He is not in good condition. “I think I’m ill,” he tells his wife, “I feel awful. I’ve got a headache and I don’t feel like eating.”‎ ‎ “You’ve put on a lot of weight recently. You should see the doctor,” his wife says, “ask him how to lose weight. It’s not good for your breath.”‎ ‎ “OK.” says Jack. He goes to see a doctor.‎ ‎ The doctor checks his heart and weighs him. Then he says, “You are too heavy. You need to do some exercise to lose about 30 kilograms. Run two miles a day for the next 100 days. Then call and tell me your weight.”‎ A week later, the doctor receives a call from Jack. “Doctor, I ran two miles every day and I feel much better. But I have a new problem.”‎ ‎“What’s that?” asks the doctor.‎ ‎“I’m 14 miles away from home, and I can’t find my way back.” ‎ ‎21. Why does Jack feel awful?‎ A. Because he is in good condition. B.

In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their subjects and teachers first. ‎ ‎     Selecting is very important for your marks in America. So at the first term, don’t select too many subjects, or you’ll feel very nervous and tired. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades. There is another thing after you select the subjects and the teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about $30-50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.‎ ‎ In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They don’t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like. ‎ ‎25.

American school subjects C At my primary school, I was one of the smartest kids there. I never studied, but always got perfect scores. I thought I was born clever. At least I believed so. I was also a prodigy in music according to myself. I could sing better than almost everyone else in my school. I was pretty sure that once I got to sixth grade, everyone would be surprised by me. ‎ ‎ But actually, they weren’t. ‎ ‎ When I arrived at my new class, I couldn’t wait to show everyone what I could do. However, there was always someone else who could be better. My grades began to suffer. More talented (有天资的) girls often sang solo (独唱). I believed I wasn’t smart. I believed I wasn’t talented. I believed I was a failure. ‎ Over the next two years, I had to work very hard. Every prize for the singing competition was given to me for hard work and effort. Grades were still very low but improving little by little. I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything. ‎ I haven’t realized until recently that I really don’t have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself. In fact, when I did badly in a test, my classmates never laughed at me. ‎ ‎ No one is perfect. There will probably always be someone better than me at something. Anyway, there are about seven billion people in this world. I will never be the number one at everything, and that’s really okay. ‎ ‎29.

When I wasn’t perfect. B. My past life as a young girl. ‎ ‎ C. Hard work doesn’t work. D. What to do when you’re not perfect. ‎ D Rush hour traffic is a problem in many big cities around the world. Commuters (上下班者) rush to and from their jobs in cars, buses, subways, trains, and even on bicycles. Large cities in the United States have two rush hours –– one in the morning and one in the evening. But in cities in other parts of the world, there are four rush hours. In Athens and Rome, for example, many workers go home for lunch and a nap. After this midday break, they rush back to their jobs and work for a few more hours. ‎ In Tokyo, there’s a big rush hour underground. Most of the people in Tokyo take the subways. The trains are very crowded. Subway employees called packers wear white gloves and help pack the commuters into the trains when the doors close. They make sure that all purses, briefcases, clothes, and hands are inside the trains. ‎ In Seoul, many commuters prefer to take taxis to get to work. To hail a cab，many people stand at crossroads and raise two fingers. This means they’ll pay the cab driver double the usual fare. Some people even raise three fingers! They’ll pay three times the normal rate.‎ Streets in Rome are very crowded with automobiles and mopeds (摩托自行车) during rush hours. The city can’t make its streets wider, and it can’t build new highways,‎ ‎ because it doesn’t want to disturb the many historic sites in the city, such as the Forum and the Coliseum. It took the city fifteen years to construct a new subway system. Construction had to stop every time workers found old artifacts and discovered places of interest to archaeologists (考古学家). ‎ In many big cities, there are special lanes on highways for carpools. These are groups of three or more people who drive to and from work together. They share the costs of gas and parking and take turns driving into the city. ‎ ‎33.

Most of the commuters in Tokyo _______. ‎ A. take subway trains to work B. are packers C. take taxis to work D. carry briefcases to work ‎35.
