課時閱讀訓練六Period 2 Reading and Vocabulary要點講解課. 閱讀理解AWhen you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. Its time to enjoy yourselves! There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts. High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. Its to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom, teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before. At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials. Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning of a Prom King and Queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school. High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat(游船). But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip hop. The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair takes very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election. Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye. If you like the idea of a prom, why dont you and your classmates organize one for your graduation? 【語篇概述】本文主要介紹了在美國和加拿大等西方國家, 高中生在畢業(yè)前夕會舉行畢業(yè)舞會。舞會上男女生都穿著漂亮的衣服, 并且還舉辦各種活動, 還會選出舞會之王和舞后等。1.

The science teacher told us about some class rules. No one talked to me nor did I talk to anyone else. I was one of those very shy girls. After the science class, I had an English class. I thought it would be boring but it turned out to be very funny. When the classes of the morning ended I went to lunch. I sat outside the dining room with no one to talk to and no food because I was too nervous to join the lunch line. I kept looking around hoping to see someone I knew but I never saw anyone. Lunch ended and I went to have my art class. I was the first one there and not even my teacher was there yet. So I sat at my desk and started drawing some pictures. I didnt notice the rest of the class walking in or the girl that was standing behind me till I was surprised by the voice, “So what are you drawing? ” It was a girl who had really long hair. She ended up being my best friend and one of the kindest and liveliest girls I know. In the next class meeting, the teacher asked us to talk about the past holiday. I was glad to make some new friends in the class. The first day of high school was hard for me but I got through it. 【語篇概述】本文講述的是一個女孩對她第一天高中生活的回憶。雖然艱難但作者還是安然度過。5.
