School days are the best days of your life—or are they? If they are, why do so many people have problems during those years?

Exam stress, pressure(压力) from parents and friends can be a bit of a shock after the happy days of primary school． Yes, you will get through, but will you come out on the other side with good experiences, good grades and good friends? Or will you overwork, but not do as well as you should or find yourself left out by your friends? There’s no doubt about it． School is the ideal place for at least one or two hard lessons in life．

School is also a place full of opportunities(机会) and new experiences． You are independent(独立的) of your family there, and you begin to make your own way and make lifelong friends． You learn lessons at school—not only about the world, but also about yourself, about other people and how to make friends with them． You go on having ideas of your own, learning how to take responsibility(责任) and how to stand on your own feet．

A great thing about school is: it doesn’t last forever! Whatever challenges you are facing at school, there is an end to them． Like everything in life, you will get through them and they will soon become a memory．

51．What will you get through at school according to paragraph 2?

A．Self-doubt．                                       B．A lot of stress or pressure．

C．Happy days．                                     D．A great shock．

52．The underlined part “find yourself left out by your friends” in paragraph 2 means you find that your friends ________．

A．don’t include you in their activities       B．don’t trust you any more

C．work much harder than you                  D．get higher grades than you

53．Which is mentioned in the text?

A．You may work too hard but still fail exams．

B．School is a place full of good experiences．

C．Family members will share responsibility with you．

D．Many people had problems when they were at primary school．

D

If you feel sad or upset, remember not to watch a happy movie． A sad movie may be more suitable for you．

Some scientists at Ohio State University, the U．S．, have found that sad movies can make people happier． They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research．

Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement． The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated． They died during World War II at the end of the movie． The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings, including sadness．

According to the result of the survey, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie． Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships． Compared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie, their lives were full of hope．

“I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie has made me think a lot,” one student wrote．

Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the leader of the study, explained that bad moods (情绪) would make people more thoughtful． “Good moods are generally a sign that everything is fine． You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about problems in your life,” she said． “But bad emotions, like sadness, make you feel terrible about your situation． Therefore, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more．”

54．The scientists asked the college students to watch Atonement ________．

A．to help them make more friends

B．to make them feel better about themselves

C．to find out how they felt after watching it

D．to encourage them to share their feelings

55．How many times did the students answer questions from the scientists?

A．Six times．      B．Five times．           C．Four times．          D．Three times．

56．What does the underlined word “those” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．stories．          B．feelings．              C．friends．                D．lives．

57．What is the best title for this passage?

A．Feeling Sad? Watch a Sad Movie

B．Feeling Lonely? Find True Love

C．Feeling Bad? See a Happy Film

D．Feeling Down? Think about Others

Taboos (禁忌) of different people’s culture

A taboo(忌讳，禁忌) is a social action that is not allowed． Every culture in the world has its own taboos． The breaking of a taboo sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable． I learned this through my own experience．

Last weekend, Wang Lin and I showed two foreigners (外国人) around our city． Mr Singh was from India and Mr． White from USA．When I held out my left hand to shake hands with him, Mr． Singh seemed to be unhappy． Mr． White, however, was quite casual (随意)． He said hello to me with a big smile and a wave of his hand．

In the evening, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner． I noticed that Mr． Singh didn’t touch the beef and Mr． White seemed not to like chickens’ claws (爪)． During the meal, Wang Lin said sorry to Mr． Singh and continued to explain that we didn’t know it was a taboo in India to shake one’s left hand． Mr． Singh explained that since oxen (牛) are sacred(神圣的) in India, people don’t eat beef there． Mr． White joined in and said that it was not usual in the USA for people to eat chickens’ claws． He went on to say that Americans don’t usually get into each other’s personal (私人的) space． Marriage, job and age are their taboos． Isn’t it a good lesson to remember?
