Every person has a unique experience and a story to tell about his school life, so do I.
We had great fun in growing and learning. Every year we were taken to different places for our school picnics. I was never able to go to these tours but I enjoyed every word of the stories told by my friends. When I was in Grade Eight, I won a couple of prizes in drawing and school competitions. We were also given many projects as class assignments that helped all of us to know more about the subject. I was very fond of cricket (now in football). My friends and I played cricket in the school campus after school, but at the same time, we all used to get lots of scolding from our headmaster.
Every Saturday we used to have our P．T. exercise, and frankly speaking, nobody in my class, even me, had ever liked this. As I reached Grade Nine I realised that I should concentrate on my studies as the next year I was going to take my Board exams. The most memorable day in my life was the day when we held the farewell party for our seniors. Well, now I am in Grade Ten and all set to write my Boards in March. Whenever I recollect all these incidents of school life, I feel very happy and in everybody's school life, I think there are many ups_and_downs that mould (浇铸) one's life. School is a place where all of us learn to care and share. “School” is not just a place, but also it is a large dome (圆屋顶) made up of knowledge, love and affection. I think in everybody's success, school plays a key role. I can descri be my school in “Three S's”，they are: Small, Sweet and Simple.

Ⅱ.阅读理解七选五
There are thousands of coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the world; Unfortunately, however, they are now in serious danger. More than one-third are in such bad shape that they could die within ten years. __1__ Here are the three main causes discovered.
The first cause is pollution on land. The pollutants run with rainwater into rivers and streams, which carry the poisons into the ocean. __2__ So they will be easily infected (感染) with diseases.
__3__ Higher ocean temperatures kill the important food source (来源) for the coral — the algae, the tiny greenish-gold water plants that live on coral. __4__ This process has happened more and more frequently in recent years.
The last factor contributing to the disappearance of coral reefs is people. People sometimes crash into reefs with their boats, breaking off large blocks of coral. __5__ Moreover, some people even break coral off to collect for souvenirs since it is so colorful and pretty.
A. Global warming is another reason.
B. Many might not even last that long!
C. Divers who walk on reefs can also do serious damage.
D. Reefs provide a home for 25% of the fish in the ocean.
