Besides, I dont know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. Its best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.Frank, Aged 21I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable.Good luck!Eddie, Aged 20When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didnt really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.David, Aged 19I am not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But youll get used to it. Dont be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know youre afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week its really not bad at all. Dont worry.51. What can we infer from Sharon about high school?A. Teachers are quite strict.B. Students often stay up at night.C. Teachers provide little care for students.D. Students should make good use of their time.52. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?A. Excited.B. Bored.C. Worried.D. Relaxed.53. Who mentions the importance of friends?A. Frank.B. David.C. Sharon.D. Eddie.BA “lost tribe” that reached America from Australia may have been the first Native Americans, according to a new theory.If proved by DNA evidence, the theory will break long established beliefs about the southerly migration of people who entered America across the Bering Strait, found it empty and occupied it.On this theory rests the belief of Native Americans to have been the first true Americans. They would be classified to the ranks of escapee, beaten to the New World by Aboriginals (土著人) in boats.To a European, this may seem like an academic argument, but to Americans it is a philosophical question about identity, Silvia Gonzales, of Liverpool University said.Her claims are based on skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico that have skulls quite unlike the broad Mongolian features of Native Americans. These narrow-skulled people have more in common with southern Asians, Aboriginal Australians and people of the South Pacific Region.The bones, stored at the National Museum of Anthropology (人类学) in Mexico City, have been carbon-dated and one is 12,700 years old, which places it several thousand years before the arrival of people from the North. “We think there were several migration waves into the Americas at different times by different human groups,” Dr. Gonzales said. “The timing, route and point of origin of the first colonization of the Americas remains a most contentious topic in human evolution.”But comparisons based on skull shape are not considered conclusive by anthropologists, so a team of Mexican and British scientists, backed by the Natural Environment Research Council, has also attempted to take out DNA from the bones. Dr. Gonzales declined yesterday to say exactly what the results were, as they need to be checked, but indicated that they were consistent (一致) with an Australian origin.54. It is generally considered that the first Native Americans came from .A. North AsiaB. AustraliaC. South PacificD. South Asia55. The skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico have .A. the narrow skull shapeB. different features of Aboriginal AustraliansC. the broad skull shapeD. the same features of Native Americans56 The underlined word contentious81 is similar in meaning to “ “.A. likely to cause great interestB. difficult to solveC. well-known to allD. likely to cause argument57. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Research on skulls can draw an exact conclusion.B. DNA tests have proved the fact that the first Native Americans came from Australian.C. Scientists are still not sure about the origin of the Native Americans.D. People began to enter America across the Bering Strait about 12,700 years ago.CDid you know that the color of uniforms can influence the performance of an athlete? It may sound strange, but a study suggests this might be true.Two British scientists studied the results of four sports in the 2020 Athens Olympic Games where the athletes had been given either a red or a blue uniform. They discovered that when there was a big difference in the score, color had no influence on the result. But if it was a close match, the athlete in a red uniform was more likely to win. Then they looked at the uniforms of the soccer teams at the Euro 2020 tournament. Again, teams wearing red won more games.The two scientists got their idea from earlier studies of wild animals. It had been discovered that when a male show red on its boy, it sends a signal of its power and strength. For example, in many kinds of monkey, the more the male shows off its red scare, the more females it can attractBased on this fact, the British scientists thought that the idea might work for humans, too. According to them, when an athlete sees a competitor in a red uniform, he gets a feeling that his competitor could be stronger than him. And that kind of feeling may have a bad influence on the players performance in the actual game.Although the idea is Interesting, most people dont accept that color signals in the animals world can really be useful to humans in sports. They think that it is unreasonable to develop an Idea based on such a small number of examples. Much more research has to be done to prove the influence of uniform colors on the performance of athletes.58. What did the scientists find out about the 2020 Athens Olympic Games?A. Athletes played equally well in four sports.B. Game results had a big influence on the athletes.C. Athletes dressed in red scored more in a close match.D. There was a big difference in read and blue teams scores.59. What may the red scars of a male animal suggest?A. It is quite strong.B. It is a failure.C. It has power over other males.D. It has attracted a lot of females.60. The underlined part “that kind of feeling” in the text refers to a feeling of .A. weaknessB. prideC. dangerD. shame61. what is most peoples opinion to the scientists idea?A. InterestedB. Satisfied.C. Doubtful.D. ThankfulDWatson entered Mr. Smiths office. The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didnt do well without giving them a second chance.“Watson,” said Mr. Smith, “this past year your department hasnt earned money. Were going to drop that department. Its finished. Im sorry, but youll have to go.” “But, sir if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”“Whats that!” said the boss. “Riverside! I didnt know you had a boy there. Thats an expensive school for a man with your salary.”“I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! Hes a star athlete and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ there.”The boss sat perfectly still for a long time a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “Weve got to close your department, Watson. But youll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hoursmaybe more pay. Now get out. Youre here for life.”Watson got out, with surprise on his face. Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbies last letter from Riverside School written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:I cant say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess its the same everywhere when youre a cripple (跛脚的人).

Hes a track star and boxing champ (冠军) and just tops in chemistry.The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me.

Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally ruin our ambitions (雄心壮志). Fear can ruin fortunes. Fear can ruin relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can ruin our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies living inside us.66 .The first enemy we face is indecision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity, 67 .
