Tips for Living in China
⒈ Dinners
When you are invited to dinner, you don't have to eat everything. First, try a little of every dish by putting some on your plate or in a rice bowl. You don't have to eat it. But as a foreign guest, your're supposed to be served first. If you don't try something, your host will be embarrassed-and will put it on your plate for you.
⒉ Chopsticks
The main difference on the Chinese dinner table is that people use chopsticks instead of knife and fork. Remember don't point at others with chopsticks or wave them around when you talk at dinner. Never stick them upright in your rice bowl-that's how the Chinese honor the dead at graves（坟墓）. Instead, you should put chopsticks beside the plate.
⒊ Bargaining
When you go to open-air markets or private stores, you need to bargain with the shop assistants. Remember to establish a friendly relationship first. You are creating a relationship with the sellers, not a price war. Think of it this way: Shouting, arguing, and pointing are not good.

Schools in the UK are cutting time spent on PE lessons because of exam pressures. Secondary school teachers said that older teenagers were especially likely to miss out, because the time spent on physical education for 14-16 -year-olds had fallen in the past five years.
Teachers said that increased pressure to produce exam results was leading to children being pulled out of PE lessons. One in three said exam pressures were behind the decline, and they said subjects such as English and Maths had been given more time at the cost of PE.
Almost all of the teachers from the 487 schools said PE should be more valued for its advantages to young people. Mental health experts also warned that cutting down on exercise could increase children's mental health problems. Cal Strode, spokesman for the Mental Health Foundation, said cutting PE time would be "short-sighted and dangerous". He said, "It is worrying to hear that PE is being cut at a time when students are facing problems with stress and anxiety in increasing numbers. There's a close relationship between mental and physical health."
Tom Madders, director of campaigns at charity Young Minds, said, "Schools' cutting down on physical education because of exam pressures is worrying. Schools that value health also do better in study, so it makes sense to keep good health, rather than putting children under more pressure."
Rising exam stress has been raised as a problem by experts who warn that children are under greater pressure because of a competitive jobs market. Ali Oliver, an expert, said, "The PE is good for physical and mental health. So cutting down physical education time is depriving young
people of these advantages at a time when they need them most."
（1）What do we know about the text?
A. Schools that value health do worse in study.
B. Good physical health is good for mental health.
C. Many teachers don't realize the importance of PE
D. Children in the UK have serious mental problems.
（2）_______ said that Cutting PE time would be "short-sighted and dangerous".
A. The teachers in the UK.
B. Tom Madders
C. Cal Strode
D. Ali Oliver （3）According to the text, the exam pressure is from ______.
A. future work
B. poor mental health
C. parents' expectations
D. schools' requirements
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The importance of physical education
B. Teachers' support of getting more PE time
C. The serious problems of education in the UK
D. Schools' cutting down PE time for exam pressure
【答案】（1）B

Why does the sky change colors?
What is the sky? How high is it? What color is it? What birds can live above it? These questions
are difficult to answer, aren't they?
In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue?
We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can't fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1, 200 kilometers from the earth, we'll find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air.
Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun.
Sometimes the sky doesn't look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day.
Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space. However, before flying into outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth, and there is no air at all. The sky would be that dark and its color would be black.
Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters（使散射） the sunlight. light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light or colors.
（1）Planes can't fly as high as possible because_________.
A. the sky is blue
B. the wings are heavier
C. the sky has no color
D. the air becomes thinner
（2）When you stand on the top of a high mountain, you will see_________.
A. more air
B. the bluer sky
C. more colors
D. more clouds
（3）In Ningbo, we might see many colors in the sky at _________during the day.
A. 6: 00 a. m.
B. 10: 00 a. m.

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can't learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I'm good at it. I'm very glad to tell you something about how I study English.
First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject-English. It was fresh to me. I became interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! Since then, I have been learning English harder and harder. Our English teacher often taught us English songs, and the songs sounded nice. I often think how interesting English is!
Second, English is another language different from our Chinese. We should learn it in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully in class, speak bravely, read aloud and have a larger and larger vocabulary, and then practice again and again. And I have a good habit: whenever I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand it!
Besides, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So, to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.
And I also do some exercises in our workbooks, and I keep English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.
Now I have learned English for more than two years. I am always in the first place in our class. Of course, I hope every classmate of mine can learn English well, too.

It's important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:
Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely（明智地）. A larger number of trees are cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we will not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to use things wisely.
Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them away. For example, you can give your clothes you do not wear any more to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling them we save lots of time and money. For example, Coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat （压平） and melted（融化） and the metal things are made for new Coke cans.
Recover（恢复）
When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten（腐烂的） apples, you have two choices（选择）: One is to throw the whole apples away, or you can cut off the rotten parts and keep the good parts. In the way, you are recovering the eatable（能吃的） parts of food.
Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.
（1）The "reduce" rule mainly wants us .
A. to use things wisely
B. to cut down many trees
C. to use a lot of paper
D. to throw away your old things

C. to get back the useful parts
D. to throw the whole things away

（2）细节理解题。根据Bottles，cans and paper can easily be recycled。By recycling them we save lots of time and money. For example，Coke cans are sent to a factory，where they are smashed flat（压平）and melted（融化）and the metal things are made for new Coke cans.可知回收可乐罐的顺序应该是：收集-送到工厂-压平-融化，故选B。
（3）细节理解题。根据one is to throw the whole apples away，or you can cut off the rotten parts and keep the good parts可知"recover"主要是要我们找回有用的部分，故选C。

Each year, more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups and plates for a
long time. But now we hear that chairs, tables, and even beds can be made of paper. Besides paper boots and shoes, you can wear paper hats, paper dresses, and paper raincoats. When you have used them once, you may throw them away and buy new ones.
The latest use of paper seems to be paper houses. These are not small houses for children to play in, but real, big houses for people to live in.

Friends are important to the children. Research shows that children who have no friends can suffer from difficulties later in life. Friendship provides children with more than just fun. By making friends, children learn how to get in touch with others and solve problems. Having friends even does good to children's study for they can help each other after class.
If parents care about their children whether they have made many friends, what matters is that the child is comfortable and happy with his friends. Parents need to understand the steps children take in building friendships.
First of all, be a friend of your child's. Good friendships start at home. Children begin to develop the necessary ability to go out and meet others through getting on with their parents. Greet the child warmly and let him know you are glad to see him. Children learn a lot from how their parents stay with them and other people.
Teach children how to solve conflicts. Being able to work out conflicts is an important skill in getting along with others. If parents know the children have a conflict, let them work it out on their own. Only step in if it is really necessary, for example, an argument is getting physical.
Give children chances to practise staying together. Make children play games that require teamwork and group problem-solving skills. For example, races are fun and provide plenty of practice in teamwork. "In what way didn't you work well together? What might you do differently next time?" For these ideas, read books such as Cooperative Sports and Games Book by Terry Orlick, and Team Building Activities for Every Group by Alanna Jones.
Encourage children to express thanks to others. Parents can encourage children to do this by setting examples for them.
（1）According to the article, if one child has no friend, he will .
A. have some troubles in the future
B. worry about everything in the future
C. not know the importance of making friends
D. not find anybody to help him
（2）Friendships can be helpful to children EXCEPT .
A. providing a lot of fun
B. getting in touch with others
C. solving problems
D. helping others to cheat in the exams

A. tell what parents should do to help children make friends
B. show having friends even does good to children's study during the classes
C. tell parents to understand the steps of children's friendships
D. show how important friendships are to children
（4）When children have a conflict, parents should .
