A
It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared(害怕)on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!
Seeing friends you haven’t seen for some time can make the first day a good one. You can make the day special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers(运动鞋). It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll need. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
1. The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.
A. start B. study C. find D. teach
2. The last paragraph mainly tells us about ________.
A. what to know about a new school B. how to prepare for a new school
C. what to do on your first day of school D. how to spend your first day of school
3. According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except ________.
A. introduce yourself B. learn about the school rules
C. make new friends D. go over your new lessons
4. If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you will feel__________.
A. nervous B. lucky C. happy D. worried
B
Cultural differences do exist, but we can really use them to tighten our relationship as human beings, because there is strength in diversity. We are going to expose some interesting cultural differences around the world. Read these cultures to help you travel out of your homeland!
In Greece, spitting (吐痰) at weddings is believed to drive away devils (恶魔) . Funny as it sounds, this cultural tradition is an important practice. What is more shocking, this spitting is focused on the bride. It is regarded as a good luck to bless the couple. However, things have been changed in some parts of Greece these days. Wedding guests just face the bride and make sounds and impressions that show they are spitting on her—without actually spitting.
Everybody knows Thai people are so friendly, but their culture demands that you never point your feet at anyone of any statue, especially that of the Buddha. In addition, they also consider the head to be more important than other parts of the body. This is why it is disrespectful to touch another person’s head in Thailand. It is the same with statues. If you see the Buddha(佛像) statue, avoid touching its head as well.
Russians are very hospitable. In their culture, food is a serious business. Lunch is the most important and heaviest meal. If you get invited by your Russian friend for a meal, don’t ever refuse it—they find it impolite. You might want to skip your own meals to leave space in your stomach for the food you will eat in Russian gatherings. This is a very interesting cultural difference between Russia and other nations.
With limited knowledge about cultures outside your own, you won’t be able to really flow with a foreigner. Know more about the cultural differences around the world and make your life easier.
5. Why do the Greek spit at weddings
A. To add fun to the wedding. B. To drive away bad luck and bless the couple.
C. To celebrate the new wedding. D. To express their dissatisfaction with the couple.
6. What should be avoided if you are in Thailand
A. Eating too much food for a meal. B. Touching your head in your home.
C. Pointing your feet at the statue of the Buddha. D. Refusing your friends’ invitations.
7. What does the underlined word “hospitable”in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Famous. B. Welcoming. C. Active. D. Clever.
8. What is the best title for the text
A. Beautiful Tourist Attractions in the World
B. The Most Delicious Food in Different Countries
C. Interesting Wedding Traditions in Asian Nations
D. Surprising Cultural Differences around the World

Dear Mike,
Because of my slow progress in English learning, I feel worried. So I’m writing to seek your help.
I find it hard to remember English words. Besides, English grammar is so difficult that I cannot make out sentence successfully, and many sentences are difficult for me to understand. I have been trying my best to learn harder, for example, noting more words and expressions down, seeing English movies, etc. However, it makes little difference. I am more confused. How can I improve my English What should I do
I would be thankful if you could give me some suggestions. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
