More and more people think it necessary to study in an English-speaking country and it didn’t take long at all for me to decide to come and study in UK.

I have been used to school life since I came here two months ago, and I am starting to enjoy most of my time in here. School starts at 9 o’clock every morning, and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we have long days, in which we have 9 lessons and school finishes at 4 o’clock. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday we have short days, in which we have only 6 lessons and finish at 1 o’clock. After lessons, we have 2 hours of activity time, when you can choose from a number of activities, including many sports, such as rugby(英式橄欖球) , football, basketball and tennis.

As a boarder(寄宿者), the quality of food is something I consider very important, and Merchiston has not let me down. The school kitchens are run by a professional company, and the quality of food is excellent, and they are always trying to make the diet healthy. One of the obvious advantages of being a boarder is that we can have breakfast in the school, which means we don’t have to pull ourselves out of bed as early as the day pupils!

1.How many lessons do the students have every week in this school?

A. 15 B. 45 C. 27 D. 18

2.The passage mainly tells us about __________________.

A. the writer’s school life in the UK as a boarder

B. the writer’s opinion of the school life in the UK

C. the differences in school life between China and the UK

D. the boarder life in a British middle school

3.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase “ let me down” in the passage?

A. made me blue B. cheered me up

C. encouraged me D. made me surprised
