Do you still remember what happened on your first day of senior high school？ I still remember my first day of senior high school. On that day， I hurried to my science class in the morning and found a seat in the back. I waited there for 15 minutes before the bell rang. The science teacher told us some class rules. No one talked to me. Nor did I talk to anyone else. I was one of those very shy girls. After the science class， I had an English class. I figured it would be boring but it turned out to be very funny.

When the classes of the morning ended， I went to lunch. I sat outside the dining room with no one to talk to and no food because I was too nervous to join the lunch line. I kept looking around， hoping to see someone I knew but I never saw anyone.

Lunch ended and I went to have my art class. I was the first one there and even my teacher was not there yet. So I sat at my desk and started drawing some pictures. I didnt notice the rest of my classmates walking in or the girl that was standing behind me till I was surprised by the voice， “So what are you drawing？” It was a girl who had really long hair. She ended up being my best friend and one of the kindest and liveliest girls I knew.

In the next class meeting， the teacher asked us to talk about the past holiday. I was glad to make some new friends in the class. The first day of senior high school was hard for me but I got through it.

After entering high school， you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you：

Go to class.

If you want to do well at school， going to class is the first step in studying well. If you miss classes， you will miss what the teacher thinks is important. 1

Take good notes.

Try not to write down everything. 2 Write down unfamiliar terms. After class， review your notes as soon as possible. You can fill in details that you missed and review the material

（資料） while it is still fresh in your mind.

3

If you are struggling in class， talk to your teacher. He or she may be able to give you more help before or after class. Most teachers are willing to help students who just become worried about failing.

Take part in class discussions.

In order to learn more in class， it is helpful to take part in class discussions. Asking questions and having eye contact with your teachers and classmates can increase your participation and your focus during the class discussions. 4 This helps you make your point clear in class.

Form study groups.

5 Make sure that everyone is familiar with the material because you do not want to spend time reteaching the material to people who do not understand it. Be careful！ Sometimes group sessions can become chatting sessions.

A. Dont be late for your class.

B. Write down the main points.

C. Talk to your teacher if you need help.

D. You should write down all the new terms.

E. So if you want to study well， go to every class.

F. Get students together who want to do well in class.

“Welcome to a new school year. Im Mr Stevens and Im sure Ill learn all your names in no time.” He walked around the class handing out math books. When it was done， he returned to the front of the class and looked at us. We stared back. “What are you waiting for？ Get started，” he said.

We looked at him and were confused. Wasnt he going to teach us？

“Is there anything wrong with your ears？ Youre not all deaf， are you？”

A brave boy at the back of the class asked what we all wanted to know. “Mr Stevens， arent you going to teach us？”

Mr Stevens said， “Youre smart kids. Open your books and get down to your study. If you have any trouble or any questions， raise your hand， and Ill help you.”

My friend Paul and I exchanged glances and opened our books to the first chapter （章）. A competition began. Paul and I spent all our free time at home working through the lessons. Mr Stevens， keeping his word， helped anyone who was stuck in a problem. We worked hard and finished two and one half math books the first year. It was a turning point in my life. Mr Stevens made me realize I was good at math and also able to reach the top of any class I attended.

Monty Pythons Flying Circus （馬戲團(tuán)） was a popular television show back then. The actors brought the best British humor into our Canadian lives. Mr Stevens would often act out one of their skits in front of the class. Some thought he was strange， and I guess he was， but he knew how to make a math lesson interesting.

1. What was special about Mr Stevens according to the author？

A. He was strict with the students. B. He treated each student the same way.

C. He brought English humor into class. D. He taught the students to learn on their own.

2. Why did the author say it was a turning point in his life？

A. He came to like school from then on. B. He realized he could be a top student.

4. What does the underlined word “skits” in the last paragraph probably mean？

A. Important lessons. B. Lovely animals. C. Famous actors. D. Funny performances.

It is hard to say the first day of school in the United States because when the first day of school is and what happens on the first day of school usually are different by districts （地區(qū)）.

The first day of school for many school districts in different states is on the day after the first Monday in September. In some other school districts， school begins in mid-to-late August. For example， the Denver， Colorado schools go back in mid-August and schools in Cleveland， Ohio start back usually one week before the first Monday in September. The Boston， Chicago， New York City and San Diego schools start back on Tuesday or Wednesday after the first Monday in September.

Schools in Cleveland， Ohio used to start the school year on the day after the first Monday in September， but in the 1976—1977 and 1977—1978 academic years， the school year was affected by several bad snowstorms， especially cold. In the 1978—1979 school year， the Ohio Department of Education moved the start of the year to late August， one week before the first Monday in September. This went into effect in the 1980—1981 school year.

In most school districts in Utah， the school year starts between August 25 and August 30， and goes until the last week of May or the first week in June next year.

In American high schools， the freshmen （新生） classes usually go back one or two days before the rest of the school bodies for an orientation period. An orientation period helps the freshmen get familiar with their new school， its rules and surroundings.

In some schools， the freshmen classes have their photographs taken for identification （身份證明） purposes. Some high schools have tried to make the first week of school fun for incoming freshmen.

5. According to the text， where does the school year start earliest？

A. Denver. B. Boston. C. New York City. D. Cleveland.

6. What caused the Ohio Department of Education to change the start of the school year？

A. Some social events. B. The bad weather.

C. The entrance examinations. D. The increasing number of students.

7. How many months does the school year last in Utah？

A. About seven months. B. About eight months.

C. About nine months. D. About ten months.

8. Where is the text most probably from？
