At last, the mid-term exams are over. You’ve done the hard work, but you can’t relax. You have to prepare for the next exams. Do you hate exams? If you do, you are not alone. Students in other countries hate them as well.
Luckily for them, British students have fewer exams than Chinese students. And they only have them once a year. Every summer they take a test in each subject. Each test lasts about an hour. These exams don’t count for much, even if a student does really badly they still progress to the next grade. When the results come out, they are then placed in an end-of-year report. The report is sent to the child’s parents. It describes how the student studied at school.
This report is private, so only the teacher, the student and his or her parents see it. This means that the students don’t know how other students scored(得分) in the test. Some students choose to tell each other, but others keep it secret.
Parents’ meetings are held twice a year, at the end of winter term and then at the end of the summer term. Children go along with their parents to meet their teachers privately and discuss their performance at school.
小題1:For British students, the school life is         than that of Chinese students.
A．more relaxingB．much tenserC．more boringD．much harder
小題2:The underlined phrase “don’t count for much” means           
A．難以計(jì)數(shù)B．不太重要C．期望不多D．難度不大

A．They have exams once a year.

What do you usually do to get pocket money from your parents? In western countries, many children do chores to get pocket money. They usually start to do this at 10 years old.
School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don’t have a lot of free time in the week. They often do chores at the weekend.
Young kids only do easy chores. So they don’t get much money. But that’s all right. Many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap! They help wash up after dinner and feed the family cat or dog.
When they get older, kids want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. Then they have to work harder! They often wash the family car, cut the grass, walk the dog and cook dinner.
Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn to use a lawnmower(割草機(jī)) or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.
小題1:How do the children in western countries get pocket money?
小題2:When do they usually start to get pocket money?
小題3:Why do the school students usually do chores at the weekend?
小題4:Why do the elder kids have to work harder?

As we all know, the ocean moves. But waves breaking on the beach make the ocean fun. When you stand on the shore and look at the waves, it seems like the water is moving towards you. But the water is not really moving forward. The moving you see is wave energy. And wave energy comes from the wind.
Let’s think about how this works. As wave energy passes through the water, the energy makes particles （粒子） of water move up and down. Just give you an example of a wave passing under a basketball. We put a basketball on the sea. When the wind blows, a wave comes from behind the basketball. The basketball moves up to the top with the wave. Then the wave continues and leaves the basketball behind. The basketball looks lower, but it doesn’t move forward. That’s because the wave energy just moves the water which is under the basketball.
　  So why can you see a wave knock you down on the shore？When a wave moves toward the shore, the bottom of the wave slows down because it meets the ocean floor. But the top, which is called crest(浪峰), keeps moving. The different action causes the wave to fall over or break onto the shore. If a wave is very large, it carries a lot of energy when it hits the land. As time goes by, waves can break up and carry away the rocks and other things on the shore. Shorelines are changing all the time because of wave action.
小題1:______ is really moving forward when you look at the wave.
A．WaterB．The basketballC．Water and wave energyD．Wave energy
小題2:Match the sentences with the pictures and the right answer.
(1) The basketball moves up to the top with the wave.
(2) The basketball continues and leaves the basketball behind.
(3) When the wind blows, a wave comes from behind the basketball.
A．a(chǎn)—(2) b—(1) c—(3)B．a(chǎn)—(3) b—(1) c—(2)
C．a(chǎn)—(1) b—(3) c—(2)D．a(chǎn)—(3) b—(2) c—(1)
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Wave energy comes from the water.
B．Large waves carry plenty of energy.
C．Wave action makes shorelines change all the time.
D．The bottom of the wave is easy to slow down.
小題4:The underlined word “it” ( Paragraph 3) refers to “________”.
A．particles of waterB．the shoreC．the windD．the bottom of the wave
小題5:The main idea of this passage is ______.
A．what makes particles of water moveB．how a basketball moves on the ocean
C．how wave energy causes wave actionD．why a wave can knock you down

My teachers suggested that I see a speech specialist (專家) in school.
I never really gave much thought to my speech. If other people understood what I was saying, then that was good enough. I didn’t mind repeating myself many times.
Before testing me, the speech specialist asked me what I thought of having good speech. I told her I thought it was not important.
“Well, when you are in an interview for a job, and they don’t know what you are saying, what are they going to say to you? Nice meeting you, bye,” she said.
Maybe good speech was important. I took part in 20-minute classes each week with the specialist.
After she tested me, she told me that I spoke too fast, and didn’t give enough eye contact (眼神交流). I learned that when I made eye contact with someone, it meant that I was talking to that person, and I could also see what he or she thought about what I was saying.
When my first speech class started, I found that I had been speaking too fast to be understood. Every time I spoke too fast, the specialist stopped me and told me to start again. At first, I got stopped after almost every other sentence. After a while, I felt my speech slow down. I wasn’t sure if people could understand me better, but my friends stopped asking me to repeat myself.
Speech is an important skill to have. If you do have good speech, that’s a good thing, but if you don’t have it, it is never too late to improve.
小題1:The article is probably taken from       .
A．a(chǎn) newspaperB．a(chǎn)n advertisement
C．a(chǎn) detective storyD．a(chǎn) science book
小題2:What did the writer think of having good speech before the classes?
A．It was very useful.B．It was nothing important.
C．It was impossible.D．It was good for interviewing.
小題3:What were the writer’s problems when he was speaking?
a. He spoke too quickly.
b. He never stopped once he started talking.
c. He seldom kept eye contact with people.
d. He didn’t give others time to ask questions.
A．a(chǎn), bB．b, cC．a(chǎn), cD．b, d
小題4:From the sentence “but my friends stopped asking me to repeat myself,” we know that _____.
A．the writer’s friends couldn’t understand him
B．the writer still couldn’t make eye contact
C．the writer improved a lot
D．the writer didn’t slow down
小題5:Through the passage, the writer wants to tell us that _____.
A．seeing a speech specialist is necessary

There are many wetlands（濕地） in China and some of them have become the world‘s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng， Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve（自然保護(hù)區(qū)） is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world， but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine， too.
