When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan (租赁) than buy them. Students must pay back if they lose any of them.American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state drivers exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design and other classes. In some schools students have to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students go for after-school activities, including sports, especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, and photography and student government.44.

So are police officers Hankins and Pearson. These men and women dont look like giraffes. They look like you and me. Then, why do people call them giraffes? A giraffe, they say, is an animal that sticks its neck out, can see places far away and has a large heart. Itlives a quiet life and moves about in an easy and beautiful way. In the same way, a giraffe can be a person who likes to stick his or her neck out for other people, always watches for future happenings, has a warm heart for people around, and at the same time lives a quiet and beautiful life himself or herself. The Giraffe Project is a 10-year-old group which finds and honors giraffes in the US and in the world. The group wants to teach people to do something to build a better world. The group members believe that a person shouldnt draw his or her head back. Instead, they tell people to stick their necks out and help others. Claude and Louris, Hankins and Pearson are only a few of the nearly l000 giraffes that the group found and honored. Claude and Louris were getting old and they left their work with some money that they saved for future use. One day, however, they saw a homeless man looking for a place to keep warm and they decidedthat they should stick their necks out and give him some help. Today, they lived in Friends House, where they invite twelve homeless people to stay every night. Police officers Hankins and Pearson work in a large city. They see crimes (犯罪) every day and their work issometimes dangerous. They work hard for their money. However, these two men put their savings together and even borrowed money to start an educational center to teach young people in a poor part of the city. Hankins and Pearson are certainly giraffes.48. “The Giraffe Project” is a group _.A. of police officersB. which appeared ten years agoC. of ten-year-old childrenD. which takes care of children49.

As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are nauseating(令人作呕的).When the famous boxer Muhammad Ali visited Africa, for example, one member of his group became quite sick when he saw someone pick up a butterfly and eat it. Many people would find it terrible to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as appropriate (适合的) food.Food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat.But dislike is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo (禁忌). Some foods are taboo in certain religions, but there are also other food taboos that are not connected to a religion. We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture. We may not even know why they are taboo. Anthropologists(人类学家) try to discover the hidden reasons for taboos.Anthropologists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the ways of life of different people. Some people live in areas where there are both large animals and many insects. It is difficult for these people to kill large animals, and it requires a lot of energy. It is easier for them to use insects for food because it is not difficult to catch insects and it does not require a lot of energy.

Americans eat a lot of beef because there is plenty of land for raising cattle and the meat can be shipped cheaply for long distances by railroads.52.
