But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.What to do In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They cant go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out time. So when its time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.What to wearNearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict._ In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat andanother meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad（沙拉）, other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.53. Which of the following is TRUE according to（根据） the passage? A.

Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, Happiness depends upon ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future -for example, getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.56. The best title(标题)of the passage is_. A. Money Makes You Happy B. The Secrets of Happiness C. Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy D. Good Friends Make You Happy57. The second paragraph tells us that_. A. the more friends you have, the happier you will be B. we shouldnt think about our future C. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. D. some people fail to live a happy life58. The passage gives us _pieces of advice on happiness. A. one B. two C. three D. four59. The writer thinks that_. A. everyone knows how to live a happier life B. its wrong to spend time on work C. hobbies take up too much time D. doing good things for someone can make you happier60.
