Au To: (happylizijun) yahoo. . cn Subject: My school Hi, Li Zijun, Thanks very much for your email. I really enjoyed reading it. I think we have a lot in mon. I wonder if our school life is similar too. I go to a big high school in Sydney called Maylands High School. There are about 1000 students and 80 teachers. My class has 25 students in it, which is normal for a Year 11 class. In the junior school there are about 30 students in a class. In the senior high school we have lots of subjects to choose from, like maths, physics, chemistry, biology, history, German, law, geography, software design, graphic arts and media studies. (Different schools sometime have different optional subjects.) English is a must for everyone and we have to do least three other subjects in Year 11 and 12. At the end of Year 12 we sit for a public exam called the High School Certificate. As well as school subjects, most of us do other activities at school such as playing a sport, singing in the choir or playing in the school band. We can also belong to clubs, such as the drama club, the chess club and the debating society. We have a lot of homework to do in senior school to prepare for our exam, so unless I have basketball practice, I usually go straight home and start studying. I arrive home about 4 pm, make myself a snack and work till 6 pm. Then I help the family to make dinner and we all eat together. Im usually back in my room studying by 8 pm. I stop at about 10 oclock and watch TV or read a book for half an hour to relax. On Saturdays, I usually go out with my family or with friends and I sleep in till late on Sunday morning. Then its back to the books on Sunday afternoon. How about you? Whats your school life like? Do you have a lot of homework? What do you do to relax when youre not studying? Im looking forward to finding out.Your Australian friend,Terrie21.How many subjects do the students have to do at least in Year 11 and 12?A.11 B.3. C.4.

Her words still hurt:“The trouble with you is that you wont put yourself in my place. Cant you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly and felt the ache in my tooth. Id thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally,at about lunchtime, I got lucky. “If you e by right now,” the receptionist said,“the dentist will fit you in.” I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist.What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasnt he as busy as the others? In the dentists office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one. When I told her my fears,she laughed and said,“Dont worry. The dentist is very good.” “How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently. “e on,he is ing.Just lie down and relax.And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said. “The artwork?” I was puzzled. The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it:on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words. What a relief!27.Which of the following best describes the authors feeling that morning? A.Cheerful. B.Nervous. C.Satisfied.

B.Because she saw a picture on the ceiling. C.Because she could relax in the chair. D.Because the assistant kept forting her.30.What did the author learn from her experience most probably?

D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.DChildren start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your childrens curiosity(好奇). Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary(薪水) and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that were finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?” After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical(符合逻辑的), plete and creative answers. Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, dont jump in with “Thats right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it es to encouraging good behavior(行为). But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying “Thats interesting” or “Id never thought of it that way before”, or ing up with more questions or ideas. Never push a child to “Think”. It doesnt make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target(目标) for your disagreement. Lastly, show; dont tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜), and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water vaporates(蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.31.According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _. A.let them see the world around B.share the childrens curiosity C.explain difficult phrases about science D.supply the children with lab equipment?32.In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “lists” could best be replaced by _. A.any questions B.any problems C.questions from textbooks D.any number of questions33. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, plete and creative way if adults _. A.ask them to answer quickly B.wait for one or two seconds after a question C.tell them to answer the next day D.wait at least for three seconds after a question34. In which of the following paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion? A.The second and third. B.The fourth and fifth. C.The fifth and sixth. D.The seventh.35.The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their childrens curiosity except that adults should _. A.tell their children stories instead of reciting facts B.offer their children chances to see things for themselves C.be patient enough when their children answer questions D.encourage their children to ask questions of their own第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.
