26、Are you worried about moving up to Senior High school? It can be a new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve put together a guide on how to survive the first week.

You’re not alone!

Remember everybody else in your year is on the same boat. They may not realize it, but they’re just as nervous as you are. Moving to Senior High school is an opportunity, not a problem. Things are different and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.

Teachers are ready to help!

If you’re unsure what to do or are worried about anything then you had better ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to as they’re experienced in helping new students. Some Senior High schools also have a “friends system”. If your school has this, then you will be paired with an older student. They will look out for you and help you if you have any problems or questions.

All change

There are lots of differences between Junior High school and Senior High school. You’ll have a homework diary or a student planner. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organized. Make sure you have a copy of your school timetable written down so you know which rooms your classes are in and on which days you will have your different subjects.

Other points

If you’ve got an elder brother or sister at the school then ask them for advice.

Be yourself! It sounds simple, but people will know you much better if you just act naturally.

Having early nights makes a difference and you’ll find it easier to get up in the morning!

【1】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?

A．Other students have similar feelings to yours.

B．Other students have to learn boating with you.

C．Other students will help you solve your problems.

D．Other students will teach you politeness and new rules.

【2】The new students turn to teachers first when having problems because_______.

A．teachers won’t blame them as parents do

B．teachers are good at helping solve problems

C．teachers are equal to every student

D．parents are too busy to help them

【3】What’s the purpose of the passage?

A．To tell students the importance of learning.

B．To warn students not to ignore friendship in Senior High school.

C．To make a difference when moving up to Senior High school.

D．To help new students to get used to the life in Senior High school.

27、阅读理解：共20题 每题2分 共40分

The influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day.

I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood. In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.

American culture is a part of Spanish life now. It’s certain that many things from America are as much a part of people’s lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I’ve known about Coca Cola for my whole life.

However, it’s different with Western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home. On the other hand, maybe McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day.

【1】From the first paragraph we can know that ____.

A.the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhere

B.most Spanish people don’t like to listen to their own music

C.fast food spreads from Spain to the United States

D.some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills

【2】What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain?

A.American novels   B.Hollywood movies.

C.McDonald’s.   D.American music.

【3】Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain?

A.To protect foreign culture in Spain.

B.To earn more money from Spanish films.

C.To limit the number of foreign movies.

D.To unite the European Community.

【4】What do you think Spanish tapas might be?

A.The name of a drink.

B.The name of a restaurant.

C.A clothing brand.

D.A certain kind of food.

28、Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Many people are afraid to speak out for their rights．Dr Robert Albert, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back thinks it’s because their self-respect is low．

But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people help themselves．They offer "assertiveness training" courses A．T．for short．In the A．T．Course people learn that they have a right to be themselves．They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so．They learn to help themselves without hurting other people．

In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear．A group taking an A．T．Course will help the shy person to lose his fear．But A．T．uses an even stronger motive--- he needs to share．The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect．If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person．You start to doubt your answers to problems．You can get to feel good about yourself．And once you do you can learn to speak out．

【1】The problem the writer talks about is that __________．

A．some people buy things they don't want

B．some people are afraid to speak out for their rights

C．there are too many superiors

D．some people don't think enough of themselves

A．some people have a low self-respect

B．there is always someone around who "knows better"

C．salesmen talk people into buying things they don't want

D．people don’t share enough

【3】One thing the A.T．Course doesn't do is to __________．

A．share the need of people

B．show they have a right to be themselves

C．help people overcome fear

D．help people to help themselves even if others suffer

【4】A good title for this passage could be "__________"．

A．The Need to Share

B．Talk Back When Necessary

C．One Way to Build Self-Respect

D．One Way to Train Speaking Ability

29、Why a toy store isn't just fun and games

Steven Aarons is the owner of Barstons Child's Play, an independent toy store in the Washington area. This is a journalist's interview with him.

Interviewer: Did you have a lot of toys as a kid?

Steven Aarons: No. My parents were not in any sort of financial position to buy toys as gifts. If I had any toys, they were from my uncle.

Interviewer: Why did you want to have a toy store?

Steven Aarons: When I was thinking about starting a toy store, I had friends who were artists. I was discussing with them the idea that kids are a blank page. And I think the materials you give to a child are really important to fill it.

Interviewer: What makes for a great toy store?

Steven Aarons: A toy store should consider the development of a child and can mix in the fact that some things are only for play. We'll have a small shelf of Barbie dolls, but we're not going to put it out there predominately (占绝大多数地). I try to think of play time as being the same as nutrition (营养). When you work on a diet for your children you're trying to make sure they're eating healthy things. There's a little bit of dessert (甜品) mixed in, but you're not going to give them just dessert.

Interviewer: Are there any problems of owning a toy store?

Steven Aarons: The hardest moment for me is when I'm helping someone who I sense doesn't really enjoy having children. I think having children is one of the greatest things in life. I have a really good relationship with my kids.
