How much do you know about school life in Singapore?

In Singapore, many middle school students spend a lot of time on their studies. People always think that good schooling is the ticket to success (成功). So, many of these students try their best to get good results in their exams. They have a lot of homework every day and exams are usually a big problem to them. Sometimes, a few even have to go to evening classes after school.

Schools have many activities outside school hours. The students can join in sports and games, music and dance, swimming and rock-climbing. They also join in community service（社区服务)

In their free time, most students like to listen to pop music. Hollywood movies, Hong Kong and Singapore movies are very popular, too. Some of them also spend their free time searching the Internet, e-mailing their friends, playing computer and video games.

     Taking an after-school class will give you a head start in high school. But if it means walking home
every day, even in snow and rain, would you do it?
     I did. I took part in an after-school Spanish class. Because it was after school, no school buses were
there to take me home when the class ended. And my parents couldn't pick me up, so I had to walk home.
     At first I hated the walk because of the long distance. But after a few months, I got used to (习惯于)
it and it became one of my daily activities, like getting dressed and brushing my teeth. And I began to
enjoy it. I got to see things like birds flying and trees changing color. A few times I saw something very
special, like a small snake near the sidewalk, or two cars that came very close to crashing!
     Many of my classmates saw what I did. Once, one girl in my class asked her mother to drive me
home because it was raining outside, and I didn't have an umbrella (雨伞). Some people who I didn't
know even gave me a ride - they thought it was too cold out.
     People always think walking long distances is difficult. Modern technology (技术) makes common
things, like walking, seem impossible. Many people, like myself, live in the country and are close to
nature, but also far away from it because of technology.
1. What class did the writer take part in after school?
A. Math class
B. Spanish class
C. Art class
D. English class
2. When did the writer begin to enjoy walking home?
A. At the very beginning.
B. After a week.
C. After a few months.
D. After a year.
3. Why did the writer begin to enjoy walking home?
A. Because something interesting happened on the road every day.
B. Because the writer could get a ride from some strange people.
C. Because the writer enjoyed walking in the rain alone.
D. Because the writer could enjoy some interesting things happening on the road.
4. When it was a rainy or snowy day, ______.
A. some kind people would give him a ride
B. nobody saw him and nobody helped him
C. the writer would choose to stay at school
D. the writer's parents would come to pick him up
5. What does the last paragraph want to tell us?
A. It is difficult for many people to walk long distances.
B. Modern technology brings people a lot of inconvenience (不方便).
C. Modern technology makes people live better, but farther from the nature.
D. It is impossible for people to walk a long distance nowadays.

I’m Alfred. I was born with a problem in my backbone and mobility(行走能力）was a big challenge, but thanks to my teachers and friends, my school life was excellent.
My friends and I used to sit together and have lots of fun. Whenever we got a free period, we used to start shouting or play games. I would take part in all competitions, such as poetry writing, story writing and painting and all activities like Teachers’ Day or anybody’s birthday and had much fun.
My English teacher was very tall. The moment she would enter the class, we would all sit quiet and open the books. She would encourage me by giving me important assignments and also morning news to read during the assembly. She would come down and hear my English debate(辩论), which made me participate in all debate competitions.
The same was true of my biology and science teacher. She was very nice and sweet. She would always give me extra information on the biology project. I could not go to the lab for the practicals (lessons or exams in science, cooking etc. in which you have to do or make something yourself rather than write or read about it), so she would bring the lab down and help me with the biology and science practicals and would give me excellent marks.
My friends made me monitor and the naughty boys listen to me. My friends used to help me with my notes if I was absent. My teachers always gave me important project work and I felt proud when they patted me on the back after I finished it quickly and correctly.
I was never shouted at or made fun of or scolded(批评) by any of my friends and teachers. Today I saw the terrible punishments given to students on television news. I felt very sad.
I really want to express my love and thanks to all my wonderful teachers and friends, without whom my school life would not have been so excellent and unforgettable. I really pray to God that each child in the world is blessed with caring teachers and wants to attend school every day.
