Id never seen him cry before .The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? Hes all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home !” “Thank God !” I heard Mum cry .From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car.

In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to attend the school._The school day begins at 8：30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the day's studies. Each homeroom has an average of 4045 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school day. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities(设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunch­time, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years' each of the following subjects mathematics, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral(道德的) studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives(选修科目) are few.After­school ActivitiesClub activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs(baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs(English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.64Most Japanese high school students often have their lunch_.Ain restaurantsBin school cafeteriasCat home Din homeroom classrooms65Students in the USA go to school_days a year.A180 B200 C240 D30066.The underlined word “rarely” in the fourth paragraph means “_”Aalways Bnever Cseldom Doften67The best subtitle for the second and third paragraphs may be “_” AAt school BIn class CSubjects DHomeroomsDBoys need friends, suffer when they don't believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人)Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15­year­old boys and girls found that girls' friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”； they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the b
