A
Most people think that the best store is one with very expensive goods. It's certainly great if you have a pocket full of money and can buy something in one. How wonderful to be able to come home with an expensive computer, a latest(最新的) iPod or a designer dress!
But have you ever heard of "dollar stores" As the name suggests, in dollar stores everything costs a dollar or less. You find them in the US and many other Western countries. In dollar stores there are thousands of kinds of things and eve rything is affordable ( 买得起).
If you go into a clothes shop, you find clothes. If you go into a car showroom, you see cars. But in a dollar store who knows what you will find Visiting a dollar store is like going on a treasure hunt. There'll be pots and pans for the kitchen, books, clothes, toys—and a thousand other things you never dreamed of! There's always a surprise in a dollar store.
Why are dollar stores so cheap It's because they're full of stock (库存) that hasn't sold in other stores: clothes that were last year's fashion; books that won't sell; inventions for the kitchen that didn't catch on(流行). You may find you don't want these, either. But, even if you don't want to buy, they are great places to look around—rather like museums. And remember, nothing costs more than a dollar!
( )45. What can we buy in dollar stores
A. A new computer. B. A designer dress.
C. Some diamonds. D. A toy.
( )46. Why are things cheap in dollar stores
A. Because there are many kinds of things.
B. Because the things are not new.
C. Because people have a pocket full of money.
D. Because the things are not up to date.
( )47. Which of them is the most likely to visit dollar stores
A. Those who like to wear fashionable clothes.
B. Those who like to look around shops.
C. Those who want to buy expensive goods.
D. Those who want to buy the latest mobile phone,

The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are drawing near. Are you looking forward to watching the matches If so, here are some suggestions you need to know about audience manners.
Most sporting arenas (赛场) have rules for audience which are written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you arrive. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don't walk about when a game is being held. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink botdes and other rubbish.
During exciting games, try to control yourself. Don't criticize(批评) the performance of players and coaches. Be care ful with your words, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.
Applause is a special form of body language you can use to communicate ( 交流) with players. But you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them; don't go on for too long. After an excellent performance, applaud (鼓掌) warmly.
Applause is not welcome, however, while a game is being held and the players need to focus all their attention. Differ ent sports have different rules for the audience. Enjoying artistic gymnastics( 艺术体操) requires silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. Using flash( 闪光灯) to take photos is quite disturbing to tennis players. Mobile phones can not be used in shooting centers.
To be a good spectator( 观众 ) , you should take time to learn the game—related rules and audience manners of each event.
( )48. According to the writer, it's good manners to_________.
A. arrive at the sporting arenas just before the start of the event
B. complain about the bad performance of players from time to time
C. applaud for the excellent performance of players properly
D. walk here and there when a game is being held
( ) 49. According to the passage, in which of the following events CAN'T we use flash to take photos
A. Artistic gymnastics. B. Basketball. C. Football. D. Tennis.
( )50. What is the best tide of this passage
A. How to Applaud for Players
B. How to Be a Good Spectator
C. How to Remember Audience Manners
D. How to Communicate with Players
C
" Who did this " asked my teacher. Thirty children tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out.
"Who did this " she asked again. She never became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, "Who broke this window "
"Oh, oh, " I thought. I was the one who broke the window. I did not do it on purpose (砇意). It was caused by a bad throw of a baseball. Why did it have to be me
If I admitted( 承认) it, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that "My father is going to get angry at me, " I thought. I didn't want to raise(举起) my hand, but something much stronger than me pulled it up.
"I did it, " I said. Then I was silent. It was hard enough saying what I had.
My teacher went to one of our bookshelves and took down a book. She then began walking towards my desk. I had nev er known my teacher to hit a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
" I know how you like birds, " she said as she stood looking down at my face. " Here is the field guide about birds ( 鸟类野外指南) that you always check out from our school library. It is yours now. We have got a new one for the school. You will not be punished( 惩罚). But remember, it's only for your honesty.
I couldn't believe it! I wasn't being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide, the one that I had been saving up all my money to buy.
( )51. How did the writer feel when he saw his teacher walking towards him with a book from bookshelves
A. Relaxed. B. Pleased. C. Frightened. D. Guilty.
( )52. What do the underlined words "cheek out" mean
A. lend B. borrow C. test D. buy
( )53. Which of the following is true according to the story
A. The writer's teacher often hit her students.
B. The writer broke the window when he was catching a bird.
C. The writer was seriously punished after he admitted his mistake.
D. The writer didn't want to admit his mistake at the beginning. ( )54. What can we learn from the story
A. He who is honest is wise. B. Better late than never.
C. Practice makes perfect. % D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
第Ⅱ卷(五部分，共46分)
五、阅读文章，根据文章内容，完成句子(共6小题；每小题1分，满分6分)
The air around the earth is called atmosphere. It's up to more than 600 miles high. Airplanes fly only a few miles high in the air. The atmosphere makes the temperature on the earth so good that a great number of living things can stay alive.
Air is all around us. Air is a mixture of gases( 气体) that we can not see. About one fifth of the air is oxygen, which is needed by all living things. About four fifths of the air is nitrogen( 氮). Plants need it to live. There are other gases in the air. The most important among them is carbon dioxide. Green plants use carbon dioxide to make food. People give off carbon dioxide when they breathe.
Air has weight and takes up space. Air pressure ( 压力) inside our body is almost the same as air pressure outside. Because of this balance, we don't feel the pressure of the air on us.
Since the sun's heat affects the earth's air, the weather conditions on the earth change greatly: warm or hot; cool or colds; sunny or cloudy; windy, rainy, or snowy.
When temperature changes, what happens to the air When air is being heated, it expands ( 膨胀). That means it takes up more space. When air is being cooled, it takes up less space, or contracts(收缩).
55. We call the air around the earth_____________________________.
56. About twenty percent of the air is______________________________.
57. When people breathe, they give off__________________, which is used to make food by green plants.
58. Although air has__________________, we don't feel its pressure on us.
59. The weather on the earth is changeable because of______________________.
60. When the air temperature gets higher, the air____________________________.

"Where are you going " This question is often asked by Chinese when two friends meet in the street. But if you ask Americans the same question, they will be surprised because they think that "go ing to some place" is their own business. In their eyes, only a po liceman will ask such a question in the street.
The same thing will happen to Americans if you ask them " Have you had your meal ". In fact, to us Chinese, such questions do not mean anything but a greeting.
In America, when two friends meet in the street, they will say "Hello!" or "How are you ". They never ask "Where are you going " or " Have you had your meal ". If two friends meet at the mealtime and one asks the other "Have you had your meal " , that means he wants to invite his friend to have a meal with him. It's quite different from what it means in China.
The examples above tell us that people in different countries have different customs. Now we are learning foreign languages, we must pay great attention to their customs.

My favourite great book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain．Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri．He’s a lively and clever young boy，and he finds himself in many exciting adventures(冒险)．He runs away with his two friends，Huck Finn and Joe，to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days．With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave．and finally，they find a box of gold．
My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead．He decides to go to his own funeral．He hides and watches for a time． and then suddenly he appears． Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive．
Tom is the hero of the story，but there are other important characters．Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him．Becky is pretty with fair hair，Joe is Tom’s best friend．and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.
The theme of the story is about children growing up．It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom，social rules and how people are punished(惩罚)for bad behaviour.
Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876，but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today． And although it’s only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century，so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on--- read it! I know you’ll enjoy it，too

A．To a quiet street． B To a small town． C．To an island．D．To a forest．
52．Who is the bad man in the story

53．How did people feel when Tom appeared at his own funeral
A．They were surprised and pleased． B．They were surprised and sad
C．They were worried and excited．D．They were frightened and happy．
54．The whole book is mainly about _______ ．
A．freedom and social rules B．children’s bad behaviour
C the growth of young children D．strangers in American small towns
55．The writer writes the article to ____．
A．ask us to read the book
B．tell us how popular the book is today
C．tell us when Mark Twain wrote the story D．tell us why the story sounds very real
C
One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea．Today，when we think of Western tea culture，we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups．
Afternoon tea People believe that an English lady，Anna，first introduced the idea of afternoon tea．In the 18th and 19th centuries．the English ate only two main meals each day breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening．As a result，people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals．To solve this problem，Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o'clock．This meal included cakes and sandwiches．and tea was served(提供)to wash down the food．In order to make this afternoon meal important，fine china cups and plates，and silver teapots．knives，forks and spoons were used Soon，afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions．Today，afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain．
Will you come for coffee'
Coffee also has an important role in British culture．People often use the words“Will you come for coffee ” to mean“Would you like to come to my home for a chat ”Normally， several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange Juice will be served as well as coffee．and you will be asked what you would like．However，you will not normally he offered wine at a "coffee" party.
Coffeehouses and the London Stock Exchange
In the 17th century London，coffeehouses were busy and noisy places．Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee．In fact，the London Stock Exchange(股票交易所) is believed to have started from these coffeehouses 56．Anna introduced the idea of drinking afternoon tee because she ______．

B loved fine tea and beautiful china tea cups
C．wanted to share nice food with her friends
D found people felt hungry during the long wait between the two meals

Our local Community（社区）Youth Club is a very popular organization with young people in my town．I have been a member for four years now and I’ve taken part in a lot of interesting projects．These include fun activities such as holiday camps and discos. We have even made a video．
But it isn’t all just enjoyment．We have also started doing social work to help people in our neighbourhood．We have organized activities for small children during the holidays We have also formed a special support group to help young people stop smoking.
We are particularly proud of the most recent group we have created. It organizes regular visits to the local home for the elderly. This idea came from a school visit to a home for the elderly. My class spent an afternoon at the home and everyone found the visit very rewarding(有意义的)．
The old people at the home were excited by our visit．They were very talkative(健谈的) and they told us their personal stories．During our visit，the home was full of the sound of laughter．We sang songs and played games with the old people and had tea together．But we realized that life wasn’t always easy. Some of them were in poor health and were very unhappy．They couldn’t go outside and the visits by children brought some sunshine into their lives．
Many young people like me have very little contact with elderly people．As a result，we have a lot of wrong ideas about them．We have little or no idea of the kind of lives they lead in the homes．After this visit，my friends and I decided we should do something to help improve the quality of their lives．
Since the creation of our visiting group．over twenty volunteers have joined us．Up to now， we have organized three group evening parties and a concert．But I think the individual(单独的) visits are the most important．Club members regularly visit old people and everyone finds the experience rich and rewarding．

Have you ever had problems in your life and didn't know how to be happy If so, you will find the book ' Being a Happy Teenager ' 36 . In the book, the writer, Andrew Matthews, tells us how to 37 a happy life and he also answers the questions of teenagers.
The book deals with many subjects, such as problems with parents, friends or teachers. The book says we should stop 38 with others and learn to forgive. The book teaches us some skills. For example, you can turn 39 you have learned into pictures to make your memory better.
Many teenagers think that happiness comes from a good exam result or praise (表扬) from other people. But you can still be happy 40 there are no such 'good ' things.
Success comes from a 41 attitude( 态度) . If you can learn from problems, you will have suceess in the future.
Some school students have such problems as being too tall 42 too short. But Matthews says that happiness comes from thinking in a positive( 积极的) 43 . If you are tall, maybe you will be a basketball 44 ; if you are short, your clothes and shoes take 45 room(空间) in your bedroom! This is Matthews' most important lesson: you choose to be happy!

We see with our eyes and taste with our tongues (舌头). Ears are for hearing, skin is for feeling and noses are for smelling. Would anyone say that ears can smell, or that tongues can see Actually, yes. Paul Bach-y-Rita, a scientist at the University of Wisconsin, believes that the senses can be changeable. For example, a tongue can be used for seeing. The brain( 大脑) , as we know, is a complex organ( 复杂的器官) . Even when part of it is hurt, it will try to carry out the same function by sending the function to another area of the brain.
A college student was asked to take part in an experiment. In the experiment, his eyes were covered with a small video camera. The camera was connected to a long plastic line which went into his mouth. A computer would change the video's picture. The picture would travel through the plastic line as an electric current ( 电流) , reaching the electrodes ( 电极板) inside the student's mouth. The scientist would roll a ball towards his right side, left side, or centre, and the student would have to catch it. When the scientist rolled the ball; pain passed over the
student's tongue. From the position( 位置) of the pain on the tongue, the student reached out his hand and caught the ball.
If the brain can see a ball through a camera and a wet tongue, blindness and deafness can be overcome(克服).

Luckily, we human beings have taken some actions: The birth rate ( 出生率) is under control; more trees are being planted. ... However, not everyone has taken that seriously.

A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honours(荣誉) a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede called Alfred Nobel. He was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Alfred Nobel was a great scientist. He made two important inventions(发明), and so he became very rich(富裕的). Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man during his large part of life. When he died at the age of 63, he left a fund of $9,000,000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made great achievements in physics, chemistry(化学), medicine and literature(文学), and for world peace.
The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10, 1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Since then many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements.

Belief: Chicken soup helps to fight a cold.
Fact: For centuries, people have believed that chicken soup is good for a cold. Now, doctors say this belief may be true. Scientists say that chicken soup contains(包含) a special substance(物质) that stops a cold from getting worse. Also, heat from the soup can make a person feel better.
Belief: A vegetarian diet is unhealthy.
Fact: Meat, especially red meat, contains protein(蛋白质) that the body needs. A person who doesn’t eat meat can get enough protein and be healthy by eating tofu, eggs, nuts, and certain vegetables.
Belief: Chocolate causes skin trouble.
Fact: This is a general belief that is not true! Scientists say that eating chocolate does not cause skin trouble. More often, the cause is stress or not getting enough sleep.
Belief: Tea is better than coffee.
Fact: A study in 2002 showed that black or green tea contains substances that can protect your heart, fight cancer and make fat less in your body. Coffee does not do this.
Belief: Foods like bread and potatoes are fattening(使发胖).
Fact: Bread and potatoes do not contain much fat, or many calories. Eating too much and not exercising can cause us to get heavier. Also, adding fattening things like butter(奶油) to bread and potatoes can raise the number of calories we eat.

The search for life outside the Earth may have moved to a new and exciting level. A team of astronomers ( 天文学家) said they have found a new planet that has many important parts similar to those of the Earth.
The planet, which travels around a red dwarf star( 红矮星) called Gliese 581, has the right size and temperature. Most importantly, the planet lies in the suitable living area of the star, which makes the planet not too hot or too cold.
Scientists say the new world, Gliese 581C is five times larger than the Earth. It may have water since it is in the right place for the red dwarf to survive in space.
Swiss scientist Michel Mayor said it is an important step on the way to find possible life in the space and there are still lots of questions.
For more than ten years, astronomers and scientists have been keeping their eyes on the space in search for another Earth, another world that can support life or already has it.
According to records, the first discovery of extra solar(太阳系) planet going around a normal star was made in 1995. Since then, the number of newly discovered worlds has increased to about 200. But they are just dead with lifeless bodies.
The Gliese 581C came into our eyes and mankind has reason to celebrate. After all, we may have living neighbours. The discovery doesn't promise much, but it offers hope that there could be other people or living things out there.

A. They hate the life on the Earth.

The earth has warmed by about 1 °F (华氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which makes the earth warmer.
First,greenhouse effect (温室效应) is a very important reason for the change of the earth. Peo ple give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate ("n. f^ ) change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Some times there is too much rain and sometimes too lit tle. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate,too.
When the earth becomes warmer,there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island, 100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no lon ger live on the coast. Before that,two islands with out people went underwater in 1999. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one metre by 2100.
People can affect the earth's air, land and wa ter. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth.
61. Earth Day is probably set for people to_________.
A. learn more about the earth
B. make full use of the earth
C. take better care of the earth
D. study the warmth of the earth
62. We can infer (推断) from the passage that the reasons for the warmer earth are_________now.
A. not very clear B. completely secret
C. well known D. not given yet
63. Greenhouse effect comes from_________.
A. sea rising B. climate change-
C. nature's unbalance D. people's activity
64. According to the passage,_________ may affect each other.
A. animals and islands
B. climate and the warmth of the earth
C. fridges and animals
D. sea level and the growth of plants
65. The passage mainly tells us that________.

六、阅读与回答问题(共5小题；每小题l分，满分5分)请认真阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答短文后的各个问题，并将答案写在每个小题下的横线上。
Wang Fei, a Chinese student, and Mary, an American student studying Chinese in China, were in a supermarket. They saw a young man walking down the stairs. In his hurry,he missed the last two steps and fell onto the ground. He tried to stand up while people around him laughed. Luckily, he seemed to be OK.
Mary found Wang Fei smiling a little and was not happy about it. "Tell me,Fei,how could people laugh when someone fell like that Why didn't they go up and ask him if he was hurt "
Wang Fei said," Because they knew he wasn't hurt too much. "
"But I still don't understand. A fall is a.fall. In my culture,people would never laugh!n
This is an example. The Chinese and the west erner will think and act differently when seeing such a thing. Chinese people are used to laughing or smiling. Very often the person who is in embarrassing ( 困窘的) situation would also laugh or smile to get out of it. However, if someone gets hurt seri ously, it will not be a laughing matter arty more. People will help him or her instead.
But, in that case, a westerner will rush over
and help the person get up. If a westerner falls, he or she, like a Chinese person, may try to make a joke if he or she is not hurt. If two close friends are walking together, and one falls but clearly isn't hurt,a common joke is to say "Have a nice trip".
So different people have different habits and different countries have different cultures.
96. Will Wang Fei and Mary think and act in the same way if they see a young man falling down
97. Why didn't people go up and ask the young man if he was hurt
98. What do Chinese people often do when they find themselves in embarrassing situation
99. What is a westerner likely to do when he or she sees someone fall down
100. What might Mary say to Wang Fei if he fell but clearly was not hurt

Thank you for your last letter asking about our Sunshine Sports Programme. Now we have sports for an hour every day. In my school, most boys are crazy about football as they find it exciting. Some of them play basketball to make themselves strong. On the other hand, girls often skip to relax themselves and many of them prefer exercises since they believe they will keep them fit and slim.
I think the Sunshine Sports Programme is very important to us students. We used to be tired and some of us were not strong enough because we had so much schoolwork that we hardly had enough time for sports. So the Programme will cer tainly do good to our health and growth.
Best wishes, Zhong Tong

Finally they had an idea: they dug(挖)a small river from their factory to the temple. Then they poured water into it. In winter the water in the small river froze to make an "ice road". They tied thick wood to the bottom of the bell, pulled the bell to the ice and skated it along on top of the ice to the temple.

Good morning, boys and girls. Today I'll talk about going online.
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer and can get more information from the In ternet. We can learn English. We can read some good newspapers and magazines. It can make us clever in playing com puter games. We can send e-mails to our friends quickly. We can chat freely online with our friends.

Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online, so they do worse and worse in their lessons and they don't study well any more. I think we mustn't get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays or at the weekend.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some out-of-class activities at school. We usually have activ ities from 4' 50 to 5- 50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football on Monday or Thursday afternoon. We can join some interests groups in school, such as drawing or reading on Tuesday afternoon, or singing and dancing on Wednesday afternoon. We can go to the English Corner on Friday afternoon. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities.

Most people do well, they are always ready to help others, some help the blind/the old to cross the road, some pick up the rubbish on the way. But there are still some people, they are not so polite, some draw pictures or write mean ingless words on the wall, some spit everywhere, some don't wait in line, these are all bad manners and shouldn't be done. I think people should have some good habits, such as waiting in line, speaking in a low voice in public places, and helping the weak. If everyone tries to do good and be polite, we are sure to turn our city into a civilized one.

Who are the top students in the world, do you know Last week the Organization for Economic Co-operation Development (经济合作与发展组织) picked the best students in the world. They are Finnish (芬兰的). The OECD gave a test to 280 000 15-year-old students from more than 40 coun tries and regions (地区) last year. The OECD wan ted to know how well students were doing at school.
Finnish students were No. 1 in the reading test and second in maths after Hong Kong students. Those from Japan and Finland were top in science. In the problem solving, Finnish students came sec ond to those from South Korea. The test also showed Finland had more top students than the other countries.

Libraries are also important. Finland spends a lot of money on them. Many students have a free card. They read for at least one or two hours a day.

Penguins are lovely animals. Most people like them. But now as many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins are in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins has decreased by ( 减少了) 30% since 1987.
Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in the Antarctic Continent (南极大陆) ,New Zealand, Australia and South America. Many live near cold waters (水域). But some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins cannot fly, but they are fine swimmers. The shape of their body helps them to survive. Penguins eat fish and krill (磷虾). They have short wings that help them to dive up to 900 feet to catch larger fish. They can swim 10-15 kilometers an hour which lets them protect themselves. They also have lots of body oil that helps in keeping them dry in the water.
The warming of the earth is the reason for the decrease in the number of penguins. The hotter and hotter air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperature has decreased the fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce. And many adult penguins die of hunger.
Too much fishing, exploration for oil and oil leaks (泄漏) also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous things in ocean waters are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies, including sharks, seals and sea lions.
52. Penguins can do the following except________.
A. diving B. flying C. swimming D. catching fish
53. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the decrease in the number penguins
A. The warming of the earth. B. Too much fishing.
C. Natural disasters. D. Poisonous things in ocean waters.
54. What does the underlined word "reproduce" mean
A．繁殖B．灭绝C．迁徙D．觅食

A. Fish and krill have decreased.
B. Ocean waters are polluted.
C. Sharks and seals are the enemies of pen guins.
D. The decrease in the number of penguins.

Health is very important to us teenagers. Either study or work is based on strong body. Doing sports every day helps us keep healthy and energetic. If we don't take any exercise, we may feel tired and get sick easily. Just as the slogan says, "Exercise one hour a day, keep illness away. "
There are many kinds of sports we can do, such as running, swimming and ball games.
Now we students have to do too much homework after school. I hope teachers will leave us less homework so that we can have more time to take part in sports. I also hope our school can organize more sports activities for us.

Advice on Doing Your Homework
Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you want to do your homework right after school,you may want to eat something before get ting to work. Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don't wait until late in the evening, or the assignment will seem much harder than it really is.
Divide your time into a few parts if you have more than an hour's work. Relax yourself after an hour. However,don't divide it up so much that you can't get anything done. You should be able to work at least half an hour at a time without stop ping.
Don't put off ( 推迟) until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your mind and you won't enjoy your free time. If you put off until the end of the week or until right before a test,you will have too much to do. A little bit each night,enough to keep up with what is hap pening each day in school, will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it.
Do your homework at the same time every day. This will help you make it a habit—part of your daily work. It will make it easier to do, and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well.
50. When someone is hungry, he'd better
A. not work at all
B. work harder
C. not work too hard

Think about an 11-year-old child spending her days washing clothes, looking after a baby brother, and doing hard work on the farm.
Think about a little girl. She knows there will not be enough food for dinner,and has no water to drink because it is not clean. She has watched her father, brother and sister lose their lives as the family has no money to send for a doctor.
Hard to believe For Maria Pastora, these are the facts of life.
Maria would gladly walk to school, but her mother,now alone,really needs her at home. Maria had to leave school to work for her poor family.
But for five dollars a week, you can help out a child like Maria. Show her that somewhere, some one will help her. Through Save the Children, you can help Maria's mother get better crops (收成) from their farm,and earn the money to buy clothes and things for school.
To help Maria most, your money is to put to gether with other helpers, so hardworking people can help themselves. Build a school or a hospital, make their farm better,bring in clean water... This is what Save the Children has been about since 1932.
For you there are many returns. You can write letters to each other,get photos,or study reports. Know you are helping and saving another person in the same world as you. That's how Save the Chil dren works. But without you, it can't work. Please take a moment to fill in this form to help a child like Maria and her village.
It can make such a difference. . . in her life and yours.

A Thanks-giving Campaign Day
Today, we had a thanks-giving campaign day in our school with a lot of activities. In the morning, I made some thank-you cards and gave them to my teachers. From 3' 00 to 4' 00 p. m, I joined in a speech competition. In it, I read a thank-you letter to Mum and Dad. After I came back home in the evening, I helped my parents do some housework.
I had such a meaningful day today. Now, I realize that my parents and teachers and many others are doing a lot for me. I must thank them by studying harder and becoming a useful person in the future.
