2、eighbours usually give them some candy as a "treat". If the children do not get any candy, they can play a trick on their neighbours. Some people also make lanterns out of big orange pumpkins. They cut out the eyes, the nose and the sharp teeth. They put candles in them so the light shines

3、 through the eyes, the nose and the teeth.2 My ideal school starts at 8 a.m. and finishes at 3 p.m. I love sports and computers, so we have PE and computer lessons every day. The classes are quite small. There are about 20 students in each class. There is a big dining hall. There we can eat and chat

4、 with our friends. There is a park on one side of our school and a shopping mall on the other. We have a big library. We also have a tennis court and a swimming pool. There are lots of clubs and after-school activities. Every month, we go on a school trip to a museum or a theatre.3 My name is Lucy.

5、I am in Year 9 at Woodland School near London. It is a mixed school. Boys and girls have lessons together. My favourite subject is French. Learning foreign languages is fun. Our school has a Reading Week every year. During the week, we can borrow more books from the school library. We can also bring

6、 in books and magazines from home. I often read more books than my classmates. Near the end of the week, we discuss the books with our classmates in class. Time seems to go faster when we are reading interesting books.4 Zhalong Nature Reserve is in North-east China. It is one of the world's most

7、 important wetlands. The area provides food and cover for a lot of wildlife. It is a perfect place for some rare birds. Some people want to make the wetlands smaller in order to have more space for farms and buildings. This will lead to less and less space for wildlife. Now the Chinese government ha

8、s made laws to protect Zhalong. Wetlands are important because they provide food and shelter for wildlife including some endangered birds, and they also help prevent floods. We must protect the home of plants, fish and birds in Zhalong.5 Hi, my name is Joanna. I live with my family in a small town.

9、My parents are very strict. They disagree on everything I do. For example, when I talk on the phone for more than five minutes, they always tell me to stop. I like talking on the phone because I am not allowed to go out with friends. It is my only chance to communicate with them. I talk on the phone

10、 in my spare time. The caller's number is shown on the phone, so my parents can always tell who is calling me. Why do they still not let me talk on the phone?6 I love reading. I spend over seven hours a week reading different types of books. On weekdays, I usually read for about half an hour bef

11、ore going to bed. I read a lot at the weekend. I am interested in history books, but I like novels best. The four great classical Chinese novels are my favourite. I get most of my books from Sunshine Library it is just opposite my home. My friends give me lots of advice on books. We often meet toget

12、her and discuss what to read. Reading is always a wonderful time. Good books are good friends. They also open up a whole new world to me.7 Today, we are going to make potato stamps. Potato stamps are very easy to make. First, you should get a large potato. Don't use a small one, as it'll be

13、too difficult to hold. Next, wash it. You want to be sure to get it really clean. Now cut it in half with a knife. Be careful! I don't want anyone to get hurt. Next, you should draw a design on the end of the potato with a pen. Then carefully cut the design out with the tip of your knife. When y

14、ou're done, pour some paint onto the plate. Now put the cut end of your potato into the paint. Finally, put the potato onto a piece of paper. Wasn't that fun?8 We are going to hold a talk on good table manners this afternoon. The purpose is to teach students rules for eating. There will be a

15、 lot of advice on table manners. Above all, when you are sitting at the table, you should not start eating until everyone is ready, and it is impolite to make too much noise while you are eating or drinking. You should not eat with your mouth open or talk with food in your mouth. Before you leave th

16、e table, wait for everyone to finish. These rules are important because we should make sure that both guests and hosts are comfortable at the table.9 New York, London, Paris and many other cities are exciting places to live. There are lots of interesting things to see and do. But there are serious p

17、roblems in big cities too. It is expensive to live there, and there are too many people. Every year many people move to the cities to find work, study at good schools and receive high-quality medical care. But sometimes these people can't find work or good places to live. Also it is hard to keep

18、 big cities safe and clean. So, before people move to a big city, they should think about these problems they might have to deal with there.10Everybody thinks I have a real gift for painting. However, I once did not like art lessons because I could not draw very well. One day, I was playing with som

19、e paint as usual in Ms Lou's art lesson. I mixed the paint with water. As I took the brush away, I dropped some paint onto the paper. Looking at the mark, I decided to blow it. The paint began to run, so I blew harder. The paint ran in all directions and made a very interesting picture! "Th

20、at's a very good picture, Sandy." Ms Luo encouraged me to keep trying. Since then, I have been crazy about crayons and paints.11Dear Sandy,I have just listened to a programme on the radio. It was about a new CD-ROM pack called "Daily English". It is a new course from Australia. Th

21、e pack includes a book and five CD-ROMs. It is very good for tourists and students. I'm sure we can learn a lot from it. We can learn about how to use the telephone and how to ask and answer questions. We can also learn to talk about the weather and the time. The course covers many topics, such

22、as travel and hotels, food and drink, and shopping and money.I am going to order a pack online. Do you want me to order one for you too?Regards,Millie12 Our environment is changing for the worse, so it is time for us to go green. Here are some simple steps to take at home. We can save water by takin

23、g shorter showers and turning off the tap when we brush our teeth. In order to save power, we should turn off the lights when we leave a room. Some other good habits can help reduce pollution too. We should not use plastic bags when shopping. Recycling is also a good way to help reduce pollution. We

24、 should separate waste into different groups so that it can be recycled.

It is a very meaningful activity because volunteering helps and gives support to different groups in society. Young people can choose to volunteer in many different charities and proje

31、cts. For example, I do voluntary work for two charities: the first one gives help and support to homeless people, and the second one takes care of the disabled people. Another choice is to take part in special projects or events to raise money for charity. Some people take part in charity walks, or

32、they donate money to charities. You can even organize one of these events yourself.17 We need to do something for giant pandas. They are now in danger. For example, giant pandas do not have many babies during their lives, and it's easy for baby pandas to get sick and die when they are very young

33、. Also, giant pandas mainly live on a special kind of bamboo, so the bamboo forests are very important to them. However, the bamboo forests are becoming smaller and smaller. As a result, giant pandas may not have a place to live or food to eat. There are now only about 1,600 pandas in the wild. We s

34、hould take action to protect them right away.18Dear Millie,Thank you very much for your letter. I hope I can offer you some useful advice.You said you often stay up late to finish all your homework. Plan your day carefully. Make a list of all the homework you have.

35、ed to finish it all. This will give you an idea of how much spare time you have.You also said that you do not have enough time for your hobbies. What about choosing your hobby according to the time you have?I hope you think my advice is worth taking.Best wishes,Helen19 I have to choose a new colour

36、for my bedroom. It's a very important decision, because colour can change a person's mood. I like orange, because it's a happy, warm colour. It can make people feel comfortable. My best friend Jack doesn't agree though. He thinks green is better. Jack says that green represents natur

37、e and that it can make you feel energetic. I remind Jack that green is also the colour of envy. My mother recommends blue. She thinks blue is a calm and peaceful colour, so it will make me less stressed and help me relax after school. Perhaps she is right.20 All around the world, people drink tea. B

38、ut tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea. In China people like to have tea together with their friends. They drink tea at any time of the day. They put only tea leaves in their cups. They prefer tea with nothing in it

39、. Tea is also popular in Japan. People have tea every day. But the way they drink it is different from that in China. In the USA people drink tea at breakfast or after meals. They usually use tea bags to make their tea.21 Dinosaurs lived on the Earth a long time ago. We now know that the first dinos

40、aurs appeared about 230 million years ago. There were hundreds of different kinds of dinosaurs, but they didn't live at the same time. Some dinosaurs were really small. One of the smallest dinosaurs was about one metre long and weighed about three kilograms. Others were really big. Some very lar

41、ge ones weighed over 100,000 kilograms and some were about 40 metres long. Some dinosaurs ate plants and others ate meat, but they didn't eat grass. All dinosaurs had four legs and lived on land.22 I went to Hainan with my parents in February. Hainan lies in the south of China. Haikou is the cap

42、ital city of Hainan Province. There are many famous attractions in it. We went to the Holiday Beach, a fantastic place. It was a sunny day, so we took a walk along the beach. We also went to People's Park. We hired a bicycle and rode around the park. It was much fun! Then we went to Sanya. We we

43、nt to see some underground caves. I took many photos of them. There is so much to see in Hainan. I want to visit it again in the future.23 My neighbours are kind and helpful. Some of them are volunteers. They have different skills and often help us with all kinds of problems. Usually there is a &quo

44、t;helping hands" meeting at the weekend. People go there when they need help with their problems. Computer engineers are popular. They help people check their computers. You can also find someone to fix things like broken bicycles. Students can get help with their homework. There are some colle

45、ge students among the volunteers, and they are always ready to help. We are lucky to live in a neighbourhood like that. People here are like a big family.24 Kites have a long history in China. The Chinese began to make kites over 2,000 years ago. The first kite in history was made out of wood by Moz

46、i. His student Lu Ban used bamboo to make kites. In the Eastern Han dynasty, Cai Lun found a new way to make paper, and then people began to use paper to make kites. In the 13th century, an Italian man called Marco Polo visited China. He told people in the West all about kites. In the Ming and Qing

47、dynasties, kite flying became a very popular outdoor activity. People liked to fly kites on sunny, windy days in spring.25 Winter is my favourite season. It is very cold and everyone has to wear thick warm clothes, but I always enjoy the winter here in Harbin. The temperature is usually below zero a

48、nd it is often snowy. Everything is covered in deep white snow, and the lakes and rivers are frozen. During this season, you cannot see beautiful flowers or green trees, but the land is quiet and beautiful. My friends and I love playing outside in winter. It is exciting to have big snowball fights.

49、We also make snowmen and use carrots for their noses. They look funny. Winter is great!26 Yao Ming was born in Shanghai in 1980. He got his first basketball when he was only four years old, but he did not become serious about basketball until he was 12. Yao joined the Houston Rockets in 2002 and bec

50、ame the best Chinese player to ever play in the NBA. When Yao Ming lived in the USA, he returned to China whenever he was needed. He took part in the Olympics in 2004 and in 2008 as one of the Chinese athletes. Since he ended his basketball career, Yao has done a lot of charity work, especially for
