From age eight to eleven, I studied at a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes, with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects. However, sometimes the headteacher , Mr. Ronald Broaches would come in and spend an hour or so.
He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and would be glad in telling the children small stories which make us laugh.
I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles. He would stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle on it. As time went on, they slowly gave me an interest in math and problem –solving that stays with me to this day.
To this day, I can remember Mr. Broaches’ cheerful cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right. I shall always be thankful that our paths crossed.
Mr. Bruoaches died just two weeks after I won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. Unfortunately, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt late that he had heard of my success and I will always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.
1.The writer spent ______study at the school in Bath, England.
A.three years B.six years C.one year D.two years
2.The writer’s success shows us ___________.
A.Mr. Broaches often gave him some puzzles only for fun .
B.they had the same interest
C.Mr. Broaches found and developed his interest
D.Mr. Broaches was his father’s friend.
3.From the story, we can guess the writer______.
A.liked language lessons very well.
B.was a good football player
C.was good at math
D.had a great dream
4.The writer felt sorry because________________.
A.Mr. Broaches passed away before he won the Nobel Prize
B.he didn’t express his thanks before Mr. Broaches died.
C.he couldn’t find Mr. Broaches after he grew up
D.Mr. Broaches didn’t know about his success.

Hello, I'm Zheng Yishi from Shanghai. I'm 15 years old. I study at Walsh Jesuit High School in Cleveland, Ohio, US. I Like reading, traveling and listening to music. I'm glad to share my experience with you.
Have you ever wondered what PE classes are like in other countries? In China, PE tests are required to graduate from both middle school and high school. To get good grades on the PE tests, Chinese students will need to practice running as well as doing sit-ups and pull-ups. However, this is not the way that PE classes work in US high schools.
In my high school, we are required to take two terms of PE to graduate. We play real sports during PE classes, such as basketball and volleyball. There are also some other typical American sports that we often play, such as kickball and dodgeball(躲避球).
I didn't know the rules of kickball and dodgeball when I first came to the US. The teacher allowed me to sit on the sidelines and watch how other students played it in order to let me find out the rules.
We also learn some useful life skills in PE. Last year, I learned how to do CPR(心肺复苏), which is a life-saving skill. We were also taught how to provide first aid to someone who is choking(窒息).These skills are a large part of the final grade for the PE class in my high school. Self-defense(自卫)is taught in PE class as well. This includes some tae kwon do(跆拳道)and karate(空手道) skills, as well as Chinese kung fu. It is practical. I prefer PE classes in the US to the ones in China. I think they are more fun and useful. What do you think?
1.The writer learned the rules of kickball and dodgeball through ·
A.a teacher's instruction B.watching others play
C.playing the sport herself D.watching online videos
2.Which of these things did the writer NOT learn about in PE classes at Welsh Jesuit High School?
A.How to play sports. B.Life–saving skills.
C.Self-defense skills. D.How to treat burns.
3.The story is written to .
A.introduce the writer's favorite sports
B.explain what US PE classes are like
C.show why US students don't like PE classes
D.suggest that China should change its PE classes
