Like schools in China, American schools begin in September after a long summer vacation. There are two terms in a school year. The first term is from September to January and the second is from February to June. Usually American children begin to go to school when they are five years old. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they finish high school.
But unlike middle school students in China, high school students in America take only four or five subjects each term. They usually go to the same classes every day and have homework for every class. After class they do all kinds of interesting things.
After high school, many students go to college. They may go to a small or a large one. They usually have to pay a lot for their higher education. So lots of students work after school to make money for their studies.

Drinking water is good for your health. There are some scientific ways of drinking water.
1. It is the best medicine to drink two glasses of water in the morning.
2. Drink clean water.
3. Drink the water that has not been boiled.
Many people think boiled water is safe and good to people’s health. In fact, it is not true. The boiling point of water is 100℃. By boiling it, most bacteria（細(xì)菌）in water can be killed. In the past, the water was less polluted. So boiling was a good way to make clean water. But heavy metals and other dangerous things in today’s water are much more terrible than bacteria. Boiling doesn’t fix that problem. And boiling water may give us more of the dangerous things in our glass.
4. Never use soft drinks to take the place of water.
5. Water is also needed in winter.
6. Drink water at the right time.
1) After getting up in the morning, you have less water in your body, because you weren’t drinking for the whole night. So you should drink some water to keep your health after getting up in the morning. That can prevent high blood pressure, cerebral hemorrhages（腦溢血）and so on.
2) Drinking water at about 10 am helps your body keep enough water.
3) Drinking water at about 3 pm can clean out the wastes in your body.
4) About eight o’clock in the evening is the best time to drink water. Your blood gets thicker when you sleep. Water will make your blood less thick.
Besides, we should drink 2L of water every day. Water is so important for our life. We should drink water often.

Entering high school means you have to make more effort on study, There are a few tried and tested skills that have always proved effective(有效的) for learning. Here are some of them.
Firstly, make a timetable and follow it. This will include how many hours and which part of the day you will spend studying. Try to make sure that your study time takes place after you have rested, so that you are fresh and can learn effectively. You will find that studying at the same time every day will help you concentrate(集中) better. It’s also important to keep improving your timetable, to make it more effective over time.
Secondly, pick a place that will help you concentrate on study. The place should be far away from loud sounds which make you uncomfortable and prevent you from concentrating on your study.
High school study skills include a method called SQ3R. The first step is to survey（縱覽） what needs to be covered in order to get a general understanding of the subject. Next, you can learn about the material by answering questions such as what, why, how, when, who and where. As you study, ask yourself questions and look for the answers in your material. The third step is to read and then recite（背誦） what you have read. The last step, reviewing, is often the most important one. People need to review any material about three times, before they keep it well in their minds.
Besides these study tips, you can come up with several of your own study skills for school. However, remember that time is the most valuable thing you have. All the study skills for high school will be nothing, if you don’t use your time wisely.
(   ) 4. In order to study well, you should do all the following EXCEPT _______.
A. never change the timetable once you have made it
B. choose a place that will make you feel comfortable
C. answer some questions and ask yourself questions
D. create and follow your own study skills for school
(   ) 5 The writer thinks the most important step in study is to _______.
A. read           B. survey         C. review          D. recite
(   ) 6. The right steps to use the SQ3R method are _______.
A. question-survey-review-read & recite     B. survey-read & recite-question-review
C. read & recite-review-survey-question     D. survey-question-read & recite-review
(   ) 7. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
A. School Life at High School             B. Study Skills for High School

A new term has begun. Teachers are  41  about the fact that new students are not easy to deal with. They like to bring cell phones and MP3 players to school. What is worse , some students even use cell phones  42  out-of-class matters in class, or sometimes just for fun. Some  43  students listen to MP3 players when they are having a lesson that they are not interested in.
Are these new students really that  44 ? “Yes.” Says Delaney Kirk, a professor（教授） at Drake University. But she adds it’s not their fault. 45 , the teachers should be blamed(責(zé)備).

It seemed that learning well had nothing to do with them.” She says. “At first, I got worried about this.” But then I said to  46 , “You’re giving lessons, and you need to manage this kind of situation. These students need to know more about manners. It’s time to help them develop some good  47 . They shouldn’t waste time doing nothing when they are young. Sooner or later, they may regret(后悔) the time they  48 .”
Mrs Kirk also makes a list of suggestions to help teachers better manage（駕馭） their classes. The following are among her suggestions:
On the first day of class, tell students how they will benefit(受益)by taking the class and the importance  49  listening carefully in class.
Do not allow them to bring cellphones or MP3 players to the class at all.

Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no medicine, either.
Life today brings new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and we become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is very thick. People cannot see the sky clearly.
Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution. Factories now must clean their water before they throw it away. And they mustn’t let dirty smoke go into the air.
There are many things we can do to fight against pollution. We should put waste things in dustbins and do not throw them on the ground. We should go to work by bike or on foot instead of taking a car or a bus. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. We should do our best to fight against pollution.
