Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to speak to anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems.
Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he had smiled, but he couldn’t remember doing so!
It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it is lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.
When did the writer get the gift?

Why was the smile an important gift?

Why didn’t the writer talk to anyone in her new school about her problems?

How did the smile change her life?

Where does she now think her feeling of unhappiness came from?

Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.
1. Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.
2. Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium (钙) to grow strong bones, and milk is rich in it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar only includes calories (热量), not important nutrition.
3. Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.
4. Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.
In this passage, “health” includes all of the following EXCEPT ______.

The underlined phrase “a variety of” means ______.

Which of the following is NOT true?

Screen time is the time that you spend ______.

What’s the main idea of the passage?

In Britain you may often hear “Drop in any time” or “Come to see me soon”, but you can’t really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says “RSVP”, you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to go.
You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to come.” If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there. Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate(合适的). A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is an appropriate way to express your appreciation for the invitation.
What can you do when a British friend says, “Drop in anytime”?

What does the underlined word “RSVP” probably mean in Chinese?

What should you do if your British friend sends you an invitation but you do not want to go?

Which of the following is considered impolite in Britain?

Where would you probably see this passage?

  At the World Expo Shanghai 2010, you will be able to see the world in just one day.
The World Expo (short for “exposition”) is the third largest world event after the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup. Countries build pavilions(展示馆) at the Expo, showing off technologies and cultures with colorful exhibitions and performances.
People can experience the most advanced technologies at the World Expo. Throughout history, many new inventions have made their debuts(样品) at the World Expo, including the TV, telephone and even the ice cream cone.
But the Expo is not just a trade fair(商品交易会). It’s a platform(平台) for cultural exchange, bringing people closer to the rest of the world.
For example, at the Shanghai Expo, couples may be able to marry in French-style weddings at the France Pavilion. Thailand will let visitors walk into its emperor’s palace. Visitors to the Austria Pavilion will have the chance to experience the snow-capped mountains of the country.
Many countries have also decided to bring their national treasures to the event.
Since the 1993 Expo in Chicago, the World Expo began to focus on one theme. It changed from a show into a community event. Visitors are invited to help solve global issues, such as environmental problems.
The theme of the Shanghai Expo is “Better city, better life”. It will call on the world to solve the problems human beings face as a result of urbanization(城市化). In the future, more and more people may care about protecting the places they live in.
Countries build pavilions to show us ______ with colorful exhibitions and performances.

What’s the meaning of “cultural exchange” in this passage?

Which of the following is NOT true at the World Expo in this passage?

When did the World Expo begin to focus on one theme?

What is the theme of the Shanghai Expo?
