In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.

Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school,it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.

One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interests, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendship, not to mention improving their chant.es in future college applications. The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.

What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.

Harry is eighteen now. He studies in a middle school. His parents like him very much and hope he can become a famous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him. They call him at six in the morning, after breakfast his father takes him to school in a car and in the afternoon, as soon as the young man comes back, the supper is ready. Of course, he never washes his clothes or goes to buy something in the shops.

Once Harry’s father was sent to London on business. He would stay there for half a year. Leaving, he told his wife to take good care of their son.

The shopkeeper was friendly to him. The man brought a lot of shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on a pair, suddenly he remembered something and took them off.

Kelly Payton's fifth grade students might read newspaper articles about immigration or Syrian refugees(难民) or climate change. Sometimes they read the same stories, and other times they're instructed to go online and like other readers, click on the headlines that most appeal to them.

By reading current stories about the concerns of others, Payton, a teacher at a public school, has noticed her students developing more empathy(共鸣).

That was the goal of “A Mile in Our Shoes” a new program from Newsela, which takes content from a variety of believable news sources like the Associated Press, The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, and rewrites the articles at five reading levels to make reading news accessible to all ages.

“ Relevance means so much to students,” Gross said. "When students feel as though a topic is related they perform better on standardized tests. It doesn't mean we throw out historical documents, but ii brings it much more to life when you can tic it to things in their lives and the communities around them.”

So in 2013, Gross developed an interactive platform, used by about 1 million teachers across America, where kids from grades 2-12 could read content that is interesting and understandable. For example, here’s two versions about sanctuary(庇护)cities.

The original story began: Ignoring fresh threats from the White House, city leaders across the U.S. are promising to strengthen their fight against President Donald Trump's promised crackdown on so-called “sanctuary cities" despite the financial risks.

The version rewritten for the lowest reading level began: Some U.S. cities are very welcoming when it comes to immigration(移民). Many cities have become “sanctuary cities.” These cities allow immigrants. They are welcome even if they do not have permission to live in the United States.

Adding this to Newscla wasn’t intended to be political, Gross said, but was a response to concerns he heard from teachers after the election that their students weren’t getting exposure to different opinions. Instead, kids were repeating what they heard at home from parents.

1.What might Kelly Payton's fifth grade students do?

A. Read news stories about global warning.

B. Make an attempt to protect Syrian refugees.

C. Go online to write comments on immigration.

D. Share some appealing headlines on the Internet.

2.What is the goal of “A Mile in Our Shoes''?

A. To improve students' listening ability.

B. To rewrite newspapers for all students.

C. To cooperate with some news sources.

D. To help students understand others’ feelings.

3.Why did Gross develop an interactive platform in 2013?

A. Because it could help students’ health.

B. Because students could make friends.

C. Because 1 million teachers could buy it.

D. Because it may be beneficial to students' lives.

4.Which of the following is Newsela' intention by rewriting the original story?

A. Train students to be political.

B. Appeal to the teachers’ attention.

C. Expose students to different views.

D. Have students repeal parents’ views.
