. we arent allowed to use the lift. i couldnt believe it.when we were walking up all the stairs i started talking to another boy who didnt know anyone. he said his family had moved from hong kong over the summer. he seemed really nice so we sat together when we got to our classroom, out of breath! he said his english was very poor but i thought it was really good.we spent all morning with mrs. black looking at our timetables. everyone in the school has a different timetablecan you believe it? half of the school is learning spanish as a second language and the other half learns french. im in the spanish group, which sounds like fun. im worried that ill forget my timetable and go to the wrong room! how will anyone help me if nobody else has the same timetable as me?lunchtime was ok. after lunch we started lessons. i had maths, which was complicated and difficult and then history, where we started to learn about ancient greece. that looks interesting. i have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient greek people lived.so far so good. im quite looking forward to tomorrow, even though ive got science. i hate science!jason51. how did the author feel on the first day at his new school?

see if you can get an old box and start collecting hats, shoes and clothes now! then, when your friends come over after school, you can play dress-up. see if you can make yourself into a doctor, or a cowboy, or even a spaceman! use glitter paint and old material to decorate the clothes the way you like them.if you are really clever, you could even put on a show for your family! let your imagination run wild! want to learn new things after school? want to make new friends who arent in your class? you can get both of them in clubs. in other countries schools, there are usually all kinds of clubs for kids to join. there is french club, student government, theatre, choir (合唱队) and photography club.take photography club as an example. one may learn all the necessary skills about taking photos. for example, you will learn how to choose a camera, how to use the light and how to develop pictures. sounds cool, right?but thats not all. one can also make a lot of friends in clubs. its always good to enjoy your spare time with friends, isnt it?54. what is the best title for ? a. start a clubb. learn a club c. an important clubd. a photography club55. from the first paragraph we know _. a. foreign kids dont like watching tvb. chinese kids like playing football with foreign kidsc. playing football is not popular with foreign kidsd. foreign kids have some different ways to spend their free time56. when you join a photography club, you cannot _. a. enjoy your free time b. get a camera for free c. make some new friendsd. learn to take pictures57. the text mainly talks about _. a. how to take a good pictureb. how to join a photography club c. after-class activities in foreign countriesd. putting on a show in foreign schoolscliving abroad to study can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far away from home? to make the experience truly worthwhile, there has to be a goal behind the decision to study abroad. this may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign language environment, or a clever move in your career development. you must also consider the costs, not just of living and studying abroad, but of applying. most universities now charge application fees for international students.if after considering these points you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad, your next step is to choose the right programme of studies. research your choices and select carefully. you must do your homework well. most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details. you can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites. but read carefully. different universities emphasize different strengths. dont just think about the universitys reputation (名声); look for the most suitable for your goals. next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. this involves filling in application form, preparing your school records, and getting reference letters. reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance. sadly, many fine applicants get kicked out in the first round, simply because they dont follow the application procedure properly.money is another important consideration. some scholarships are provided by governments, others by schools and colleges. this information, again, can be found on the internet. if you find a scholarship that is suitable for you, follow the application procedure carefully; the earlier you apply, the better your chance of getting it.58. according to the article, studying abroad is truly worthwhile because _. a. it is an interesting experience b. it is fun to travel around the world c. it is an opportunity to develop your careerd. all your friends are doing so59. a school ranking list tells you _. a. how much the courses costb. the names of all the professors c. how good the school is compared to othersd. where the school is located60. what are the three basic steps when you apply? a. buy an airplane ticket, read the instructions and requirements, and study. b. prepare reference letters, prepare school records, and fill in the application form. c. prepare school records, do paperwork, and work hard. d. write a reference letter, do paperwork, and study.61. the underlined phrase “get kicked out in the first round” in paragraph 3 means _. a. fail to get to the next roundb. lose money in the first round c. get acceptedin the next roundd. get kicked by a professordhave you ever had travel problems because your airplane was late? it is a common problem and it is getting worse. airport delays make people angry and cost the country billions in lost work time.the federal aviation administration (faa) is the government agency that oversees air travel. they studied the problem of airline delays.they found eleven major problems and suggested eleven ways to fix them. some of the problems are caused because different regions of the country do things differently. the regions dont talk to each other enough. some of them need new computers.also, more planes are flying. a strong economy has more people using airplanes to get around. airplanes are a form of mass transportation now, like trains and buses were in the past. more planes in the airport cause delays.the airport in san francisco is a good example. it is growing fast. many people go through san francisco to get to other places around the world. ron wilson of the san francisco international airport says, “if youve got 18 flights that all want to take off at 8:00 am and youre on the 18th plane in line, youre going to be 40 minutes late.”weather is another main reason for delays. weather causes about 70% of delays. fog or freezing rain can cause delays.the first thing the faa wants to do is take control away from the regions during heavy traffic times and bad weather. a national center would make decisions on things that affect the whole country. the faa also wants to put more distance between planes in the sky when the weather is bad. this rule could cause even more delays.the faa knows that their solutions will not solve the problems with airport delays. but, they hope to make things better. there are just too many planes, too few traffic controllers, and not enough new technology.62. faa found that some of the delay problems are caused by _ between two regions. a. different languagesb. technical misunderstanding c. misunderstanding of the rulesd. lack of communication63. which of the following is not mentioned as a reason for airline delays? a. a growing number of flights.b. bad weather. c. a growing population.d. lack of new technology.64. from the passage we can infer that _. a. faa is a na
