26、   Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too far. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend high schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a long distance to attend the school.

◆ At School

The schoolday begins at 8:30. Then students gather in their homerooms for the day’s studies. Each homeroom class has an average of 40-45 students. Students stay in their homerooms for most of the schoolday. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities (设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria (自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.

Japanese high school students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years’ studying of each of the following subjects: maths, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives (选修课) are few.

◆ Afterschool Activities

Club activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs (baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs (English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.

【1】Most Japanese high school students often have lunch ___________.

A.in restaurants B.in school cafeterias

【3】From the passage we can know that ________.

A.there are fewer than 40 students in each homeroom in Japanese high schools

27、   Getting back into a routine can be a challenge. If you ever wanted to understand how you could succeed in school, you’re in luck. 【1】 Here are some of the tips from the teachers to help you succeed in the next school year.

Use a calendar or chart(图表).

【3】

28、Everyone who has eaten instant noodles knows that it’s very easy to cook them quickly. However, have you ever heard of the danger of eating them?

When taking out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that they are joined together nicely as a piece. Do you know that it needs some form of wax coating (蜡涂层) to make them joined together nicely? Many people don’t really care much about it because this seems very normal. However, studies have shown that the wax coating is bad for our body.

It is advisable to have a break of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant noodles because our body needs about 3 days to clear that wax coating away. Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating in our stomach? It will lead to cancer if it is in our body for so long.

Luckily, there is a way of reducing the danger before we eat instant noodles. First, wash the noodles with warm water, stir (搅拌) them and pour away the water containing the wax coating. Then repeat the first step and try to stir them again to wash away the wax coating on the noodles before cooking them. The shop vendors (供应商) will often wash away the dangerous wax coating.

It is very easy to cook instant noodles but we must pay attention to the wax coating if we eat too much. Imagine having too much of it in your stomach. Oh, my! Hope this article will help more people know about the hidden danger!

29、To bring the Olympic spirit to developing nations in the late 1990s, the Olympic Committee allowed a small number of “wild card” athletes to join the Games. But because they didn’t have to go through any qualifying rounds to compete, when they arrived, not all of the competitors were prepared. One such athlete was a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea named Eric Moussambani. When Moussambani arrived at the 2000 Sydney Games, he’d only been training for the 100-meter freestyle for about eight months. He’d also never been in an Olympic-size pool and had never raced more than 50 meters. Regardless, he was determined to represent his country.

The three wild-card athletes were given their own race, and Moussambani was next to the other two swimmers from Niger and Tajikistan. When the official called the swimmers to begin the game, both of Moussambani’s competitors were disqualified for false starts. Left to swim by himself, Moussambani dove in and dog paddled, breathing for air and moving his arms and legs. Halfway through the race, the situation looked so serious that the audience seriously worried he was drowning.

When Moussambani finally passed the finish line and pulled himself from the water, the applause thundered. His final time was 1:52.72 - more than twice that of swimmers in the previous race. But Moussambani couldn’t have been happier. He told reporters, “I’ m going to jump and dance all night long in celebration of my personal success.”

Moussambani’s courage and determination made him an Olympic celebrity (名人). He kept training for the 2004 Games and even got his time down to a respectable 57 seconds.

【1】What can we infer about “wild card” athletes?

A．They arrive late.

B．They are well-prepared.

C．They are the best athletes.

D．They are from developing countries.

【2】How did Moussambani do in the race?

A．He lost in the race.

B．He swam unskillfully.

C．He failed at the beginning.

D．He disappointed everyone.

【3】How did Moussambani feel after finishing the race?

A．Extremely excited.

B．Quite ashamed.

C．Very disappointed.

D．Pretty calm.

【4】Which words can best describe Moussambani?

A．Smart and flexible.

B．Patient and careful.

C．Brave and determined.

D．Optimistic and modest.

30、A Good Man

A cheerful taxi driver says, “No problem. Map sellers are everywhere!” When the taxi stops, a fellow _________ with a thin folded sheet and says: “Ten dollars”.

I can hardly read it, __________ I make out a few phrases — “forgive __________,” “taxi’s been down” and, finally, “here’s map for your son.” There’s no return address.
