red flag today. Could you please sign this note?" he said. The note showed that he had been talking during
reading time. He gets a "red flag" only once in a while. His real worry is that he never gets top scores in his
schoolwork. The best he gets is "OK", but often his score is "You can do better than this." My mum tells me
"You can do better than this" would mean "Very bad" in China.
It"s interesting, though, because teachers for little kids in America never say anything too bad about their
students; even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might
say is "Please be nicer tomorrow." Many parents are pleased with a B-grade for each subject.
I"ve heard that things are different in Chinese schools. Expectations (期望) are very high for students.
Even from first grade, homework was quite a lot for my relatives in Nanjing. I sometimes felt that my
first-grade Chinese cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the US ( this
is the same as the 6th grade in China )! Yet his parents and school thought he was a bad student. But to me,
he was smart, even though he didn"t meet his parents" expectations. My parents tell me that some students are
years earlier in math and science!
Do you think it"s too strict in China? Or do you think that it"s not strict enough in America? Maybe both
are true! | | 1. The writer"s little brother got a red flag yesterday because he ________. | A. did something good

to share with me. When I was full of sorrow or sadness, I need to talk about it with someone. I need friends
who can give me a hand when I come across difficulties or am in trouble. Of course, we take time to make
friends. We choose a friend and are chosen by a friend. We may get a lot from a friend but also need to give
much to a friend, and that is friendship. We know that it is very difficult to get help or to have a friend when
we are in trouble. So we take time to make friends so that we can have good friends to get help from if we
come across difficulties. I need friends to spend my spare time to avoid loneliness. A lot of activities require
a partner. For example, when we play table tennis or badminton, we need a partner. In this way, a friend can
make my life more exciting and meaningful.
It seems that everyone needs a friend to live a happier life. Without friendship, life is not complete. We
need friendship for different purposes, and different purposes may need different friends. Life is made up of
friendship. Let us open our hearts and make more friends to live a happier life. | 1. 根据短文内容判断正误（正确的填“T”，错误的填“F”）：

making one feel like a fool. However, the April Fools" Day of 2010 was quite different for my mom and me.
That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game. I had dropped down from a bar (横木) many
times in the past without ever having a problem, but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became
a nightmare (噩梦). I broke my arm.
Jimmy"s dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on. When he saw the problem, he
quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to
the hospital. As that day was April Fools" Day, Mom was not buying it and really thought all this was a big
joke. Mom was finally convinced by Jimmy"s mom. When she saw me, she broke down in tears because
she felt so bad-she originally (开始) thought this was just a big prank (恶作剧).
I guess one could compare this to the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". Since I had pulled pranks
before, it is no wonder that my mom didn"t believe it. I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool
that day. We both learned a valuable lesson. | | 1. What happened to the writer on the April Fools" Day of 2010? | A. He dreamed a terrible dream.
