To make it more comfortable, many middle and high schools use foldable (可折叠的) desks and chairs. However, not all of these desks and chairs are well designed—some are the wrong size or shape, and their poor design may even cause discomfort or harm to students. To solve this, a new national rule was rolled out on Sept 2. It explains clearly how to make and use foldable desks and chairs correctly. In primary schools, desks should be between 45.5 and 73 centimeters tall. In middle schools, they should be between 56.5 and 79 cm tall. Chairs should be at least 36 cm wide to help students sit well. For naps, the chairs can be turned into a bed. A bed should be at least 105 cm long, and the backrest (靠背) should lean back more than 135 degrees. The desks and chairs must also be strong. For example, a chair can be folded up to 10,000 times. They should also be easy to clean. If ink gets on them, students should be able to clean it with an eraser. The new rule will take effect on Feb 1 next year. Before that, experts said that schools still need to think about a few things. For example, do the new desks fit in different classrooms? And are they good for classes with many students? 1．What is the new national rule about? 2．What are two requirements (要求) for the desks and chairs besides (除了) size and shape? 3．Do you want to take a nap with such desks and chairs? Why or why not? 【答案】1．It’s about how to make and use foldable desks and chairs correctly. 2．They must be strong and easy to clean. 3．Yes. Because such desks and chairs are well-designed to be comfortable and safe, which can help me relax better during naps./No. Because I prefer to nap on the desk directly and these foldable ones may be inconvenient to use. 【导语】本文主要介绍了为解决可折叠桌椅设计不佳问题，9月2日出台新国标明确其正确制作与使用方式，且该标准将于明年2月1日生效，生效前学校仍需考虑一些事项。 1．根据“To solve this, a new national rule was rolled out on Sept 2. It explains clearly how to make and use foldable desks and chairs correctly.”可知，9月2日出台了一项新的国家规定，它清楚地说明了如何正确制作和使用可折叠桌椅。故填It’s about how to make and use foldable desks and chairs correctly. 2．根据“The desks and chairs must also be strong.”以及“They should also be easy to clean.”可知，桌椅除了尺寸和形状外，还必须坚固且易于清洁。故填They must be strong and easy to clean. 3．开放性试题，言之有理即可。故填Yes. Because such desks and chairs are well-designed to be comfortable and safe, which can help me relax better during naps./No. Because I prefer to nap on the desk directly and these foldable ones may be inconvenient to use. This year, Chinese schools have introduced a special program called “the Extended Recess Activity (大课间)” to help students stay healthy and happy. This activity usually lasts 30 minutes every morning and afternoon. During the 30 minutes, students can walk out of the classrooms to relax, exercise and chat with friends. In Shaanxi Province, many schools organize fun games like rope jumping, relay races and group dances during the Extended Recess Activity. Teachers and students often play together happily. For example, a middle school in Baoji enjoys traditional Chinese exercises like Tai Chi or modern sports like basketball. The school also holds competitions, such as “the most creative class activity” to encourage teamwork. Studies show that these activities not only improve students’ physical health but also reduce their stress. A student named Li Ming shared, “Before the Extended Recess Activity, I felt tired after classes. Now, I feel refreshed and focus better on lessons.” A healthy body and mind are basic to learning. And the Extended Recess Activity helps students build lifelong habits of keeping active and working together. 1．How long does the Extended Recess Activity usually last each time? 2．What does the Extended Recess Activity bring to students? 3．Do you like the Extended Recess Activity? Why? Or why not? 【答案】1．It usually lasts 30 minutes each time. 2．It brings students improved physical health and reduced stress. 3．Yes, I do. Because it helps me stay healthy and happy and makes me focus better on lessons. 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国学校今年推出的“大课间”特别活动，旨在帮助学生保持健康和快乐。 1．根据“This activity usually lasts 30 minutes every morning and afternoon.”可知，大课间活动每次通常持续30分钟。故填It usually lasts 30 minutes each time. 2．根据“Studies show that these activities not only improve students’ physical health but also reduce their stress.”可知，大课间活动不仅改善学生的身体健康，还减轻他们的压力。故填It brings students improved physical health and reduced stress. 3．主观开放题。答案合理即可。参考答案为Yes, I do. Because it helps me stay healthy and happy and makes me focus better on lessons. 阅读短文，按要求回答问题。 In Chiang Mai, Thailand, middle school students have a colorful school life full of fun.

Can you imagine going to school on a boat? That is just what students at a Bangladeshi boat school do! Every morning, a boat travels along the river and picks them up. When all the students are on board, the boat stops at the side of the river and the class begins. Bangladeshi boat schools aren’t just an interesting idea—they are necessary for many local children.

In many Chinese cities, primary and middle schools have made class breaks longer from 10 to 15 minutes since the fall semester (学期) started. The governments (政府) want students and teachers to do more outdoor activities. Before, Chinese schools usually had 10-minute breaks. But it was not enough time for students, especially those in tall buildings, to go outside and play. Sometimes, schools didn’t let students leave the classroom during breaks because they were worried about safety. Now, local education departments (部门) are trying to make school schedules better. They want students to have at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. In Beijing, primary schools’ morning and afternoon times haven’t changed. Middle schools end five minutes later. In Wuxi, Jiangsu, schools have 15-minute breaks and one PE class every day. Students must do at least 100 minutes of exercise at school. The education officer said this helps students play outside and talk to each other. They want to give break time back to students. A Qingdao primary school has many outdoor games like jump rope and hula hoop, and indoor puzzles during 15-minute breaks.

But now that is different. “I can have more time to rest and share interesting things with my classmates,” said the 14-year-old. “Starting this autumn term, students at primary and middle schools in Beijing have a longer break between two classes, from 10 minutes to 15 minutes, so students can spend more time outside. To help children better enjoy break-time activities, some schools mixed break time with labor education by opening planting areas and animal breeding zones (饲养区). “We have welcomed new friends to our school—some ducks and rabbits!” said Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing 101 Middle School Kuangda Campus. “During the breaks, some play with these cute animals, while others exercise on the playground. We get closer to nature, which is refreshing (令人耳目一新的) and relaxing.” As the break time is longer, making sure everyone is safe (安全的) is also important. P.

But for Jason, it’s a bit different. He can’t wait to get home and start working on his candle-making business. Jason began creating candles because the candles he bought gave mom headaches. He was only eight years old at the time. He thought there must be a way to make a safe and all-natural candle. So, he set out to find a cleaner and more natural way to make a candle that his mom could enjoy. He was very interested in the process and the chemistry behind making the candles. Later, he found a kind of wax (蜡) that was chemical-free. He also found natural oils to add scent (香味). With the support of his mom, he started an online store in 2020. His online orders began picking up. In the fall of 2022, he opened a store at a local shopping centre. Now people can buy his candles both online and at the store. The store also sells soaps which are made by Vicky, Jason’s little sister. She was inspired (鼓舞) by her brother to make her own handmade products.

His mother is proud of her son and loves to spend time with him as his business grows. She says it is really inspiring to see how his mind works. Jason has a big goal and an even bigger heart.

Reading together with others, known as buddy (同伴) reading, will make this journey even more fantastic. During the journey, the buddies spend time doing a lot of reading activities. This not only adds to the pleasure of reading but also deepens their understanding of the books. Although it is all right to have students join in buddy reading with same-aged schoolmates, schools usually pair up older students with younger ones. In 2021, Green School started such a program and has achieved a great success. Both younger and older readers in this school have learned a lot from this two-year reading program. For example, when they listened to each other, they learned to be kind and patient. This experience also provided them with a chance to practice lifelong skills such as exercising leadership or communicating with others. A student called Jason said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more confident, as he knew he was a role model for someone. The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt more connected as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway. Now summer vacation is coming. It’s a great time to get into books. Why not pair up with a friend, choose a book you both like and read it together? 1．What is buddy reading? 2．When did Green School start such a program? 3．How long was the program? 4．What did Jason think of reading to a younger buddy? 5．Do you like reading?

To make it more comfortable, many middle and high schools use foldable (可折叠的) desks and chairs. However, not all of these desks and chairs are well designed—some are the wrong size or shape, and their poor design may even cause discomfort or harm to students. To solve this, a new national rule was rolled out on Sept 2. It explains clearly how to make and use foldable desks and chairs correctly. In primary schools, desks should be between 45.5 and 73 centimeters tall. In middle schools, they should be between 56.5 and 79 cm tall. Chairs should be at least 36 cm wide to help students sit well. For naps, the chairs can be turned into a bed. A bed should be at least 105 cm long, and the backrest (靠背) should lean back more than 135 degrees. The desks and chairs must also be strong. For example, a chair can be folded up to 10,000 times. They should also be easy to clean. If ink gets on them, students should be able to clean it with an eraser. The new rule will take effect on Feb 1 next year. Before that, experts said that schools still need to think about a few things. For example, do the new desks fit in different classrooms? And are they good for classes with many students? 1．What is the new national rule about? 2．What are two requirements (要求) for the desks and chairs besides (除了) size and shape? 3．Do you want to take a nap with such desks and chairs? Why or why not? This year, Chinese schools have introduced a special program called “the Extended Recess Activity (大课间)” to help students stay healthy and happy. This activity usually lasts 30 minutes every morning and afternoon. During the 30 minutes, students can walk out of the classrooms to relax, exercise and chat with friends. In Shaanxi Province, many schools organize fun games like rope jumping, relay races and group dances during the Extended Recess Activity. Teachers and students often play together happily. For example, a middle school in Baoji enjoys traditional Chinese exercises like Tai Chi or modern sports like basketball. The school also holds competitions, such as “the most creative class activity” to encourage teamwork.

Their learning is usually connected with local culture—especially with elephants. They don’t just learn subjects such as Math and English, they have some special courses that mix their study with real-life. One popular course is “Thai dance”. In the class, students wear bright traditional clothes and learn gentle moves to soft music. Another meaningful course is “elephant education and protection”. Some schools work with nearby sanctuaries (保护区). Students don’t just read about elephants—they visit, learn how to feed them healthy food like bananas and sugarcane, and clean their living areas. Teachers also talk about why elephants need protection and how students can help. After class, they join activities like sepak takraw (a game played with feet) or art clubs. Sometimes, they even make crafts with recycled materials to raise money for elephant sanctuaries. In this way, students not only can get knowledge, but also can love their culture and protect nature. 注意：每小题答案不超过8个单词。（3题答案不限词数） 1．What special courses do the middle school students have in Chiang Mai? 2．What do the students wear in their “Thai dance” class? 3．What do the students do in the class “elephant education and protection”? 4．Why do they sometimes make crafts with recycled materials after class? 5．What do you think of the school life in Chiang Mai, Thailand? Can you imagine going to school on a boat? That is just what students at a Bangladeshi boat school do! Every morning, a boat travels along the river and picks them up. When all the students are on board, the boat stops at the side of the river and the class begins. Bangladeshi boat schools aren’t just an interesting idea—they are necessary for many local children. The rainy season in Bangladesh causes heavy flooding every year. Because of high water levels, many children can’t get to school. For years, these children simply missed school during the rainy season. The boat school changed all that. It became a way for children to keep going to school during the yearly floods. A teacher at the boat school said, “Teaching on the boat is a wonderful experience. Children don’t miss classes and fall behind. That makes it easier for them to learn.” The students are excited too. “I love my boat school,” said Dev, a 10-year-old boy. “My teachers and classmates are friendly. And the boat itself is great! It has a computer and a small library—there’s even a playground on the upper level!” His classmate Mila agreed. “I love being on the boat. It fills me with a sense of adventure!” she said. This kind of exciting and creative school is helping Bangladeshi children learn—even in the most difficult weather. 注：每题答案不超过10个单词。 1．How do students at the Bangladeshi boat school get to school in the morning? 2．Why can’t many children get to school during the rainy season? 3．Why does the boat school make it easier for children to learn? 4．How does Dev feel about his teachers? 5．What does Mila like about the boat school? Learn outside the classroom Every morning in the past weeks, 18-year-old Shao Menglu has got up at 6:30 am and been dressed in a uniform. By 7 a.m. she has been working at a mini supermarket in her school. “The Ningbo No.7 High School students run (经营) the supermarket.

Each class can run the supermarket for a week every term. The students are trained (培训) before they start. Although the job kept Shao busy, she enjoyed her week. “I had to stand for up to six hours a day and say, ‘welcome back’ with a smile,” Shao said, “But the busy life made me feel happy every day. The job also made me feel like an adult and helped me understand what I should prepare (准备) for my future work.” “Working at the supermarket is good for us to learn outside the classroom,” said Zhu Yongjie, 17, who once worked at the supermarket. 注：每题答案不超过6个单词。 1．How old is Shao Menglu? 2．Who runs the supermarket? 3．Why don’t the students work full time? 4．How long does each class run the supermarket every term? 5．What do you think of working at the supermarket of the school? (请自拟一句话回答) In many Chinese cities, primary and middle schools have made class breaks longer from 10 to 15 minutes since the fall semester (学期) started. The governments (政府) want students and teachers to do more outdoor activities. Before, Chinese schools usually had 10-minute breaks. But it was not enough time for students, especially those in tall buildings, to go outside and play. Sometimes, schools didn’t let students leave the classroom during breaks because they were worried about safety. Now, local education departments (部门) are trying to make school schedules better. They want students to have at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. In Beijing, primary schools’ morning and afternoon times haven’t changed. Middle schools end five minutes later. In Wuxi, Jiangsu, schools have 15-minute breaks and one PE class every day. Students must do at least 100 minutes of exercise at school. The education officer said this helps students play outside and talk to each other. They want to give break time back to students. A Qingdao primary school has many outdoor games like jump rope and hula hoop, and indoor puzzles during 15-minute breaks. In May, a fitness test showed that 47 percent of Qingdao students got “excellent” or “good” fitness grades, 10 percent more than before. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．Who do the governments want to do more outdoor activities? 2．Why didn’t schools let students leave the classroom during breaks before? 3．In which city do the middle schools end five minutes later? 4．How long do students in Wuxi, Jiangsu need to exercise at school? 5．What outdoor games are mentioned (提到) in a Qingdao primary school? During the break times between classes, Xiao Jingsheng from Beijing Shangdi Experimental School often went to the toilet then back to class with no time for anything else. But now that is different. “I can have more time to rest and share interesting things with my classmates,” said the 14-year-old. “Starting this autumn term, students at primary and middle schools in Beijing have a longer break between two classes, from 10 minutes to 15 minutes, so students can spend more time outside. To help children better enjoy break-time activities, some schools mixed break time with labor education by opening planting areas and animal breeding zones (饲养区). “We have welcomed new friends to our school—some ducks and rabbits!” said Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing 101 Middle School Kuangda Campus. “During the breaks, some play with these cute animals, while others exercise on the playground. We get closer to nature, which is refreshing (令人耳目一新的) and relaxing.” As the break time is longer, making sure everyone is safe (安全的) is also important. P. E. teachers in schools keep an eye on students playing on the ground. “Sometimes the ground can be wet in the morning, so we tell the students to do more upper body exercises to avoid (避免) running and falling down,” said one P. E. teacher. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．How long is the break time between two classes in Beijing’s schools now? 2．What did some schools do to help children better enjoy break time? 3．Who keeps an eye on students playing on the ground during the breaks? 4．Why do P.

Most high schools in the United States publish a yearbook once a year, usually in the spring. It is a record of the school year—a “book of memories” for the students. Inside a yearbook is each student’s photo. The seniors are graduating soon, and their photos appear first. Next are the juniors. They are one year behind the seniors. Then come the second-year students. The last photos are the first-year students. The yearbook is not only about students. The teachers have photos, too. The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of extracurricular activities. These are activities that students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design and take photos all year for the yearbook. In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors vote and choose the “class clown” (a funny student), the “most likely to succeed”(a student who got the best grades), and the “best dressed”(a student with a good fashion sense). There are also other awards. Students usually sign each other’s yearbooks. This is especially important for the seniors because they are graduating. Students write notes to each other, such as, “We had a lot of fun,” or “I’ll never forget you.” They also write about the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词。 1．How many grades are there in most high schools in the USA? 2．Whose photos can we see first in a yearbook? 3．What title might an interesting student get? 4．Why is it important for senior students to sign each other’s yearbooks? 5．What do you think of the yearbook in the USA? 重难语篇练习 If you ask any 12-year-old what their favorite time of the day is, they’ll tell you it’s lunch! But for Jason, it’s a bit different. He can’t wait to get home and start working on his candle-making business. Jason began creating candles because the candles he bought gave mom headaches. He was only eight years old at the time. He thought there must be a way to make a safe and all-natural candle. So, he set out to find a cleaner and more natural way to make a candle that his mom could enjoy. He was very interested in the process and the chemistry behind making the candles. Later, he found a kind of wax (蜡) that was chemical-free. He also found natural oils to add scent (香味). With the support of his mom, he started an online store in 2020. His online orders began picking up. In the fall of 2022, he opened a store at a local shopping centre. Now people can buy his candles both online and at the store. The store also sells soaps which are made by Vicky, Jason’s little sister. She was inspired (鼓舞) by her brother to make her own handmade products. Jason started his business to save money for his college education. But running a business is about more than making money for Jason. He also gave some money to the community. The community spent the money supporting the local homeless shelter and helping the kids who needed a little help with college. “My future goal is to help people around the world,” he says. His mother is proud of her son and loves to spend time with him as his business grows. She says it is really inspiring to see how his mind works. Jason has a big goal and an even bigger heart.

Reading together with others, known as buddy (同伴) reading, will make this journey even more fantastic. During the journey, the buddies spend time doing a lot of reading activities. This not only adds to the pleasure of reading but also deepens their understanding of the books. Although it is all right to have students join in buddy reading with same-aged schoolmates, schools usually pair up older students with younger ones. In 2021, Green School started such a program and has achieved a great success. Both younger and older readers in this school have learned a lot from this two-year reading program. For example, when they listened to each other, they learned to be kind and patient. This experience also provided them with a chance to practice lifelong skills such as exercising leadership or communicating with others. A student called Jason said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more confident, as he knew he was a role model for someone. The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt more connected as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway. Now summer vacation is coming. It’s a great time to get into books. Why not pair up with a friend, choose a book you both like and read it together? 1．What is buddy reading? 2．When did Green School start such a program? 3．How long was the program? 4．What did Jason think of reading to a younger buddy? 5．Do you like reading?
