and laughing at __1__ one of them had just said.

“Lexi，” I answered __5__．
“Are you new？” he questioned.
“How did you guess？”
“For one，your __6__ is far too neat.”
I raised an eyebrow at him.“Is that a bad thing？”
“Not really，but __7__ three years at the state school，you pick up on a few things，” James explained.“You don't want to look really neat on your first day，trust me.”
“So I should purposely look __8__？”I said，but I spoke more softly this time—I really wanted to fit in and not look like a scared，new girl.
“What class are you in？” he asked.Just as I opened my mouth to answer，the bus suddenly __9__ and students began setting up off __10__ seats.The fifteen minutes to school went by really fast，I thought，standing and pulling my backpack off the floor.All __11__ the bus，saying nothing to me as they walked past.I rolled my eyes—so typical.I __12__ James out of the bus and onto the grass.I didn't know exactly __13__ to go and James must have sensed I didn't，so he nodded toward the front gates in a follow-me way.
“By the way，I'm in 9A，” I said.
He showed me a __14__．“Same.Want me to show you around a bit？”
“Yes，please，” I said.At least I now knew one person in the same class as me，so I wasn't completely a “new” kid __15__.A bright school day began.

Dear brother，
First of all，I do NOT miss you.
I'm just glad I'm up here，somewhere floating and
having fun by the sea while you are at home，fighting with
Dad for the last slice of pizza.
Do you remember the days when you were just born?
I used to take care of you like my doll.Your hair was
really curly，so I used to tie tiny little braids on your hair and
remove them quickly before Mom saw it.I used to play with
you as though you were my teddy bear.But now you have
grown up.Now you are only cute when you are
asleep.Because when you are awake，you are a devil，I am a
demon and Mom is the referee.I have got your back many
times though，haven't I…I made you eat fully burnt noodles
when you fought with me and I was，fortunately，in charge
of breakfast.I shut you in the bathroom with all the lights out，remember？And you started howling，bellowing something about bloody Mary…you were never the same after that.
Do you remember why you weren't allowed to travel with me to the sea？No，it's not because you're too young.It's because you were grounded．Don't you tell me that you forgot about that little joke you played on me…sticking the word “Fool” on the back of my favorite pink T-shirt? No one told me what was up.All were laughing.
So you should be at home，crying for more pizza while I'm here，trying to learn to dive in the blue sea.So hey，I'm enjoying it up here，but still，I'm alone.It's getting lonely，and maybe it will be more fun if you come here.
【主旨大意】本文是关于姐姐写给弟弟的一封信，虽然两兄妹的日常生活充满了恶作剧，小打小闹不断，但当姐姐一个人身处美景之中时却因想念弟弟而感到孤独。

故选D。

The human brain is very small and light(only 2% of our total body weight)，but it needs about 20% of the oxygon that our body takes in.We can't think well if our brain isn't getting enough oxygen.So，always make sure there is enough oxygen in the air when you need to learn or remember something!
No one can remember everything，but everyone can learn how to improve their memory.Here are some tips.None of them can make your memory 100% perfect，but all of them are helpful：
•When you want to remember something，tell a friend about it.This way the new information becomes more ter on，think about the conversation with your friend.It will remind you of the information you wanted to remember.
•Don't over-train your brain.When you've remembered a list of new vocabulary，stop studying.It's better to have a rest for a while！But remember you do have to practice your new vocabulary regularly!
•Our memory works well when we are asleep.If you want to remember something，go to bed and go to sleep immediately after learning it.
•If you have to remember something big，break it down into smaller sections.It's easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller pieces: 198－756－430－387.
•If you want to remember a piece of information，and you can't，don't get angry.Relax and tell yourself，“If it's important，I will remember it later.”

56．__B__ But it is not a snowstorm or a rainstorm.Ice storms occur when there are three layers of air in the atmosphere.First，there's a top layer that is very cold.Here it starts to snow.Then the snow hits a layer of warmer air where it melts and turns into rain.Finally，there's a third layer of very cold air near the ground.Because of this layer of cold air，the rain instantly turns to ice when it hits the ground.
