about 62 to 67 days,the egg stays on top of the father's feet,in very cold temperatures that drop down to-39°C.As a result,the father may lose nearly 50 percent of his body weight while waiting for his baby penguin to be born!8.What do we know about the giant water bug? _________A.It is unable to fly.B.The eggs grow on the father's back.C.The male must keep still to hatch the eggs.D.The female looks after her eggs together with the male.9.What does the underlined word "tends” in Paragraph 3 mean? _________A.Waits for.B.

Along with three hundred other children and adults,she heads into the one-mile run,followed by a four-and-a-half-mile bike ride.The triathlon is being held in Glendale,Arizona,and the temperature is freezing on the late-October morning.But seeing her father's warm smile makes Emily forget about the cold. Emily feels lucky to have her father here today.Three years ago,doctors discovered that he had skin cancer.Histreatments made him feel tired and sick,but he believed he was going to get better.Emily says, "Courage is something that all people have inside,and they use it to make the world a brave and happy place.My dad showed great courage when he got cancer.'1 Emily asked a lot of questions about her father's illness.Her mom says/We had a familydiscussion and gave her all the facts.We talked about what cancer is and how money is raised 第4页,共18页for aid (援助)and research.'*Emily made a promise to herself and to her family that she would compete in the triathlon to raise money to help cancer patients.She trained hard for three months,swimming,running and biking several times a week.She then sent out 150 letters asking for donations (捐贝曾).Her dad matched the money,and Emily gave $ 7, 000 to the American Cancer Society.Emily says she was nervous on the day of the race.

On the one hand, it’s true that many Americans have cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant (方便的) dinners. From busy homemakers to working people, many Americans enjoy the convenience (方便) of fast food that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Amer1cansrealize the importance of cooking skills. Parents—e specially mothers’—see the importance of training their children- especially daughter s. Most Americans think that there’s nothing better than a good home-cooked meal. But with cooking, as with any other skill, good results don’t happen by accident.Probably every cook has his or her own way of cooking. But there are some basic skills that most people follow. For example, baking is a main method (方法) of preparing food in America. For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven. American cooks pay special attention to the balance of foods, too. In planning a big meal they try to include meat, a few vegetables, some bread and often a dessert. They also like to make sure the meal is colorful. Having several different colors of food on the plate usually makes for a healthy meal.For those who need guidance in their cooking, or for those who have just run out of ideas, recipes are a great help. Recipes list all the ingredients for a dish (generally in the order used), the amount of each to use, and a description of how to put them together.28. This passage mainly tells us that .A.

There are a bunch of items on your shopping lists ranging from small gifts, toys and festive decorations to Christmas and New Year cards. What’s your first react ion to products labeled “Made in China”? If you still tend to relate “Made in China”to poor quality. you need to update your ideas. China’s ability to produce high-quality product s h as been recognized by a growing number of foreigners. It ‘s a misunderstanding to associate low quality with“Made in China”.Cameron Purdy, a Web user, says that China manufactures poor-quality products does not mean it cannot manufacture high-quality product s. He explains that the poor-quality products one purchases in the US for example, are made in the quality that the American companies ask for. “The price that you pay for the product has no relationship to the cost of its manufacturing,” suggested Purdy. For example, for an item priced at $20 in the US, the cost of manufacturing it paid by the American company is usually less than $1. To guarantee the room for profit, the Chinese co-manufacturer spends less than $1to produce the item.Amanda Wu, who lives in Shanghai, noted that many t P bra ids have manufacturing factories located in China, and the most convincing exampleof China’s manufacturing quality is Apple products. On the back of the iPhone, one can find the product is Made in China—“Designed by Apple in California. Assembled (装备) in Chin a. ”Chinese and foreign Web users commented that some Chinese pro ducts with good reputations around the world are Haier, Lenovo, GREE, Huawei and China Railway High-speed.On the other hand, foreign misunderstandings can sometimes affect Chinese people’s minds.
