A

Men with experience say that the most exciting and happiest moments in a student's life happen in high school. Honestly speaking, I didn't believe this before just because I didn't feel it! But lately, when I tried to recall my past years as a student, starting from kindergarten when I kept praying for fevers so I could have the excuse to miss school up to primary when I was still a little girl until the present time--I am already in my last year in high school, I'm quite sure that they are saying this right.

I know some of you have already proved it but others may still ask, "Why do they find high school life exciting?" Well, let's start from when we first step into high school. That is in our first year when everything's like a new world, a world where, unlike in the lower years, you are no longer treated as a child, which has really made you sick and tired. It is a world of happy teenagers doing things on their own and learning to be independent. At this point in time, you'll experience a lot of physical changes when little girls turn into ladies and little boys turn into gentlemen. This is just the beginning.

However, high school life is not always fun. Remember that our parents sent us to school to learn and not just to mix with people. We cannot avoid problems related to school like having assignments and examinations, low and even failing grades and the child-sent-to-office and parents-called stuff and a lot more! Some of us just continue to experience the same problems each year.

36. From the first paragraph we can know that the writer_________

A. agrees with the opinion now

B. doesn't believe anything before experiencing it personally

C. is always having fevers

D. doesn't like high school life

37. Why does the author think high school life is exciting?

A. The students do not have to take exams any more.

B. The students are happy in the school.

C. The students can deal with things independently.

D. The students will experience different problems.

38. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem the high school students have to face'?

A. Assignments and examinations. B. Physical changes.

C.?Low and even failing grades. D. Parents-called trouble.

39. What is the text mainly about?

A. What the students' life is like in high school.

B. Why the experienced people are always right.

C. What high school students have to do.

D. The problems the high school students have to face.

B

The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working on homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage (垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.

At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.

“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”

“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”

40. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who ______.

A. is willing to help those in need without pay

B. can afford to travel to different places

C. has a strong wish to be successful

D. has made a big fortune in life
