In Singapore, many middle school students spend a lot of their time on their studies. Good education is often regarded as a ticket to success in their future. So, many of these students try their best to get a good mark in their examinations. They have a lot of homework every day and exams are a big headache. Sometimes, some of them are even made to go to remedial(补习的)classes after school.
Schools run programmes outside school hours. The students can take part in sports and games, music and dance, hiking and rock-climbing, etc. They are also very active in community service(社区服务).
In their spare time, most students like to listen to pop music. Hollywood blockbusters(大片), Hong Kong and Singapore movies are very popular among them. They understand it very well. Some of them also spend their free time surfing the Internet, e-mailing their friends, playing computer and video games.
They sometimes go to cafes, fast-food restaurants, shopping centres and big bookstores.

C
Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone.
Joining a club or a group, talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity.
Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all, meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.
Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are giving an opinion about us—finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease(不拘束). You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to keep self-confident even when you don’t feel that way. When you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.
If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person. Friendship is based on each other’s liking and “give and take”. They take time and efforts to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.

53. If you want to meet people and make friends, what should you do?
A. Join a club or group. B. Talk with those who like the same things.
C. Join someone in some activity. D. All of the above.
54. In the sentence “After all, meeting strangers means facing the unknown.”, the word “unknown” means__________.
A. without somebody knowing B. without somebody liking
C. unfriendly D. unpleasant
55. How do you feel more comfortable when you are with new people?
A. Shake hands with others.
B. Accept yourself as you are, and put the other at ease.
C. Don’t talk with those whom you don’t like.
D. Walk tall and straight.
56. If you’d like to speak to someone, what should you do?
A. You should wait until the person says something.
B.You should stay home alone.
C. You should cough until the person notices you.
D. You should say something at first.

D
Bamboo is one of nature’s most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but in fact it is a kind of grass.
Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant, which grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo which grow around the world on both mountains and plains.
Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from gold to black to green.
Bamboo has been used to make many things, such as hats and kitchen tools. Because it is strong, bamboo is also used to build buildings.
Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building and supporting new buildings and bridges while they are being built. As a matter of fact, the cables which hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan, China are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.
In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It stands to reason that bamboo is one of the best materials they can use. Bamboo pipes and a drill made of bamboo and iron allow poor farmers to bring water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money.

57. How is a bamboo like grass?
A. It is easy to cut. B. It grows quickly.
C. It is wood. D. It is green.
58. People use bamboo for making (building) __________.
A. hats B. tools C. building D. All of the above
59. Why is bamboo useful for African farmers?
A. It’s strong. B. It’s cheap.
C. It has been used by Asians. D. It is the best material.
60. How do farmers in Africa get water for their thirsty fields?
A. They use bamboo pipes to carry water. B. Tey use engineers.
C. They bring water from the rivers. D. They carry water from underground.

When I was young, I used to be afraid of tests. Today I look froward to taking them. How did it happen? I changed my way of thinking. I used to look at the good students and wonder why I couldn’t be like them. I thought, “What would I do if I were a really good student?” Now I know the secret.

Also I don’t froget my mistakes anymore
