27、It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little frightened on the first day of school because of all the new thing: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often read classroom rules and school rules to you so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t know. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friends!
Seeing friends you haven’t seen for some time can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll need. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A.Start.

28、European Union member countries made the final plan that would require all new cars sold in the EU to be zero emission(排放) vehicles starting in the year 2035. It’s part of the EU’s plan to deal with climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a plan bigger than similar efforts in the US. A quarter of the EU’S emissions come from transportation, and 70% of that is road traffic.
“The direction of travel is clear: in 2035, new cars and vans(货车) must have zero emissions,” European Commission Executive Vice President Timmermans said in a statement. “The new rules on CO2-emissions from cars are a key part of the European Green Deal and will be a big contribution to our target of zero-emission by 2050,” Timmermans added.
The plan also requires that, by the year 2030, the average emissions of new cars drop by 55% and the average emissions of new vans drop by 50%, compared with vehicle emissions in 2021.
But there’s one major caveat to the plan. The EU said it would allow the continued sale of cars that run on e-fuels(合成燃料) past 2035 at Germany’s request. E-fuels are made using CO2 emissions caught in the air.
The US President has said he supports the increase of electric vehicles, and in 2021 he signed an order setting a goal that half of all new passenger cars and light trucks sold in the US in 2030 be zero-emission vehicles.
The shift from combustion engines(内燃机) to electric vehicles won’t be as easy as turning a key, experts say. Some of the challenges of changing to zero-emission vehicles include the high cost of electric cars, and a lack of charging equipment.
【1】What does the EU aim to achieve by 2035?
A.No emissions are made from road traffic.
B.Its efforts have the same results as the US.
C.No new cars make any greenhouse gas emission.
D.One-fourth of its emissions are from transport.
【2】Which can replace the underlined word “caveat” in Para. 4?
A.Difficulty.
B.Benefit.
C.Relief.
D.Excitement.
【3】How do experts view the change of combustion engines to electric cars?
A.It does little harm to the environment.
B.There are some problems to be solved.
C.I will hep reduce the cos of car-making.
D.The government should act up to support.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The US Falls Behind in Electric Cars
B.The EU Has Mace Its Final Car Plans
C.Different Voices Exist in the EU Plan
D.All New Cars Will Go Green in the EU
