Would you like to experience what going to school was 'like in the late 1800s To start with, imagine everyone in school only one classroom.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, most American students went to a one-room schoolhouse. A single teacher would typically(典型地) have students in the first through eighth grades, and she taught them all. The number of students varied from 6 to 40 or more. The youngest children sat in the front, while the oldest students sat in the back. The teacher usually taught reading, writing, arithmetic, history, and geography. Students memorized(记忆) and retold their lessons.
The classroom of a one-room schoolhouse probably looked much like your own. The teacher's desk stood on a raised platform(讲台) at the front of the room, however, and there was a wood-burning stove since there was no other way of heating. The bathroom was outside in an outhouse.
In Honeoye Falls, New York, there is a one-room schoolhouse where kids today can experience what it was like to the students in the late 19th century. For a week during the summer, they wear 19th century clothes and learn the way children learned more than a hundred years ago.

Time management is the greatest challenge for me in high school. I have to take good care of my subjects, activities, social life and rest. I was often angry with my family members just because I didn't plan my time well. For example, I might shout at them for troubling me when I was working, And sometimes I might say .something bad to them when I missed deadlines, even if it was actually my fault for cramming everything in(所有的事情堆积起来) at the last minute.
As time goes by, I realize that time management is very important in our everyday life. The best advice to deal with time management is "break it into bits". It's really important for you to learn how to break a big project into small, manageable tasks. Then you can work progressively and have a sense of achievement whenever you've done with a small part.
Another piece of advice is to plan a timetable for yourself. It's just have to be the one that you follow completely. It's just there to serve as a guide. You can compare your actual timetable with the planned one to see how well you actually use your time. The final suggestion is to always set deadlines for yourself.
（1）Why was the writer angry with the family members
A．The writer was weak in subjects.
B．The writer didn't plan the time well.
C．The writer had no chance to plan activities.
D．The writer's social life was boring.
（2）For the writer, what's the best advice to manage time
A．To miss deadlines.
B．To cram everything in at the last minute.
C．To break a big project into bits.

A．The writer studies in a university.
B．It's impossible to break a big project into small tasks.

"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence. " That's an old saying in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and, instead, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-Autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: its friendliness. Not all countries are as warm as China.
It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn from them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
（1）The Spring Festival is more meaningful for Chinese people.
（2）The saying means the place where you live looks better than other places.
（3）Foreign culture can't replace Chinese culture.
（4）Some people worry that young Chinese ignore Chinese culture.
（5）This passage mentioned three Chinese festivals.

The law says women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them. The reality is very different. Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act, many of them still get paid less than men. They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won't consider. And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children. All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government's women's unit. The biggest problem isn't equal pay in workplaces such as factories. It is the sort of work women do.
Make a list of low-paid-jobs, then consider who does them. Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies and child-care helpers. Not a lot of men among that group, are there Yet some of those jobs are really important. Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start. So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly There can be only one answer—because they are women. This is not going to be put right overnight. But the government, which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start.
It is disgraceful（可耻的） that we have gone into the 21st century still treating women like second-class citizens.
（1）Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and be paid equally as men ____.
A．after 25 years B．according to the law

A．that the women interrupt a career to have children

A．Women should get equal pay for equal work to that of men.
B．Women should strengthen加强 themselves.
C．The Government ought to protect women against getting paid less than men.
D．Some of the jobs that women do are of great importance.
