A

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￡100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, "Who would like to have this ￡100 bill?" The students began to put up their hands at once.
     Then he said, "I am going to give this bill to one of you, but first, let me do this." He then made this bill into a ball. Then he said, "Who wants it?" Hands went into the air.
     "Well," he said, "What if I do this?" and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, "Who still wants it?" Hands went back into the air.
     "My friends," he said, "You've learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it didn't go down in value. It was still worth ￡100.”
     “Many times in our lives, we're dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those who love you. Your value doesn't come from what you drop or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.”

Bill McIntosh and Royce Wedding had been the best friends for 30 years. Now, living alone 12 miles east of the town, Bill earned his living by hunting foxes and rabbits.
     "Coming to the football match this afternoon?" Bill McIntosh asked 54-year-old Royce Wedding as they drank beer at the Eureka Hotel. Royce shook his head, "I promised Mom I’d burn off the weeds in one of our fields." “I’ll give you a hand," Bill said.
     Driving slowly from the southern edge of the field, they worked their way upwind, leaving a line of burning weeds in their wake. Suddenly the fire was on them. Bill pushed open his door only to find himself thrown through the air, the gasoline tank exploded and the car jumped three feet off the ground. When it crashed back down Royce found himself unable to move. Bill lay where he fell. “Royce!" he cried, struggling to his feet and heading for the car. Pulling open the door, he seized Royce’s arms through the smoke. "I’m stuck," Royce said. “Get yourself away!" The fire bit at Bill’s arms, face and legs, but he said, "I'm not leaving you here.” Now Bill pulled as hard as he could. Suddenly he fell backward. Royce was free and out of the car.
     "What's the matter with that dog?" said Vicky Wedding, Royce’s mom. Shocked by noise behind her, she turned to see Bill leaning against the door.

Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to attend the school.
     At School
     The school day begins at 8:30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the day's studies. Each homeroom has an average of 40-45 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school day. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities(设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.
     Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years' each of the following subjects mathematics, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral(道德的) studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives(选修科目) are few.
     Afterschool Activities
   Club activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs (baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs(English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.
8. Most Japanese high school students often have their lunch________.
  A. in restaurants     B. in school cafeterias  C. at home    D. in homeroom classrooms
9. Students in the USA go to school________days a year.
  A. 180             B. 200          C. 240          D. 300
10. The underlined word "rarely" in the fourth paragraph means "________". 
  A. always       B. never        C. seldom     D. often
11. From the passage we know that________.
  A. there are less than 40 students in each class in Japanese high schools
  B. students must stay in homeroom classrooms for physical education
  C. there are few subjects for students to choose except the required ones
  D. there will not be any club activities during school vacations[Z-x-x-k.Com]

When we’re in need, we always turn to our parents for help. But would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions (延伸) of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
　　In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.
　　These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated (侵犯）when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
　　It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
　　A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”
　  Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list. 
12. The passage is mainly about ______. 
　 A. privacy online                       B. parents’ friend requests
　 C. the generation gap               D. social networks
13. From Paragraph 2, we learn that ______.
　 A. parents have realized the importance of social networks
　 B. parents feel secure about their privacy online
　 C. social networks successfully fill the generation gap
　 D. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate
14. Teenagers may refuse a parent’s friend request because ______.
　 A. their parents make negative comments on them
　 B. they hide something from their parents
　 C. they are unwilling to be watched by parents
　 D. their parents tend to fall behind in technology
15. The passage is written mainly for ______.
　 A. parents            B. teachers   C. researchers      D. teenagers

How to Love Your Parents[Z-x-x-k.Com]

    Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are.
