Fun things to do in high school
Learn another language
Your school might be holding foreign languages classes, so this is a great way to start your language learning journey! If you want more self-paced learning, apps like Duolingo are easily accessible (可使用的) on our mobile phones. As our world becomes more interconnected, it’s always good to learn another language or two.
Aim for a semester of straight A
This can be a difficult task but not impossible to achieve, as long as you put in the right amount of work and effort. If you are struggling with your grades, you can host or join group studies with your classmates!
Don’t give up if you are not able to get an A in a semester. What’s important is having the drive to go forward. As a famous person once said, “He who would climb a ladder must begin at the bottom.
Experience another culture
Culture and tradition are something that all humans share. No matter where we come from, we always bring our culture with us. People coming from different cultures may be among your friends or neighbors.
You can go to a museum, read a book, or try new food in your area. Remember to keep an open mind and take the time to learn about them.
Bring a shareable treat to class
If you know your way around the kitchen, you can impress your class by making and bringing them a delicious treat! Not only will this make their stomachs happy, but you’ll also bond (联系) the whole class together. Just don’t forget to check with your teacher first before bringing one.
11. What should you do if you want to learn a language at your own speed

In the green mountains of southern Oman, men in traditional clothes are singing old poems in an ancient language. They are trying to keep this spoken tradition alive --only 2% of the population uses it .
Khalid, a 41-year -old poet, sits under a tent and reads the poems. Other men repeat his words.” Jibbali poetry helps us save our language and teach it to young people," Kathiri tells AFP.
Most people in Oman speak Arabic (阿拉伯语). But in Dhofar, a mountainous area, people speak Jibbali. Researcher Almashani says it is an “endangered language”,with fewer than 120,000 speakers in a country of over 5 million. It is a real language with its own rules. It is older than Arabic and comes from South Arabian languages.
“Jibbali is very old,”Almashani says. Dhofar’s isolation（隔离状态）once protected it -- mountains to the west, the Rub’ al Khali desert to the north, and the Indian Ocean to the south. But isolation is not enough. Another Dhofar language, Bathari, is almost dead, with only 3 or 4 speakers left . Some fear Jibbali may face the same condition.
Saeed Shamas, a social media support Dhofari heritage, said it was important for him to raise his children in a Jibbali-speaking environment to help keep the language alive. “If everyone around you speaks Jibbali, from your father, to your grandparents, then this is the language you will speak," he said .
After the poetry reading, nearby children told AFP they like Jibbali more than Arabic. But Almashani warns Jibbali is not taught in schools or well-recorded, so it is still in danger. Almasham and his team are making a dictionary with 125,000 words, translated into Arabic and English. They also plan a digital version with sound to help people say it .
What activity in southern Oman is described
A.Teaching Arabic to local children. B. Singing ancient poems in Jibbali.
C. Building tents in the mountainous areas. D. Discussing how to attract more visitors.
15.What do we know about Jibbali
A. It is as popular as Bathari.
B. It is widely spoken in Oman.
C. It has rules based on other languages .
D . It has a longer history than the Arabic language .
16. What once helped the survival of Jibbali
A .The government’s plans . B.The unique place of Dhofar .
C .The wide use of Jibbali in schools. D. The influence of other languages ..
17. What did Saeed Shamas mainly want to say
A. Family is important in language protection.
B. Arabians should speak Jibbali in daily life.
C. Schools should add Jibbali to their course lists.
D. Ancient poems are necessary for children to learn .
C
“Practice makes perfect” is very popular. However, can you really understand it
It is believed that if a person practises for at least 10,000 hours, they will reach “perfection”—or become an expert in their field. It was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 best-selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He gave the examples of the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates, who clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became successful.
However, although Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson, Ericsson said 10,000 hours was just an average figure. Some people needed fewer than 10,000 hours and others many more. More importantly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of practice were also important. He went on to explain the importance of “deliberate practice”, which is when a person practises a part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole. Deliberate practice is much more effective, though more tiring.
Many other studies prove practice alone is far from enough. In fact, a more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for占about 26% of reaching an expert level. Many other factors are needed to become experts. Natural talent is an important factor, which is obvious in sports. For example, many baseball players have amazing eyesight that allows them to see the ball much sooner than others do. Besides, IQ, personality and attitude are necessary. It is also important to note that becoming an expert is not a quick success. Success also depends on social factors, environmental factors, and even just being in the right place at the right time!
All in all, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to improvement.
18. Why does the author ask a question in the first paragraph
A. To let people think over it B. To stress his opinion.
C. To make a comparison. D. To give the meaning.
19. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. Different people may need different practice hours.
B. Practising a skill as a whole is much better for improvement.
C. Ericsson doesn’t support deliberate practice.
D. Gladwell’s work has nothing to do with Ericsson’s research.
20. What makes many baseball players perform so well
A. Their personality. B. Their talent. C. Their attitude. D. Their practice.
21. Which sentence will the author probably agree with
A. Attitude is everything. B. Patience determines success.
C. Talent is the most important. D. Practice makes a difference.

Dear Jim,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling down after the recent debate competitions and considering quitting the debate club. I’m writing to cheer you up and share some suggestions with you.
First, don’t be too hard on yourself. Everyone has ups and downs, and a single poor performance doesn’t mean you’re not good at debating. You’ve learned a lot from the club—like how to express ideas clearly and think critically. These skills are valuable for both study and life. Second, about balancing study and the club, you can make a schedule. Plan your study time first, and then arrange debate practice in your free time. This way, you won’t feel stressed. Also, you can ask your club mates or teachers for help. They might have useful tips to manage time better. Finally, don’t give up easily. I believe with more practice, you’ll do better next time. And your efforts will surely pay off.
Cheer up! I’m always here to support you. Wish you all the best in both your study and the debate club.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
