Reading comprehensionA. Choose the best answerOne evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Smith called a family meeting. "We've had to make a difficult decision." Mr. Smith said. "You see, your mother has been offered a post as manager of a television station in Chicago. Unluckily, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we've concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago."Marc looked surprised, while his sister May breathlessly started asking when they would be moving. "It's surprising, but exciting!" she said. Marc simply said," We can't go---I can’t leave my all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!"Mr. and Mrs. Smith hoped that by the time they moved in August, Marc would grow more accustomed（适应）to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings.When the morning of the move arrived, Marc was missing. His parents called Tommy Lyone’s house, but Mrs Lyons said she hadn't seen Marc. Mrs. Smith became increasingly concerned, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.What they didn't know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy's house, with an idea of hiding in the Lyons' attic (阁楼) for a few days. But as Marc walked past all the familiar sights of the neighbourhood; the green fence he and his mother painted, the tree he and his sister used to climb and the part, where he and his father often walked together, he changed the idea.

Answer the questionsChinese VS American SchoolsThere are many differences between the Chinese and American school systems.Firstly, the subjects that students learn in Chinese schools are the same across China. Almost all classes in the country—whether they are in math, science or English—will use similar books and materials. The education goals for the country are set by the government. Students don’t have many choices of subjects they can take. However, in the USA, the 50 states all have slightly different school systems. Students take basic classes such as math, science and English, but they may also choose classes like computer science, music art and business. Secondly, the exam system is part of Chinese tradition. For hundreds of years, the Chinese have used exams to decide which people were the best to work in the government. Today, the exam system is based to decide which university students should attend and what they will study. In the USA, classes set tests, but students from different schools don’t take the same test. Students apply to the universities they want to go to. They have to send their grades and write a letter about what they choose to study.Class sizes are different. Teachers in China teach two classes a day, and they may have 50 to 60 students in a class. American teachers usually teach five or six classes a day because the classes are much smaller in each. Chinese students stay within the same group while they are at a school. In the Chinese system, this group of students will learn their subjects together. Often, they will not switch（转换）classrooms. Instead, teachers will come to their classroom. In America, students are not grouped. Students can take a class together but then _______________________________. They can have up to eight classes a day.88. Students in Chinese schools learn the same material, don’t they?89. Who sets the Chinese education goals?90. How do American students apply to the universities they want to go?91.
