26、Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too far. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend high schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a long distance to attend the school.
◆_________
The schoolday begins at 8:30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classrooms for the day’s studies. Each homeroom class has an average of 40-45 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the schoolday. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities (设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria (自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.
Japanese high school students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years’ studying of each of the following subjects: maths, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives (选修课) are few.
◆Afterschool activities
Club activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs (baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs (English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.

27、 Earlier this month, 6-year-old Isaac went on vacation to Fort Walton, Florida, with his family. While there, his mother Garrett learned about LuLu, a restaurant that offers food to customers with food allergies (过敏症).
At LuLu, Isaac could eat a salad and roast chicken with rice. 'Isaac looked at me as if he was asking me, 'Is this OK? '' Garrett said. Once his mom gave the OK, Isaac enjoyed for the first time the experience of ordering and eating at a restaurant. 'That look on his face seemed to show that this was the coolest thing he had ever done. ' Garrett said.
Garrett and her family hardly go out to restaurants because of Isaac's food allergies. When they go out, she cooks something for Isaac at home before they leave and brings it with her to the restaurant. 'It's not fun and it feels unfair.' Isaac said.
Their night at LuLu marked a celebration for Isaac. Isaac felt terribly fulfilled because of eating at the restaurant. Garrett shared the moment on the restaurant's Facebook page to thank them for helping her son. 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving him this experience.' she wrote in her post.
Barnett, the restaurant's manager said, 'When customers tell the staff that someone in their group has a food allergy, I help with the order by passing it to the kitchen, ensuring it's cooked in a separate station and offering the finished food to the guests. We have been improving this process over the last 10 years since our allergy program was started.'
On Garrett’s Facebook post, LuLu thanked Garrett for sharing her story. 'Thank you for sharing your experience with us. ' the restaurant wrote in a comment. 'We are excited to see your son so happy!'
Garrett is hoping her post's popularity will make other restaurants, especially the places near her family's home about 30 minutes away from Mashville, provide such a service. 'LuLu offers quality services to the guests with food allergies. Nothing would make us happier than that.' She said.
【1】Why do Garrett and her family hardly eat out at restaurants?

B.Because Garrett likes cooking herself.
C.Because Isaac easily suffers from food allergies.
D.Because they consider the food in restaurants unhealthy.

A.She leaves her son alone at home.
B.She orders some special food for her son.
C.She lets her son choose his favorite dishes.
D.She prepares some food for her son ahead of time.
【3】What does the underlined word 'fulfilled' in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A.Satisfied. B.Disappointed.
C.Moved. D.Embarrassed.
【4】What will Barnett do when guests with allergies come to dinner?
A.He will help them order food.
B.He will offer services to them first.
C.He will provide private room for them.
D.He will introduce their allergy program.
