Starting senior high school can be difficult．You may feel nervous because you don't know where to go for class．Meeting new friends might make you nervous，too．Don't worry．You are not alone．You are going to school with a group of students of your age，and we have several suggestions to share．
•Stay clean．No one likes a classmate with a bad smell．So you need to shower every day，brush your teeth and wash your hair．Try to make yourself look tidy，whatever you wear．
•Forget your fear and just talk to someone．Take a deep breath and find your voice．Introduce yourself and start a conversation about something you have in common．Sit in the middle of the classroom with many new friends around you．
•Differences are not a problem．Everyone has his own opinion of the world and everyone believes in different things．You'll find it good to have friends with different ideas．In this way，you can share and learn a lot more from each other．
•Join clubs．What clubs can you join？You can join the ones with the after﹣school activities that interest you．Being in a club helps you be more social．If not，you will just go to class and then go home．
•Ask others to join you．Are you sad being alone while others are playing happily？You will probably say"yes"．So remember to be kind to the people around you．If you see someone sitting alone，invite him to hang out or play games together．

Recently， a junior high school sent several students back home because they broke the school uniform（校服）rules． Should students wear school uniforms？ The Young World magazine held a discussion on this topic（话题）．
Kennedy： The school uniform is very important， because it always reminds me that I am supposed to go out of my way to study hard． It also helps prevent school bullying（欺凌）． If everyone wears the same clothes， it is impossible to laugh at other people's clothing．
Manson： The uniform has to be earned（获得）through efforts． Students should start school with no uniforms． As they make progress at school， they start wearing it． I always think children need to be proud of their school． The uniform is important for that． So， make students earn it! If they don't perform well， they should not be allowed to get one．
Moorhead： In my opinion， kids don't have to wear uniforms． There should be more choices open to kids in education． They ought to develop their own independence and just be themselves．
Their personalities would be expressed through their own clothes at school． And different dress could be one way of showing their understanding of beauty． Besides， they make the school lively and colorful．
Patrick： I can see the advantages of wearing school uniforms． They play a very important role in managing schools． However， a school should not depend heavily on uniforms to improve students' behaviors． Teaching them how to express themselves with confidence（信心）is more important．

In fact，other buildings can be recognized more easily．The shape of the building shows the objects people can see inside．In Guizhou，China，people can visit the Meitan Tea Museum，built in the shape of a big teapot．From far away，the teapot﹣shaped museum looks like some kind of huge work of art．But as one gets closer，the windows make it clear that this is a building．
People who are interested in guitars might want to visit the Guitar Museum in Tennessee，USA．The building is shaped like a guitar，inside visitors can see all kinds of guitars and learn about famous guitar players．
One of the newest funny﹣shaped museums is a pottery（陶器）museum in Korea．This museum，built in 2011，is shaped just like a traditional Korean pot．Along with seeing examples of pots and tools used for making pots in the museum，visitors can try to make their own pots there．

According to a survey by giant Alibaba in 2018， the market for the second﹣hand book was booming last year as more Chinese tend to trade or exchange their used books online．

It's been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid ，which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time，The Kid was made in black and white and was silent （made without any sound，not even the characters talking）.The story is about the relationship between " the Tramp"，played by Chaplin，and his adopted （领养的）child，played by Jackie Coogan.The pair develop a partnership where the six year﹣old boy breaks windows and runs away，so that Chaplin's character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy，it also has some tragedy，reflecting Chaplin's own life.He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died.Chaplin was known for being hard to please，and it is said that if he could，he would have played every role in every one of his films.When Chaplin visited a theatre，a dancer brought his son，Jackie Coogan，on stage，and Chaplin knew he had his co﹣star （联袂主演者）.Chaplin later wrote， "All children in some form have talents；the trick is to bring it out in them.With Jackie it was easy.
Like the Kid in the film，Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor.They lived in London and were raised by their mother.When Chaplin was 10 years old，his mum became too ill to loo after her sons，so they had to take care of themselves.He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based （基于）on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children.

knew much about Chaplin before |

played every role in Chaplin's films |

You may study differently from your friends，but your study habits are not wrong!
Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common.They love doing things together，such as going to movies and concerts，shopping，or just sitting at a small cafe.Since they take a lot of the same school subjects，they would love to study together，but they find this impossible.Their working styles are so completely different that they can't be in the same room while they are studying!
Kelly would like to study in a clean，open space，while Maria works best with books，papers and other things around her.Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room，but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on.Kelly can sit for hours without moving，and often gets all her homework done in one sitting.Maria，however，is always getting up，and says that she thinks best when she's on the move.
You might be asking yourself：which way of studying gets better results？Many people believe that a silent，tidy setting（环境）is the way to go，▲.Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus（聚焦）their attention，because it makes them form a "wall" in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.
So，if you're a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center，don't worry about it.If you work in total silence，that's OK，too.Judging from Kelly 's and Maria's study habits，the best way to study is the way that works for you.In their very different ways，both of them do well in school，and both finish their work within the required time as well.

（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph of this passage？
A.Students who like to study in silence will be more successful.
B.Both study habits can help students make progress in their studies.
C.Only a small number of students can study well in a noisy situation.
D.Friends with different study habits can do better by studying together.

| May 20，2021 Dear Principal， I think the students in our school should wear uniforms.Many schools already have them.Uniforms will help our families save money，since we would have to buy only one or two uniforms for the whole year.Uniforms could also give us more pride in our school.And best of all，if we all wore uniforms，kids wouldn't tease each other about their clothes. I know some students think uniforms are ugly and uncomfortable.But maybe we can pick a uniform that everyone likes.I think this is a wonderful idea for our school. Sincerely， Justin Jones |
