combination of warm stories and photosbfor my grandmothers 70th birthday, my family and i visited south korea. while there, i was attentive to korean high schools and students.i was surprised by how different koreas public high schools are from americas. korean high schools can be all-girls, all-boys or co-ed (男女同校的）unlike our standard co-ed high schools. there are three grades: “go 1（10th) ”， “go 2” (1l th) and “go 3” (12th). “go”is the first syllable of the word “go-deung hakkyo”, which, simply translated, is “high school”.in america, unless you want to go to a private school, you dont have to take an entrance exam. in korea, however, students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools. another difference i couldnt help but notice was the students appearance. with very few exceptions, all wear uniforms. a name tag (标牌)with the students name, grade and homeroom number must also be worn. girls skirts cant be above the upper part of the knee, and it is forbidden to dye (染)your hair or wear accessories (装饰品)except small earrings. there are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness, and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style, socks and shoes.the final difference was the setup of the classes. there may be 40 students in a classroom, but the number can be less or even more, depending on the population of the town or city. although there are many students per classroom, they are very close, which i think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects. there are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms. they just have ten-minute breaks between subjects. in each class, students are ranked by their grades. this causes strict competition, and korean students do a lot of studying. to help them, all schools have extra study classes after school. one other fact that helped me appreciate living in america is that koreans have school on saturdays. although its only a half day, i think i speak for most americans when i say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a saturday.koreas public high schools are clearly different from americas. i had imagined them to be just like our schools, but now i have a clear picture of how different they are.59. how many main differences are mentioned between koreas public high school and americas?a. 3. b. 4. c. 5. d. 6.60. it seems that the writer _ .a. is familiar with the education system of high schools in koreab. is fond of korean students appearancec. prefers the high school life of america to the one of koread. feels it common to have lessons on weekends61. what does the underlined word setup in paragraph 5 probably mean?a. arrangement. b. size. c. number. d. outline.62. according to the rules, the students of korea can _ .a. go to different high schools without exams b. wear any clothes except uniforms at schoolc. attend different classes as they liked. have different hair stylesclast week, we explained that the planet mars has passed “opposition. ”it passed a point opposite the sun. this week, we tell about the planets surprising motion(运动)among the stars. for thousands of years, people have recognized that planets travel among the stars. the planets generally follow the path taken by the sun through the sky. the suns path is called the ecliptic. the groups of stars along the ecliptic are called the zodiac. the motion of the planets can be confusing at times. everyone knows the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. but this is caused by the turning motion of the earth. planets generally move from west to east. however, mars will appear to move backward for about two months this year. this happens because the earth is overtaking mars on its way around the sun. mars began its backward, or westward, motion on may 11th, it will start moving eastward again on july 19th. mars apparent motion has been a mystery to astronomers for hundreds of years. most early theories of the solar system argued that the sun and planets turned around the earth. but the sudden westward motion of mars presented a problem. why would mars move west for two months when it nears “opposition”?in 1543, a polish church worker named nicolas copernicus published a different theory. his theory said the earth and planets moved around the sun in perfectly circular orbits. copernicus theory was simpler. but his sun centered system still did not explain the observed motion of mars very well.finally, a german mathematician named johannes kepler published a complete theory of the motion of the planets in 1619. he had carefully studied the motion of mars for many years.johannes kepler discovered that the planets do not move in circular orbits around the sun. instead, they travel in flattened orbits called ellipses. mars elliptical orbit is the cause of its unusual brightening this year and its apparent large size.during the next several weeks, you can see for yourself why the mysterious motion of mars has caused so many people to wonder.63. from the passage we can learn that .a. the sun and planets generally travel westward b. kepler studied the orbit of the planets in 1619c. copernicus theory well explained the motion of marsd. the earths turning motion causes the sun to rise in the east64. on july 19th mars .a. will pass the “opposition”b. appears to change its direction againc. will begin to move westwardd. appears to change its orbit again65. why does mars appear to be bigger and brighter when it passes “opposition”?a. it is overtaking the earth.b. it follows the path of the sun.c. it moves in an elliptical orbit.d. it travels in a circular orbit.66. what is the best title for the passage?a. the recent research into mars b. the surprising motion of marsc. the great discovery on mars d. the wonderful mystery of marsdi have been passionate about sewing and fashion design since i was 12. two years ago, i designed
