24、   In American schools, there is something called Homecoming Day（校友返校日）. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a Homecoming game on that day. This can be the most important thing of the year except the graduation ceremony. Students plan for Homecoming Day many weeks in advance（预先）.

Several days before Homecoming Day, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming Day twenty or thirty years after their graduation.

The members of some school clubs build booths（摊位）and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome the visitors.

During the day, people like to look for teachers whom they still remember. They often see old friends and talk together about those happy years in school.

Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student as Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen.

25、BEIJING—Heavy haze (霾) still covered north and east China on Saturday, with

highways closed and flights delayed or canceled (取消).

The smoggy weather affected the country’s land from north to south, including Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong, with visibility less than 50 meters in some areas.

Cities like Shanghai and Nanjing have been enveloped in the grey sky for the past several days. Many walkers in the street had to wear masks. In the Lukou airport in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, more than 60 inbound and outbound flights were canceled on Saturday because of the hazy, which also forced primary and middle schools and kindergartens to stop classes on Thursday and Friday in Nanjing.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection said earlier this week that there were several main reasons behind the widespread haze: unfavorable weather conditions making it difficult for pollutants to diffuse (消散), motor vehicle exhaust (尾气), coal use for winter heating.

The Chinese government now plans to clean up the air by cutting coal use, closing some factories and promoting cleaner production.

26、In March 2014, Australia opened junior high education to Chinese students, allowing them to study in Australian schools from the seventh grade.

“When more Chinese students are going to study abroad at a younger age, the opening of Australian junior high schools offers Chinese students and their parents one more good choice,” Tian Litie, director of the Australian Department of Chivast Education International, said at the China International Education Exhibition Tour over the weekend.

Australia will see a rise in the number of Chinese junior and senior high school students studying in the country. Tian showed the reasons for it： lower admission (入学许可) requirements and low-cost education because of a favorable exchange rate (费率). According to Tian, in public schools in Australia a student should pay A$13,000 to A$15,000 ($10,000 to $12,000) a year.

“Now the exchange rate of the Australian dollar to renminbi is below five, which means the cost is lower than that of Chinese students studying at junior and senior high schools in many other hot places, such as Britain and the US,” said Tian.

Lin Lina from Beijing plans to send her daughter to a senior high school in Australia, was among them.

“My daughter is good at English and would like to study abroad early,” said Lin, whose daughter is now a ninth-grader in Beijing. “We came for more information after we learned that the environment and education in Australia are good.”

Eliza Chui, education officer for North Asia at the Australian Consulate-General in Shanghai, said that Australia is attractive not only because it provides an environment for learning English, but also because students are trained to have critical (批判性的) thinking and be independent.

【1】According to Tian Litie, we know that ______.

A. more and more Chinese students study abroad at a younger age

B. more and more Australian universities are open to Chinese students

C. Chinese students are only allowed to study in Australia from senior high school

D. a student should pay A$10,000 to A$12,000 a year in public schools in Australia

A. Australia allows Chinese students to study in its schools.

B. More and more Chinese students go abroad at a younger age.

C. More Chinese junior and senior high school students will study in Australia.

D. Australian schools offer Chinese students and their parents one more good choice.

A. The cost of studying in American schools is lower than in Australia.

B. The exchange rate of the Australian dollar is of advantage to Chinese students.

C. It’s more difficult for Chinese students to enter Australian junior high schools.

27、In one’s life, one spends the most time being with oneself. However, one has the least understanding of oneself. When you are successful, you may be very proud.

If you don’t know when and how you should look after yourself, you won’t be able to stay away from illnesses.
