YOU may feel curious (好奇的) about students in other countries: Do they also have so much homework? What do they do in their spare time?
On April 8, a report came out on the lives of high school students in China, Japan, South Korea and the US. It surveyed around 6,200 students from the four countries last year. You will find the answers to many of your questions in this report.

Japanese students fall asleep in class most often. About 45% of them said they sometimes doze off in class. In South Korea, it’s 32%; in the US, 21%; and 5% in China.
South Korean students don’t like taking notes. About 70% said they write down what the teacher says in class, many fewer than in Japan (93%), China (90%) and the US (89%).

You are watching two men having a fight. They hit each other hard. At the start they only fight with their fists（拳头）. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls ten meters to the ground below. He is dead!
Of course he isn’t really dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they play tricks（特技）. There are two sides of their work. They really do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall onto the ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress（垫子）. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through window, the glass is made of sugar!
But although their work needs tricks of this kind, it also needs a high skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success is decided by careful time. They must do exactly. For example, when he is “blown up” in a war scene, he has to jump out of the place of the explosion（爆炸）just at the right moment.
Naturally they are well paid for their work, but they have dangerous lives. They often get hurt, and sometimes killed. A foreign stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff(悬崖) three hundred meters high. His parachute（降落伞）failed to open, and he was killed. 51. Stuntmen are those who _______.
A. dress up as actors (演员) B. prefer to live dangerous lives.

C. do dangerous activities instead of actors. D. hit each other for a living 52. The word “professionals” here in Chinese means____________.
A. 网球教练 B. 职业人员 C. 专家 D. 教授 53. When a stuntman falls from a high building, _____________.
A. he needs little protection B. he will be covered with a mattress C. he is often killed D. his safety is often all right 54. Which is the most important for a successful stuntman?
A. Strong. B. Exact. C. Fast. D. Excited 55. The example of the foreign stuntman shows that __________. A. sometimes a serious accident can happen to a stuntman B. the parachute should always be checked carefully C. naturally a stuntman is well paid for their work
D. skiing over the edge of a high cliff is the most dangerous
