What do you usually do after school? Playing football? Watching TV? Come on, we need something new! Let’s see how kids in foreign countries spend their free time!
Mess Around with Dress-up
Do your parents have any old clothes? See if you get an old box and start collecting hats, shoes and clothes now! Then, when your friends come over after school,  you can play dress-up.  See if you  can make yourself into a doctor，or a cowboy,  or even a spaceman! Use glitter paint and old material to decorate the clothes the way you like them.
If you are really clever, you could even put on a show for your family!  Let your imagination run wild!
Want to learn new things after school? Want to make new friends who aren’t in your class? You can get both of them in clubs.  In other countries, schools, there are usually all kinds of clubs for kids to join.  There is French club，student government, theater, choir (合唱隊(duì)）and photography club.

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是其他國家的小孩子們都是怎樣度過他們的業(yè)余時(shí)間的。如有些孩子會把爸爸媽媽的一些舊衣服、鞋、帽子找出來，穿在身上來扮演不同的角色；還有些孩子會參加一些俱樂部，這樣不僅可以學(xué)到新的知識，還能交到新的朋友。
小題1:主旨大意題。Ａ開辦一個(gè)俱樂部；Ｂ學(xué)習(xí)一個(gè)俱樂部；Ｃ　一個(gè)重要的俱樂部；Ｄ攝影俱樂部。文章的后半部分說的是有些孩子們放學(xué)之后參加俱樂部。攝影俱樂部只是其中之一，故太片面了。ＢＣ不符合文意。故選Ａ。
小題2:段落大意題。第一段中有這樣一句話，Come on, we need something new!，快來，我們需要新的東西。由此我們可以知道，國外的孩子們度過業(yè)余生活的方式和我們是不一樣的。故選Ｄ。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章中第五段One may learn all the necessary skills about taking photos.  For example, you will learn how to choose a camera，how to use the light and how to develop pictures可知，參加攝影俱樂部的孩子可以學(xué)習(xí)照相的基本技能，怎樣選擇照相機(jī)，怎樣使用燈光以及怎樣洗照片。沒有提到可以免費(fèi)的得到一個(gè)照相機(jī)。故選Ｂ。
小題4:主旨大意題。這篇短文主要為我們介紹了國外的孩子們是怎樣度過他們的業(yè)余時(shí)間的，他們的方式和我們的很不一樣。故選Ｃ。

Middle school days are both fun and busy. Students spend their days in class, listening to the interesting and        boring words of the teacher. They spend the short breaks running, playing and shouting happily        going back to the classroom again. But        should students spend their free time outside school?
In Western countries, it is ordinary for students to have a part-time job after school and at weekends. Students can make their own money and learn more about the “        world”. They enjoy the independence(獨(dú)立) and(of course) money, and parents enjoy the quiet house.        , it seems that, in China, parents        so much about their children’s studies that they prefer to see their children        most of their free time studying and preparing for all those exams. It is natural for        to feel that way in China, but I believe the answer lies in balance. Sometimes, western school children work long hours after school to make money, so they become too tired to listen in class or have no time for homework. But Chinese students spend        much time on their studies that other things become3 less important.
So, find a good and healthy balance! If you have a part-time job and you feel        , your parents will also be happy because you’re spending the money you make and not theirs!

The Spring Festival is celebrated not only in China but also in other parts of the world. The traditional holiday is the most important to Chinese both at home and abroad.
United Kingdom
Celebrations for the Spring Festival in the UK started in 1980, with the first evening party held in 2002. Every new year, people get together and have a lot of activities. They sing songs, dance to music, share photos with friends or enjoy films in a cinema.
United States
The Spring Festival has become a key time for Chinese living or working in the US. They join in a large evening party to welcome the traditional new year. It is a good chance for people to build a circle of friends and feel that they are not alone because they share the same culture and values.
Australia
The Chinese new year will be welcomed with three weeks of celebrations across Australia. Many people come to Sydney’s Chinatown or Little Bourke in Melbourne. They enjoy fireworks, lion dances, dragon boat and many other traditional activities. The celebrations are also a bridge towards better understanding between Chinese and non-Chinese.
Singapore
The family dinner on new year’s eve is an important tradition for Chinese whether they were born in Singapore or moved there from China.

Hi, Louis!
I’m writing to tell you something about the customs(風(fēng)俗) and festivals.
Everyone loves holidays since one doesn’t need to go to school or work. Although all holidays mean no school and work, but not all of them are the same. On some of them you go out with friends; on others you stay home to eat, talk, and have fun with your family. For example in the USA, everyone thinks New Year’s Eve and New Year are both for playing with friends. Christmas is the time to stay home and exchange gifts with family members. The opposite (相反) is true in Japan though. For example, in Japan, New Year is for spending time with the family to eat, talk, have fun, and go to the temples. But Christmas is for boy and girl friends to go out and exchange gifts. Originally Christmas should be to celebrate(慶祝) the birth of Christ.
I have been interested in foreign customs since I was little. If you learn these different holiday customs, you will learn about different histories and cultures. This is much more interesting than learning them at the library from morning to evening.
Loves,
Judge the following sentence true(T) or (F)
小題1:Usually, nobody goes to school or works during holidays.
小題2:Christmas is the time to stay home to eat, talk and have fun with the family.
小題3:All the countries have the same way to celebrate the holidays.
小題4:Being interested in foreign customs means being interested in different histories and cultures.
小題5:This passage is about the customs and holidays in Japan.

For most people, the word "fashion (時(shí)尚)" means "clothes". But people may ask the question, "What clothes are in fashion?" And they use the word "fashionable" in the same way.
"She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour. "
But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs . . . and in languages.
Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.
Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.

It is well-known that the “prom”, a formal dance held at the end of high school or college, is an important date in every student’s life.

The idea is that you should see and be seen by others.
The prom is not just an American tradition, though most people believe that it started in America. In Canada the event is called a “formal”. In Britain and Australia the old fashioned word “dance” is more and more frequently being referred to as a “prom”. Most countries have some form of celebration when students finish high school: after all, it means the end of life as a child, and the beginning of life as an adult.
The prom is expensive to organize and the tickets can cost students a lot of money. The tradition is that students themselves have to raise the money to pay for it. Selling the students newspapers is one way to raise money; so is taking a part-time job at the weekend.
Although the prom should be the experience of a lifetime, it also worries many students. There is the problem of what to wear, who to take as your partner, who will be voted “prom queen”, etc. And it is not only students who feel worried. What many parents find difficult is the realization that their children’s school days are almost over. However, for most people at the prom, once the music starts playing, everyone relaxes and stops worrying.
