same time, the rest of the students at the High School Attached to Yunnan Normal University in Kunming are
also having classes a little bit different from the usual ones. Some students dance, others create robots, and
still others review films. These are just a few of the other 27 elective (选修的) courses besides Liu"s sewing
class that the school began to offer last month.
"The fashion design class has become the bright point of my week. I learn how to choose colors and
fabrics (织物) as well as sewing and sketching (素描) skills. It"s all helping me to realize the dream of
becoming a fashion designer I"ve had since I was a little girl," Liu said.
Design is Liu"s favorite, but for other students the electives are interesting lessons which relieve (舒缓)
the pressures of schoolwork. Some students, for example, are learning how to play bridge. Chen Xi, 15, is
one of them. She said, "Many people think that playing a card game like this in class is a waste of time. But
in fact, bridge is a very challenging game that helps develop memory and math skills."
B. Once a month
C. Once a term
D. Once a year
B. 28
C. 26
D. 25
B. Because they needn"t do any homework in the elective classes.

| When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes. Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes you really need.

| When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk (冒…危险) being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up. "Storm chasing (追逐)" is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop. Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is very dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season. Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. "Storm chasing is 95% driving," says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing."Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers." However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. "When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life," says Jasper Morley. "Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth". | ||
| 1. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to _____. | ||
| [ ] | ||
| A. head straight for the center of the storm B. get into the car for safety C. wait patiently for the storm to develop D. collect information about a coming storm | ||
| 2. Beginners of storm chasing are advised _____. | ||
| [ ] | ||
| A. not to drive in a heavy rain B. to do it in an organized way C. not to get too close to a storm D. to spend more time on it in summer | ||
| 3. By saying "it is all worth it" in the last paragraph, the author means that _____. | ||
| [ ] | ||
| A. storm chasing costs a lot of money B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid D. a storm present is the greatest show on Earth | ||
| 4. What can we learn from the text? | ||
| [ ] | ||
| A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment. B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms. C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world. D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people. | ||

| Teenagers Talking About "Being a Teenager" Being a teenager is a strange and yet exciting part of life. We are faced with tough and important decisions each and every day-decisions that will affect our lives. -Katie Being a teenager is hard. I was such a cheerful kid with a best friend and lots of good friends. I got good marks and I was happy with my family. But since I became a teenager, things changed. Everything changed- my family, my friends, and my grades. In fact, my whole life changed. I started worrying about my figure and the way I looked. I started getting pimples (粉刺) all over my face. I think teenage life is harder for girls than for boys. -Julia Teenage years are a time when the single decision of right and wrong is based on what we see and hear. Peer (同伴) pressure is more and more serious, and the need to "fit in" ( 顺应,适合) sometimes is more important than"right" decisions. -Ashley Me? I have so much pressure (压力)! Being the only child in the family, my parents say that my future is the future of the family! My parents, who both have not gone to university, put all their efforts into me, hoping I can bring honor to the family. I really don"t want to let my parents down, and I"ll study harder and try my best to get into university. -Chen Mei Though teenagers face many difficulties, I believe that we can all enjoy our time as "young adults" somewhere in between the tears and the anger. Just think… ten years from now when you throw your back out and start balding (秃顶), all you"ll be saying to yourself is "What I wouldn"t give to be seventeen again!" -Kathy | ||

| Dear Mom and Dad, I"m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school master is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer. The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket. It caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket. It caught fire too. Soon the whole room was burning. The master phoned the fire brigade (消防队). The school is a long way from the town and before the fire brigade arrived, the whole school was on fire. The master said that the fire was all my fault and I must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars. I"m very sorry for this. Much love Sarah | ||
