If you have a chance to go to school in America,you should keep the following in mind:
If a teacher asks you a question,you are expected to give an answer.If you do not understand the question,you should raise your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question.It is all right to tell your teacher that you do not know the answer.Then he or she knows what you need to learn.
There is no excuse for not doing your homework.If you are absent,you should call your teacher or your classmates and ask for the homework.It is your responsibility to find out what homework you have missed.
It is impolite to eat,drink or chew gum during class.This is allowed for the break.Removing one's shoes in the classroom is also impolite.
You must not be absent on a test day.If you are seriously ill,you must call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test.If your teacher allows a makeup(补考),you should take it within one or two days after returning to class.
It is rude to be late.If you have to come in late,be sure to do it quietly by having your books and papers out of your bag,then go to your seat and sit very quietly.In the US,it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom.Most teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.

Since I'm new, I might have made some mistakes in my work. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake.
When he came back in the evening, he was completely shocked to see that the whole painting was filled with crosses. He ran to his master and said to him, "I抦 useless and if this is what I have learned to paint, I'm not worth teaching.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk,laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well,which doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again,and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women,if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than those people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.
28.The first paragraph tells us ________.
A. none needs friends
B. we need to be alone
C. we always need friends around us
D. making friends is the need in people’s life
29.Which of the following is the most probable place people name after friendly people?
A. A house. B. A room. C. A library. D. A village.
30.If people have friends, they would live longer, because ________.
A. they feel happier and healthier
B. they get a lot of help from their friends
C. they take better care of themselves
D. both A and C
31.This passage tells us ________.
A. that people are all friends B. that people need friends
C. how to get to know friends D. how to name a place
D
Walking home from work with a family friend,I found myself in a discussion about her daughter’s going to college.
It started with the mother telling me that she had no money to help her daughter go through college,which led the mother to push community college fiercely.She then started to say how she had been pushing “high-paying” fields on her daughter—doctor,engineer,lawyer,etc.When I asked her if that was what her daughter had interest in,she said no.I asked her what the point was to push her daughter into something that she didn’t like,and she responded with,“I just want her to make a good fortune.”
After hearing her words,I would like to state that money is not everything.A high-paying job means nothing if you are miserable.I used to do a high-paying job,but it was very tiring and I had no time of my own.I didn’t like it at all.Though the pay was good,I was not happy.
So I’d like to tell parents,please do not force your children into a major or a career just because you think they are going to make a lot of money.They would feel terrible for taking that major or job just to comfort you.The worst part is the feeling of guilty when they decide to change that major to something they actually want or when they quit that job.
Being a member of a generation who are willing to give absolutely everything to our kids,we know we just hope our children could live happy lives.Please do not force a career path on our children just because we think it is good for them.Give our children advice,but don’t force them.
What do we know about that mother?
A.She thought highly of community college.
B.She got along very well with her daughter.
C.She couldn’t afford her daughter’s college fees.
D.She wanted to be a doctor when she was young.
33. The mother chose the fields for her daughter mainly because .
A.her daughter really liked those fields
B.she thought those fields were interesting
C.those fields wouldn’t cost much at college
D.she considered them to be high-paying fields
34. Why did the writer mention her story in Paragraph 3?
A.To prove that high-paying jobs mean nothing.
B.To show that not all high-paying jobs are satisfying.
C.To prove that high-paying jobs make people miserable.
D.To show that low-paying jobs are better than high-paying jobs.
35. From the text,we can infer that the writer would most probably advise parents to___________ .
A.choose the best major or career for their children
B.avoid giving their children advice on their major or career
C.let their children make the final decision on their major or career
D.give everything to their kids to make sure they’ll have a good future

“Who questions much, shall learn much, and remember much,” said Francis Bacon. Now it seems obviously how we acquire knowledge and understanding. Therefore, in the 17th century, people believed much in religion than in facts. As result,people tended to ignore the facts but were unwilling to challenge what they had believed.Till today,people still feel that if someone important and respect says that something is right, then it must be so. But sometimes great men so as Aristotle and Galilei might make mistakes.Therefore our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing up and changing.In other word,we learn more every day and none of us can simple say, “We know it all.”“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered;the point is to discover them,” said Galileo Galilei.

Dear Smith,
Nowadays, with damage to the environment getting more and more serious, pollution has become a wide concern for us. As far as I am concerned, it’s high time that we took some measures to protect the environment.
There are many things we can do to protect the environment. We can recycle some useful garbage before they are thrown away and put the harmful in a safe place. We can reclean smoke and waste water before they go into the air or the rivers. What’s more, we have every reason to make full use of natural resources, or we will be in great damage very soon.
To save the environment is to save ourselves. Only when everyone becomes fully conscious how important it is to protect the earth and takes effective measures to safeguard it, can we gain sustainable development with a bright future to greet.
Yours,
