Hillside Secondary School year is divided into two 18-week semesters. Semester one runs from September to the end of January. Semester two runs from February to late June.
The school day runs from 8 : 45 a. m. to 3 : 15 p. m. and is made up of five 78-minute periods. Students take four classes and have one period for lunch.
In February, 2000, the school introduced a new system of computerized attendance in order to provide accurate records of student lates and absences and to enable communication with parents.
Student evaluation is a continual process based upon class performance, tests, homework and reports, as well as special projects or formal examinations held at the end of the semester. There will be at least three reports to parents during each semester. After five weeks of class, students carry Early-bird Report home. The semester one Parent/Teacher interview date appears on this report. Mid-term Report is at the ninth week. Marks are then calculated. Mid-term Reports are prepared and mailed in mid November and late April. Students with marks under 60% after 11 weeks of class will receive an In-Danger Report to remind them that more effort is required as well as careful preparation for final exams. Those notices are mailed home. Final Reports are mailed home in February and July.
The Newsletter is an excellent way for the school to communicate with parents. In addition to providing a profile of our many activities, it contains key dates and information-upcoming events such as parent interviews or exams, changes being considered at the school. Messages from school office-Parents regularly tell us they value and appreciate learning about what is happening in their children’s school. Parents receive four newsletters each year.

The results of the US/NATO bombing of Yugoslavia are to be judged by history. I shall not be the one to do it. But being in the center of actual events that are creating that history, I cannot stay away from what is going on in my country.
First of all, the aim of the bombing was to prevent a human suffering in Kosovo. Today, after many days of frequent bombing, that aim is more distant than before. The bombing only brought tens of thousands of people running away from their homes. Not to mention the large number of the death and injury, buildings and factories. Suppose that the US/NATO really had a wish to prevent the human suffering, they should realize they were wrong when they thought the bombing would solve the problem.
So, what’s left? Back off or ground troops? But who is going to join the ground troops? It would take at least 200,000 armed soldiers, not the 20,000 that the US/NATO have prepared in Macedonian. It should also be clear that the Serbs（塞族）will not give up on Kosovo.
I live under continuous bombing for more than a week now. And it doesn’t frighten me any more. I don’t turn to the shelter at the sound of warning. It’s the thought of ground troops that frightens me. Vietnam would seem like a picnic compared to a bloodshed in Kosovo if the ground troops appear. Is that what the US/NATO wants?
59．Which of the following statements is true?
A．The US/NATO really intends to stop the human suffering.
B．The result of the war will be judged by people in Kosovo.
C．The bombing made tens of thousands of people homeless.
D．The continuous bombing will make the Serbs give up of Kosovo.
60．What worries the writer most?
A．The continuous bombing. B．The coming of ground troops.
C．The sound of bomb warning. D．The idea of ground troops.
61．What’s the writer’s attitude towards the bombing in Kosovo?
A．It is the US/NATO ’s duty to defend Kosovo.
B．It is wrong to solve the problem by bombing Kosovo.
C．The aim of bombing Kosovo is to stop a human suffering.
D．The bombing can solve the problem on Kosovo.
62．The underlined sentence means .
A．the war in Vietnam wasn’t serious at all
B．the war in Vietnam was different from that in Kosovo.
C．the US will send more troops to Kosovo than that to Vietnam
D．ground troops to Kosovo will cause an even greater disaster
C
For centuries, people wondered how big the Earth was. Unfortunately, as long as they thought the Earth was flat, no one was able to figure out its size. Gradually, however, people began to realize that the Earth was really round.
Then, in the third century BC（2,300 years ago）, a Greek man named Eratosthenes had an idea. Eratosthenes was sure that the Earth was a sphere. He used the sun and geometry to figure out the size of the Earth. He calculated that the circumference of the Earth was 28,600 miles（46,000 kilometers）.The true size of the Earth is 25,000 miles（40，000 kilometers）.Eratosthenes’ measurement was wrong, but it was very close to the truth.
For many centuries after Eratoshenes lived, people made maps of the Earth. However, they did not know very much about the world outside of Europe, Asia, and north Africa. Mapmakers could not draw accurate maps of the Earth until people began traveling around the world in the fifteenth century, mapping small areas each time. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, people began making correct maps of countries, but the first accurate maps of the world were not made until the 1890s.
Maps today are reliable, inexpensive, and easy to understand. People depend on maps every day. What would our lives be like without them?
63．A sphere is a .
A．large shape B．planet
C．ball D．member of the sun family
64．What’s a synonym（同义词）for figure out?
A．geometry B．calculate C．make out D．understand
65．Look at the four drawings below. Which one shows the circumference of the Earth?

66．A measurement is a .
A．calculation B．kilometer C．true statement D．wrong statement
67．Accurate means .
A．big B．nice C．small D．correct

Sarah Williams went to a boarding（寄宿）school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.
Wentworth Girls’School
Beachside
July 25th
Dearest Mom and Dad,
I’m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.
The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed, This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.
As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away.
Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire.
There was a curtain near the waste paper-basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning.
The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.
The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I’m very sorry about this.
M
