Sam says, “I like June. June is a good month. I like it hot. Summer starts in June. Summer days are hot. The days in June are hot. ”Pam says, “I like June. June is a good month. I like it cold. Winter starts in June. Winter days are cold. The days in June are cold. ” Who is right Are the days in June hot or cold Sam is right. Pam is right. How can both Sam and Pam be right Our earth orbits around the sun. That means the earth goes around the sun. When it orbits, it tilts ( 倾斜). For half of the earth ’s orbit, the North Pole points to( 北极 指向) the sun. For half of the earth’s orbit, the South Pole points to the sun. When the North Pole points to the sun, it is hotter in the north and the days are longer. In the south, it is colder and the days are shorter. When the South Pole points to the sun, it is hotter in the south and the days are longer. In the north, it is colder and the days are shorter. Sam lives in the north. Summer starts in June for Sam.

Things didn’t go well for Henry, the village pancake ( 烙饼) maker. The Great Pancake Contest( 比赛) was today. People from different places would try to win the contest. The villagers wanted Henry to win, but Henry had problems. There was not enough wood in the oven to make a pancake. Mice ate half the flour (面粉) during the night. The villagers saw that Henry was having problems. The woodsman Carter brought wood for the oven. The farmer Danny gave Henry more flour. This was all very good but he was still missing one more important thing. There was hardly enough time for Henry to make his pancake and take it to the contest. But Henry decided to have a try. As fast as he could, Henry put the wood in the oven. When he made the pancake, he thought, “When I had no wood, the woodsman brought me wood; when I had no flour, the farmer brought me flour. My good friends helped me.”
After Henry finished making the pancake, he ran as fast as he could to the contest.“I’m sorry, Henry,”one of the judges ( 评判员), Peterson said.“You are too late.” Henry’s friends were sad for him, but Henry just laughed.“I ’m not sad!

Today I went to Sam’s school in the UK. It was really different from my school in China.
Girls wore grey skirts and white shirts, boys wore grey trousers, and everyone wore the school tie.
Some of Sam’s lessons were a bit strange for me. We were reading Shakespeare in the English lesson, and there were quite some old words like “thou” and “thee” to mean “you”. In history we studied 20th Century China. It was strange hearing a foreign side of history—and hearing English people trying to say all our Chinese names!
Classes were also a lot more relaxed than in China. Teachers were called “sir” or “miss”, everyone shouted answers and raised their hands in classes. It was more like a debate than a class. A bell rang at the end of each lesson and everyone jumped up to go to the next class.
At break we bought potato chips and cookies in the dining room. Lunch was later than in China—at 1 o’clock. We had big plates of pie with carrots. For dessert (甜点) there was hot sweet rice called rice pudding. It was good that I’d had an excellent lunch, because at Sam’s school Monday afternoons are taken up with sports.
I played my first game of netball—a bit like basketball, but with some differences. Luckily I’d had a quick look in the rule book before I tried to join in the game.
1. Paragraph 2 shows that ___________.
A. they wear uniforms in Sam’s school
B. lessons are different between schools in China and the UK
C. there is a break of 30 minutes every day in the school
D. sports take up much time in Sam’s school
2. The underlined word debate in Paragraph 4 means ___________.
A. fight B. exam C. discussion D. advice
3. What do they have for lunch at Sam’s school
A. Pie and hot sweet rice. B. Potato chips.
C. Cookies. D. Carrots.
4. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Relaxed Classes in the UK B. Clothes, Food and Sports in a UK School
C. Strange Lessons in Sam’s School D. A Day in Sam’s School
