American schools begin from September after a long summer vacation. There are two terms in a school year. The first is from September to November, and the second is from February to June. Most American children begin to go to school at the age of five. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they finish high school（中学）. Primary（小学）students don’t have many to learn in school. They usually have three or four classes a day. They don’t go to school at weekends. They learn language—English, math, science, dancing, singing and so on. Most students’ favorite subject is science. High school students take only four or five subjects each term. They’re language—English or Spanish, math, Chemistry, history, biology, physics and so on. After school, they can do many interesting things, such as playing football, dancing, singing, painting and taking pictures. After high school, many students go to college. They usually have to pay（付钱）a lot of money. So many college students work after class.

My younger sister and I often fight with each other. One day, our father said, “Tomorrow we’ll go to a sports stadium. I think you can learn something there.”
The next morning, our father drove us to the stadium. We saw eight children taking a running race there. But some time later, a little girl fell down. Being in great pain, she started crying. When the others heard it, they stopped running, looked at her and then turned back. One of them helped the girl stand up. Two of them held the girl and all the children joined hands together, walked together and finished the race.
On the night of that day, we learned from our father that they were all the spastic (脑瘫的) children from different countries. They didn’t know each other, but they helped each other. I thought we knew what my father wanted us to learn.

Problems Hi! I’m DeepSeek.
11 Hi, I’m new here in the school. I’m shy and I don’t have any friends. Could you tell me how I can get along with my new classmates and make friends with them 12 I feel stressed out at school so I sometimes play soccer to relax. But my parents don’t allow me to do that as they think it’s a waste of time. What should I do 13 I’m a 13-year-old girl. My classmates often laugh at me because I look a little fat. I tried many ways to lose weight but they didn’t work. Could you help me 14 My math grades this term dropped a lot because I found math learning became much more difficult than before. I often feel worried about it. How can I improve it 15 I always feel like I don’t have enough time, but I can’t stop playing. It makes me very busy and I can’t do anything well. How can I better control myself A．It’s hard when you think your parents don’t understand you. You can try to talk with them openly and tell them how you’re feeling stressed at school and how soccer helps you relax. At the same time, you can set a time limit for playing soccer. B．It can be hard to stop having fun to do important things. To get better control, you need to make it a habit to do important things like homework before playing and going to bed at a fixed time. It might be difficult at first, but soon, you’ll find this new way makes you feel better. C． It’s normal to feel shy when you’re in a new school. You can start with small things like smiling and saying “hi” when you see them. Besides, try to find out if you share the same interest with your classmates. If you have the same hobby, use that to start your first talk. D．There are some ways you can try to improve yourself in math learning. Take time to find out which part you don’t understand well. After that, you can first try to deal with it by yourself. If it doesn’t work, ask your teacher or classmates for help. Don’t forget to practice it in time. E. It’s wrong to make fun of others. You can first tell them how their words make you feel. But if they still do that, don’t be afraid to report it to a teacher or an adult you trust. You don’t have to face it yourself. Besides, I hope you should know health is more important than weight.

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. 16 When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless 17 and asked God for help.“Please God, I can't do anything more for my son. I'm at the end of my hope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” 18 , I choked up（哽咽）and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son, but I just don’t know what to do. I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school 19 . It's out of my hands.”
For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year " I nodded. “That was me.

阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Most people enjoy listening to music. But if you ask your classmates what kind of music they like, you may get many different answers. 21 What do these differences say about people
Researchers from Cambridge University tried to answer the questions. They surveyed 350, 000 people from 50 different countries. 22
Outgoing people, for example, prefer rhythmic music and danceable music. People who enjoy country music are shown to be more serious about their work. One of the results is quite interesting. The researchers predicted (预测) that people who were under too much stress should like either sad music to express their feelings or rhythmic music to improve their moods. But it burned out that these people liked neither. 23 Perhaps it helps reduce their stress.
The researchers also found that climates might influence people’s musical preferences (偏爱) and personality. People in warmer climates prefer danceable music. They are more outgoing. This may be a result of longer daylight hours and warmer evenings.
Of course, nothing is clear-cut (确切的). 24 The Cambridge study shows us that people of different cultures are more similar than we think.
“People may be divided by geography, language and culture,” said Dr. David Greenberg, the leading researcher. “But if an outgoing person in one part of the world likes the same music as outgoing people elsewhere, then we can say that music is really like a powerful bridge.
A．Do you enjoy listening to music
B．In fact, they prefer loud and powerful music.
C．Too much stress makes people in a bad mood.
D．We may not group people just by their musical tastes.
E．Why do different people have different musical preferences
F．Then, they discovered some connections between musical preferences and personality.
Across much of the United States, a warming climate has caused the early arrival of spring. This year is no exception. In parts of the Southeast, spring has arrived weeks earlier than usual and may turn out to be the warmest spring on record.
Apple trees blossoms in March and an earlier start to picnic season may seem harmless and even welcome.
25
Rising temperatures in the springtime lead plants and animals to come alive. Across the United States and worldwide, climate has been changing over these years. 26
Records managed by the USA National Phenology Network and other organizations prove that spring has come earlier the long term. 27
Blueberries in Massachusetts have flowers three to four weeks earlier than in the mid-1800s. And over a recent 12-year period, over half of 48 bird species have been studied. 28
Warmer spring temperatures have also led bees, moths and butterflies to appear earlier than in recent years. Similarly, species like frogs and bears wake up from hibernation earlier in warm springs. 29 When species that depend on one another don’t respond to changing conditions at the same time, the number of them will get smaller.
根据短文内容，从短文后选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
A．It is affecting the arrival and interactions of plants, animals, insects and more.
B．All species don’t respond to warming the same way.
C．It shows that they arrived at their breeding(繁殖）grounds up to nine days earlier than before.
D．For example, the common yellow lily flowers come out nearly a week earlier in the Appalachian Mountain area than it did 100 years ago.
E．But the early arrival of springtime warmth has many downsides for the natural world and for humans.
Imagine you’re sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions( 提及) a game that happens to be one of your favorites. “Oh, that game’s easy. So don’t spend the time on it,” one of your friends says. The others agree. 30 .
You have just experienced what is called peer (同伴) pressure, also named as peer influence. You will take on a certain kind of behavior, dress, or attitude(态度) in order to be accepted by the peers around you.
According to Dr. Casey from Cornell University, teenagers are more possible to make quick and correct decisions when they have time to think or are on their own. 31 . In a recent study, teenage volunteers were asked to play a video driving game, either alone or with friends watching. The researchers discovered that the number of risks that teenagers took doubled when their friends were watching, compared with when they played alone.
32 . A teenager might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it, or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important. In fact, friends often encourage each other to study or try out for sports.
Though you may be influenced by others, you are always the final decision-maker. 33 .
A．we are all influenced by our peers at any age.
B．So when comes to decision making, the choice is up to you.
C．Although you enjoy the game very much, you go along with them in the end.
D．Just as people can influence us to make foolish choices, they can also influence us to make good ones.
E．However, when they make decisions in a hurry or in social situations, things are usually different.
I want to talk about my experience(经历) of moving out. 34 Many people live with their parents though they have good jobs and they're in their thirties. Many of them don't even move out when they get married(结婚). There are two reasons for this. First, Hong Kong's rent(房租) is high. Second, Chinese people think that kids should look after parents and spend more time with parents when they get old.
When I told my friends about the idea of moving out, many of them asked, “What do your parents say ” 35 However, they said, “OK.” They thought it was good for me to live on my own.
Why did I want to move out 36 It took me one hour and fifteen minutes to go to work from my parents' house. From my new apartment, it just takes me thirty minutes. I don't have to get up early and I save some money.
37 Although I have to do many things on my own, it's easier for me to balance(平衡) work and life.
A．Now I'm enjoying my new life.
B．They didn't think my parents would like me to leave them.
C．The most important reason was to save time in the morning.
D．In fact, moving out to live on one's own is not common in Hong Kong, China.

Have you ever thought about how people get their names Let’s learn a little history about family names in North America. People in North America have two names. Their first name is given to them by their parents. 38 It is the family name.
Long ago, however, people had only one name. A man could be simply called John or Peter. A woman could be called Mary or Elizabeth. 39 Everyone was confused (迷惑的), so a second name was needed. Children began taking their father’s name as the last name. In this way, children of John were called, for example, Peter and Mary Johnson. Names such as Jackson, Anderson and Davidson came into use.
Mac means “son of” so the name MacDonald means “son of Donald”. 40 So Fitzpatrick and Fitzgerald mean “son of Patrick and son of Gerald”. Some people got their names from the places where they lived. For example, a family living in a village with many green trees and plants might take the name Green. 41 Sometimes, people got their names from the way they looked. A tall person was perhaps called Long. If people in a family had dark hair, the family was sometimes called the Blacks or the Browns.
42 A person who sewed (缝补) clothing was named Taylor. A person who baked (烘烤) bread was called Baker. A person who had a very good voice was named Singer.
It is interesting to know the history of names.
A．Fitz is another way of saying “son of”.
B．Their last name is the same name that their parents have.
C．People also took their names from the kind of work they did.
D．After some time, there were too many people with the same name.
E．If they lived in a town called Moor, they might be called the Moores.
F．Our parents and friends are always on the journey with us.
