Im 15 years old. I study at Walsh Jesuit High School in Cleveland, Ohio, US. I like reading, traveling and listening to music. Im glad to share my experience with you.Have you ever wondered what PE classes are like in other countries? In China, PE tests are required to graduate from both middle school and high school. To get good grades on the PE tests, Chinese students will need to practice running as well as doing sit-ups and pull-ups. However, this is not the way that PE classes work in US high schools.In my high school, we are required to take two terms of PE to graduate. We play real sports during PE classes, such as basketball and volleyball. There are also some other typical American sports that we often play, such as kickball and dodgeball (躲避球).I didnt know the rules of kickball and dodgeball when I first came to the US. The teacher allowed me to sit on the sidelines and watch how other students played it in order to let me find out the rules.We also learn some useful life skills in PE. Last year, I learned how to do CPR(心肺复苏), which is a life-saving skill. We were also taught how to provide first aid to someone who is choking(窒息).These skills are a large part of the final grade for the PE class in my high school. Self-defense(自卫)is taught in PE class as well. This includes some tae kwon do(跆拳道)and karate(空手道) skills, as well as Chinese kung fu. It is practical. I prefer PE classes in the US to the ones in China. I think they are more fun and useful. What do you think?（1）The writer learned the rules of kickball and dodgeball through . A . a teachers instructionB . watching others playC . playing the sport herselfD . watching online videos（2）Which of these things did the writer NOT learn about in PE classes at Welsh Jesuit High School?

This work was made up of 37 books and had many subjects such as anthropology(人类学) and painting. Through the following few centuries, encyclopaedias were connected to religion (宗教). The first Christian edition appeared in 560 AD, and the first Muslim volume came to light soon after.One of the longest encyclopaedias ever was produced in 1403 when The Yongle Encyclopaedia永乐大典appeared in China. It had 11,095 volumes. Most of the original work has been lost .through the centuries, and people can see less than 400 volumes today. The word encyclopaedia coming from Greek means a general knowledge. It has been .in use for at least 500 years.In the 20th century, the Encyclopaedia Britannica became the most well known western work of this type. At the same time, topical encyclopaedias became the most popular, covering different topics. At the end of the century, many publishers began to publish them in digital formats such as Compact Discs (CDs) and Digital Versatile Discs (DVDs).（1）How many books did the first encyclopaedia have?

They often use the word sorryeven when they dont really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would start by saying Sorry to bother you. Do you know what time it is? If theyre five minutes late for an appointment (约会), they would generally greet the person by saying Sorry Im late!They use the word sorry in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a little over time. The two main dictionary definitions (释义) of sorry are: 1) feeling sad for someone else because of their problems or bad luck; 2) feeling regret because youve done something wrong. Now, think about this. Normally, when they want to ask a stranger a question, they start with Sorry to bother you. In this situation, they arent saying sorry because they feel sad for that person or because they feel regret.So what does sorry really mean? And why do British people use it so much? Well, in the British culture, saying sorry is a way to be polite, especially to people who they dont know very well. Its also a very clever way to get what they want. In a recent experiment, an actor went up to a different strangers on a rainy day to ask if he could use their mobile phones in order to make a call. When he went up to one group of strangers and asked them without saying sorry first, he was only 9 per cent successful in borrowing their phones. However, when he said sorry to another group of strangers about the bad weather before asking if he could use their mobile phones, he was 47 per cent successful. So maybe saying sorry is not just being polite, but it is also a good method to get what they want too!Title: Why do _ people say sorry?Main pointsDetailed informationThe situations in which they say _Asking for the timeBeing _ for an appointmentThe change of the meaning of sorryThe two main _ definitions of sorry;Feeling sad for _ problems or bad luckFeeling regret _ of ones own mistakesWhen British people ask a stranger a question by _with sorry, they are saying sorry neither because they feel sad for that person nor because they feel regret.The _ meaning of sorryA way to be politeA good way to get _ they wantThe result of an experiment shows its _ for one to succeed in borrowing a mobile phone by saying sorry.四、 根据下列句子及所给汉语注释, 写出空缺处各单词的正确形式 ( (共10题；共10分)7. （1分）单词拼写（1）_n玫瑰；蔷薇（2）_n善举；好意（3）_adj失望的；沮丧的（4）_n床边；床头（5）_n.短笺，便条（6）_pron的人；那个人；那些人（宾格）8. （1分）If you can only exercise once a week, thats _ (更好) than nothing. 9. （1分）Sara _ (借给) The Adventures of Tom Sawyer to me yesterday. 10. （1分）China is one of the most_(有影响力的) countries in the world. 11. （1分）J_is the first month of the year. 12. （1分）Our teacher _(分开) all the students into six groups in the morning. 13. （1分）The weather was terrible.
