Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You’re nervous and that’s okay. Everyone is afraid of high school. ” I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends. On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle that I couldn’t figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be? I didn’t think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it! Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging. Since then, I’ve been elected(選舉)vice monitor of my class, which wasn’t much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions. It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is something that any student can overe. Make sure you participate in some outofclass activities because you’ll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn’t straight A’s. Most important of all, be who you are, whether you’re a “fool”, an athlete, or a lower grader. Don’t try to pretend to be someone you’re not. Now you know the true secrets of high school. 24. The main reason for the author’s fear on his first day is that ______. A. he was not familiar with the new surroundingsB. his schoolmates were unfriendly to himC. he was unable to work out the puzzleD. his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry25.

After his first week at school, the author ______. A. was still not accustomed to the scheduleB. was gradually used to the new schoolC. found high school not so challenging as he had imaginedD. ran for monitor of his class against three other students27. According to the passage, the secret of the author’s success lies mainly in ______. A. making more friendsB. getting more A’s at schoolC. being who he really isD. joining in outofclass activitiesCHonesty may well be the policy, but it often deserts us when no one is watching, psychologists report today. Experiments with an honesty box to collect payments for hot drinks show that people are better at paying up when under the gaze of a pair of eyes. The surprise was that the eyes were not real, but photographed. Researchers at Newcastle University set up the experiment in secret. They attached a poster to a cupboard of mugs above an honesty box alongside a kettle, with tea, coffee and milk. Over 10 weeks, they alternated each week between images of eyes and pictures of flowers. Dr. Bateson, a behavioral biologist and leader of the study, said that even though the eyes were not real they still seemed to make people behave more honestly. The effect may arise from behavioral characteristics that developed as early humans formed social groups that increased their chances of survival. Individuals had to cooperate for the good of the group, rather than act selfishly. “If nobody is watching us it is in our interests to behave selfishly. But when we think we’re being watched we should behave better, so people see us as cooperative and behave the same way towards us, ” Dr. Bateson said. “We thought we’d get a slight effect with eyes, by it was quite striking how much difference they made. Even at a subconscious level, it seems people respond to eyes, and that might be because eyes send a strong biological signal we have evolved(進化) to respond to. ”The finding, which researchers believe sheds light on our evolutionary past, could be turned to practical use. The psychologists say images of eyes could promote ticket sales on public transport and improve monitor systems to prevent antisocial behavior. 28. The reason for doing the experiment secretly is that the researchers ______. A. wanted to get a paratively more exact resultB. had known they wanted to do something illegallyC. meant to get the cooperation of their colleaguesD. intended to sell the hot drinks at a higher
