Each day they are carefully planned by mission(任务) control. The 12-hour working day on the International Space Station(ISS) begins with a wake-up call. After a quick wash with a wet cloth, the crew(全体乘务员) have breakfast and run through the jobs for the day. Space stations are like large houses that need much care and attention. Much of the crews time is spent preparing and carrying out scientific experiments.At least two hours each day is spent on exercise. It is necessary to keep the crew healthy. In some ways, living in a space station is like being on a desert island. A crew of two or three astronauts has to survive far from home for weeks or months. If their mission is to be a success, they have to learn to live and work together as a team. Crew members have to learn to share jobs such as cleaning and repairs. They also have to talk about problems and discuss how to deal with them. Astronauts first feel the influence of weightlessness(失重) when the rocket engines are turned off. Straight away, they begin to float(漂浮), held down only by seat belts. Weightlessness allows astronauts to appear super strong. They can lift objects that would be far too heavy to move on the earth. Without the influence of gravity(重力), astronauts become weak. To stay fit, they have to exercise several hours each day. In a space station, there is no up or down. There is no difference between a floor and a ceiling(天花板). This can make astronauts feel sick until they get used to this strange environment. 4.Astronauts on the International Space Station work for hours every day.A.8 B.10 C.11 D.12 5.What is the crews time mainly used for?A.Exercising.

In America, at the beginning of the term, students must choose their courses and teachers first. While in China, students usually have no chances to choose their courses and teachers. Selecting(选择) is very important for students in America. So at the first term, dont select too many courses, or youll feel very nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time planning, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him. Because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades. There is another thing after you select the course and the teacher. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library. You must get ready before class. In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages students to ask questions or show their ideas. They dont usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like. They dont give you much homework to do. You can learn some knowledge and do exercises by yourself. So in American schools, you must do almost all things yourself.8.Youd better not select too many courses at the first term because .A.you will feel worriedB.there is not enough timeC.teachers always give too much homeworkD.some subjects are too difficult9.Which of the following is NOT true about a “killer”?A.Leave too much homework.B.Give too low grades in the exam.C.Always be late for class.D.Give too many exams.10.Which of the following is NOT true?A.The textbooks are always very expensive in America.B.Some students borrow textbooks from the school library to save money.C.The teacher encourages students to discuss in class.D.Students must take their own seats in class.11.Whats the best title of the passage?A.The Wonderful American ClassB.The Difference between American and Chinese SchoolsC.The Study Method of American StudentsD.Teachers Play an Important Role in American SchoolsDOn Miriam Gardsbanes 9th birthday two years ago, her aunt gave money to a group that cares for elephants. The woman, who lives in Kenya, told the group she was giving the money to celebrate Miriams birthday. Miriam and her mother then visited Africa to learn how that money was helping to support elephants. Miriam fell in love with the animals and wanted to help save them.A few months after visiting Africa, Miriam watched How I Became an Elephant, a documentary about the mistreatment of elephants in Thailand, and a young girls campaign to save them. Miriam decided to make her own effort to raise money to save elephants.Last year, Miriam created a group called They Deserve to Be Free after seeing a programme that showed young elephants being mistreated in Thailand.She asked her friends to give money to the park rather than giving her birthday gifts. She made and sold baked goods, and made signs about elephant abuse.She also created a plan to make and sell clay elephants. She asked her art teacher to help her make the elephants.Miriam says she is lucky because her mother and her art teacher support her. Her father says Miriam is serious about helping the animals. He says that what her daughter is doing is making her a little bit more mature.Miriam now knows a lot more about animals and what is happening to them.She is proud of her work, and is happy that she can help elephants. She and her friends often sell their clay elephants at a local farmers market. Last year, she sold about $2,000 worth of them and sent all of that money to the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. 12.Miriam Gardsbane is years old now.A.9 B.10 C.11 D.1213.They Deserve to Be Free is .
