Fun things to do in high school
Learn another language
Your school might be holding foreign languages classes, so this is a great way to start your language learning journey! If you want more self-paced learning, apps like Duolingo are easily accessible (可使用的) on our mobile phones. As our world becomes more interconnected, it’s always good to learn another language or two.
Aim for a semester (学期) of straight A
This can be a difficult task but not impossible to achieve, as long as you put in the right amount of work and effort. If you are struggling(挣扎)with your grades, you can host or join group studies with your classmates!
Don’t be disheartened if you are not able to get an A in a semester. What’s important is having the drive to go forward. As a famous person once said, “He who would climb a ladder must begin at the bottom.
Experience another culture
Culture and tradition are something that all humans share. No matter where we come from, we always bring our culture with us. People coming from different cultures may be among your friends or neighbors.
You can go to a museum, read a book, or try new food in your area. Remember to keep an open mind and take the time to learn about them.
Bring a shareable treat to class
If you know your way around the kitchen, you can impress your class by making and bringing them a delicious treat! Not only will this make their stomachs happy, but you’ll also bond (联系) the whole class together. Just don’t forget to check with your teacher first before bringing one.
What should you do if you want to learn a language at your own speed
A. Go to a museum to read books. B. Attend another language class.
C. Learn it on an app like Duolingo. D. Join group studies with your classmates.
What’s the key if you can’t get an A in a semester
A. Keeping an open mind. B. Asking your teachers for help.

A. Experiencing different cultures.
B. Making your teacher angry and anxious.
C. Making some students have a stomachache.
D. Making your classmates happy and united.
B
Our room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet, peaceful and fairly deserted (空寂无人的).
The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday center. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting close to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We couldn’t see his face and he was approaching (接近) us very rapidly. The man’s actions made my dad very anxious. Dad warned us that we’d better try to make it to our hotel room as quickly as possible. I didn’t like my dad’s voice. I could hear anxiety in it. It was late and we were all alone. We didn’t have any cellphones on us. I never saw Dad as anxious as he was then and I knew that something was terribly wrong. The sense of fear started to overwhelm Mom and me. We had had such a good time in town. Now, the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation.
We could hear the man’s footsteps getting closer. Dad’s face was almost pale. The so-called intruder (侵入者) had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden, the nearby vending (自动贩卖) machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight. My parents were shaking, but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all. Not a soul. It’s one vacation I will never forget.

A. At the seaside. B. Near a lake. C. In a village. D. In a mountain.
What happened on the last evening of their vacation
A. They lost their way. B. Their cellphones were missing.
C. Their money was stolen. D. They were followed by a stranger.
What was the author’s father’s reaction on the last evening of their vacation
A. He was somewhat fearful.
B. He didn’t know what to do at all.
C. He didn’t take what happened seriously.
D. He was quite calm and controlled the situation.
What helped them get out of the trouble
A. Their quick action. B. Timely help from a young man.
C. The young man’s warning. D. The noise from the vending machine.
C
At thirteen, I was diagnosed with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write about it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.
She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.”
I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” one in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts flowed and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. Now that Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day —with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep tying.”
Why did the author fail to finish class reading
A. He had poor reading skills. B. He was tired of literature.
C. He had an attention disorder. D. He wanted to take the task home.
What do we know about Louis Braille from the text
A. He was poor. B. He was very creative.
C. He was near-sighted. D. He was well-educated.
What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story
A. Angry. B. Impatient. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
What does the text mainly want to tell us
A. The blind should be treated with respect.
B. Teachers can open up a new world to students.
C. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.
D. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.
D
The arts, especially music, should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive (积极的) to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band. Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of audiences. Music gives children an opportunity for self-ex pression, and that helps develop their self-confidence. Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their characters. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.
How could music make students smarter
A. By improving their memory and attention.
B. By improving their classroom skills and imagination.
C. By making them brave, knowledgeable and modest.
D. By learning and making music.
What does the underlined phrase “glued to” in the second paragraph mean
A. Unwilling to tum on. B. Always looking for.
C. Unwilling to leave. D. Always playing.
What’s the main idea of the third paragraph
A. Music brings children success.
B. Music gives children self-expression.
C. Music helps children achieve their dream.
D. Music develops children’s self-confidence.
What’s the best title of the text
A. Music Is a Must as a Course at School
B. Music Builds Children’s Self-confidence
C. Music Makes Students Much Smarter
D. Learning Music Is Not Very Important
