I get up at 7:30 and get dressed for school. My school has a uniform: black trousers and shoes, a white shirt and a black and gold tie. The girls wear the same, or they can wear a black skirt. We also have a black sweatshirt or we can wear a black jacket. Not all British students must wear uniforms, but it’s a r1. in our school.

I don’t live far from the school, so I walk there with my friends, Brian and Gemma. Lots of students catch the school bus or their parents d2. them to school. On Mondays we all start the day with Assembly(集会) in the school hall at 8:50. The headmaster talks to us and gives us information about school e3.for the whole week.

This year I’ve got nine s4.. We all study English, Maths and Science, and then we choose others. My favorites are IT and Art&Design. Brian likes Spanish and Japanese. Gemma is brilliant at Maths, so she goes to an Advanced Maths class.

We have 20 minutes for a b5. in the morning and an hour for lunch. Some students bring sandwiches to school for lunch, but my friends and I always eat in the dining room where you can get a hot meal every day.

Lessons end at 4 o’clock, but on Mondays and Wednesdays I stay at school until 5 o’clock. I to the Photography Club and the Athletics Club. There are lots of clubs and activities at our school. Brian g6. to the Film Club and Gemma plays in the school band.

At the end of the day I always spend two hours on homework, sometimes three hours. We get lots of homework now, for we’ve got our f 7. exam in June. After all, every one of us hopes to achieve a satisfying academic performance at school.

Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)

More than one million international students are studying in the United States. Many of them find it helpful to have a smartphone and an American credit (信用卡),

These things make it easy to pay for many kinds of goods and services. But getting a credit card as an international student is not a simple process. Normal U.S. lenders ask for a social security number(社会保障号码). In addition, They ask to see a person's credit history. This helps the lenders trust that someone is responsible and will make timely payments. These are the things most international students do not have.

But one company is trying to make the process easier and fairer for them.

Jack Guo is from China. He now studies at a university in California. He says having an American credit card makes it easier for students to get around town. And, he says, credit cards are important for international students who hope to live in the country in the future.

Kalpesh Kapadia came from India to study at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He faced the same difficulties that many international students face when trying to get an American credit card. He decided to open SelfScore(万事达信用卡).

Without asking for crediting history and a social number , SelfScore looks at materials such as passports , visas ,and acceptance letters to American school. The company also consider a student's ability to pay

About 10,000international students from more than 66countries now have credit cards through SelfScore. Kapadia says less than one percent of Self Score's credit card holders are late for their payments because of different kinds of reasons.

1.Is it easy for an international student to get a credit card in the U.S. A?

2.What do " the things "in the second paragraph refer to ?

3.What can Jack Guo do in America if he has a credit card?

4.How did Kapadia get rid of his difficulties in getting an American credit card ?

5.How many SelfScore's credit card holders pay on time according to Kapadia?

6.SelfScore considers a student's ability to pay when he/she wants to get a credit card.
