Studying abroad is an amazing experience, especially when you come to Australia as an overseas( 外国的 ) high school student. You can have a lot of fun here, especially on holidays.
There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one is obviously Christmas. Each year, the summer holidays at every high school last about two months from the beginning of December to February, which covers the Christmas time. Since it is a long holiday, most overseas students love to fly back to their home countries to spend the time with their families and friends, but a few students still stay in Australia during the holiday to get part-time jobs. It is quite easy to find a part-time job at Christmas. Students often take part in another major social activity. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine. The summer in Australia is from December to February, so going to the beach in December is very popular among Australians.
Easter in March is another important holiday in the year. It actually combines(使联合) “Good Friday” and “Easter Monday”. Almost every shop closes on Good Friday. And people usually go to see Easter Show.
The Chinese New year is not a public holiday in Australia, so every Chinese student still has to go to school to study and do his or her normal duties.
34. Summer holidays in Australia often begin in_________.
A. July B. September C. December D. February
35. In Australia, you can spend Christmas_________.

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn（谷仓）, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing（挤）out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite（咬）the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.
After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.
One serious American official said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard. “The others thought for a while and said: “That was why!”
A smart French said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.
A Japanese said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.
At that moment, one Chinese asked: “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship？ “
Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer.
In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.
38. Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because ______.
A. one was biting the other B. the mouth of the hole was too small
C. they were not afraid of smoke
D. one was trying to help the blind one
39. “it made sense” probably means ______.
A. it was correct B. it was strange
C. it was funny D. it was sweet
40. Why did they lower their heads in shame according to the passage？
A. They did not dare to answer.
B. They had mistaken the relationship of the mice.
C. They regretted（后悔）driving a poor blind mouse away.
D. They did not express themselves much better.
41. It is clear that ______.
A. all the mice came out of the hole easily
B. each of the people understood the relationship differently
C. the people wanted to kill the mice with smoke
D. the people knew one of the mice was blind at the first sight

On June 30, 2009, a Yemenia airplane from Paris to Comoros, Africa, crashed into the Indian Ocean. There were 153 people on the plane, including some French officials. Though people have been searching since the plane went down, the result looked unpleasant, for most of the passengers might be in bad luck. But a 13-year-old girl called Bahia Bakari was discovered in the water, where she had been staying afloat(漂浮的) by holding a piece of wreckage(残骸) from the plane tightly for over 13 hours. When they found her, the girl was too weak to catch her lifebuoy(救生圈) thrown to her, instead, a Comoran police officer, said Abdilai, jumped into the water to pull the child onto the boat.
Bahia Bakari was injured, especially her collarbone(锁骨).Her father was pleased to see his daughter although his wife had gone away in this tragedy. He said that his daughter could hardly swim. It was really a miracle for her to escape in this way. In her daddy’s warm arms, the girl could soon remember what she had experienced. “I was thrown out of the plane and then I saw the plane fall into the water. Next I found myself in the water. I couldn’t swim very well and I caught something but I didn’t know what is was,” said the girl.
“She is really a lucky young girl,” said Alain Joyandet, France’s minister for International Cooperation.

Many of us don’t realize how important eye care is. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Then what can we do Should we take some medicine No. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.
There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes (基因) and age. Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, wearing sunglasses can serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays in the strong sunlight.
Some foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.
All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be good to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.
