Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to attend the school.

     ◆________

     The school day begins at 8:30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the day's studies. Each homeroom has an average of 40-45 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school day. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities(设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early

morning hours.

     Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American

students. Students in high schools take three years' studying of each of the following subjects : mathematics ,social studies, Japanese, science and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral studies(思想品德课). All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives(选修科目) are few.

   ◆After-school Activities

Club activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and

they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs (baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs (English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.

                            How to Make Friends

 Ten years ago I used to be very fit. I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.

   Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that

 any more.

There’s a lot of stress(压力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.

Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!

    Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something as I used to. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?

16．The writer’s health is becoming worse mainly because ________.

A. he is very fond of his job

B. he likes drinking and smoking

D. his work makes him feel stressful

A. He got higher pay.

B. His working hours weren’t long.

D. He had little free time at weekends.

18．What can we learn about the author?

A. The author is not sure what he should do now.

B. The author has taken the doctor’s advice already.

C. The author has got another new job.

D. The author feels much better now.

Mum, it’s me. Hopefully, this Mothering Sunday you will get to hear those three words. I will, try to phone you. I hope we will be able to speak for the allowed 10 minutes. But if I can’t, this is what I want to say:

It’s not your fault that I am here. I know that deep in your heart you have questioned whether my present situation is somehow your fault. It is not. Only one person is to blame—me. You have always taught me that when the room goes dark, you can wait for the lights to be switched back on or you can search in the dark and turn the light on yourself. You are my light, always have been and always will be. There is nobody I have tried harder to please in my life, which is why my current failure hurts me so much.

I am so sorry that I will not be there to see you, but now, as always, you are here with me. In my darkest hours, and in the coldest loneliness of my past few months, my mind has so often wandered to the past, to when it was you and me — and I have been able to smile. Yours is the strength that I draw upon.

A parent’s job is to make sure that they pass on the best of themselves to their children. You have done that. I have failed you, but you have never failed me. If I think back to the tears I shed when Dad left, all those years ago, I see you through their misty glaze. You holding me and you telling me we’d be OK, and we will be. We are and always will be the best team.

Childhood heroes such as footballers, actors and rock stars are clichéd. You are mine. The strength you showed after the divorce from Dad to find your biological parents, to go to university and get your teaching qualifications, to begin your life again, is the strength that I draw on now. Once I am released I can and will rebuild my life.  I will make you happy to have me as your son.

So this Mothering Sunday, please think back to the first Mother’s Day, when a six-year-old me got up early and made breakfast for you. Do you remember it? You didn’t have to eat it, but you did, chewing every dry mouthful.

I love you so much. I am sorry I have let you down, but you have taught me that we will always pick ourselves up and become better than we were before. Thank you for everything:

Happy Mothering Sunday.

Love, your son

12. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined, word “oliched”?

   A. unusual     B. common    C. funny    D. strange

13. According to the passage, what made the author most upset at present?

   A. Failing to phone his mother     B. Having no chance to see his mother

   C. Being a prisoner forever       D. Disappointing his mother greatly

14. What did the author do in the loneliness of his past moths?

   A. He summed up the causes of the failure in his life

   B. He thought back to the time spent with his mother

   C. He recalled the fond memories of being with his parents

   D. He prepared himself to go to university for further studies

15. Which of the following can best describe the author’s mother?

   A. Selfish and stubborn      B. Caring and sensitive

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an optimist（乐观主义者）, a leader, or an active person who enjoys life and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? If you do, then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don't choose our favorite colors as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

Colors do impact our moods----there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey.

Remember that if you feel low, you can brighten your day with a few colorful things. Remember that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike as well.

24. According to psychologists, _________.

A. anyone can choose his color preference in his life

B. no one can choose his color preference in his life

C. anyone is born with his color preference

D. no one is born with his color preference

25. According to the passage,__________.

A. if you enjoy life, you must like yellow, orange and red

B. if you are quiet, you must prefer gray or blue

C. if you love green, you usually do what you have decided

D. if you love pink, you often go to flower shops

26. The underlined word “impact” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_______”.

A. influence           B. ruin         C. reflect        D. explore

27. Psychologists study the meaning of color preference because_________.

A. colors may decide the results of our work and study

B. colors may affect the emotional states of the people

C. color preference can tell you who your friends are[

D. color preference can help you to see through your enemies

Born without the right hand, 12-year-old Cassie Stewart often had to sit out during music classes. Cassie was sad that she couldn’t take    41    and would quietly walk toward the back of the    42   .

In many developed countries，especially in the United States，racism(种族主义) was widespread in the early part of the twentieth century.Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment.Marian Anderson(1897～1993)was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism.She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood.When she applied for admission to a local music school in 1917，she was turned down because she was black.Unable to attend music school，she began her career as a singer for church gatherings.In 1929，she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there.Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe.Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.

Racism again affected Anderson in 1939.When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington，DC，the daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color.She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75,000 people.In 1955，Anderson became the first black soloist to sing in the Metropolitan Opera of New York City.The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “heard only once in a hundred years”．She was a US delegate to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977.Anderson eventually triumphed over racism.

Everyone has worries, but what do you do with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take three steps to deal with them.

1. Try to find out the causes.

  36   Sometimes you know it, but sometimes you might not. If you can’t make sure what your worries are, you will have more and more new problems in your life. So remember that you must try to find out the causes before you start to deal with them even though it might not be so easy.

2.   37   

There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problem.   38  . If you’re worried about them, ask yourself these questions:

★How do I get ready for class? Do I review my notes even when there isn’t a test?

★Do I have a good place to do my homework?

★  39 

If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do—write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.

3. Ask for help.

When you are worried, you need to find someone to communicate with.   40   They will help you analyze your problems carefully and solve them easily.

A. Think of the ways to make it better.
