Parents meetings may be your worst nightmare （噩夢(mèng)）. However， thats not always the case. The parents meeting we had after our mid-term examinations， for instance， couldnt have been more surprising.

Sitting in our chairs next to our parents， we felt like we were on pins and needles， expecting a final outburst when they examined our grades and rankings. However， our teacher came to our rescue. He told our parents the stress we faced in our daily school lives and how hard we had worked for the college entrance examination. “No matter the score， they all studied very hard and each one of them has made progress. They deserve encouragement rather than blame，” he said. When they heard these words， many parents nodded， their anger gone. Well， to be honest， we hadnt worked that hard before the meeting， but we decided we would try our best to live up to our teachers expectations after it.

Another highlight of this parents meeting was when our parents read our letters that we had written in advance. In our daily lives， we are so busy doing homework and preparing for exams that we hardly have time to communicate with our parents. Yet this parents meeting gave us an opportunity to show our appreciation. In the letters， we expressed our love for them and gratitude for everything they had done for us. Many parents burst into tears after reading their childrens letters.

So you see， our parents meetings may not be as bad as we think. They could be opportunities to bring us closer to our parents.

What do you want to be when you grow up？ A teacher？ A doctor？ How about an ice-cream taster？

Yes， there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison， an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a products quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors （味道）.

Some people think that it would be easy to do this job： after all， you just have to like ice cream， right？ No—theres more to the job than that， says Harrison， who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.

In a typical morning on the job， Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples （樣品）. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains， “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream， which is why some kids like to stir it， creating ice-cream soup.”

While the ice cream warms up， Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes，” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself， “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor？” Next its time to taste！

Continuing to think up new ideas， try out new flavors， and test samples from so many kinds of ice-cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy—working at one cool job.

5. What is John Harrisons job？

A. An official.

B. A chemist.

C. An ice-cream taster.

D. An ice-cream manufacturer.

6. What is helpful to be qualified in the cool field according to Harrison？

A. Keep a diary of work.

B. Have new ideas every day.

C. Find out new flavors each day.

D. Have a degree in related subjects.

7. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream？

A. He stirs it.

B. He lets it warm up.

C. He tastes the flavor of it .

D. He examines the color of it.

8. What can be a suitable title for the text？

A. Flavors of Ice Cream B. John Harrisons Life

C. Tasting with Eyes D. One Cool Job

We have some friends who seem as if they understand and appreciate you， but really they might not. A girl named Nevaeh was about to find a friend that she thought understood her， but she actually didnt.

When Nevaeh was in kindergarten she didnt have friends. Every time she wanted to make some they would just walk away. That happened until she went to the third grade when a girl named Brooke said hello to her.

Nevaeh， a shy girl， didnt answer. Since Nevaeh had no friends to talk to， her mouth would close up. After knowing Nevaeh was shy and needed friends， Brooke wouldnt leave Nevaehs side and always talked to her. Nevaeh started talking more and was less shy. Once Brooke took her to her friends. There were only three girls， Karla， Mariana， and Isela， but Nevaeh was fine with it. At least she had friends.

They got along very well and had a few things in common. When they were finally in middle school， Brooke and Nevaeh became best friends， but as they got older， they changed.

They had arguments about the way Nevaeh wanted to look， and how Brooke didnt like what she wore.

Nevaeh wasnt sure if she could really trust Brooke anymore. That was until she met Susan who understood Nevaeh and didnt judge her by her looks， but had the same interests as Nevaeh. They liked to dress in the same kinds of things and had similar hobbies.

Nevaeh really liked Susan because she never judged her. When they were talking about their interests， it was like they had known each other for a long time.

When you were a kid， did you ever draw pictures in the dirt with sticks？ There is a man named Stan Herd who is very skilled at playing in dirt！

Stan Herd was born into a family of farmers in 1950 and grew up in a very small town in Southwest Kansas. He was a talented painter. When he started doing murals （壁畫） he realized he enjoyed doing a huge work of art. Then， while flying over a field once， he got the idea of using the earth as his canvas （畫布）. In 1976， he returned to farming roots and invented a new form of artwork called “crop art” or “Earthworks”. Herd is the first known American to use the earth as canvas.

To create these giant designs， Herd usually starts by making an outline （輪廓） with bricks. After that， he begins filling in the area with materials. These can range from different colors of dirt， sand， and rocks to different types of plants and flowers. Herd often uses local volunteers to help with his projects because his projects are too big for just one person. While he is creating his pieces， he sometimes looks at them by going up in a hot air balloon， but usually he just creates his work based on his previous experience.

Herds personal artwork frequently focuses on the theme of farm life. Herd comes from a family of farmers. His art aims to show respect for their hard work. He has also devoted his time to creating an earthen medicine wheel at Haskell Indian Nations University—a big project that he is very proud of. Through years of practice， he created his own art form by combining his farm upbringing with his love of art.

5. Herd thought of using crop fields as his canvas when ___ .

A. he was working in a field

B. he was creating a large mural

C. he was drawing pictures in the dirt

D. he was flying over a field by plane

6. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？

A. How Herd creates his works.

B. How Herd helps local volunteers.

C. How Herd gets the ideas for his designs.

D. How Herd has a birds-eye view of his works.

7. Why did Herd use farm life as the theme of his works？

A. He had deep feelings about it.

B. He had lived on a farm for a long time.

C. He thought it would make him popular.

D. He was influenced by local painting traditions.

8. According to the last paragraph， what words can best describe Herd？

A. Popular but serious.

B. Friendly and honest.

C. Talented and hard-working.

D. Talented but narrow-minded.

For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful. Here are some reasons for it.

First of all， the Finnish government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool. Compulsory education usually begins when children are seven years old.? When they are not with the students， they spend their time working on lesson preparation.

And Finland selects its teachers very carefully as it only takes the best to educate its youth. For example， only talented students go on to a university and receive a masters degree in education.

Although schools in Finland are small， teachers are trying to respond to the needs of each student. In some cases， they know every student in their school. As a matter of fact， most of the students get extra help from their teachers in their elementary school years.

All Finnish children， whether they come from a rich or poor family， have the same opportunities in education.? Because two thirds of Finnish students who finish compulsory education will move on to higher education.

Finlands school system was once influenced by the Soviet Union. At that time， most students left school after six years of learning.? However， in the middle of the 1960s， the Finnish government realized the need to change their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive.

A. And the teachers are willing to help them.

B. Teaching in Finland is a highly admired job.

C. Only the wealthy ones got a better education.

D. Students learn Swedish as their second language.

E. Finlands schools are supported by the government.

F.Students have few differences in their educational choices.

G.Teachers work with their students in school as much as possible.

American Senior High School Life

美國的高中生活

In America， after junior high school comes senior high school， which includes grades 9 through 12. Students are required to take certain subjects like English， social studies， math， science， and physical education. In addition， they choose among elective subjects to complete their high school education. Elective subjects include technology， music， art， and foreign languages.

Each student in the school has their own locker for books and personal items. This convenience saves students from carrying textbooks， and allows students a small space they can decorate with posters and favorite objects.

Cheating in any form is strictly prohibited in American schools. And in fact， high school students usually dont cheat. A student caught in plagiarism， forgery， or copying another student faces severe discipline， even expulsion.

在美國，初中學(xué)業(yè)一結(jié)束就進(jìn)入高中。高中包括9到12年級(jí)，學(xué)生們要完成某些必修課，如英語、社會(huì)學(xué)、數(shù)學(xué)、自然科學(xué)和體育。此外，學(xué)生們選修一些課程來完成高中教育，選修科目有科技、音樂、美術(shù)和外語。

每位學(xué)生在學(xué)校都有自己的儲(chǔ)物柜，用來存放書本或私人物品。這很方便，學(xué)生們不需要攜帶課本，而且還使得他們有個(gè)小小的空間，可以裝飾海報(bào)及心愛之物。

任何形式的作弊在美國學(xué)校里都是嚴(yán)令禁止的。事實(shí)上，高中生們一般不會(huì)作弊。若學(xué)生在剽竊、弄虛作假或抄其他學(xué)生的作業(yè)時(shí)被發(fā)現(xiàn)，都會(huì)受到嚴(yán)厲的處分，甚至是開除。

Each school holds certain yearly activities for the entire school body， such as homecoming， prom night and holiday celebrations.

Homecoming is celebrated each fall， usually on a weekend， and events leading up to it may last all week. While homecoming is celebrated differently at each school， it usually includes a parade and the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen， and ends with a football game and school dance.

The prom is a formal dance for students in grades 11 and 12， and is generally anticipated as the most important social event of the school year. It can also be a time of anxiety， as boys have to work up the courage to ask a date to the prom， and girls hope the right boy invites them. These couples dress in formal clothes—girls in long gowns， boys in suits. At the prom， students dance， have snacks and drinks， and chat. Prom usually ends with a Prom King and Queen being announced and crowned on stage before an envious audience.

各學(xué)校每年都會(huì)舉辦一些全校性活動(dòng)，如返校節(jié)、學(xué)年舞會(huì)、節(jié)日慶典等。

返校節(jié)在每年秋季舉辦，通常選在周末，相關(guān)活動(dòng)可能持續(xù)一周。每所學(xué)校舉辦返校節(jié)的方式有所不同，不過通常都包括游行、返校節(jié)“舞會(huì)國王”與“舞會(huì)王后”的加冕，并以橄欖球賽及全校性舞會(huì)來壓軸。

學(xué)年舞會(huì)是為11和12年級(jí)學(xué)生舉辦的正式舞會(huì)。學(xué)生通常會(huì)把它看成是學(xué)年中最重要的社交活動(dòng)。這也是令人焦躁不安的時(shí)刻，因?yàn)槟泻⒆觽兊霉淖阌職鈱ふ椅璋槿⒓舆@個(gè)舞會(huì)，而女孩子們則希望自己的意中人能向自己發(fā)出邀請(qǐng)。男生女生要著正式服裝（女孩子穿長(zhǎng)禮服，男孩子著西裝）。舞會(huì)上，學(xué)生們翩翩起舞、吃點(diǎn)心、喝飲料、輕松地閑聊。舞會(huì)臨近尾聲時(shí)，會(huì)公布“舞會(huì)國王”及“舞會(huì)王后”的名字。在一群艷羨的觀眾前，“國王”和“王后”登臺(tái)加冕。
