I am a middle school student. One day I watched an old lady getting on the bus. She looked very weak and tired, so I got up and offered her my seat. She smiled at me kindly and was just about to sit down when an impolite young man quickly took the seat I had left.
I almost lost my temper.
“I got up to let this lady sit down.’’ I cried. “I don’t care what you did. If this seat is free, I can sit here and no one can stop me. I’ve bought my ticket, too!” said the rude young man.
All the passengers were angry with the rude young man. Several of them insisted that he should give up the seat, but he refused. Ten minutes later the young man wanted to get off the bus, but two very strong men blocked his way and wouldn’t let him get out of his seat.
“Too bad,” one of the men said. “Just stay where you are,” the other one said. “If you like this seat so much, you can sit there and enjoy it!”

Hi, everybody! I’m Max, now I’m studying in an international school in Canada. Students here also spend much time on homework. How difficult the homework is depends on (取决于) what subject you are learning.
For English, we usually put together presentations(展示). I will do some research online. For example, I’m working on a one-minute presentation about recent Canadian news. I read about lots of news, and I will choose one thing to write about. Doing presentations is a good way to practice speaking skills and build confidence (自信). I still get nervous talking in front of many people. But my English has really improved.
For geography and history, we usually do paper work and make posters. It takes a lot of time. We spent about a month on one essay (文章) last year. We had to make outlines and write out the main ideas. Our teacher fixed them and then we could start to write. For the posters, you can either print or draw them. Last week, our teacher asked us to
make a poster about our sense of place. So we put two pictures of our favorite places and wrote 10 words to describe them.
Science was very hard for me at first. I used to translate every word. And it took me an hour to read three pages. But as I learn more and more words, I understand it better. Even if I don’t understand all the words, I can mostly guess what it is saying. So I get faster and faster at doing my homework.
No matter what homework you get, just try your best.
46. What decides the difficulty of students’ homework according to the passage?
A. The teachers. B. The subjects. C. The students. D. The confidence.
47. From Paragraph 2，we know that the writer has improved her English a lot by _____.
A. surfing a lot online B. reading Canadian news
C. working on presentations D. building confidence from daily life
48. In what order does the writer usually write an essay?
①Get the outline back and start to write the essay.
②Wait for the teacher to give some suggestions.
③Make an outline and write down the main ideas.
A. ①②③ B. ③②① C. ③①② D. ②③①
49. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 means _____.
A. the English presentation B. the geography poster
C. the history essay D. the science homework
50. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Of all the subjects the writer likes science most.
B. The writer always tries her best to complete her homework.
C. Homework in Canada is more difficult than in China.
D. Doing homework is a piece of cake for the writer.
