B The bell rings and in a few moments, the most disordered part of the day begins - lunch. Food begins to be dished out, and some students are eager to see their friends, while others cannot bear the thought of what is about to happen. Anxiety builds for many as they think today will be just like any other day. Press repeat and this happens every day. But Bridport Elementary in Bridport introduced a system to solve this classic scene of loneliness and meet new friendships. There’s hardly room for the question, “Will you save me a seat? at Bridport Elementary, where students are guided to assigned tables and given the opportunity to open their hearts and minds to a new friend. The school’s president Kilbourne had observed too many days in which the same kids were left alone, while the others were always accompanied by friends. Something had to change. The school gives a new system in which students line up to pick a numbered stick before getting their food. Each stick has a number that’s linked with a table, showing where they will eat lunch for the day. This system was used five months ago. Today, if you walked into the cafeteria, you wouldn’t find any numbers or any sticks. Kilbourne made a promise to the students that the system would eventually disappear if she saw that students learned to value inclusivity and friendship. People really saw a change. A girl was walking around by herself with her lunch in her hand, and four tables asked her to join them. At another table, a kindergartener was sitting alone for just a few moments before two sixth graders came over to sit with him, and actively included him in conversation. Now we are left wondering: how can lessons learned from the cafeteria be used elsewhere? Students and adults all over the country could benefit from an approach in which every person is always welcome at the table in any situation. 4. What inspired the president of Bridport Elementary to introduce the system? A. Students didn’t speak to friends at a table. B. Students didn’t manage to get a seat in the cafeteria. C. Students had no one to communicate with in a crowd. D. Students had little interest in lunch due to the pressure of study. 5. Why could no numbers or sticks be found in the cafeteria? A. Because students were tired of them. B. Because they didn’t work out as expected. C. Because they were replaced by something else. D. Because there was no need for them any more. 6. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage? A. The benefits of the system. B. The disadvantages of the system. C. The wider use of the system. D. The lessons learned from the system. 查看更多

Test-taking tips
Do you sweat, check your pencil, and feel butterflies in your stomach as your teacher hands out the test paper? A lot of people feel anxious when it is time to take a test. Here are some tips for taking tests:
  1 .Your memory recall will be much better if you have had enough rest. In a scientific study, people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying.
Read the test through first. Once you have the test paper in front of you, read over the entire test, checking out how long it is and all the parts that you are expected to complete.  2 .If something seems unclear before you start, do not panic: ask the teacher.
Focus on addressing each question individually.  3 . Instead, answer the best way you can or skip over the question and come back to it after you have answered other questions.
Relax.  4 .Of course you can not get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can wiggle (扭动) your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths. As we all know, It can be easy to forget things we know well. During a test, if you forget something and start to get tense, it suddenly becomes much more difficult to remember.
Finished already? Although most teachers will let you hand your test paper in early, it is usually a good idea to spend any extra time checking over your work.  5 .On the other hand, if you have 5 minutes until the bell rings and you are still writing, wind up whatever you are working on without panic.

A.  Be sure you have studied properly.
B.  Get enough sleep the night before the test.
C.  This will allow you to decide how much time you have for each section.
D.  As you take the test, if you do not know an answer, do not worry about it.
E.  As the teacher hands out the test paper, be sure you know what is expected of you.
F.  You can also add details that you may not have thought you’d have time for.
G.  If you are so nervous that you blank out, you might need a mini-break.

Norah had a cottage on a cliff(悬崖)above a big bay. In winter it could be very unpleasant because of strong winds and sea waves. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent wind might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.
Also, the salt wave from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.
But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out-of-doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.

“What’s that?” asked Norah.

It's the end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on to their micro blogs(微博) to check the interesting things that have happened in the last hour.

Since last year, thetrend of micro blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update their blogs over five times per day.

"We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out."

It is also a great place for students to let out stress. "My parents always ask me to study hard, and encourage me before exams, but it really adds pressure," said Simon Zhang, 15. "When I share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better."

But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.

Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children. "If parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems," he said. He also gives some tips for kids.

-Don't micro blog for more than one hour a day.

-Never micro blog in class.

-Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.

-Be critical(批判性的). Don't trust all the messages on a micro blog.

1.Students log on to their micro blogs to           .

A.check the things

B.write articles

C.listen to music

D.call their parents

2.Micro blog made Simon      when he shared his feelings and got replies on his micro blog.

A.feel sad

B.let out stress

C.add pressure

D.make friends

3.We can know from Mr. Shen that micro blogging can           .

A.make kids crazy while logging on to it

B.bring a lot of misleading messages

C.become a window to understand young kids

D.lead to worse communication

4.Don't micro blog for           a day.

A more than one hour    B. less than one hour   C. one hour   D. more than two hours

5.Which is Wrong ?

A.Never micro blog in class.
