Do you hate exams? If you do, you are not alone. Students in other countries hate them as well.Luckily for them, British students have fewer exams than Chinese students. And they only have them once a year. Every summer they take a test in each subject. Each test lasts about an hour. These exams dont count for much, even if a student does really badly they still progress to the next grade. When the results come out, they are then placed in an end-of-year report. The report is sent to the childs parents. It describes how the student studied at school.This report is private, so only the teacher, the student and his or her parents see it. This means that the students dont know how other students scored(得分) in the test. Some students choose to tell each other, but others keep it secret.Parents meetings are held twice a year, at the end of winter term and then at the end of the summer term. Children go along with their parents to meet their teachers privately and discuss their performance at school. （1）For British students, the school life is than that of Chinese students.A . more relaxingB . much tenserC . more boringD . much harder（2）The underlined phrase “dont count for much” means A . 难以计数B . 不太重要C . 期望不多D . 难度不大（3）Which of the following is NOT true for British students?A .

The plane has made international travel faster and easier. The Internet has brought people closer. And you must know the names of some famous inventors like Henry Ford or Steve Jobs. But there are many everyday objects which you probably dont notice and you dont know who invented them. Take for example Nils Bohlin who invented the modem-day car seat belt (安全带).Before 1959, only two-point seat belts were available, and the only people who often wore them were race car drivers. The two-point seat belt couldnt protect passengers from internal injuries (内伤) during serious car accidents.In 1958, Bohlin joined Volvo Car Corporation as a safety engineer. Then he came up with the three-point seat belt to keep passengers from flying out of their cars during collisions. The three-point seat belt used one strap (带子) across the chest (胸部) and another across the legs and then the two joined at me same place.Amazingly, this was a very simple idea which no one had tried before. The three-point seat belt was introduced on Volvo cars in 1959. For more peoples safety, Volvo made the new seat belt design available to other car makers for free. Since then, engineers have worked to improve the three-point seat belt, but the basic design remains Bohlins.At the time of Bohlins death in September 2002, Volvo announced that the seat belt had saved more than one million lives since it was introduced.（1）The writer develops his ideas in Paragraph 1 by _.

The professor had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.Right after they came into the classroom, the professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked, How many of you have completed(完成) all five questions? No hand was raised. How many of you have answered four? Still no hands. Three? Two? The students moved restlessly in their seats. One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one. But the class kept silent. The professor said, That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you dont know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice. Then, smiling, he added, You will all pass this course, your education has just begun.The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.（1）Why did the students think the exam was easy at first?
