I notice that the German education system is a little bit different from the British education system. At first, these differences seem quite strange to me! Here are three main differences. 1. The early start. In the UK, school starts at about 9:00 a.m. However, German schools start much earlier! My students have to be in their classes by 7:35 a.m. That means they have to wake up very early on schooldays! I can imagine the early starts are very tiring. 2. The breakfast break. British students always have their breakfast before going to school. This doesn’t happen in Germany! German kids eat their breakfast after the first lesson of the day. During a special breakfast break, they usually have yogurt, some fruit and sandwiches. 3. No uniforms. British students often wear shirts and ties to school. However, German kids can wear jeans and T-shirts. In my opinion, this is the coolest thing about German schools! Most students don’t like wearing uniforms because they think they are not beautiful. They are so ugly and uncomfortable. 36. The writer finds that the education systems in Britain and Germany are ________. A. different B. interesting C. tiring D. boring 37. When do schools in Germany start? A. At 7:00 a.m. B. At 7:35 a.m. C. At 8:35 a.m. D. At 9:00 a.m. 38. In Britain students always have breakfast ________. A. before going to school B. on the way to school C. during classes D. during a special break 39. What does the underlined word “ugly” mean in Chinese? A. 昂贵的 B. 便宜的 C. 难看的 D. 漂亮的 40. The passage is mainly about ________. A. the education system in Germany B. the breakfast time in Germany and Britain C. the reasons for going to school in Germany D. the differences between the British education system and the German education system (C) One day James came up to Dick and said, “Look what I’ve found in Mr. Trotter’s rubbish bin!” It was a piece of paper. On it were some test questions for history. “That’s our history paper. I am sure of it,” said James. “It’s Mr. Trotter’s handwriting.” “Yes, I think so,” said Dick. “I’ll sell the paper for $1.00 to each of our classmates,” said James. So in the next three days he went round the class and sold the “test paper” to his classmates. James felt happy because he got $40.00. All the students were sure that these questions would be in the test paper. The questions were quite difficult so they had to work hard on them. The day for the exam came. Mr. Trotter walked into the classroom. “History test,” he said and then he gave out the test paper. Oh dear! It was different from the paper that James had found. None of the questions were the same. None of the students did well. James had to give all the money back to his classmates. Ever since he has never looked in teacher’s rubbish bins again. 41. Who wrote the test questions on the paper? A. Mr. Trotter. B. James. C. Dick. D. The headmaster. 42. At the end of the test, James got ________ from his classmates A. $40.00 B. $1.00 C. no money D. some money 43.

Recently a survey is made among 100 students. We can get some information from the survey. Only ten percent of the students often do housework. About twenty-five percent students do housework sometimes. And the rest of students seldom or never do housework. This result takes me by surprise. According to the survey, forty percent of students dislike doing housework and eighteen percent of them say that their parents don’t allow them to do housework. I think sharing the housework is helpful for parents. As for students, we can get a lot of practice by sharing the housework. And we can take care of ourselves better when we grow up. So I think that students should often share the housework in our daily life. 请仔细阅读以上短文，然后根据其内容回答问题。 71. How many students were surveyed? _________________________________ 72.
