原文+答案解析

026.
Thank you for coming to this meeting for students who will stay at school during the winter holidays. It is my duty to tell you what to do and to have you fill out forms giving the dates you will be at school. To cut down the cost, Buller Hall will be the only house for you to stay at. All the other houses will close at 5:00 p.m., on Friday, February 7, and will not reopen until 6:00 p.m. on February 16. Once we have your forms, we'll offer you rooms to Buller Hall. Please move all the things you will need to your new rooms by February 7. Some places of our school will be closed during the holidays. They are the labs, the school store and the dance hall. The library and the computer centre will be open, though with shorter service time. Only the post office and most school offices will keep their usual hours. Of course, you don't have to worry about your meal. If you have any special problems, please call me at my office before February 3.
