GrammarBStudying abroad is an amazing experience, especially when you come to Australia as an overseas(外国的) high school student. You can have a lot of fun here, especially on holidays.There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one is obviously Christmas. Each year, the summer holidays at every high school last about two months from the beginning of December to February, which covers the Christmas time. Since it is a long holiday, most overseas students love to fly back to their home countries to spend the time with their families and friends, but a few students still stay in Australia during the holiday to get part-time jobs. It is quite easy to find a part-time job at Christmas. Students often take part in another major social activity. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine. The summer in Australia is from December to February, so going to the beach in December is very popular among Australians.Easter in March is another important holiday in the year. It actually combines(使联合)“Good Friday”and “Ester Monday”.Almost every shop closes on Good Friday. And people usually go to see Easter Show.The Chinese New year is not a public holiday in Australia, so every Chinese student still has to go to school to study and do his or her normal duties.( )66.

Its certainly great if you have a pocket full of money and can buy something in one. How wonderful to be able to come home with an expensive computer, a latest(最新的) iPod or a designer dress!But have you ever heard of“dollar stores”?As the name suggests, in dollar stores everything costs a dollar or less. You find them in the US and many other Western countries. In dollar stores there are thousands of kinds of things and everything is affordable(买得起).If you go into a clothers shop, you find clothes. If you go into a car showroom, you see cars. But in a dollar store who knows what you will find? Visiting a dollar store is like going on a treasure hunt. Therell be pots and pans for the kitchen, books, clothes, toys-and a thousand other things you never dreamed of! Theres always a surprise in a dollar store.Why are dollar stores so cheap? Its because theyre full of stock(库存) that hasnt sold in other stores: clothes that were last years fashion; books that wons sell; inventions for the kitchen that didnt catch on(流行). You may find you dont want these, either. But, even if you dont want to buy, they are great places to look around-rather like museums. And remember, nothing costs more than a dollar!( )71.

If so, here are some suggestions you need to know about audience manners.Most sporting arenas(赛场) have rules for audience which are written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you arrive. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and dont walk about when a game is being held. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other rubbish.During exciting games, try to control yourself. Dont criticize(批评) the performance of players and coaches. Be careful with your words, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.Applause is a special form of body language you can use to communicate(交流) with players. But you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them; dont go on for too long. After an excellent performance, applaud(鼓掌) warmly.Applause is not welcome, however, while a game is being held and the players need to focus all their attention. Different sports have different rules for the audience. Enjoying artistic gymnastics(艺术体操) requires silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. Using flash(闪光灯) to take photos is quite disturbing to tennis players. Mobile phones can not be used in shooting centers.To be a good spectator(观众), you should take time to learn the game-related rules and audience manners of each event.( )74.

Every evening the bank writes off(注销) the balance that you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Take out every cent, of course!Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it puts in 86,400 seconds. Every evening it writes off, as it is lost. There is no balance or overdraft(透支). If you fail to use the days savings, the lost is yours. There is no going back. There is no taking from“tomorrow”. You must make good use of it so as to get more in health, happiness and success!The clock is running. Make the most of today. To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade; To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature(早产) baby; To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a wekly newspaper; To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet; To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train; To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided(避免) an accident.Make good use of every moment that you have.
