What are American high schools like? Well，I'm happy to tell you what I know．

When I started school here，it had already been a week since the schoo1 opened．At this school，freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip．which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates．I was really sad．I wished I’d known about it earlier.

Despite the disappointment，however，I gradually adapted to my new life and schoo1．

There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other．As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates，the school wants us to get to know each other there．Students usually come to school early，sit in that space and have fun．Around the space，there are many lockers for students to leave their books in，so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere．

It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks．We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra and they are big and heavy，like bricks．For other classes，we only need binders(活页夹)with paper in them．Without textbooks，students learn things freely and actively．For example，my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time．We never know what we will learn．

Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students’morality more than their academic studies．For example，if you do not finish your homework，you will just be asked to do it later，but if you cheat or lie，you will get a warning or even be kicked out．

I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well，but compared to Chinese students，they can make learning a more joyful experience．I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying．

21．What was the writer sad for?

A．He was late for schoo1．

B．He missed the trip at the beginning of schoo1．

C．He didn’t know anyone．

D．American students looked down upon him．

22．Why do students go to the basement of the teaching building?

A．To attend class． B．To share a classroom． C．To have fun．D．To meet teachers．

23．According to the passage，in American high schools，_________．

A．you are likely to be kicked out if you cheat

B．you’11 be punished if you do not finish your homework

C．students are better at school work than Chinese students

D．students care much about the grades they get

The new high-speed railway line between Urumqi，capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region，and Lanzhou，capital of Gansu province，has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours．

The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival．

“For the first time，I feel home is not that far away after all，”said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high-speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family．

The 35-year-old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago，and he has now settled in Urumqi．

The 1,776-km line，which passes through Qinghai province and is the country’s first high-speed railway to be built in a high-altitude region，came into service on Dec 26．

“We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season，”Liang said．“Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes，so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip．”

More than 600，000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month，and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high-speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season．

The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang’s development．All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link，leaving the old one to be used for goods．As a result，Xinjiang’s annual goods ability could reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million．

The line passes through areas that experience high winds，and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the bone-dry sands of the Gobi Desert．

The project could help China to promote its high-speed railway technology abroad，said Ma Xi zhang，director of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway project’s_management department in Xinjiang.

24．How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before?

A．about 12 hours． B．About 6 hours．

C．About 18 hours． D．About 24 hours．

25．What’s the main advantage of the new high-speed railway?

A．It takes more time to go to Urumqi to Lanzhou．

B．It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang．

C．All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals．

D．It helps to improve Xinjiang’s development．

26．From the passage we can learn________.

A．Xinjiang’s annual goods ability can increase nearly four times

B．the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroad

C．the high-speed railway lines can’t be built across the bone-dry sands

D．the old railway lines can only carry goods now

27．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．The new high-speed railway line is good for all people to go home．

B．The new high-speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods．

C．Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou．

D．Businessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before．

In the animal kingdom，weakness can bring about aggression in other animal．This sometimes happens with humans also．But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people．I see it every day when people hold doors for me，pour cream into my coffee，or help me to put on my coat．And I have discovered that it makes them happy．

From my wheelchair experience，I see the best in people，but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily．They don’t get to see this soft side of others often；we try every way possible to avoid，showing our weakness，which includes a lot of pretending．But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them．

Last month，when I was driving home on a busy highway，I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual．People behind me began to get impatient and angry，with some speeding up alongside me，homing(按喇叭)or even shouting at me．At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty four years of driving．I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．

No more angry shouts and no more horns!

When I put on my flashlights，I was saying to other drivers，“I have a problem here．I am weak and doing the best I can．”And everyone understood．Several times，I saw drivers who wanted to pass．They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic．But instead of get
