Mess Around with Dress-up
Do your parents have any old clothes? See if you get an old box and start collecting hats, shoes and clothes now! Then, when your friends come over after school, you can play dress-up. See if you can make yourself into a doctor，or a cowboy, or even a spaceman! Use glitter paint and old material to decorate the clothes the way you like them.
If you are really clever, you could even put on a show for your family! Let your imagination run wild!
Want to learn new things after school? Want to make new friends who aren’t in your class? You can get both of them in clubs. In other countries, schools, there are usually all kinds of clubs for kids to join. There is French club，student government, theater, choir (合唱队）and photography club.
Take photography club as an example. One may learn all the necessary skills about taking photos. For example, you will learn how to choose a camera，how to use the light and how to develop pictures. Sounds cool, right?

解析试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是其他国家的小孩子们都是怎样度过他们的业余时间的。如有些孩子会把爸爸妈妈的一些旧衣服、鞋、帽子找出来，穿在身上来扮演不同的角色；还有些孩子会参加一些俱乐部，这样不仅可以学到新的知识，还能交到新的朋友。
【小题1】主旨大意题。Ａ开办一个俱乐部；Ｂ学习一个俱乐部；Ｃ 一个重要的俱乐部；Ｄ摄影俱乐部。文章的后半部分说的是有些孩子们放学之后参加俱乐部。摄影俱乐部只是其中之一，故太片面了。ＢＣ不符合文意。故选Ａ。
【小题2】段落大意题。第一段中有这样一句话，Come on, we need something new!，快来，我们需要新的东西。由此我们可以知道，国外的孩子们度过业余生活的方式和我们是不一样的。故选Ｄ。
【小题3】细节理解题。根据文章中第五段One may learn all the necessary skills about taking photos. For example, you will learn how to choose a camera，how to use the light and how to develop pictures可知，参加摄影俱乐部的孩子可以学习照相的基本技能，怎样选择照相机，怎样使用灯光以及怎样洗照片。没有提到可以免费的得到一个照相机。故选Ｂ。
【小题4】主旨大意题。这篇短文主要为我们介绍了国外的孩子们是怎样度过他们的业余时间的，他们的方式和我们的很不一样。故选Ｃ。

Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的). Some Americans who taught English in other countries recently talked about their experiences.
On her first day in Micronesia(密克罗尼西亚), an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. It was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks? ” The woman there said nothing. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows(眉毛), which in Micronesia means “yes”.
Jane remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria(保加利亚), a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jane waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. Some nod and others shake. He thought some students had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon knew that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.

Jean is a clever young woman who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that Jean’s family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her . In fact, Jean is quite lonely. So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ.
