Dear David，
I'm glad to receive your letter asking me about my high school life．
Life for a freshman like me is really challenging．At the beginning of this new term，a strict but exciting seven-day military training was held．Tired as I was，it built me up and tested my will．New life on campus provides opportunities to make some new friends，with whom views can be exchanged in depth．There are various extra-curricular activities，which can greatly enrich my school life．As for my new teachers，it seems that every teacher can make their lessons lovely and interesting．As you can see，I'm adapting to the fresh life．How about you
Best regards!
Yours，
Li Hua
Ⅲ．[参考范文]
When I was loading up my backpack，Mrs．Green invited me to her office．Mrs．Green looked into my eyes as if seeing my inner self locked away inside．“I'd like to invite you to give it a try．But if you really don't want to，I won't force you．It is your choice．”The news that Mrs．Green wanted me in this role really shocked me．I was always a shy person，not even dare to speak loud in public．But was it always true for me
Hearing Mrs．Green's words，I realized that it was time to make a change．I decided to do something different．I wanted to prove that I also could do something good in public．After seconds of hesitation，I said，“Mrs．Green，I want to play the role．And I will try my best to perform it well．”Looking at me with a big smile on face，Mrs．Green said，“I'm convinced that you can make it．Don't hesitate to turn to me if you encounter any difficulties．”I nodded my head and left her office happily．

2 / 2课时提升作业(三)
(UNIT 1 Section Ⅲ WRITING WORKSHOP &READING CLUB)
(总分：60分)
Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
In England，when the eighth graders leave the middle school，they are often worried about moving to the high school．It is a hard time for them，but it can be an exciting one as well．To make it easier，students need to get familiar with their school．
Even though they've done this already in the middle school，it's still important to find where their classrooms are．Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year．And，most schools also have a freshman(新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins．Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school．This can help students and parents to find different places in the school．
One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport．Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports．Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school．If you are not interested in sports，there are clubs for any interest，such as drama，dance，chess，photography，and community service．These clubs allow students from different grades．By joining an activity，students can find new friendships，not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请)．The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them．
What's more，to have a great start to a high school year，students can write down some of their worries，and ask for help from teachers and school workers．
1．According to the text，most students feel ________ when entering the high school．
A．excited B．nervous
C．lonely D．disappointed
2．Which of the following is TRUE about the school clubs
A．There are fewer students from higher grades in the school clubs．
B．The school clubs in high school only welcome sports fans．
C．Summer activities begin after school starts．
D．The school office can help new students join the school clubs．
3．When do many schools take students to visit their new high school
A．Before the eighth grade year starts．
B．Right after the high school year starts．
C．At the end of their eighth grade year．
D．At the beginning of the new term in the high school．
4．What is the purpose of this text
A．To tell the new students how to learn in the high school．
B．To introduce new schools．
C．To give the teachers some advice．
D．To give advice to new high school students．
B
Our teenagers are lonely．A new study by Harvard's Making Caring Common (MCC) shows just how that feeling has been common and become serious during the past year when we had to keep the social distance．One year's online learning and life in the bedrooms rather than the classrooms or dorm (宿舍) rooms can make teenagers feel lonelier than before．Teenagers have been more likely to be influenced by loneliness than older adults．
Experiencing loneliness is certainly sad，and it is also dangerous．Researchers found that 63% of the young were suffering from bad sleep，anxiety，and poor health during the lockdown (封闭) and that nearly a quarter had started or increased some bad habits，including smoking，drinking and staying up late to deal with their feelings．
About half of the young people in the study，who said they had felt lonely，explained that over the past weeks not one person had taken more than just a few minutes to ask how they had been lately．It made them feel they had no one who really cared about them．Their parents thought they had much free time after lessons and it seemed that they only worried about whether their children could perform their schoolwork at the level they once did．They didn't know the problem．
Sian Leah Beilock，the president of Barnard College，explains that young people depend on social media，which makes them especially weak to social media's harm．She also suggests that fewer close friends may explain some of the feelings of loneliness．She reports that in 1986 the average American had three close friends with whom they could share important things about their lives．In 2005，that number had dropped to just two friends．And in 2020，one in five millennials (千禧一代) had no friends at all．
These levels of loneliness are heartbreaking．MCC suggests，as a nation，we first should focus on teaching the young to make meaningful connections between people and support them．
5．What does one year's online learning and life in the bedrooms lead to
A．Teenagers'getting lonelier．
B．Teenagers'getting busier．
C．Teenagers'getting happier．
D．Teenagers'getting healthier．
6．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．Bad effects loneliness has on the young．
B．Bad habits young people often develop．
C．Benefits of the lockdown．
D．Causes of the lockdown．
7．What does the underlined word“They” refer to in paragraph 3
A．The young people． B．The parents．
C．The friends． D．The teachers．
8．How should the young develop relationship with others
A．Quickly． B．Meaningfully．
C．Widely． D．Patiently．

Ⅲ．读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Finally，I had done it．I had really done it．I played the drama successfully in the school hall．But a few months earlier，I would never have imagined acting in a play in front of hundreds of people．But when the time came，I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears and discovered I could do more than I ever thought．I found a new person inside me，a much more daring，outgoing person who had been hidden all along，just waiting for the opportunity to appear．
Without my teacher，Mrs．Green，I might never have found that opportunity．In the first grade，I was extremely shy．I had friends，but it just wasn't in my personality to be very outgoing，even when I knew someone well．I was afraid I would do or say something wrong，so usually I just smiled and listened to other people's conversations．I did well in school and I loved to write．However，I would escape into my writing，where I could be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me．In fact，I was never shy in my stories．
My teacher，Mrs．Green，always encouraged me to write more．She told our class to go after our dreams and dig in with both hands．I think she was the first person to see my inner strength．One day，she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written．“I'll begin to invite everyone tomorrow，” she said．“I need someone who is not afraid to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy．Anybody wants to try？” Many excited hands shot up，and mine，of course，was not one of them．Mrs．Green smiled．“We'll talk more about it tomorrow，” she said．Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom．
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
