In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.
Even though they've done this already in the middle school, it's still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.
One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, munity service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications.

The xx National Teacher of the Year gave its prize to Michael Geisen, an American science teacher, who is thirty-five years old and a forester. But he decided he would rather work with growing minds than with growing trees.
Seven years ago, Michael Geisen got master's degree in teaching and a job at a middle school. He brought new energy to the science department there. He created school projects, and got parents' support in their children's work. He always tried to be creative with each activity, and he didn't like using textbooks much. One girl in his class said he could probably make it interesting to watch grass grow. During lunch, his students e to his room to talk, get help, visit his turtle and sometimes join him in playing the guitar. He writes songs and develops games about science. He says one of his goals as a teacher is to create people who will continue to learn throughout their lives.
The National Teacher of the Year is a professional award in the United States. The program began in 1952. Each state chooses one teacher as the winner of the state teachers of the year. President George Bush honored top teachers at the White House.

How to Make Friends
16 Indeed, there are many things in life which we alone cannot perform.
We need friends’ help. Friends are people wh o willingly and readily help us when we are in trouble, and show sympathy (同情) for us when we are in misery (苦难).
17 For example, when we have passed the graduation examination and are looking for a job, we need experienced and reliable friends to guide us and help us on our way. A good friend is also an adviser because our own points of view towards things may not be always right. 18
Of course, we can make friends everywhere. However, I think the best place is school, where we are among a big number of boys and girls of our own age. so it is easy to get to know one another in a short time.
19 In order to make friends, we ourselves must be honest, noble-minded and kind-hearted to leave a favorable impression on others since other people observe us the same way as we do.
At the same time, we should avoid bad friends, because they always do harm to us and moreover, they are dangerous to the people around. What is even worse, they destroy our friendship with good friends. 20
A. Indeed, looking for acquaintance（熟人）with bad friends would be a serious mistake.
B. A faithful friend is hardto find.
C. Therefore, it is necessary for us to seek advice from friends.
D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
E. Besides, we can also make friends among the people who work with us in the munity.
F. A proverb says “One man is not good enough to live alone in the world.”
G. The benefits（益处）of friendship are boundless (无限的) and sometimes invisible.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
