D

Students from Oceanside High School in Rockland will be able to sleep in a little longer from this autumn.

Regional School Unit 13 Superintendent (负责人) Lew Collins said during the school's Thursday night meeting that the schedule (时间表) for the schools will be changed. Oceanside East and West will start a half hour later, at 8 a.m. for their new school year.

Research has shown that teenagers' brains are often not fully awake at 6:30 a.m. Collins said the schedule, which is used to get students to school for classes that begin at 7:30 a.m., calls for some to get on buses before 6 a.m. to get to school on time. Teachers are having meetings at 6:40 a.m., which is too early, he thinks.

Collins visited the high schools in Rockland and asked students when they would like classes to begin. Most of them said 8:00 a.m. “I was surprised. I thought they would have said 9:00 or 10:00,” he said.

The National Sleep Foundation says on its website that teenagers' biological clocks (生物钟) are designed to stay up later and get up later. The Foundation called for schools to change their schedules, which means a later start as well for elementary students (小学生).

We do not have enough buses to run, since all the high school and elementary school buses run almost at the same time, Collins said. He suggested, “We should buy six more buses and get six more drivers to keep the new schedule working.”

Elementary school classes in Rockland now start at 8:30 a.m., but will be moved to 8:45 a.m., starting in the autumn. “I know this is a problem for working parents, but we will see what we can come up with,” said Jane Brown, a teacher at Bardonia Elementary School. “Anyway, I believe if students get more sleep they'll be more ready to learn when classes start,” she added. 33. A new schedule will be made to _____. A. add more interesting subjects B. help students do better in class C. ask parents to learn about schools D. cut the number of meetings down

34. One of the problems facing the schools in Rockland is that they will _____. A. be afraid of working parents' disturbance

B. be worried about children's safety C. be short of school buses D. be short of teachers

35. What does Jane Brown think of the new schedule? A. She is not certain about it. B. She is not interested in it. C. She is worried about it. D. She is hopeful about it.

How to make friends at a new school

Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you don't even know where to go for your own classes. 36 However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends. Be yourself.

37 If some people don't accept you, they're not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot. 38 Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible! Believe in yourself.

A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don't keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact (目光接触) with other people. 39 Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you're from. Remember people’s names.

You like it when people use your name, and so do other people. 40 Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname (昵称). You'd be surprised how often this might come in handy.

A. Be friendly to others.

B. Making new friends can be hard, too. C. Join after-school activities you like. D. Never change who you are to try and fit in. E. If you see someone you know, smile or say “Hi”.

F. People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time. G. Don't sit at the back of the classroom where other people don't notice you!
