After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools a nd that the “work” they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.Stage schools often act as agencies（代理机构）to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name “stage school” are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education.A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn't settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days.The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don't ma ke it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.1. People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children they're talking to ________.A. attend a stage schoolB. are going to the theatreC. have got some work to doD. love singing and dancing2. In the writer's opinion, a good stage school should ________.A. prod uce star performersB. help pupils improve their study skillsC. train pupils in language and performing artsD. provide a general education and stage training.3. “Profess ional work” as used in the text means ________.A. ordinary school workB. money-making performancesC. stage training at schoolD. acting, singing or dancing after class4. Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stage schools?A. He thinks highly of what they have to offer.B. He favors an early start in the training of performing arts.C. He feels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows.D. He doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached.BPlease, pay attention to difference of free registration and paid premium(额外费用)account.

And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement. Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown(方帽长袍).Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(对美国的忠孝宣誓).Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. But it wasn't boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.A new page in the book of that person's life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.8. What's the article mainly about?A.

英语选修8 翻译Unit1 一个多元文化的国家加利福尼亚是美国的第三大州，而且是人口最多的州。
加州与众不同之处在于它也是美国最具多元文化的一个州，它吸引了来自世界各地的人们。
这些移民的风俗习惯以及语言在他们的新家都得以延续。
当你了解了加利福尼亚的历史后，你就不会对此感到惊讶了。
美洲土著人最早的一批人具体是在什么时候来到我们现在所知道的加利福尼亚地区的，谁也说不清楚。
然而，很可能至少在15 ,000年以前美洲土著人就住在加利福尼亚了。
科学家们认为，这些迁居者通过一条史前时代曾经存在的大陆桥穿越北极地区的白令海峡到达美洲。
欧洲人在16世纪来到这儿后，土著人遭受了极大的苦难，成千上万的人被杀害或被迫成为奴隶。
此外，欧洲人带来了疾病，使许多人染病而死，不过，还是有一些人在经历了这些恐怖时期后活下来了。
今天住在加利福尼亚的美洲土著人比任何其他州的都要多。
西班牙人在18世纪的时候，加利福尼亚是由西班牙统治的西班牙士兵最早是在1 6世纪初期来到南美洲的，他们同土著人打仗，并夺去了他们的土地。
两个世纪以后，西班牙人在南美洲的大部分地区定居下来，而且还在我们现在称之为美国的西北沿海地区住下来。
在首批移居加州的西班牙人中，大部分是宗教人士，他们的职责是向原住民传授天主教。
1821年，墨西哥人从西班牙获得了独立-加利福尼亚于是成了墨西哥的一部分。
1846年美国向墨西哥宣战，美国赢得战争胜利后，墨西哥被迫把加利福尼亚割让给美国。
但是，这个州至今仍然保留着很强的西班牙的影响。
这就是为什么今天还有40%的加利福尼亚人仍然把西班牙语作为第一或第二语言的缘故。
俄罗斯人19世纪初期，一批最初到阿拉斯加的俄罗斯猎人开始在加利福尼亚定居下来。
今天，住在圣弗朗西斯科（旧金山）及其周边地区的美籍俄罗斯人约有25,000人。
淘金矿工1848年，在美国同墨西哥开战之后不久，在加利福尼亚发现了金矿。
发财梦很快就吸引了世界各地的人。
距离最近因而来得最早的是南美洲人和美国人。

请用英文写一篇短文投稿,内容包括:1.你最喜欢的季节;2.你喜欢该季节的两条理由(如:气候、景色、活动、感受……)。
Among the four seasons in a year, summer is my favourite, which makes me free, excited and energetic.When summer vacation for us students comes every year, we can do all that we can't do during our school time, going shopping with friends, swimming in warm water and even hiking and camping in the deep valleys, all of which, I think, lead me to full freedom. We can find us in an exciting world every day, with the sun shining brightly, trees growing greenly and flowers coming out with all kinds of colours. Summer makes me full of energy and I feel I have the strength to do the most difficult things in my life. I like summer best, and what about you?解析：1.文章体裁:记叙文。
