My school life
My name is Susie Thompson, and I'm fifteen. I've been at River School, London, since I was eleven. ① If I pass my exams next year, I'll stay here until I'm eighteen. ②
2. Read the passage and answer the questions.
体裁：说明文
River School is a secondary school, about twenty minutes away from my home by bike. Before I came here, I went to the primary school near my home. I started primary school when I was five and stayed there for six years.
We go to school every weekday from 8: 45 am to 3: 15 pm. Before class, our teacher checks which pupils are present or absent. ③ Then everyone goes to the main hall. There, our head teacher tells us news about the school. At 9: 05 am the bell rings, and lessons start. Each lesson lasts for an hour. ④ We have a break from 11: 05 am until 11: 15 am, then another lesson, and then lunch for an hour. ⑤ In the afternoon, we have two more lessons before school finishes. ⑥
This year I have ten subjects: maths, English, physics, chemistry, French, history, geography, music, IT and PE. Some people learn German instead of French. ⑦ It's lucky we don't have exams in every subject.
We have a large sports ground for football and tennis, where we can play both during and after school hours. After school activities, such as sports clubs and language societies, are popular too. ⑧
During the school year there are usually visits to museums and to camps for activities such as climbing and walking in the country. Last year a group of us even went to Japan. There are parties and a sports day, and school plays are really popular. Once a term, there is a parents' meeting, so our parents and teachers can talk about our progress. ⑨
What do I like best about school English, chemistry, music, sports clubs, school plays... and above all, my friends!

This usually means your family, friends, school and yourself.

考点1
同学们要注意：“since+ 时间点/一般过去时的句子”可与“for+时间段”相互转换，但含有for 的句子应用延续性动词（短语）。
考题1：[重庆A 卷] They have been friends _______ they first met.
A. since B. while C. before D. after
A
【点拨】语法分析法。根据“ they first met”可知, 从句用一般过去时, 主句用现在完成时, 用since 引导时间状语从句。
辨析：since 与for
since 后常接时间点或过去时态的句子, 通常为完成时态的标志。
for 后常接时间段, 用来说明动作或状态持续的时间, “for +时间段”也通常为完成时态的标志。
