luckily enough to be one of the students from many　　　　　

different country to visit the UK from Feb.16 to 28.　　　　

We paid a visit to a good many of places, like London,　　　　　　　

Oxford or the Lake District. I learned much about British

culture and history in London, where was my favorite.

I also liked Oxford, in which I saw much more old buildings.

The Lake District was beautiful, but it was pity that it

rained heavily when I was there. The most excited thing

for me in Britain was that I made a lot of friends there.

　　 About 150 years ago, a German musician sat quietly at a concert in Vienna. They were playing for the first time a new symphony(交响乐) he had composed for the first time.. At the end he turned to face the people at the concert. They were clapping widely. 71_____The musician was Beethoven, one of the greatest composers in the world. Deaf people have a hard time. ___72__.

Even as a child Beethoven did not have a happy life. His father was a singer. But he was lazy and drank a great deal. When the boy was only four, his father decided to make a musician of him. ___73____ Whenever he did not put his heart into his practice, his father would be hard on him.

It is a wonder that the boy did not hate music. ___74____ When he was 17, he won high praise from Mozart, a great Austrian composer. A few years later Beethoven went to Vienna to study under Haydn, another great Austrian composer. Soon he was writing a great deal of music himself. But after one illness, he suddenly found himself deaf. At that time he was only 31. What a blow it was to him!

But this did not stop Beethoven. He went on composing. __75___ During his life, he composed about 300 pieces. The surprising thing is that he wrote some of his best, his most beautiful pieces after he became deaf. Many of them are known and loved all over the world.

A. But he could hear nothing for he was deaf.

B. However, his father didn’t come to listen to him play the beautiful music.

C. He learned so fast that he was able to go around and give concerts when he was only 11.

D. Beethoven left home and went out to practice his own music.

E. But it is even worse for a composer than for anyone else.

F. So Beethoven had to practice hour after hour on different musical instruments.

G. He wrote long pieces and short pieces, happy ones and sad ones,

One summer day as I was heading to the teaching building I heard someone call my name. I turned around and I saw Philip ,a counselor(顾问) at our admissions office(招生办公室)， standing with another young man, Philip introduced me to him, Stephen, and reminded me that Stephen would be taking one of my classes.

Stephen looked at me. With a somewhat painful expression, he asked if my class was going to be hard and if he would be able to pass. I introduced all the things that he would be expected to learn. As we talked, I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.

I told him to do all of his assignments, and to hand them in on time. Rather than being overwhelmed(压倒) by all of the work, I told him the most successful students made a master calendar of all the assignments so they could plan their workload.

As the fall semester went on, I learned more of Stephen’s story. It had taken him longer to finish the assignments than most young people. Family members , including his mother ,kept reminding him that he was a failure. But he kept at it and didn’t take them to heart. He told me that before coming to our college, no one believed he could manage it.

Stephen didn’t become an A student. Still, he managed to pass all of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his study into bite-sized parts. By passing course after course he began to gain a measure of self-esteem.

On his graduation day, he walked up to me, and said “Thank you.”

Recently, I took part in the first strategic planning meeting at school. I didn’t know what strategic planning meant when I was invited. So I set about trying to find out what it was. Later, I learnt it meant setting short and long term goals(目标).

The meeting took place in Ms Gallup’s room on Tuesday after school. I really didn’t know what to expect. I was very nervous ,but I felt very lucky to have been included. I really wanted to do the best I could.

The desks in the room were laid out into two circles so that the upper school and lower school could be divided. There were fifteen students in the room. We were directed to discuss how to advance the school, what we’d like to be taught, and what we thought could be improved upon. I felt this was a very important responsibility(责任) as I was representing the fourth grade. So I tried to do the best I could.

There were a lot of suggestions on how to improve our school. One student felt that the uniform sweater policy was really important and another student felt that building a paintable field would help improve the school greatly. I suggested that we should have Chinese classes because China is the most highly populated place on Earth with a growing industrial power. We should learn how to communicate with the Chinese .

We discussed a lot and sometimes the discussion became heated, but they were interesting. I think it is amazing that the teacher asked the students about their opinions and gave us a voice. It is exciting if they adopt(采纳)any of our suggestions.

63. What dose the strategic planning mean?

A.      It means inviting students to meetings.

B.      It means setting short and long term goals.

C.      It means helping students in their spare time.

“A child is dying out of breath!”I had just begun my working day in the city, when these words came through the radio of the police car I was driving. I turned on the red lights and siren (警笛) and drove off as fast as I could.“Just my luck！”I thought. I did not know this city well and my first call of the day was a life and death sudden happening, several kilometers away. 

 I got to the house. A mother, filled with fear, handed me her baby, his face already blue. Was I too late? Dear me！

 I did what I had been taught to do in such a serious condition. A small thing flew out of the baby's mouth onto the floor. It was a button. Thank heavens！The holes in it let a little air through.

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 (新生) 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 a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances 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 interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请). 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.
