When you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. It's time to enjoy yourselves!

There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts.

High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. It's to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom, teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.

At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.

Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning (加冠) of a prom king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school.

High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat.

But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop.

The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair takes very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election.

Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye.

If you like the idea of a prom, why don't you and your classmates organize one for your graduation?

What does the word “prom” probably mean in the passage?

A．a(chǎn) dancing competition.         B. a party held to celebrate graduation.

C．a(chǎn) fashion show.         D. an election.

Which of the following is an economical way to hold the prom?

A．renting a ballroom             B．taking a cruise boat

C．holding it in the school gym      D．wearing formal dresses

Which of the following clearly indicates that prom is very important to students?

A．They take pictures at the prom. B．They wear formal clothes or special clothes.

C．Music is played at the prom.   D．Teachers and parents attend it.

Why do some students attend the prom with their friends?

A．They want to be elected by their friends us the Prom King or Queen.

B．They don’t like to be accompanied by their parents.

C．They don’t want to depend on their parents.

D．They will part with their friends in a short time.

Football is, I believe, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to the important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting for one side or the other.

To a stranger, one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He will tell you who he expects will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age.

Most schools in England take football seriously-much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all very important and games are left for the children themselves. In England it is believed that education is not only a matter filling a boy’s mind with facts in the classroom: education also means the training of character; and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games; where a boy or girl has to learn to work with others for his or her team, instead of working for oneself alone. The school therefore plans games and matches for its students. Football is a good team game. It is good both for the body and the mind. That’s why it is every school’s game in England.

1.In passage 1, by “this” the author means ________.

A．people often go to football games.

B．people, rich and poor, young and old, play football

C．football is the most popular game in England

D．people usually shout at each other in a football match

2. In England, a boy’s opinion of a match is often ________.

A．three or four times better than that of adults

B．more than that of adults

C．a(chǎn)s good as that of adults

D．worth considering three or four times than adults

3.In England, education means_______.

A．filling a boy’s mind with stories

B．more than the teaching of knowledge

C．the teaching of knowledge only

D．training character by means of football games

China Daily Oct. 11----The ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to make World Mental Health Day which fell on Friday.

   More than 15 percent of Chinese youths have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shang-based Wenhui Daily reported. The World Health Organization estimates that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent, and mental problems will become a major factor behind deaths and illness in the young worldwide.

   Deng  Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, said rapid changes are one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems. If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence of crimes, drug-taking and other dangerous behavior are expected to rise. Experts said mental diseases could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable emotions and pressures from an overload of studies. A number of experts have also said the one-child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young. Children are said to be too “ spoiled” and “selfish” in a one-child family.

It’s reported  schools in many cities are rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental well-being. Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No.105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month.”  Students can be arranged to have 40-minute counseling sessions,” Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.

1.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

   A. Efforts to Mark World Mental Health Day

   B. Seriousness of Youngsters’ Mental Health Problems

   C. How to Maintain Mental Well-being

   D. Public Awareness on Youngsters’ Mental Disease Expected

2.The writer intends to tell us in the second paragraph that________

   A. mental health problems of the young are becoming a popular problem.

   B. only young people are suffering from mental health problems.

   C. mental problems will become as serious as deaths and illness.

   D. the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent.

3.Which could be the consequence if the problem is left untreated?

   A. Inability to handle interpersonal relations. B. Unstable emotions

   C. Drug-taking and other dangerous behavior D. Rapid social changes

4.Why is the Beijing No.105 Middle School mentioned in the passage?

  A. To provide the students with counseling sessions.

  B. To give an example showing how mental problems are dealt with.

  C. To help ease the anxiety arising from the national college entrance exams

  D. To call on other schools to learn from the No.105 Middle School
