Anne goes to her art class on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. She always　 41 those days when she can do 　42 things all afternoon. 　43 　Anne likes best is the good feeling she gets when she has finished working on a piece of art. And then when she takes it home to 　44 her parents, she feels so proud of what she has made.

　　　 On Wednesday afternoons, Anne writes articles for the 　45　 newspaper. When she first moved to her school, she wrote an article about how it 　46 to be a new student in a new school. Her 　47 article in the newspaper was about a(n) 　48 from her school who had just finished writing a book.

　　　 Anne　 49 　the teacher what it feels like to be a published author. And then she 　50 what she found out with the rest of the school.

　　 Another time she wrote an article about 　51　 she thought the school should have two short 　52 a day instead of a long one. Lots of her friends thought that this would be a good idea too. Many teachers also agreed with Anne’s 　 53 .

　　　 Would you believe the 　 54 of the school asked everyone to have a vote(投票)about Anne’s suggestion? The headmaster always thinks that students should help decide how the school should be 　55 　.

　　　 During the vote, each person in the school voted. At last, the school decided that two short breaks would be 　56　 one long break. And all of that 57　 because Anne wrote about her 　58 in the school newspaper.

　　　 On the day the newspaper 　59 each month, the first thing Anne does is to　 check where her article is in the newspaper. And each time at the beginning of her article are the words: 60　 Anne Jefferson.

While I was waiting to enter university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job 36　 at a school about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of 　37 and wanting to do something 　38 I applied (申请), 　39 as I did so, that without a degree and with no 　40 of teaching my chances of getting the job were 　41 .

However, three days later, a letter arrived, calling me to Croydon for a meeting with the headmaster. It proved to be a　 42 journey: a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at 　43 a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling too hot to be nervous. It was clearly the 44 himself that 　45 the door. He was short and round.

"The school," he said, "is made up of one 　46 of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen." I should have to teach all the subjects except art, 　47 he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into　 48 groups and teach them in turn at three different 　49 , and I was　 50 at the thought of teaching maths—a subject at which I wasn’t very 　51 at school. Worse perhaps was the idea of 　52 to teach them on Saturday afternoon because most of my friends would be 　53 themselves at that time.

Before I had time to ask about my salary, he got up to his 　54 . "Now" he said, you’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really 　55 this school.

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

Many students find it hard to make friends when they are in high school. Keeping my suggestions in mind may give you a hand. They certainly helped me, and by the end of my three years of high school, I had formed my group of friends, with whom I still keep in touch now.

Here are my tips:

Say hello anytime I see an acquaintance（相识的人）.

Because I was always smiling and greeting the people I knew, people naturally thought I was friendly（though I am not naturally sociable）. And high school students want to be friends with sociable people.

Take the first step.

All the girls there already knew each other—they didn't need another friend. But I did, so I had to make the effort. I had to be the first one to invite somebody to go to a movie with me, or come to my house. Once I did that they started to respond with the same thing.

Use classes to get to know people.

I met most of my first friends because I sat next to them in class. Class（before, after, or even during class time）is a great opportunity to begin a conversation. For example, ask for help about homework.

Make friends slowly.

I couldn't get discouraged (泄气的) when it took a while to make friends．It really takes some time to make new friends. In a word, ________________________.

　Above all, remember that it can and will get better. You may have to work a little to make your high school experience a great one, but it's really worth it!

1. For what purpose does the writer write this passage?（Please answer within 15 words.）

____________________________________________________________________

2. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

I was believed to be sociable because of my friendly attitude towards others．

_____________________________________________________________________

3.Fill in the blank with a sentence.（Please answer within 10 words.）  _____________________________________________________________________

4. Which piece of advice does the following sentence belong to? (Write in detail)

Everybody should make friends patiently in high school.　

____________________________________________________________________

5.Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.　　  ___________________________________________________________________
