Different school lives
Toby is an exchange student from the USA and is studying at Sunshine Middle School now. He is comparing his school in the USA with Sunshine Middle School. Read what he wrote and answer the questions below.
My school back home in the USA is quite different from Sunshine Middle School.
Our classes are not as big as the ones here, and we have fewer students in each class. Here, students stay in their own classroom for most of their lessons. In the USA, we usually go to different classrooms to have different lessons. However, students here do not change classrooms as often as we do. So, they spend more time with their classmates and get to know each other better, but we get to know more students.
Students here have students’ books for most of their subjects, but we only have textbooks for a few subjects. We often need to borrow books from the library or search online to finish our homework.
1 How is Sunshine Middle School different from Toby’s school in the USA?
2 What do you think of Toby’s school in the USA?
1. 辨析:one,that与it

②that表特指,与所指名词同类,但不是同一个;可代替上文提到的事物,也可代替不可数名词。
The population of China is larger than that of America.中图的人口比关国的人口多。
③it用于指代前文提到过的同一事物。
—Do you like the game?
—Yes, I like it.
2. search
①vi. 搜索,查找 search for = look for
②vt. 搜索,查找 search sb对某人搜身 search sp. 对某地进行搜查 search...for...搜查……找……
③n. 寻找;搜索;搜查 in search of sth.
Today I had an interesting chat with my Chinese friend Millie. We talked about the differences in (1) between our two ______________ schools.
In the USA, we only have a few dishes to choose from, and sometimes we just have a ______________ and a snack like fruit or cookies.
Also, I don’t always eat with a fork or a spoon. I know how to use chopsticks now.
Millie: What makes your school life special, Toby?
Toby: For me, I’d say it’s the school clubs. There are lots to choose from, so everybody can find a great club. I’m a member of the Tennis Club, and I love practising with my partner to win matches. What about you, Millie?
Millie: I think it’s my school friends. I like to spend time with them. We have many happy moments together. My days are never boring with so many friends.
Toby: That’s really nice.
3. bored - boring
I felt bored because the film was boring.
Read Millie’s suggestion letter to the head teacher of Sunshine Middle School.
Dear Mr Zhang,
I am writing to make some suggestions on how to improve some parts of our school life.
First, I would like to suggest that our school should provide more ping-pong tables, so more students can play ping-pong during breaks. Second, I think we should have more books in the library because the library is a great place for us to enjoy reading and open our minds. Moreover, we need more computers in the library so that it is easier for us to search online.
I hope my suggestions help improve our school life.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Xinyue

阅读下面短文,从各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
One day after school, I went to the teacher’s office to see my teacher, but nobody was there. As I was going to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and saw the words “FINAL-TERM-EXAMINAT-ION” at the top. There was nobody else around. So I put the paper into my school bag 1 and ran out of the room.
After I came back home, I took out the paper quickly. It was the exam paper of my 2 subject, History. I wasn’t good at this subject. I felt excited. I took out my History book and started 3 on the answer. I never answered any questions so carefully.
On the day of the History exam, I went into the exam hall happily. When the paper was sent to me, I dreamt of 4 the highest points in the whole grade and could not stop smiling. “My History teacher always told me to work harder and do better in this subject, but I couldn’t make him happy again and again. This time I will give him a big 5 ,” I thought.
When the teacher said we could start, I turned the paper over. To my surprise, all the questions were 6 . Later I felt nervous (紧张的). In the end, I almost didn’t answer any question. After the exam, I ran to the 7 , took out the paper and carefully read it from the beginning. Oh! It was last year’s exam paper. I read all the questions but I didn’t read the 8 .
This is a lesson in which I know I have to put my feet on the 9 . I regretted (后悔) doing such a silly thing. After that, I told my 10 the secret and I promised (承诺) to be honest. From then on, I worked harder than ever before.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Trick 1: Cheese Touch
When I got to school today, everybody was acting strangely around me, and at first I didn’t know what was up. Then I remembered: I still had the Cheese Touch from last year. I got the Cheese Touch in the last week of school, and over the summer I forgot about it.
The problem with the Cheese Touch is that you’ll have it until you can pass it on to someone else by touching them. But nobody would even like to get close to me and talk to me. Every time they saw me, they screamed “Ah ~ Greg Heffley is coming!” I knew the Cheese Touch would stick (粘) with me all through the school year. Luckily, a new kid named Jeremy Pindle was in the classroom, so I passed the Cheese Touch to him.
Trick 2: The First Letter
My first class was math, and the teacher put me right next to Alex Aruda, the cleverest kid in the whole class. If the kids’ last names start with the first few letters of the alphabet (字母表), the teacher will call them most, and that’s why they end up being the cleverest.
I can only think of one kid. He broke the last-name rule, and that’s Peter Uteger. Peter was the cleverest kid in the class all the way up until the fifth grade. When we kept saying his first letter out loud, it sounded funny. This gave Peter a difficult time. These days, Peter doesn’t put up his hand at all, and he’s more like a C student. I feel a little bad about the whole P.U. thing and what happened to Peter.
1. The Cheese Touch is _________ popular with primary school students.
A. a classroom rule B. a school subject
C. a traditional festival D. a children’s game
2. If a kid gets the Cheese Touch, _________.
A. other kids will try to keep away from him
B. the teacher will call him most often in class
C. he will have it all through the school year
D. he will become the most popular kid at school
3. What happened to Peter in the end?
A. He often laughed at other children in his class.
B. He disliked to answer the teacher’s questions.
C. He didn’t listen carefully to the teacher in class
D. He left school because he broke the school rules.
4. How did the writer feel about what happened to Peter?
A. Excited. B. Funny. C. Sorry. D. Surprised.

As you know, homework is a big part of going to school. Luckily, here are several suggestions for you to make homework easy.
Make a homework plan
Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule (进度表), especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school.
Watch where you work
A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But don’t study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there.
Take a break
Most people’s attention (注意力) don’t last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive (多产的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people.
Get help when you need it
Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand. However, this might not give you the results you want. Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it.
回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过6个词。
1. Why can’t we do homework on the comfortable bed?
2. How long can we take a rest after doing an hour of homework?
3. Who can you ask for help if you find some subjects hard to learn?
4. How many suggestions are there in the passage to make your homework easy?
5. How do you make your homework easy? (请自拟一句话回答)
1. Because we might fall asleep there.
2. For 15 minutes.
3. The teacher and classmates.
4. Four.
5. I often make plans for it.
Hello, I’m Tom. I come from Cuba (古巴), but recently I moved to China. I started a new school life here. It was a big change for me because the school life in China is quite 1 (difference) from that in Cuba.
School in China starts at 8: 00 a.m. and 2 (end) at 4: 50 p.m. The new school is much 3 (good) than my old school in Cuba, such as it is bigger and more beautiful than my old one. I thought that I might be lost in the first week. 4 (Luck), my new classmate Zhang Bin is very friendly. He 5 (offer) to show me around the school when we are free.
In China, we don’t have so much homework 6 (do) every day. If I listen to the teachers carefully, I can finish my homework quickly. 7 (keep) healthy, our school provides us with sports instruments to exercise, so we can spend our free time 8 (play) ping-pong, basketball or running. Sometimes we like to listen to pop music and watch 9 (video) at home.
Time flies so quickly and I have been in the new school for two months. I get many students’ help. I start enjoying my school life here. I am always 10 (have) so much fun!

Different school lives
Toby is an exchange student from the USA and is studying at Sunshine Middle School now. He is comparing his school in the USA with Sunshine Middle School. Read what he wrote and answer the questions below.
My school back home in the USA is quite different from Sunshine Middle School.
Our classes are not as big as the ones here, and we have fewer students in each class. Here, students stay in their own classroom for most of their lessons. In the USA, we usually go to different classrooms to have different lessons. However, students here do not change classrooms as often as we do. So, they spend more time with their classmates and get to know each other better, but we get to know more students.
Students here have students’ books for most of their subjects, but we only have textbooks for a few subjects. We often need to borrow books from the library or search online to finish our homework.
1 How is Sunshine Middle School different from Toby’s school in the USA?

Also, I don’t always eat with a fork or a spoon. I know how to use chopsticks now.
Millie: What makes your school life special, Toby?
Toby: For me, I’d say it’s the school clubs. There are lots to choose from, so everybody can find a great club. I’m a member of the Tennis Club, and I love practising with my partner to win matches. What about you, Millie?
Millie: I think it’s my school friends. I like to spend time with them. We have many happy moments together. My days are never boring with so many friends.
Toby: That’s really nice.

I felt bored because the film was boring.
Read Millie’s suggestion letter to the head teacher of Sunshine Middle School.
Dear Mr Zhang,
I am writing to make some suggestions on how to improve some parts of our school life.
First, I would like to suggest that our school should provide more ping-pong tables, so more students can play ping-pong during breaks. Second, I think we should have more books in the library because the library is a great place for us to enjoy reading and open our minds. Moreover, we need more computers in the library so that it is easier for us to search online.
I hope my suggestions help improve our school life.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Xinyue

能力拓展
阅读下面短文,从各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
One day after school, I went to the teacher’s office to see my teacher, but nobody was there. As I was going to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and saw the words “FINAL-TERM-EXAMINAT-ION” at the top. There was nobody else around. So I put the paper into my school bag 1 and ran out of the room.
After I came back home, I took out the paper quickly. It was the exam paper of my 2 subject, History. I wasn’t good at this subject. I felt excited. I took out my History book and started 3 on the answer. I never answered any questions so carefully.
On the day of the History exam, I went into the exam hall happily. When the paper was sent to me, I dreamt of 4 the highest points in the whole grade and could not stop smiling. “My History teacher always told me to work harder and do better in this subject, but I couldn’t make him happy again and again. This time I will give him a big 5 ,” I thought.
When the teacher said we could start, I turned the paper over. To my surprise, all the questions were 6 . Later I felt nervous (紧张的). In the end, I almost didn’t answer any question. After the exam, I ran to the 7 , took out the paper and carefully read it from the beginning. Oh! It was last year’s exam paper. I read all the questions but I didn’t read the 8 .
This is a lesson in which I know I have to put my feet on the 9 . I regretted (后悔) doing such a silly thing. After that, I told my 10 the secret and I promised (承诺) to be honest. From then on, I worked harder than ever before.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Trick 1: Cheese Touch
When I got to school today, everybody was acting strangely around me, and at first I didn’t know what was up. Then I remembered: I still had the Cheese Touch from last year. I got the Cheese Touch in the last week of school, and over the summer I forgot about it.
The problem with the Cheese Touch is that you’ll have it until you can pass it on to someone else by touching them. But nobody would even like to get close to me and talk to me. Every time they saw me, they screamed “Ah ~ Greg Heffley is coming!” I knew the Cheese Touch would stick (粘) with me all through the school year. Luckily, a new kid named Jeremy Pindle was in the classroom, so I passed the Cheese Touch to him.
Trick 2: The First Letter
My first class was math, and the teacher put me right next to Alex Aruda, the cleverest kid in the whole class. If the kids’ last names start with the first few letters of the alphabet (字母表), the teacher will call them most, and that’s why they end up being the cleverest.
I can only think of one kid. He broke the last-name rule, and that’s Peter Uteger. Peter was the cleverest kid in the class all the way up until the fifth grade. When we kept saying his first letter out loud, it sounded funny. This gave Peter a difficult time. These days, Peter doesn’t put up his hand at all, and he’s more like a C student. I feel a little bad about the whole P.U. thing and what happened to Peter.
1. The Cheese Touch is _________ popular with primary school students.
A. a classroom rule B. a school subject
C. a traditional festival D. a children’s game
2. If a kid gets the Cheese Touch, _________.
A. other kids will try to keep away from him
B. the teacher will call him most often in class
C. he will have it all through the school year
D. he will become the most popular kid at school
3. What happened to Peter in the end?
A. He often laughed at other children in his class.
B. He disliked to answer the teacher’s questions.
C. He didn’t listen carefully to the teacher in class
D. He left school because he broke the school rules.
4. How did the writer feel about what happened to Peter?
A. Excited. B. Funny. C. Sorry. D. Surprised.
As you know, homework is a big part of going to school. Luckily, here are several suggestions for you to make homework easy.
Make a homework plan
Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule (进度表), especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school.
Watch where you work
A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But don’t study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there.
Take a break
Most people’s attention (注意力) don’t last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive (多产的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people.
Get help when you need it
Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand. However, this might not give you the results you want. Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it.
回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过6个词。
1. Why can’t we do homework on the comfortable bed?
2. How long can we take a rest after doing an hour of homework?
3. Who can you ask for help if you find some subjects hard to learn?
4. How many suggestions are there in the passage to make your homework easy?
5. How do you make your homework easy? (请自拟一句话回答)
Hello, I’m Tom. I come from Cuba (古巴), but recently I moved to China. I started a new school life here. It was a big change for me because the school life in China is quite 1 (difference) from that in Cuba.
