Finally I asked, "What was that all about?"
"Nothing, " he said, "My teacher said we should 26 our parents that we love them and see what they say. It's 27 .
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this "experiment" and how the other parents had 28 .

As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.
In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system, American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.
American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.
In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere is quite different.
50. Activities outside of the classroom refer to __________.
A. what the students do after class in school B. what the students learn in extra classes
C. what a music group or a sports team do D. what the teachers do after class for the students
51. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.The time of free education in China is longer than that in America.
B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university.
C.American students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period.
D. They can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam.
52. The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ________.
A.the atmosphere in high schools is quite different from that in a university
B. none of the schools in cities are good for learning
C. suburban high schools are good places for learning D. all the American students want to go to university

When people read daily newspapers, they expect to see latest news from all over the world. Some newspapers have offices or reporters in Washington, D. C. and other major cities around the world. Most newspapers depend on news services for international news. News services are organizations that gather and sell news to papers, radio and television stations. They are sometimes referred to as "wire services", because they originally sent stories over telegraph or teletype (電傳打字機(jī))lines, or "wires".
The two largest news services are the Associated Press (AP) and United Press International (UPI). Stories sent by these services have their initials—AP or UPI—at the beginning of the article. All large American newspapers are members of either the AP or UPI service. At one time, people had to wait for messengers(信差)to arrive by foot, horse or ship to learn the news. By the time it reached a newspaper, news could be months old.
Gathering news from around the world became much faster after the invention of the telegraph, teletype, telephone and transatlantic cable (電纜). Today, satellites, computers and fax machines can send stories, pictures and even videos around the world in seconds.
53. International news comes from_________.
A. newspapers B. radios C. news services D. television stations
54. Why do newspapers use news services?
A. To sell international news. B. To get news from all over the world.
C. To send news are quickly as possible. D. To send out all kinds of news of the world.
55. Which of the following statements is False?
A. News services have to buy news from newspapers, radio and television stations.
B. Every big American newspaper belongs to either the AP or UPI.

As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.
In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system, American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.
American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.
In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere is quite different.

When people read daily newspapers, they expect to see latest news from all over the world. Some newspapers have offices or reporters in Washington, D. C. and other major cities around the world. Most newspapers depend on news services for international news. News services are organizations that gather and sell news to papers, radio and television stations. They are sometimes referred to as "wire services", because they originally sent stories over telegraph or teletype (電傳打字機(jī))lines, or "wires".
The two largest news services are the Associated Press (AP) and United Press International (UPI). Stories sent by these services have their initials—AP or UPI—at the beginning of the article. All large American newspapers are members of either the AP or UPI service. At one time, people had to wait for messengers(信差)to arrive by foot, horse or ship to learn the news. By the time it reached a newspaper, news could be months old.
Gathering news from around the world became much faster after the invention of the telegraph, teletype, telephone and transatlantic cable (電纜). Today, satellites, computers and fax machines can send stories, pictures and even videos around the world in seconds.
