It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer vacation is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the things you’ll be doing this year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad about what you did, and so will your new friends!
Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers. It can also make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school.(有些孩子在开学的第一天感到紧张或有点害怕，因为所有的新事物：新老师，新朋友，甚至新学校)”可知，除了新活动，你需要面对新老师、新朋友和新学校。故选D。
【22题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year.”可知，在新学年大家都不认识，互相作介绍，所以推测是教师工作的开始。由此推知，划线词所在句意为“大多数老师在新学年以自我介绍和谈论这一年要做的事情开始”，即画线词意思是“开始”。故选A。
