Subject: My school
Hi, Li Zijun,
Thanks very much for your email. I really enjoyed reading it. I think we have a lot in common. I wonder if our school life is similar too.
I go to a big high school in Sydney called Maylands High School. There are about 1000 students and 80 or so teachers. My class has 25 students in it, which is normal for a Year 11 class. In the junior school there are about 30 students in a class.
In the senior high school we have lots of subjects to choose from, like maths, physics, chemistry, biology, history, German, law, geography, software design, graphic arts and media studies. (Different schools sometime have different optional subjects.) English is a must for everyone and we have to do least three other subjects in Year 11 and 12. At the end of Year 12 we sit for a public exam called the High School Certificate.
As well as school subjects, most of us do other activities at school such as playing a sport, singing in the choir or playing in the school band. We can also belong to clubs, such as the drama club, the chess club and the debating society.
We have a lot of homework to do in senior school to prepare for our exam, so unless I have basketball practice, I usually go straight home and start studying. I arrive home about 4 pm, make myself a snack and work till 6. Then I help the family to make dinner and we all eat together. I'm usually back in my room studying by 8 pm. I stop at about 10 o'clock and watch TV or read a book for half an hour to relax. On Saturdays, I usually go out with my family or with friends and I sleep in till late on Sunday morning. Then it's back to the books on Sunday afternoon.
How about you? What's your school life like? Do you have a lot of homework? What do you do to relax when you're not studying? I'm looking forward to finding out.
Your Australian friend
Terrie

【题目】根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Looking back on the first twenty years of my life, I feel grateful to have been so healthy and happy. I'm happy due to many key factors. They include my physical health, healthy finances and my family's happiness.
Health comes first for me, because without health everything else is meaningless. Imagine starting a career without good health. Imagine achieving anything without good health.
Good health is not enough to be happy. Money obviously pays for the basic necessities of life—food, housing, clothing, etc. —but it is also necessary for other reasons. Money guarantees we always get good medical treatment when we fall ill.
Family is another important factor in having a happy life because it provides the love, joy, and support that everyone needs. I love my family with all my heart. I get pleasure from their pleasure. I suffer when they suffer.They give me advice when I have misunderstandings with my friends. More importantly, they are always there to share everything with me.
As long as I stay healthy, work hard to earn enough money and share both good times and bad times with my family, I will always be the happiest girl in the world.
A. My family help me get through pressures and difficulties.
B. Clearly, good health is much more important than any other aspect of one's life.
C. Besides, we can use money to improve our life.
D. We still need money in today's society.
E. Sometimes the amount of money we have is determined by our happiness.
F. These three factors are all I need in this world.
G. Having good health and healthy finances, we can turn our attention to the happiness of our family.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller, so we may assume (假定) that man will continue to grow taller. Again, as time goes on, we shall have to use our brains more and more. This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular, the forehead will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we are likely to make less use of our arms and legs, which, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.
Perhaps all these give the impression that in the future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us.
(1)What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Man's life will be different in the future.
B.Future man will look quite different from us.
C.Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes.
D.Man's organs' functions will be weaker.
(2)What serves as the evidence that man is changing?
A.Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.
B.Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.
C.Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.
D.Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
(3)According to the passage, we can learn that ________.
A.human beings will become less attractive in the future
B.less use of a part of the body will become weaker
C.human beings hope for a change in the future life
D.future life is always predictable
