Coke arrived at a lonely house, but he didn’t go into the room. He listened for a moment but he could not hear anything at all. “Why is it so quiet? Are the police waiting for me in there?” he asked himself. He went to the front door and pushed it. To his surprise, it was open! He went in very quietly. The room was clean, small and very warm.

Suddenly Coke froze. There was someone else in the room. He could feel it! He turned around quickly and, at the same time, put his hand on his pocket. There was a small knife there. He saw an old woman. She had a dish in her hands and there was a sweet smell of meat and vegetables. She did not look afraid. She did not even look surprised.

“I’m sorry,” She said, and put the dish down on the table. Coke could hardly believe his ears. Here he was, a stranger in her house and yet she said she was sorry!

“I’m sorry,” she said again. “I didn’t hear you. People often come to the door and knock, but I don’t hear them. I’m glad you came in.”

先通读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容,在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。

Going to a British school for one year was a fantastic and exciting experience for me. A British school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3:30 p.m. It means I could stay in bed for an extra hour.

On the first day, all the new students had a meeting. The headmaster told us about the school rules. He also told us that the best way to get respect was to devote ourselves to study and get high grades. This sounded like my school in China.

We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was difficult for me to remember all the faces and names.

I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school. Yet it was a bit challenging for me at first, because all the homework was in English. We had many subjects: English, History, Science, Art and so on, but we can stop studying some subjects if we have no interest in them. Then they can choose some other subjects.

I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating desserts(甜点) which usually come after their main meal. After lunch, we usually played on the school playground or relaxed under a tree.

I felt very lucky to experience this different way of life. I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again.
