"You don't have to rush," I said 10 . Her whole face immediately brightened and her shoulders relaxed. And so we sat side-by-side talking. There were even moments when we sat in

When she got to the last bite, she held out a spoonful of ice crystals and sweet juice for me. "I

We use our umbrella for protection from the rain. However, people first used umbrellas for protection from the sun. People in China were the first ones to use their umbrellas for rain. They put wax(蜡纸) on paper umbrellas.
European women used umbrellas before European men used them. Jonas Hanway was the first man to carry one in England. He made umbrellas popular for men and women. Some people called the umbrella a Hanway because of him.
We make umbrellas from many different things. The first ones were wood and cloth. Now many are plastic(塑料). Today umbrellas are easy to carry. They fold up into a small package(包). The umbrella is a great invention. Don’t forget yours the next time when it rains.

13.阅读理解。
Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. “I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?” he said to mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is “OK”, but he often gets “You can do better than this.” Mum knows what it means. She tells me “You can do better than this” means “Extremely bad” in China.
In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is “Please be nicer tomorrow”. Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.
But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spend more time on homework than I did when I was 6th grade in the US! Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked hard enough.
Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.
（1）Why did Ted come home with a letter last Friday?
A.Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother.
B.Because he did something wrong.
C.Because the teacher was happy with his progress.
D.Because the teacher thought he was too lazy.
（2）The underlined words “high expectations” in this passage means “________”.
A.很高的待遇
B.很多的自由
C.很高的期望
D.很多的关爱
（3）The writer mainly wants to tell us ________.
A.the differences between Chinese education and American education
B.Chinese students are better than American students
C.American parents are not strict enough with their children
D.what's the best way to educate child

Computers are beneficial for almost anyone and the present generation is growing in an atmosphere(氛围) where you need the computers for doing almost everything .If they are not made computer literate(精通) they will lag behind in all the activities. Nowadays almost all schools have some kind of computer courses for the students so that they learn the fundamentals of the computer. It will not be possible to do it if they don’t have computer classes. Most of the homes have personal computers now and most children are already aware of the
basics before they join school.
Computing courses are also good for adults who are not familiar with the computer as most of the jobs which are available today have the use of computer in some way or the other. Adults who have not used the computer before are generally quite anxious, but an easy computing course will be able to change the way they think in a few weeks.

It is also possible you may like to do the computing course for enjoyment as some of the classes are also
free .There are courses which charge a fee for skills like graphic design and photo editing .

15.Have you ever heard of e-waste(electric waste,电子垃圾), which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they're broken or you want a new one?
Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons
of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.
It's important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful（有害的）, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine（城市矿藏）. The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals（有毒化学物质） can get into the earth or air, effecting the environment and people's health. Apple, for example, now recycle people's used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce（减少）e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/b84586443.html,puters
B.mobile phones

21. Dear classmates,
May I have your attention, please?
Yesterday I paid a visit to a middle school with my classmates. It's a big school with a beautiful fountain in the center of the school yard.
We started our visit from the main building. First we went to the lab building where some students were doing experiments. Then we visited the lecture hall be-hind the lab building. There many students were listening to a lecture given by a professor. Opposite to the lecture hall was the art center. In the center we saw groups of students playing the piano. Finally we got to the playground at the far back of the school. Some boys were having a football game. It was so exciting that we couldn't help cheering for them. It was really an interesting visit.
Thank you for your attention.
