It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.

Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention

You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!

Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers（运动鞋）. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.

56. The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “_____”.

A. start B. study C. find D. teach

57. The last paragraphs mainly tell us about ________.

A. what to know about a new school B. how to prepare for a new school

C. what to do on your first day of school D. how to spend your first day of school 58. According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except ______.

A. introduce yourself B. learn about the school rules

C. make new friends D. go over your new lessons

59. If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you will feel ________

A. nervous B. lucky C. happy D. excited

As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) trend (趋势) in the U.S. continues to grow.

“We needed furniture(家具) for our living room.” Says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.

Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”

John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a

With a healthy image, handsome face and Japan’s coolest haircut, Takeshi Kaneshiro (金城武)is one of Asia’s most attractive stars.

When “Turn Left Turn Right” (<<向左走向右走>>) opens in Chinese cinemas next month, there’s no doubt the 29-year-old boy will get even more attention.

Takeshi stars as John, a lonely violin player who falls in love with a translator called Eve, played by Gigi Leung(梁咏琪). Many of Takeshi’s fans like to copy his haircut, clothes and even his smile. But they will find it hard to copy the way he plays the violin in the movie. He impressed his director to Kei Fung(杜琪峰) by learning to play the violin in a few weeks.

This attitude to hard work is one of the reason Takeshi is such a good role model for young people. Like many young people, he values friendship more than anything else. “My best friends are my former schoolmates,” he once said, “We became close when we were at school and will be friends forever.” Besides his good looks and hairstyle, he is well known for his healthy image. He started his acting career at the young age of 15 but, unlike other pop stars, he has rarely behaved badly. He stays away from drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. Violence, rude words and dirty jokes seldom appear in his movies.

“I hated foreign language classes when I was in school, but now I find speaking several languages helps me a lot in my career,” he said. For someone who only took up acting, Takeshi has come far. No doubt his star will rise even higher.

63. he title, the writer means _____.

A. Takeshi always plays a perfect role in the film

B. Takeshi impressed his audience and fans with a perfect image

C. Takeshi acts perfectly in all the films

D. Takeshi can speak Chinese perfectly

It doesn’t matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.

Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.

The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.
