I left home for New Zealand to start my new life on my 15th birthday. My father and mother took me to Hong Kong， where we had to say goodbye. When we were saying goodbye， I suddenly felt afraid that I had never had before.
This was the first time I had traveled so far by myself. And going to a far-away place I have never been before made me feel terrible. I held back my tears until I could no longer see my parents. As I was wiping away my tears， I realized that， from that moment on， I would have to do everything by myself.
After my arrival in Wellington， my teacher， Ms. Lang， showed me around my new school. A few days later， I started having classes. There were only 20 students in each class. Only math， science， social studies and English were compulsory， and students could choose other subjects for themselves， I chose music， Japanese and health.
In New Zealand， students are very active in class. And teachers are not as serious. They often let us play games in class. We can sit with anyone we like， and the teacher can sit at her own desk or at a student’s desk. The school had an easy manner， with few rules.
Because there was no homework， we could join clubs or do anything we liked. I always went to the library after school， where I found a lot of books to help with my studies.
Studying in New Zealand is very different from studying in China. In New Zealand， students depend on the library to gain knowledge instead of waiting for what teachers ask them to do.
Time went fast. The two months flew by after I arrived. Then a week of exams began. I did not have to take these exams， because I had only been at the school for a short time. However， my math teacher encouraged me to take the math exam， as she thought I could do well.
Though there wasn’t much pressure on me， I worked very hard to get ready for the exam because I know that no pain means no gain.
When the day of the exam came， I found that I finished the paper faster than the other students. One week later， my teacher told the whole class who had got the top mark： It was me! I got 94 percent.
All my classmates were very happy and said congratulations to me. It was one of the happiest days of my life.

I left home for New Zealand to start my new life on my 15th birthday. My father and mother took me to Hong Kong, where we had to say goodbye. This was the first time I had traveled so far by myself. I wiped(擦) away my tears and also realized I would have to do everything by myself from then on.
After I arrived there, I really found life and study were quite different. There were only 20 students in each class. Students were very active and teachers were not so serious. We could sit with anyone we like. The school had an easy manner, with few rules. In a term, only maths, science, social studies and English were the subjects we had to take. The others were free to choose. So I chose music, art and computer.
In my free time, I joined clubs to take an active part in activities. And I always went to the library after class, where I found a lot of books to help with my studies. In New Zealand, students depended on the library to get knowledge instead of waiting for what teachers asked them to do. Also, I played different kinds of sports such as soccer and tennis. Because I could swim well, I even found a part-time job as a life saver in my school swimming center. As time went by, I found life there was really busy but happy.
Two months has passed, and a week of exams are coming. Now I have to put down all those things and work hard for the exams. Hope I can get the best grades in my class and make my parents proud of me.
1.Did the students in New Zealand have a lot of school rules?
____________________________________________________________________
2.How did the students in New Zealand get knowledge?

3.Why did the writer think he was happy even though his life was busy?
____________________________________________________________________
4.Do you want to study in a foreign country? Why or why not?

One day, on the way home from school, my mum told me she was going to make some new rules for me and my brothers and sisters. Before this, we knew she wanted us to be good, but we really didn’t have any rules. On the next day, she started giving us the “house rules”.
Clean your rooms every other day. Be ready for dinner at 7:00 p.m. (that means sitting at the table, with clean hands). If mum is having a meeting in the house, be very quiet (that means turning down the music and the TV). Be ready for bed at 9:30 p.m. (that means lying in bed, with a clean face). Get up at 7:30 a.m. To get ready for school (that means your feet are on the floor, not just hanging off the bed). Take the rubbish to the trash can in the street on Monday morning before school. Clean the bathroom on Thursday.
Following these rules isn’t too hard, and sometimes it’s even fun. At other times, it can be difficult. For example, if your room is really dirty, and you can't finish cleaning it on that day, you have to finish it on the next day, along with anything else you have to do. That can be hard.
Mum made these rules because she loves us a lot. She wants us to learn how to be on time, be clean and neat, and be polite. Every day, we try to follow her rules.

A. at 7:00 p.m. B. at 7:30 p.m.

3.What should the children do according to the new rules?
A. Never watch TV again. B. Clean their rooms every day.
C. Help their mum to make dinner. D. Clean the bathroom once a week.
4.Which of the following can be used to describe the writer’s feeling about following these rules?
A. Terrible. B. Tiring.
C. Not too hard. D. Not very interesting.
5.When does the writer feel it hard to follow the rules?
