In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle schools, they are often worried about moving to the high schools. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their schools.
Even though they've done this already in the middle school, it's still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.
One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs accept students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请). The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.
What's more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.
1.How do most students feel when entering the high school?
A.Excited. B.Nervous.
C.Lonely. D.Disappointed.
2.When do many schools take students to visit their new high school?
A.Before the eighth grade year starts.
B.Right after the high school year starts.
C.At the end of the eighth grade year.
D.At the beginning of the new term in the high school.
3.What is the purpose of this text?
A.To tell the new students how to learn in the high school.
B.To introduce new schools.
C.To give the teachers some advice.
D.To give advice to new high school students.
B
I suffered from mental illness and depression when I was younger, and it totally affected my teenage years.But after a long struggle, I found a hobby that changed my life.
My depression really kicked in after my family moved to the UK when I was about 11 years old.Having to get used to life in a foreign country was very difficult.The friends I knew were gone, and the changes in my environment led to my depression.I had problems in many parts of my life, which made it impossible for me to carry on.
At that time, I didn't understand that depression was an illness.I remember a particular day when I couldn't find enough strength to get myself home from playing in the park—it felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders.
Other times, I felt so trapped.I never really reached out for help either, as I felt that there wasn't anyone who could have helped with my situation.
What turned my life around, however, was discovering street dancing.I was introduced to it by a friend, and I started taking classes at a studio in London.After a few weeks, I began to go out and meet a lot of other dancers to practice and train with them on a regular basis.It gave me a purpose, and eventually the happiness I gained from it helped me manage my depression.The dancing helped me get my life back, focus on my studies, and get through university.
My advice to anyone who might be going through something like I was is to reach out for help.The thing about life is that it changes, and you never know what might come your way.If someone had said to me during those dark moments that I would have gone on to achieve the things I have, I wouldn't have ever believed it.
Just take each day as it comes, and remember that there's always someone, or something, out there to help you.
4.How did the author deal with his depression at first?
A.He turned to his old friends for help.
B.He talked about it with his parents.
C.He put up with it by himself.
D.He read many articles about it.
5.How did street dancing benefit the author?
A.It helped him find a good job.
B.It taught him how to control his emotions perfectly.
C.It let him find many true friends.
D.It cheered him up and made him feel positive.
6.How might the author feel about his future?
A.Hopeful. B.Fearful.
C.Satisfied. D.Uncertain.
