Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have for one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both anxious and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
David, Aged 19
I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.
4．What can we infer from Sharon’s words about high school
A．Teachers are quite strict. B．Students often stay up at night.
C．Teachers provide little care for students. D．Students should make good use of their time.
5．Who mentions the importance of friends

Feel lucky about what you have
17 . A but they just don’t know it. Instead of giving all your attention to what you are short of, look at how lucky you are already. No doubt you have some wonderful friends, and a roof over your head.
18
Luck doesn’t just happen to you — it comes to you when you’re open. Learning a new skill, visiting a new place and trying a new hobby are great ways of creating your chances.
Do it right now
You’ll never create any luck if you sit there waiting for it to fall into your lap (大腿). 19 . You will find you create more luck in everyday life.

Choose a place where you feel comfortable and safe
Truth be told, traveling alone for the first time is more about the experience than the destination. 22 It could be somewhere close to home or somewhere you’ve already been with friends.
Make a plan
Always make a plan. That way you’ll avoid worrying too much over where you’re staying, what to see and how you’re getting from A to B．
23
This can make you less nervous when you’re traveling alone for the first time. Besides, when you book your hotel, ask if they will send a driver to pick you up.
Talk to people
If you’re going to a touristy place like Thailand, there are lots of other people who are traveling alone. 24 They might also ask you to join them for dinner or a beer. That happens a lot.
Let someone know where you are
Your family and friends love you and probably worry about you every day, so text them and let them know what you’re up to throughout your trip. 25 And in case something did happen, they’ll know where you are.
A．Book hotels ahead of time.
B．Don’t draw attention to yourself.
C．That will make you and them feel safer.
D．The first thing you need to do is believe in yourself.

The United States is a vast country where there are four different time zones. In addition, many parts of the country observe daylight saving time (DST) as well. In areas that adopt DST, the clock is moved one hour forward for the summer. Thus, the local time varies across different areas of the country. 26 It has been changed many times over the years.
For decades, both the Eastern Time Zone and Central Time Zone have existed within the state. Many areas in the state have switched back and forth between Eastern Time and Central Time. Furthermore, until very recently, policy concerning DST differed from one place to another. 27 In 2006, however, the entire state started to observe DST.
Some have argued that the time system in Indiana harms local businesses working with companies outside of Indiana. For example，a company in Indiana once scheduled a phone conference with companies in other states. 28 This was because those who missed the conference did not know in which time zone the company was located.
29 Local businesses may benefit from being in the Eastern Time Zone where the financial center of the entire country, Wall Street in New York City, is located. Meanwhile, this may not be convenient for residents in the western parts of Indiana who commute (通勤) to major cities in the Central Time Zone, like Chicago, just across the state border.
The controversy over time in Indiana was partly resolved in 2006. 30 However, there is still disagreement about having two different time zones in the state. This debate may continue as long as people living in different parts of the state have different needs.
A．In other areas DST was adopted.
B．It is not easy to resolve this issue.
C．The entire state started to observe DST.
D．Only half of the participants were on line.
E．Most areas in the Eastern Time Zone did not adopt DST.
F．The state of Indiana is known for its complex time system.
G．It depends on which time zone the area is in and whether DST is adopted.
