Very soon you are going to change from a junior high school student to a senior high school student. You will experience a new school life. Then how should you work in senior high school Here is some advice for your new term.
Plan ahead. Get a wall calendar(日程表). Mark the dates of important events such as tests. Set your own goals and follow them. When your calendar starts to fill, learn to say "no" to other activities until you have reached your goal.
Stay ahead. Try not to fall behind. If you feel that you have fallen behind and started to feel worried, let your teachers know. It's better to get help early than to wait, thinking you can face the final exams. Almost everyone is struggling with a special subject or class. If you have trouble with a special subject or homework project, ask your teacher for help after class. Taking a few minutes to solve the problem right away can save time, and if your teacher knows that you're struggling with something, he or she is likely to be more understanding of the situation.
Listen up. Paying attention in class can actually help a lot. Sure, it's often easier said than done, but listening actively can make you understand better what you are learning.
Take notes. Taking notes during classes can make recalling(回忆) information easier. If you take notes and review them before class or while studying for an exam, you can ask a teacher to go over anything you don't understand. It can also be helpful to go over notes with a friend after class.
Have a good attitude to tests. Tests may show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. So don't be too worried if you don't pass a test. The world won't end.
4. Which of the following is the writer's suggestion about your plan
A. You shouldn't give up other activities at any time.
B. You shouldn't let other activities affect your plans.
C. You shouldn't forget the dates of important events.
D. You shouldn't care too much about your wall calendar.
5. Why does the writer think it necessary to ask teachers for help in time
A. It can help you save face. B. It can help you save money.
C. It can help you save time. D.It can help you save punishments.
6. From the passage we can learn that _____.
A. notes will help you remember what you learn
B. listening actively will improve your hearing
C. struggling will make your school life colorful
D. tests will decide if you can go on with the subject

Education
School is expensive for many African children. Lots of families can't afford school uniforms or exercise books even though they don't have to pay for school.
For those lucky enough to go to school, they have a lot to learn. Some take two language classes: English or French, and their first language. There is also math, science, history, social studies and geography. Chores take up much of children's time after school. They have to get water and firewood for the family every day. Also there's cleaning , washing and helping Mum with the meal.
Daily fun
It's not all work and no play. Sports are very popular. Children can make goals with twigs (嫩树枝) and their own footballs with plastic and bits of string (绳子). They play in the country and the streets of old towns. There're many football teams for teenagers in Africa.
