8、m family membersC. some experiences of teens in different regionsD. a perfect combination of warm stories and photosBFor my grandmothers 70th birthday, my family and I visited South Korea. While there, I was attentive to Korean high schools and students.I was surprised by how different Koreas public
9、 high schools are from Americas. Korean high schools can be all-girls, all-boys or co-ed (男女同校的）unlike our standard co-ed high schools. There are three grades: “go 1（10th) ”， “go 2” (1l th) and “go 3” (12th). “Go”is the first syllable of the word “go-deung hakkyo”, which, simply translated, is “high
10、 school”.In America, unless you want to go to a private school, you dont have to take an entrance exam. In Korea, however, students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools. Another difference I couldnt help but notice was the students appearance. With very few exceptions, a
11、ll wear uniforms. A name tag (标牌)with the students name, grade and homeroom number must also be worn. Girls skirts cant be above the upper part of the knee, and it is forbidden to dye (染)your hair or wear accessories (装饰品)except small earrings. There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve
12、neatness, and it seems the only freedom 3students have is with their choices of hair style, socks and shoes.The final difference was the setup of the classes. There may be 40 students in a classroom, but the number can be less or even more, depending on the population of the town or city. Although t
13、here are many students per classroom, they are very close, which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects. There are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms. They just have ten-minute breaks between subjects. In each class, students
14、are ranked by their grades. This causes strict competition, and Korean students do a lot of studying. To help them, all schools have extra study classes after school. One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have school on Saturdays. Although its only a half day, I
15、think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.Koreas public high schools are clearly different from Americas. I had imagined them to be just like our schools, but now I have a clear picture of how different they are.24. How many main differences

18、attend different classes as they like D. have different hair 4stylesCLast week, we explained that the planet Mars has passed “opposition. ”It passed a point opposite the Sun. This week, we tell about the planets surprising motion(运动)among the stars. For thousands of years, people have recognized tha
19、t planets travel among the stars. The planets generally follow the path taken by the Sun through the sky. The Suns path is called the ecliptic. The groups of stars along the ecliptic are called the Zodiac. The motion of the planets can be confusing at times. Everyone knows the Sun rises in the east
20、and sets in the west. But this is caused by the turning motion of the Earth. Planets generally move from west to east. However, Mars will appear to move backward for about two months this year. This happens because the Earth is overtaking Mars on its way around the Sun. Mars began its backward, or w
21、estward, motion on May 11th, It will start moving eastward again on July 19th. Mars apparent motion has been a mystery to astronomers for hundreds of years. Most early theories of the solar system argued that the Sun and planets turned around the Earth. But the sudden westward motion of Mars present
22、ed a problem. Why would Mars move west for two months when it nears “opposition”?In 1543, a Polish church worker named Nicolas Copernicus published a different theory. His theory said the Earth and planets moved around the Sun in perfectly circular orbits. Copernicus theory was simpler. But his Sun
23、centered system still did not explain the observed motion of Mars very well.Finally, a German mathematician named Johannes Kepler published a complete theory of the motion of the planets in 1619. He had carefully studied the motion of Mars for many years.Johannes Kepler discovered that the planets d
24、o not move in circular orbits around the sun. Instead, they travel in flattened orbits called ellipses. 5Mars elliptical orbit is the cause of its unusual brightening this year and its apparent large size.During the next several weeks, you can see for yourself why the mysterious motion of Mars has c
25、aused so many people to wonder.28. From the passage we can learn that .A. the sun and planets generally travel westward B. Kepler studied the orbit of the planets in 1619C. Copernicus theory well explained the motion of MarsD. the Earths turning motion causes the sun to rise in the east29. On July 1

Why does Mars appear to be bigger and brighter when it passes “opposition”?A. It is overtaking the earth. B. It follows the path of the sun.C. It mov

The Great Discovery on Mars D. The Wonderful Mystery of MarsDI have been passionate about sewing and fashion design since I was
28、12. Two years ago, I designed and made a set of outfits from recyclable materials for a charity fashion show. Through this highly meaningful and profound experience, I became aware of the importance of protecting and preserving our environment when designing and making fashion items, resulting in my
29、 founding an organization to promote eco friendly, design and fashion.My interest has led me to research areas of fashion that have environmental implications. For example , some popular clothing stores have 6announced marketing policies designed to improve the environment. For those of us who are e
30、co - conscious, it is responsible for us to evaluate whether such policies are just a marketing promotion, or represent great efforts to protect our environment.Three chain - stores, H some people would say their message is thoroughly misleading. It promotes the “green“ image, and yet many of their
31、supposed eco -friendly products do not help the environment. For example, it sells a “Think Green 7Tote“ that, according to the site, is meant to “send an environmentally friendly message. “ However it is made of 100% non - organic cotton which is one of the most damaging fabrics to the environment,
32、 mostly because it requires greater chemical intervention compared to organic cotton. Also, the “I Love My Planet Tote“ is supposed to “make a positive statement,“ but is also made of 100% cotton that is not organic. The only tote that is environmentally - friendly is the “H81 Organic Cotton Tote“ f
33、rom Forever 21 s Heritage brand, made from 100% organic cotton. Now that Forever 21 has portrayed itself as being “green,“ it should start “walking the walk. “32.
