24、Dear Parents,

As we start the second half of the spring term, I thought it important to update you on some key developments.

Post-Collaboration （合作)

We have entered into an exciting new collaboration with Bassaleg Comprehension School, Duffryn High School, St Joseph’s High School, and Coleg Gwent- the Newport West Post- 16 Partnership (共同体). We will be working together to send nearly 40 different courses at these schools. Students from other schools will study some subjects here. Information about the courses for students can be found on the website www. newftartwest. com. uk.

Uniform

I would take this opportunity to remind all parents that students are not allowed to wear non-school uniform sweaters in Newport High School. It is the responsibility of parents to make sure your son or daughter wears the correct uniform to school. This includes completely black shoes. Over the next half term, we will be working with students to develop a sweater with the school logo which will provide a choice to the current school jacket.

School Catering （饮食服务)

We are now looking for a new company to provide school meals. Our new catering provider will be in place at the start of the summer term and will be working with students, parents and staff to provide improvements to our current service. I will keep you updated on this development.

Some key dates for you to be aware of over the next half term are:

25、More and more people around the world are joining in dangerous sports. Some people climbed the highest mountains; some traveled into unknown parts of the world; some sailed small boats across the largest sea. Now some people begin to look for new excitement.

Bungee jumping (蹦极) and motorcycle racing (摩托车赛) are quite dangerous sports. Bungee jumping only lasts for a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place, about 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (橡胶带子) tied to your legs. When you jump down, the rubber band pulls you up. About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.

Why do people join in these dangerous sports  Some scientists say that it is because modern life has become safe and it is not interesting. In the past, people lived in danger. They had to go out and look for food, and life was like a fight but was interesting.

Many people think that there is little excitement in life. They live and work in safe places, buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.

26、Recently, an elderly woman touched many people’s hearts. She was honored (给与奖励) as a role model in China’s fight against poverty (贫穷). Her name is Xia Sen.

Over the past years, 98-year-old Xia Sen has given away most of her personal savings to help students from poor families in Danfeng, Shaanxi, and Shangyou, Jiangxi get an education.

Born in 1923, Xia was only 15 years old when she became a teacher in Yan’an. While teaching she kept learning. Years later, she went to work as a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

In 2006, Xia visited Xijie Primary School in Danfeng. The school was old and in bad condition. That made her very sad. She spent 20,000 yuan buying desks and books for the students.

In 2008, she took out 200,000 yuan and helped Zhaogou Primary School in Danfeng build a classroom building. It is a building with eight bright and clean classrooms, which is a complete change from what their old classrooms looked like.

Five years later, Xia used 1 million yuan of her savings to set up the “Xia Sen Scholarship (夏森助学金)” to help high school and college students from poor families in Danfeng and Shangyou. So far, at least 182 students have gotten help from the scholarship to pay for their education.

Some students who got Xia’s scholarship went to Xia’s home to visit her in 2018. To their surprise, Xia and her husband led a very simple life. “I was moved by Granny Xia and her husband,” one student said.

Though Xia and her husband have given away most of their savings to help the poor students, they always say that what they have done is far from enough. Xia often says her life is much better than her life in Yan’an. Now her only hope is that she can help more students.

【1】The underlined word “savings” means ________ in Chinese.

A．救助

B．避免

C．储蓄

D．减少

【2】What happened when Xia was 15 years old?

A．She left Yan’an.

B．She went to college.

C．She became a teacher.

D．She studied in Danfeng.

【3】What did Xia do for Zhaogou Primary School?

A．She gave away 20,000 yuan to it.

B．She gave talks to encourage its students.

C．She bought desks and books for its students.

D．She helped build a classroom building for it.

【4】Which can be the best title for the text?

A．A big honor

B．A big change
