It is the capital city of Hebei Province. Today is my first day at Senior High school and Im writing down my thoughts about it.My new school is very good and I can see why. The teachers are very enthusiastic and friendly and the classrooms are amazing. Every room has a computer with a special screen, almost as big as a cinema screen. The teachers write on the computer, and their words appear on the screen behind them. The screens also show photographs, text and information from websites. Theyre brilliant!The English class is really interesting. The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms Shen. Were using a new textbook and Ms Shens method of teaching is nothing like that of the teachers at my Junior High school. She think that reading comprehension is important, but we speak a lot in class, too. And we have fun. I dont think I will be bored in Ms Shens class!Today we introduced ourselves to each other. We did this in groups. Some students were embarrassed at first but everyone was very friendly and it was really nice. Ms Shen gave us instructions and then we worked by ourselves.Ms Shen wants to help us improve our spelling and handwriting. We do this in a fun way, with spelling games and other activities. I like her attitude very much , and the behaviour of the other student shows that they like her, too.There are sixty-five students in my classmore than my previous class in Junior High. Forty-nine of them are girls. In other words, there are three times as many girls as boys, They say that girls are usually more hard-working than boys. But in this class, everyone is hard-working.

On the first day of school, with permission of the school headmaster, she took all of the desks out of the classroom.The kids came into the first period. They walked in, and there were no desks. They looked around and said, Ms Cochran, where are our desks? And she said, “You cant have a desk until you tell me how you earn them.”They thought, Well, maybe its our grades.”No, she said.Maybe its our behavior.And she told them, No, its not even your behavior.Second period, the same thing. Third period. By early afternoon television news reporters had gathered in Ms. Cochrans class to find out about this crazy teacher.The last period of the day, Martha Cochran gathered her class. They were at this time sitting on the ground floor around the sides of the room. Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the ordinary desks in this classroom. she said, Now Im going to tell you.Martha Cochran went to the door of the classroom and opened it, and as she did, twenty-seven adults, who were fathers or mothers of the kids, walked into that classroom, each one having a school desk. And they placed those school desks in rows. And when they finished placing those desks, those kids for the first time in their lives understood how they earned those desks.Martha said, You dont have to earn those desks. They did it for you. They put them out there for you, but its up to you to sit here responsibly to learn, to be good students and good citizens, because they paid a price for you to have that desk, and dont ever forget it!文章主旨：学校开学的第一天，经过校长的同意，老师Martha Cochran把教室里的课桌全部移到了教室外。通过这件事，老师想让孩子们认识到来之不易的教育机会是父母创造的，应该好好珍惜难得的学习机会并好好学习。7.Why did Cochran take all the desks out of the classroom?A.

Teachers. B. The headmaster.C. Kids themselves. D. Kids parents.【答案】D【解析】细节题。 who were fathers or mothers of the kids.each one having a school desk”和最后一段“They did it for you.

Its spring break, or “party time”! Every year, rich party animals in the US take planes to places like Florida or Cancun, Mexico. _11_ But for many American students, life is not a TV show, and neither is their spring break. _12_ Usually they are “much cheaper than going on a trip where youll need to pay airfare”, Canadian education website Investopedia noted. “Gather a few friends together and share costs. If the weather is favorable and youre feeling adventurous, you could even try camping.” Having a staycation, which means being a tourist in your own city, is another popular trend. Time Out magazine gave some tips: Visit local art galleries, museums, and tourist attractions;_13_For those who are not in the mood to go out, Spring Break is also a good time to catch up with hit TV series or play video games. As Investopedia concluded: “_14_ Remember that you might have just as much fun on a staycation or at home as you would on an expensive vacation in an exotic destination.”A. Its usually in the middle of March.
