What do you usually do after school? Playing football? Watching TV? Come on, we need something new! Let’s see how kids in foreign countries spend their free time!
Mess Around with Dress-up
Do your parents have any old clothes? See if you get an old box and start collecting hats, shoes and clothes now! Then, when your friends come over after school,  you can play dress-up.  See if you  can make yourself into a doctor，or a cowboy,  or even a spaceman! Use glitter paint and old material to decorate the clothes the way you like them.
If you are really clever, you could even put on a show for your family!  Let your imagination run wild!
Want to learn new things after school? Want to make new friends who aren’t in your class? You can get both of them in clubs.  In other countries, schools, there are usually all kinds of clubs for kids to join.  There is French club，student government, theater, choir (合唱隊(duì)）and photography club.
Take photography club as an example.  One may learn all the necessary skills about taking photos.  For example, you will learn how to choose a camera，how to use the light and how to develop pictures.  Sounds cool, right?
But that’s not all.  One can also make a lot of friends in clubs.  It’s always good to enjoy your spare time with friends，isn’t it?

解析試題分析：這篇短文講述的是其他國家的小孩子們都是怎樣度過他們的業(yè)余時(shí)間的。如有些孩子會(huì)把爸爸媽媽的一些舊衣服、鞋、帽子找出來，穿在身上來扮演不同的角色；還有些孩子會(huì)參加一些俱樂部，這樣不僅可以學(xué)到新的知識(shí)，還能交到新的朋友。
【小題1】主旨大意題。Ａ開辦一個(gè)俱樂部；Ｂ學(xué)習(xí)一個(gè)俱樂部；Ｃ　一個(gè)重要的俱樂部；Ｄ攝影俱樂部。文章的后半部分說的是有些孩子們放學(xué)之后參加俱樂部。攝影俱樂部只是其中之一，故太片面了。ＢＣ不符合文意。故選Ａ。
【小題2】段落大意題。第一段中有這樣一句話，Come on, we need something new!，快來，我們需要新的東西。由此我們可以知道，國外的孩子們度過業(yè)余生活的方式和我們是不一樣的。故選Ｄ。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章中第五段One may learn all the necessary skills about taking photos.  For example, you will learn how to choose a camera，how to use the light and how to develop pictures可知，參加攝影俱樂部的孩子可以學(xué)習(xí)照相的基本技能，怎樣選擇照相機(jī)，怎樣使用燈光以及怎樣洗照片。沒有提到可以免費(fèi)的得到一個(gè)照相機(jī)。故選Ｂ。
【小題4】主旨大意題。這篇短文主要為我們介紹了國外的孩子們是怎樣度過他們的業(yè)余時(shí)間的，他們的方式和我們的很不一樣。故選Ｃ。
考點(diǎn)：文化類短文閱讀。

Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的). Some Americans who taught English in other countries recently talked about their experiences.
On her first day in Micronesia(密克羅尼西亞), an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. It was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks? ” The woman there said nothing. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing.

He thought some students had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon knew that his students did understand.
