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 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, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendship, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications. The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join in them.What`s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.24.

As I pushed my shopping trolley(手推车) with my ten-month-old twin daughters towards a woman, she said, "Which one is the good one and which one is the bad one?" I was upset and hurried past. There I caught my breath, smiled at my two girls—who were busy playing with each other—and wondered how anyone could ask such a question.Since twins are born a "matched set", they are often seen as symbols(象征)of the good and bad in all of us. Ancient myths and modern movies are full of situations where twins are made to represent that one is good and the other is bad.Unfortunately, most people are more familiar with twin myths than with living, breathing twins, As one mother of adult twin sons put it, "I was amazed at how good both my twins were. From an early age there was so much care between them, If I offered one a biscuit, he wouldn`t take it until he made sure that his brother was going to get one too. I tried, but I could never get my single-born kids to be as thoughtful about each other." She said she protected her boys from twin myths while they were growing up by giving them different names. She never dressed them alike and avoided emphasis(强调)on their twinship.While few parents believe the myth of good twin/bad twin, some fall into the trap of comparing their twins` personalities and abilities. Of course, there are times when any parent becomes disappointed with one over the other. Wise parents keep these feelings to themselves. When they speak of differences between their twin children, they translate them into positive points and avoid negative labels(标签). Within the family, parents can control their own behavior. But there`s no easy way to protect them from wrong questions and comments from their classmates, teachers, coaches and strangers. The best defense is to show a positive attitude toward twinship and about any difference between your children.28. What is the twin myth mentioned in the text?A. Twins have a lot in common.B. Twins are always best friends.C. There`s a good twin and a bad twin in every pair.D. There are some slight differences between twins.29. The author left the woman in the supermarket in a hurry because________.A. she was in an emergencyB. the woman had hurt her beforeC. the woman was a total strangerD. she didn`t like what the woman said30. According to Paragraph3, the twin brothers________.A. have similar tastes in dressesB. love each other very muchC. dislike other family kidsD. have similar names31. The author advises parents to ________.A. learn more about twin mythsB. avoid comparing their twin childrenC. tell their twin children their shortcomingsD. encourage their twin children to learn from each otherDWe all know a picky(挑剔的)eater or two. Maybe you have that one friend who refuses to step foot in a sushi restaurant even though she`s never tried it. Or the one who turns her nose up at anything green.Experts suggest your DNA and upbringing are to blame for your picky eating habits. A group in Finland looked at what we call food neophobia, which means "fear of the new", and found there is some genetic basis for this. But neophobia can be greatly influenced by the surroundings. Parents unwilling to try anything new will expose(暴露)their kids to fewer new food.People less adventurous may be more unlikely to try new foods. It`s normal for children to go through a picky stage when they`re toddlers, maybe two or three years old, and that makes sense evolutionarily. (When our ancestors first tried new foods, they had to be cautious to avoid being poisoned.) But as we get older, if we continue to avoid new food, pickiness can last.For those who are simply picky, certain social situations like cocktail parties with all those foods full of mystery ingredients can cause anxiety. They`re often sort of embarrassed to admit that they eat like a child, so they will just say: "My stomach`s upset. " or "I had a late lunch. ".Your taste buds can change over time, but that requires taking a chance on new foods. But to be less picky, you definitely have to be determined. The most common reason for wanting to change is social.Expanding your eating horizons can make everything from a party to a vacation easier and more enjoyable.32. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means "________".A. likes the smell ofB. doesn`t like the smell ofC. dislikes and refusesD. shows interest in33. Which of the following plays a role in deciding whether one is picky?A. Ancestors.B. Surroundings.C. Social relations.D. Age.34.
