Dear Boarding Students，

At this time of school year，we can feel some students begin to experience excitement as the summer vacation comes.But some others still don't want to start packing.I once again ask for your attention as we will have summer camps for the new students.There is much work to be done in packing and cleaning－up，especially during exam week.

________________________ Each student will get a task list and each task has a deadline(截止期限)．The dorm(寝室) teachers will work with each student each night to make sure you are getting the tasks done on time.It would be helpful if your parents encourage you to do a little packing and cleaning from now on.It means you can take the posters off the wall，pack up winter clothes，return all borrowed books to the library，etc.Spending twenty minutes a day on your tasks will make the last week of the term very easy，and you can spend more time on the important preparation for exams.If you plan to travel home，I'd like to remind you to take some of your belongings with you.

The coming weekend is a “closed weekend”．During that time no one is allowed to leave school.After packing we need to prepare the dorms for moving out，and store(储藏) students' large belongings.

The last exam is on Thursday and all students leave after their exam.The dorm will remain open until 5 p．m. on Friday for those students that could not get a ride or flight.Please let us know if you need transportation to the airport.

Thank you again for all your attention during the last，busy month of school.As always，you are welcome to call or email me with any questions.

In Western society, especially in the English-speaking world, the chance for young people to see the other countries and experience life is considered important. Many young people, when they finish school at the age of 18, take a gap year before they go to university.

Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like when they finish school. Although they are worried about their safety, many think that the advantages of independence and experience are worth the worries. Children are encouraged to be brave, independent and to explore the world on their own or with friends.

Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side. This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side of life. For example, if they have a rich life, they may want to see how people in poor areas live.

A gap year after school is also an important chance for young people to spend time thinking about what they want to do with their lives. A little bit of growing up and experience will help them make their important career decisions, especially when they are unsure about what they want to study.

Another reason for going straight after school is to get a break from studying before they start the next few years of university. So anywhere you travel in the world, you will meet young European people exploring the world.

So much of the world has been travelled and explored. The young people are now looking for more worthy experiences. Some of them work as volunteers to do something for the country they are visiting. Many gap year volunteers are now spending a few months teaching English in Thailand, helping feed giant pandas in China or building a well(井) in a village in Africa.

These young people’s wish to explore the world is an expression of the values of the societies that they are part of. Both discovering the world and making a positive difference in it are important parts of the Western mind.

1.Which is NOT a reason for young people to take a gap year?

A. Young people want to take a break from studying.

B. Young people want to be sure about what to study.

C. Parents encourage them to be brave and independent.

D. Parents encourage them to live a free and wealthy life.

2.Now a gap year volunteer might do something more valuable like .

A. experiencing different cultures

B. helping protect rainforests in Brazil

C. making friends with more people

D. enjoying traditional local food

3.By taking a gap year, young people may .

A. stay with their parents all the time

B. make money for their further study

C. help change the world for the better

D. change the Western mind completely

4.The purpose of writing this article is to .

A. show different opinions about gap year

B. offer readers information about gap year

C. discover new ways to take a gap year

D. tell young people when to take a gap year
