AOn the first day of my new high school, I almost had a nervous breakdown. Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You're nervous and that's okay. Everyone is afraid of high school.” I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle that I couldn't figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be? I didn't think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it!Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.Since then, I've been elected（选举）vice monitor of my class, which wasn't much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions.It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because you'll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn't straight A's.Most important of all, be who you are, whether you're a “fool”， an athlete, or a lower grader. Don't try to pretend to be someone you're not. Now you know the true secrets of high school. 21. The main reason for the author's fear on his first day is that ________.A．he was not familiar with the new surroundingsB．his schoolmates were unfriendly to himC．he was unable to work out the puzzleD．his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry22. From the author's first day experience we can infer that ________.A．he didn't know the right way to classB．he got to school before classes beganC．he was fond of the school immediately.D．his home was far from the school23.

According to the passage, the secret of the author's success lies mainly in________.A．making more friendsB．getting more A's at schoolC．being who he really isD．joining in out of class activitiesBLiving in the wild can be hard．Finding food and staying safe aren't easy．Each day, animals try to survive in their habitats．Not all animals get by on their own. Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals．These pairings are called symbiotic(共生的)relationships．In a symbiotic relationship, the animals depend on each other．One animal helps the other meet its needs．Sounds good, right? Not always．Some animals are not very kind to their partners．In some cases, one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner．Take ticks(扁虱), for example．These insects suck blood to live．To get blood, they attach themselves to other kinds of animals．Ticks can pass germs（细菌）that cause disease instead of helping their hosts．In other relationships, animals don't treat their partners so poorly．Both animals benefit from living with the other animal．Small animals called cleaner shrimps(清洁虾）have found a way of helping fish．As their name suggests, the shrimps clean the fish．They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station．A fish stops by．Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fish's mouth．The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fish's body．That can include dead skin and tiny pieces of food that can hurt the fish．The fish gets a nice cleaning．The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash．Small birds called plovers（灰斑）are also in the cleaning business．They have big customers-crocodiles.Crocodiles have long noses filled with sharp teeth. Cleaning them is funny. When a crocodile opens its mouth, the plover hops right in．It lets the plover eat small, harmful animals attached to the crocodile's teeth．The plover gets an easy meal while the crocodile gets clean teeth．25 The text is mainly about ________．A．the hard life in the wildB．some dangerous animalsC．animals living togetherD．animals in a symbiotic relationship26. According to the text, in a symbiotic relationship, ________．A．animals depend on each otherB．birds depend on animals for foodC．both sides can get helpD．not all animals treat their partners well27. According to the text, it can be inferred that ________．A．living in the wild can be simpleB．different animals have different living waysC．crocodiles mainly live on ploversD．ticks are useful to some animalsCHumans were designed to stand upright. And yet in this modern world, too many of us spend our days with our heads lowered for a simple reason: we’re staring at the tiny sc reen of a smart phone.People spend an average of 2 to 4 hours each day with their neck bent while shooting off emails or texts. That’s 700 to 1,400 hours a year. The success of social media has led to a rapid development of bad smart phone posture（姿势）.T he average adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds when it’s in the upright position. However, because of the gravity, bending your head at a 15 degree puts 27 pounds of pressure on your spine(脊椎)；a 30 degree neck bend could equal 40 pounds of pressure; a 45 degree bend adds the force of 49 pounds, according to the research from Dr. Kenneth Hansraj from New York. These stresses may lead to many problems.It’s no secret that correct posture is better for your back. According to the researchers, good posture is described as ears aligned(成一条直线) with the shoulders. In proper alignment, spinal stress disappeared. It is the best position for the spine. Standing tall doesn’t just make you look better; it improves your health, too. Other studies have found good posture has even been connected to ways of behaving. People who have poorer posture often have poorer physical and emotional health.The researchers describe bad posture as “the head in a forward position and the shoulders dropping forward in a rounded position”. Bad posture has been con nected to many medical problems, including headaches and other problems, depression and heart disease. This is why Hansraj said it’s important to be mindful of your smart phone posture. Though it is nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these problems, people should make an effort to look at their phones witha correct posture.28.

What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A. It’s healthy to bend your back regularly.B. Your back is getting exercise as you bend it.C. The average weight of an adult head always changes.D. The more you bend your neck, the more stresses your spine gets.30. Where does the text most probably come from?A. A text book.B. An advertisement.C. A health report.D.
