We invite special people to celebrate it with us.
The Presents
Presents are opened as soon as the children are awake. They can’t wait for the birthday cake later in the day!
The Cards
Friends and family send birthday cards. Sending birthday cards is a custom (风俗) that began in England about 100 years ago.
The Party
The birthday child will have a party to which friends and family are invited. Visitors to the party bring presents for the birthday child. The children play games such as musical chairs and pass the parcel (包裹).
The Cake
The birthday cake is decorated on a theme (主题). A candle for each year is lit and placed on top and the child blows out the candles making a wish. We don’t put objects inside the cake as stated on many websites.
The Bumps (碰撞)
It used to be traditional for the birthday child to have the bumps. Friends would hold the child by the legs and under the arms and lift the child up and down bumping them gently on the ground. The number of bumps given is the age of the child plus one for extra good luck. As this can be dangerous, clapping (拍手) is often done instead.
The Sweets
Some children do take sweets to school to share with their classmates on their birthdays.

试题分析: 本文主要介绍了在英国给孩子过生日时候的一些习俗，内容涉及了生日礼物，生日贺卡，生日聚会，生日糖果以及生日蛋糕等等。此外，还介绍了用头碰地这一习俗，但是现在这种风俗因为危险而被以拍手取代了。
小题1:B细节理解题。根据文中 Presents are opened as soon as the children are awake可以判断选B。
小题2:C 推理判断题。根据文章The Bumps部分内容The number of bumps given is the age of the child plus one for extra good luck.可知孩子过生日时用头碰地的次数应该比年龄多一次，故选C。
小题3:C 细节理解题。根据The Cake 部分We don’t put objects inside the cake as stated on many websites.可知C选项内容错误。
小题4:D主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了在英国孩子在过生日时候的一些习俗，包括生日礼物，生日贺卡以及生日蛋糕等等，故答案选D。

Internet. However, you can also find many weather signs (征兆) among wildlife. A drop (下降) in air pressure
affects small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather indicators. Before a storm, people outside
have observed that field mice come out of their holes and that Deer come down from the mountains.
Birds are good weather indicators. For example, some birds become irritable (急躁的) and will fight over a
piece of bread. Other birds chirp (叽叽喳喳) and sing just before a storm. It seems they know they won"t have
another chance for one or two hours. Birds also look for safe places before a storm. You will sometimes see
birds gathering together on a wire (电线) close to a building. Before the storm, the low pressure makes the air
so thin that birds have difficulty flying.
It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime. Watch for other weather signs if you
see this. If they fly in the wrong direction, they may be flying ahead of a storm.
By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature, we can become better prepared for any kind
of weather.

in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are
called "junior high school" and the other is "senior high school".
In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free
education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American children
have little difficulty in going to senior high school.
American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities
are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students
in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good
university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come
out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to
the next grade.

want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go
to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.

are many cheap, comfortable and safe places to live.
You should always try to arrange your long-term accommodation before leaving home. Your school
should be able to help you with it. When you are accepted by a school, you will usually receive a package of
information including accommodation information. Complete the accommodation application form and return
it before the deadline (最后期限). If the school accommodation is not available, the accommodation advisory
(顾问的) office of your school can help you find private accommodation.
If you"re coming to the UK for the first time, accommodation provided by your school might be the most
suitable choice. This is a choice taken by more than half of the international students. There are plenty of
advantages of living in accommodation provided by the school: you can live close to where you are studying;
you will get to know other students easily; and most importantly, you will be living in a safer environment.
This kind of accommodation is also affordable: a room in a self-catering (自己做饭的) student apartment
usually costs from 180 to 360 pounds per month. To live in a place where meals are included you are expected
to pay from 320 to 400 pounds per month.
If you choose to rent accommodation in private houses, the choices are lodgings, private hostels (招待所)
and bedsits (卧室兼起居室). In a lodging, your landlord/landlady lives in the same house, possibly with his /
her family, and prepares meals for you. For hostel accommodation and lodgings where meals are included,
you can expect to pay from 300 to 400 pounds per month. For bedsit, you would pay from 200 to 380 pounds
per month.
