【正文】 irts and white shirts, boys wore grey trousers, and everyone wore the school tie. Some of Sam39。s lessons were a bit strange for me. We were reading Shakespeare in the English lesson, and there were quite some old words like thou and thee to mean you. In history we studied 20th Century China. It was strange hearing a foreign side of history — and hearing English people trying to say all our Chinese names! Classes were also a lot more relaxing than in China. Teachers were called sir or miss, everyone shouted answers and raised their hands in classes. It was more like a debate than a class. A bell rang at the end of each lesson and everyone jumped up to go to the next class. At break we bought potato chips and cookies in the dining room. Lunch was later than in China at 1 o39。clock. We had big plates of pie with carrots. For dessert there was hot sweet rice called rice pudding. It was good that I39。d had an excellent lunch, because at Sam39。s school Monday afternoons are taken up with sports. I played my first game of netball — a bit like basketball, but with some differences. Luckily I39。d had a quick look in the rule book before I tried to join in the game.（1）Paragraph 2 shows that _______.A.They wear uniforms in Sam39。s schoolB.lessons are different between schools in China and the UKC.there is a break of 30 minutes every day in the schoolD.sports take up much lime in Sam39。s school（2）The underlined word debate ill Paragraph 4 means ____ .A.fightB.examC.discussionD.suggestion（3）What do they have for lunch at Sam39。s school39。?A.Pie and hot sweet rice.B.Potato chipsC.Cookies.D.Carrots.（4）What class do Sam have on Monday afternoon?A.MathsB.HistoryC.PED.Music（5）What39。s the best title for the passage?A.Relaxed classes in the UKB.Clothes, food and sports in a UK schoolC.Strange lessons in Sam39。s schoolD.A day in Sam39。s school14．閱讀理解 The other day, my 10yearold daughter Anna asked me, Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she e over tomorrow? Anna was a shy girl and I really wanted her to make some friends. I said yes, thinking back to my own best friend, Laura. We lived in the same street in a small town. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Laura drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny blonde hair and a big smile. In senior high school, Laura went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. I39。ll be back soon, she told me. But three days later, Laura39。s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and had not been saved. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears （眼淚） came into my eyes. Yesterday, Donna brought her new friend home. Hi, Mrs. Loggia. the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and blonde. She gave me a big smile, saying Nice to meet you. My name is Lillian.

That39。s why she has problems running freely or even walking quickly. On a beautiful spring day, at 4:00pm, she came home and told me that she joined in field day. On that day, students usually have lots of races, games, matches and petitions. They join in the field day and win prizes. Because of her brace, my mind raced, She must be very upset. What should I say to make her cheer up? So I tried to think of words of encouragement for my poor Sarah, things I could say to her about not letting this get her down—things I have heard many famous coaches tell the players when they were faced with defeat（失?。? but before I could say a word out, she looked up and said happily, Daddy, I won two of the races. I couldn39。t believe it! Then Sarah said, I had an advantage（優(yōu)勢(shì)）. Ahha. I knew it. She must have been given a head start……some kind of physical（身體上的） advantage. I thought in my mind. But again, before I could say anything, she said, Daddy, I didn39。t get a head start…My advantage was I had to try harder! （1）Sarah . A.is always very upsetB.always wears a braceC.has problems with her handD.is able to run freely（2）The underlined words get her down in paragraph 3 means__________.
