Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don‘t agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources, we are short of（缺乏）others，for examplefresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move？Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday lifewe can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example，turn off the water taps（水龙头）when we finish washing，turn off the lights when we leave the classroom，try not to order more food than we needand so on. Little by little，everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one dayif we do our best.

C. Oil
D. Coal
43. What may happen in 100 years？
A. We may still have enough oil
B. We may still have enough coal
C. We may have a little oil
D. We may have no coal or oil to use

The American book Who Moved My Cheese（奶酪） has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don’t be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students. Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.
The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.
46. The book Who Moved My Cheese is _________.
A. written all over the world

Last year I had a wonderful experience. I went on a student exchange to Japan. It was an exciting time of my life and Ilearned many things about the school system in Japan. I was in Grade 11, which is second year of high school in Japan, but I was younger than most of my classmates. That’s because Japanese children enter first year of elementary school (小学) in April following their sixth birthday.
I started school when I was still five years old.
In Japan, Children attend elementary school for six years, where they study Japanese, arithmetic, science, social studies, music, crafts, physical education, and home economics (simple cooking and sewing skills). During their three years in middle school, English is added to this list. Most schools have access to computers and the Internet.
The classes in my school seemed rather big to me, around 30 students in a typical high school class. We ate lunch in the classroom, instead of a cafeteria and enjoyed a healthy, nutritious meal prepared by the school or by a local “school lunch centre” instead of eating the same, dry sandwiches every day. I really like the Japanese interpretation of school lunches. I also enjoyed the field trips and
activities. At Japanese schools, there are many school events during the year, such as field day when students compete in tug-of-war, field trips, and arts and cultural festivals.
51. The writer went to Japan _____ last year.
A. to visit his family memebers
B. to finish his high school there
C. to study as an exchange student
D. to do research on school system in Japan
52. Children in Japan may start their elementary school at the age of ____.
A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
D. 11
53. Japanese students start to learn English _____.
A.before they start their school year
B. when they are in elementary school
C. when they are in middle school
D. when they are in high school
54. In the writer’s country, there are normally _____ students in a high school class.
A. less than 30
B. exactly 30
C. more than 30
D. Not certain
55. In the writer’s country, students probably _____.
A. have lunch in the classroom
B. have different lunch every day
C. have lunch at home
D. have sandwiches for lunch
D
At two o’clock a bank robber stole in. “This is a holdup,” the man said rudely. He took a gun from under his jacket, pointing to George. “Hand it over!” George reached into his money-box and took all the bills from the top part—close to six thousand dollars. The robber snatched them and turned to leave.

As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George counted the money. He had eight thousand dollars. He was very happy.

“Good morning, George, I was sorry, to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our little bank can robbed, too. I retired yesterday, just to keep everyone on his toes. Now, I have put the money back in your money-box—all six thousand.”
