I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my mother, who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled (注册) in the local high school in my new town. I had no idea what to do. I didn’t know anybody in my classes. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. I was already confused (迷惑的) because in India the teachers change according to periods while most of the students have the same periods. With concern on one hand and fear on the other, I opened the door slowly. Everyone’s eyes were on me as I entered the room. Without paying attention to them, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes.” His voice made me feel a little relaxed. He gave me a piece of paper called Course Requirements, which I would never get in my previous school in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had our own seat, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the pictures produced by the overhead projector (投影仪). In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke. Since it was my first day, I was confused about which hallway to use, but I managed to get to my classes without asking anyone. Every confusion seemed like an obstacle (障碍) I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I saw my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, “today wasn’t so bad.” As time passed that year, I developed some friendships and started to love my school. 24.

He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak (顶峰). For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar words as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. If so, staying up later than you want to may counteract your cycle in some way. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a comfortable yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed for a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. 28. Dr. Kleitman explains that a person is difficult to get up in the morning probably because of________. A. his own laziness B. his own energy cycle C. his own habit D. his bad rest at night 29. According to the passage, people’s energy peak may come________. A. in the morning В. in the evening C. in the afternoon D. at different hours 30. What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to? ________ A. The life. В. The good habit. C. The energy cycle. D. The change. 31. If the finding is true, it’s best to________. А. do your work at the energy peak В. manage to control your temper C. work at the bottom of energy cycle D. manage to keep you clean all day D 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 in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own 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. 高一第一次月考英语 4 “I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school. We watched a vid
