There are over 800 boarding(寄宿)schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries．Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country．But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only．Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18．
What to do
In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term．Students study and live together．They can't go outside if they are not allowed to．In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan．Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres．Most boarding schools have a“light out”time．So when it's time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off．There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours．
What to wear
Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform．Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt．As students get older, the rules become less strict．
________
In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food．They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread．They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner．And there is always self-service for salad(沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert．Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals．

The dinosaurs once lived happily on the earth．But 65 million years ago，they suddenly died out．What happened to them?
Scientists think that a change in temperature may be to blame．They have come up with lots of ideas to explain the end of the dinosaurs．
The most famous one is the minor planet (小行星) idea．Let's go back to that day 65 million years ago to see what happened．Everything was OK before a large minor planet suddenly hit the earth．What a terrible hit! It caused big fires，storms，acid rain，and even earthquakes and volcano eruptions．The hit produced a lot of dust,which flew up into the air and blocked the sun for months．The earth became very cold without sunlight．The plants died first．Then the grass-eating animals died of hunger．Then the meat-eating animals could not find food，either．They began to eat each other，but after a while they died out，too．The dinosaurs，either plant-eaters or meat-eaters，did not live through the disaster(灾难)．What a sad story!
In April，a British scientist thought of a new idea about the death of the dinosaurs．He thinks that after the minor planet hit the earth，the temperature change left more dinosaur boys than girls! Without enough female dinosaurs to hatch the eggs，the dinosaur population became smaller and smaller．

You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．
Perhaps you have been told about some habits (习惯) which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．
Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions．
(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?
(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
(3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
(4)Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer“yes”to any of these questions,start at once to break the habit．If you move your tips，hold your fingers over them，or hold a piece of paper be-tween your lips while you are reading．Then if your lips move，your will know it and can stop them．
If you point to words，hold the two sides of your book，one side with your left hand，the other side with your right hand．Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading．If you move your head，place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的)．
If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time，you need to work very hard in learning to take in (吸收) more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words．
Even if you do rather fast now，you can learn to read even faster．As you probably have been told，the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance．Read in through groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can to make them go．Anyone who practices doing these things will he able to read faster．
