Passage 1(2018贵港)
Mahalya Daye is a student in Grade 8 at Lamberton Middle School in Pennsylvania, US. Every afternoon at 2 o'clock, she runs to a store at her school, she is not running to buy snacks. Instead, she works as the storekeeper and helps count change(零钱) for customers.
“I didn't know that it took so much work. I didn't do anything like this,” Mahalya told The Sentinel, a local newspaper.
In fact, she and another 11 students work as the storekeepers at Bison Bargains, the school's first studentrun store. It started on February 22, and it opens each school day during break time from 2 to 2∶30 p.m. It mainly sells stationery and snacks.
Through this, students see what a business is like. Christian Ilg, a 14yearold student, was really surprised by how hard it was to not make mistakes and do the transactions(交易). “It's kind of a challenge to learn all the information on the stock(供应物) lists and remember all the prices of the products,” Christian told the newspaper.
To help them learn about business, they took a class. The class taught students how to use money and some simple business rules.
The school did a survey on what products students would buy from a school store. In the future, they plan to sell things made by the students themselves. For example, students can sell their homemade pencil boxes and phone cases.

Passage 2(2018丽水)

A team is a group of people with a common goal. A school's football team has two goals. One goal is to win. That is what the team wants to do. The other goal is to build character. Character is what a person values, how a person gets along with others. That is why schools have football teams. They want to help students build good values.
Each team member builds character. They learn to cooperate(合作). They learn to make good decisions. They work hard. They practice every day. They learn to follow the rules.
Each team member has a position(位置). Each position is part of winning. No one player has the ability to win the game for the team. Only if the team works together does a team win. People often say, “There_is_no_I_in_TEAM.”
Whether the team wins or loses, at the end of the game they congratulate the other team. That is called sportsmanship. While they fight to win during the game, it is just a game. They cannot be angry with the other team. If they are, they'll hear from their coach.
__▲__ makes sure the team reaches the school's goal. The coach cares about the whole team. The coach gives each player advice. When the team wins, everyone celebrates. And the coach is glad. But after the season is over, the coach is still happy. The coach gets to see the players as they go to school every day. The character they have built is part of their success in school, too.
Some coaches say that if you go into a classroom at their school you'll be able to tell the players. It is not that they are bigger than the other students. It is the ones who are helping other students work. Teamwork is part of their lives.

Passage 3(2018乐山)
When we say a person blows his own trumpet(小号), we mean he talks a lot about his own achievements(成就). That expression usually shows disapproval(不赞成). But recently at a top private girls' school in Britain, students were encouraged to blow their own trumpet.
Some excellent girls are under a great deal of pressure(压力) and find it

difficult to accept their success. The purpose of the “Blow Your Own Trumpet” week was to help these students. “Some teenagers will continue to push themselves and never realise that they've done enough,” said Ms. Hanbury, head of Wimbledon High School in London, “Without being able to accept when things have gone right, some girls might never be happy”.
The school wanted to help the girls build an ability to get better from setbacks quickly, so they wouldn't think it was the end of the world if they didn't do well in an exam. In the “Blow Your Own Trumpet” week, students were encouraged to talk about their experiences of success and failure. They were also asked to think carefully about their achievements in each subject during lessons, make videos and act out plays to tell the stories of success and failure in classes.
Ms. Hanbury said she wanted her students to be confident in the things they're good at and to also know they're not good at everything. It was important for them to know their own strengths(长处) and weaknesses, she added. She also said girls needed to understand that being praised for achievements was quite different from showing off(炫耀).

A. likes playing musical instrument
