You may feel curious(好奇) about students in other countries: Do they also have much homework? What do they do in their free time?
On April 8, a report came out on the lives of high school students in China, Japan, South Korean and the USA. It surveyed around 6,200 students from the four countries last year. You will find the answers to many of your questions in this report.

Japanese students fall asleep in class most often. About 45% of them said they sometimes doze off in class. In South Korea, it’s 32%; in the US, 21%; and 5% in China.

Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there’s too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are very good.
Preview — if it’s long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and science reports.
Here is how to preview.
●Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Previewing doesn’t give you all the details. It tells you not to spend time on things you don’t really want or need to read.
Skim — if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading, like popular magazines or the sports of your daily paper.
Here’s how to skim.
●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.
●Pick up only a few key words in each line.
Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but perhaps we’ll get the same idea of what it’s all about.
1.What does the underlined word “preview” mean in Chinese?
A．精读 B．默读 C．朗读 D．略读
2.What should we do when we read a science report?
A. Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
B. Spend a lot of time reading the details.
C. Read the first and the last sentences of each paragraph.
D. Pick up only a few key words in each line.
3.What should we NOT do when we read the news about sports events in a daily paper according to the passage?
A．Get our eyes to move fast.
B．Read the last two paragraphs carefully.
C．Sweep our eyes across each line.
D．Pick up only a few key words in each line.
4.What is the best title for this passage?
A．Why we should read B．What to read
C．When to read D．How to read faster
Music can be a great power to change people’s lives. Regina del Carmen Sanchez, 14, always believes this. The girl from Kansas City, US, leads a hard life. She lives in a small house with her mom and grandparents. Her mom gets a very low pay.
But it doesn’t stop Sanchez’s love of music. She wrote her first song Keep Your Head Up when she was 12. It described the bad situation at her home, but it also sent the message of hope: “My house is old and poor, but it beats (胜过) being homeless… Love yourself and never give up. You’ll see a better life if you keep your head up…”
It took Sanchez several months to finish the song. Sometimes during a break in class, when lyrics (歌词) came into her head, “I would have to write them down right then,” she told the local newspaper The Kansas City Star.
Jeremy Lillie was a spokesman for Bright Futures, a charity fund. When he saw the video of the song, he was moved. He shared it through social media (社交媒体). The fund has provided money for poor students in Kansas City.
Now Sanchez often plays the song in public. “I want to help people understand what is happening in the world in an easy way,” she said.
1.There are ________ people in Sanchez’s family.
A. three B. four C. five D. six
2.What’s true about Keep Your Head Up?
A. It was written two years ago.
B. It showed a feeling of hopeless.
C. It described the good situation of a house.
D. It took Sanchez several weeks to write the song.
3.The Kansas City Star is ________.
A. a music group B. a newspaper
C. a charity fund D. a school
4.The word “moved” can be replaced (代替) by ________
A. surprised B. interested
C. touched D. excited
