When I was 13, almost everyone just thought I was a kid so 1 did not have to worry about anything. But that was not true because I was bored with everything I was learning. Besides, my mother didn't understand me.
When I was 14, things changed. My friend encouraged me to learn music and I just found out that I had a strong interest in music so I started spending much time on it.

Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have. Imagine how Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese soil, seeing a way of life quite different from anything he'd seen before.
And how great must it have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia His brain must have been packed with everything he'd seen and heard, leading to the founding of the Silk Road.
Some people have traveled all over the world, and travel is a way of life to them. They perhaps know what to expect before they travel. That's why the best travel is when it's for the first time. Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United States. Of course, they've probably seen the Statue of Liberty a thousand times on TV, and the White House, and all the other famous sights. But none of that would compare to the excitement of looking out of the window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into view.
Although travel is often just for recreation, it's also educational. We may not know that we are getting an education, but we still are.
We're learning every day: new words in a new language, new people, and new ways of life. But this learning takes place in the school of the world, not the classroom. As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isn't necessarily the best way. (暑假作业 P39）
28. The author uses Marco Polo and Zhang Qian as examples to .
A. explain how the Silk Road was founded
B. present travel as an amazing experience
C. show how the way people travel has changed
D. describe important cultural exchanges in history

Some people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the following terms
“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.” This is a way of saying“Keep off the grass.” Or“people mountain, people sea”, which means“very crowded” .
These examples are what we call Chinglish. When it comes to Chinglish, if all you know is“good good study, day day up”, you will be considered“out man” .
Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as“smilence”, a combination by the English word smile and silence.
Chinglish usually offers a humorous look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. They are favoured by some English speaking tourists and visitors. Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years. “I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us foreigners, it’s actually quite charming to see them. I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from Chinese culture.”
However, Chinglish will probably become a“cultural relic”in the near future. Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous to see Chinglish on the signs in some scenic spots. And they are a kind of barrier for communication between Chinese and people from other countries,” a Beijinger said.
Some Chinese university experts side with Chinglish. They argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and now it’s Chinese’s turn.
32. What can we call Chinglish
A. English words which get new Chinese meanings.
B. The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.
C. The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese grammar. D. The local words preventing foreigners from learning Chinese well.
33. What does“smilence”most probably mean
A. Saying nothing but to smile. B. Smiling without being noticed.
C. Laughing at somebody. D. Knowing little about speech.
34. What is Swire’s attitude to Chinglish
A. It can show the humour of Chinese. B. It will attract more foreign tourists.
C. It helps him to learn Chinese well. D. It seems part of Chinese culture.
35. Why Chinglish is likely to become a“cultural relic”in Beijing
高二秋季开学考试 英语 试卷
A. Because it has become a unique bridge between Chinese and English.
B. Because Chinglish is a chance to enrich Chinese and English.
C. Because it improves the understanding between Chinese and foreigners.
D. Because Beijing is determined to get rid of Chinglish signs.

Middle school is a tough time for almost everyone. Most kids are trying to figure out who they are and who they want to be. It takes me some time to realize that I wanted to be kind more than I wanted to be popular.
I was talking to some friends while standing in line in the cafeteria at my middle school. As I started to share a funny story, my friend Elizabeth interrupted me. " Coco!Coco!" She called out. All my friends laughed.This was so strange, I thought.
Over the next week, every time I opened my mouth around Elizabeth, she interrupted me with that same word. Elizabeth was one of the girls that everyone wanted to be friends with. She always had the nicest clothes and told the funniest jokes. I felt lucky to be friends with her. I didn't want to be left out, so I started using the word too. Elizabeth thought it was funny when I interrupted someone else's story with our new code word. And since I wanted her to like me, I did it even more, even though I wasn't sure what it meant.
One day after school, Sara, a classmate since primary school, stopped by my desk and asked, "Julia, do you know why Elizabeth started saying 'Coco' all the time "
I shook my head.
Sara sighed. "It means she thinks you're being annoying. A few days ago, she told us that you were bothering her when you told stories. She wanted a code word without you knowing she was talking about you. I know it's really mean, and the rest of us shouldn't have gone along with it. I'm really sorry."
