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 afraid on the first day of school because of all the new things: 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 go over classroom rules and school rules 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 classes 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. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!
Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while 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(运动鞋). 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 be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
21. The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “_____”.
A. start B. study C. find D. teach
22. The last paragraphs mainly tell us about ________.
A. what to know about a new school
B. how to prepare for a new school
C. what to do on your first day of school
D. how to spend your first day of school
23. According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except _______.
A. introduce yourself B. learn about the school rules
C. make new friends D. go over your new lessons
24. If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you will feel ________
- 7 -
A. nervous B. lucky C. happy D. excited

It was the first snow of winter -- an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, l had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息), but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher at Princess Elizabeth School near Hamilton, Ontario, had been through first snow days many times in her long career(职业生涯), but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow pants. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots. In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out(伸出) my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much work, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced,“They’re on the wrong feet. ”With the patience that only experience can bring,she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again. Then I said,“These aren’t my boots. you know. ”As she pulled the boots from my feet,she still managed to look both helpful and interested. Once they were off. I said,“They are my brother’s boots. My mother makes me wear them,and I hate them!” Somehow,from long years of practice,she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl. She pushed less gently this time,and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. With a great sigh of relief,seeing the end of her struggle with me,she asked,“Now,where are your gloves?’’
I looked into her eyes and said. “I didn’t want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots. ”
25. According to the passage,the little girl got from her brother.
A. the wool snow pants and the jacket B. the jacket and the boots
C. the jacket and the hat D. the boots and the gloves
26. What made it so hard for the teacher to help the little girl put her boots on?
A. The gloves in the toes of the boots.
B. The slowness of the teacher.
C. The wrong size of the boots.
D. The unwillingness of the girl.
27. It can be inferred that before the little girl finally went out to enjoy the first snow of winter,the teacher had to help her put on her boots .
A. once B. twice C. three times D. four times
C
If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. Usually, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working,
- 7 -
a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.
“What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors.
“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers answered excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a lot of insects. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were laughing at them. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!”
Their goal was far too difficult, but it made them dig. And that is what a goal is for—to make us move in the direction we have chosen. In other words, it sets us to digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!” And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters.
28. The writer told us the story to ________ .
A. advise us to treats our failures fairly
B. persuade us to make an aim for our lives
C. encourage us to learn from the two brothers
D. prove that failure helps us make achievements
29. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Failure is the mother of success B. When there is a will, there is a way
C. No pains, no gains D. Joy in the journey
30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Digging a hole all the way through the earth is impossible.
B. The writer thinks that the two brothers will reach their goal one day.
C. A goal is something that makes us want to dig holes.
D. Everyone can succeed if he sets a practical goal.

_36_ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.
The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. _ 37_ Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.
Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _ 38_ All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.
_ 39 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.

So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started, you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!
A. That’s easy.
B. Enjoy your own club!
C. Invite a designer to join you.
