She does not want me in the school any longer.‎ The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed．This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.‎ As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.‎ The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage.

Town or city twinning means two towns in different countries agree and decide to become “twins” with a sister city relationship.‎ ‎ The people find pen friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary people travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.‎ ‎ Sometimes, schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks! For example, German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain, staying with British families. A few months later, their British friends come to study in Germany.‎ ‎ Many British towns are so pleased with the results of the twinning that they set out to find more than one twin town.‎ ‎ Tonbridge, a small town in Kent, for example, has twin town in both Germany and France. Richmond near London has relationships with Germany, France and even a town in a Balkan country!‎ ‎ Town twinning can help make friends. It helps students improve their language skills, and also helps people to understand the differences between nations.‎ ‎29.

My friends would say “Alice, you look great!” or “How did you lose so much weight?” Those compliments（称赞）made me feel good and confident.‎ Soon I dropped to 110 ponds. A few of my friends told me that I need to stop dieting because I was starting to look sick. They brought me a present——a bag of chocolates, which I later gave to my sister. My mum would come to my room, with tears in her eyes, and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop. My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school, telling me that it would do serious harm to my body.‎ By mid-June, when school was coming to an end, I was down to an only alive state of 95pounds. All of a sudden, I knew I had to do something. I guessed the number itself scared me. I recalled my doctor. He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying. I knew I was putting my life at risk, but for what? To make those who love me worried? Is it worthwhile to be thin?‎ Now I realize that models in magazines, TV and movies are not realistic. The price to pay for the “perfect body” is living with the dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder. And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are.‎ ‎32. The author’s mother went to her room to ________.‎ A. bring her some chocolates. B. tell her she missed her.‎ C. talk about her studies. D. ask her to stop dieting. ‎ ‎33. The author decided to stop dieting____ .‎ A. when her friends told her to do so. ‎ B. when her father left some messages. ‎ C. when her weight dropped to 95 pounds.‎ D. when her mother had a talk with her.‎ ‎34. What does the writer want to tell us?‎ A. It is too expensive for people to lose weight.‎ B. Being thin is not the most important thing in our life.‎ C. There is no model with a perfect body in real life.‎ D. You will be healthy as long as you stop dieting.‎ ‎35. How did the author feel when she weighed 115 pounds?‎ A. Happy. B. Disappointed. ‎ C. Worried. D. Painful.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分） ‎ 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ With the winter holiday just around the corner, it seems like everybody is busy planning their ‎ vacations.
