题目

阅读理解 Since graduating from middle school, this year's new 9th-grade class is adapting to(适应)the challenges of high school, a difficult process(过程)for many students. Some of the challenges the students must get used to are the increasing difficulty of schoolwork, the amount of homework, and the change in the grading system amongst other things. "It's a bit harder than middle school, but that is to be expected from every ongoing year," David palacios, 9th-grade student, said. Adaptation is also influenced by stories the freshmen hear before entering. These stories create a negative(消极的)idea of high school, as they are usually bad stories about classes, teachers, or other topics. "Stories I've heard of high school are exaggerated(夸张的)," Palacios said. The school is fighting against student fear by providing information about high school, even before they enter. This year, the 9th-grade class entered school on August 8, one day earlier than other high school students. This was done to help the freshmen by solving any doubts they could have. "In general, they adapt well, because since middle school they have been given some information on what high school is," Ana Isabel Garcia, high school advisor, said. The changes faced in 9th grade are more challenging than those found in middle school. However after experiencing the first two months of 9th grade, many 9th graders agree that 9th grade is not as hard as they thought it would be. "It's not that different from middle school," Palacios said. High school is harder than other grades as it's the final step students take before they enter the real world. Students must see the important role high school plays as it teaches them many skills that will help them improve their future. "They do well because they come in with a good attitude(态度)and wish to adapt well," Garcia said. （1） What did Palacios think of the freshman challenges? A . They would disappear soon. B .
