Dear Jack,
I’m sorry to hear that you feel lonely in the new school, because you find hard to make friends. Now, I’d like to offer you any advice.
Firstly, it’s normal for you to feel lonely because you were living in a new environment. Secondly, you should greet your classmates when met them on campus. Thirdly, it will be a good idea if you take an actively part in class activities, what can help them learn more about you. I believe you will be able to make new friends soon unless you’re friendly to the others.
I hope the suggestion above will be helpful to you and everything will be fine with you for the future.
Yours,
Li Hua

Last week I went to visit to my former neighbor, Mr. Yang. He and I used to living next to each other for many years. About half a year ago, an order came which the old building , along with many other similar ones, were going to be pulled down to make room for a main street.
So I had to move apart. Mr. Yang now lives in the suburb near a beautiful park. His new
apartment is much big than before. The only problem is that it took quite a long time to get to the downtown area. Therefore, Mr. Yang doesn’t seem to worry about the long distance. He says that new subway line is to be built in a few year and he is sure life will be better in the future.

How to Become Cleverer? Once a boy came to ask a fisherman how to become cleverer, because his mother always called him “foolish boy”.
“That’s easy,” answered the fisherman. “I know one way to make you become cleverer.”
“Really?”
“Of course. It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, you’ll become cleverer indeed. Pay only three pounds for one fish head.” The boy paid him three pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head and handed it to him.
A raw fish head is not good—not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gulps.
“Do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman.
“Not in my head,” said the boy.
The boy lay on the ground and thought. “One whole fish costs only two pounds. I had paid him three pounds for the fish head. Why couldn’t I have the whole fish for soup, a head for brain and one pound left over?” He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman. “You thief! You are fooling me!” The fisherman laughed, saying, “The fish head works now, you see.

Now most children chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.
Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.
To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).
Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb — all the best, bbfn — bye bye for now, cul8er — see you later, gr8 — great, Idk — I don’t know, imbl — it must be love, kit — keep in touch, paw — parents are watching, lol — laugh out loud, xlnt — excellent!
28. The passage is meant for ______.
A. children B. parents C. teachers D. net bar owners
29. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A. The Internet is no good for children.
B. The chat language is strange to adults.
C. Children shouldn’t chat so much online.
D. The Internet is a good place for children.
30. In order to keep children safe online, you’d better ______.
A. choose suitable websites and chat rooms for them
B. teach them to use correct net words
C. surf the Internet together with them
D. not let them use the Internet
31. If you stand beside him when your son is chatting about something secret online, he may use ______.
A. bbfn B. lol C. paw D. cul8er
All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy and happy, and to live longer.

17 Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy! 18 Think how many lovers to skate or ski in Japan, Norway or Canada.
Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. 19 Water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.
People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends. 20 One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.
A. And think of people in cold countries.
B. Sports help to train a person’s character.
C. Not a few people participate in different sports competitions themselves.

UrbanSpace in midtown New York is a place where white-collars come for lunch during their workdays.For the past a few months,customers have always lined up before a kiosk which sells a very authentic Chinese food in north China—Jianbing,or the Chinese crepe.
The kiosk is branded "Mr.Bing",and is owned by Brian Goldberg,who is born and raised in New York.Goldberg is very involved with Chinese culture.He was a Chinese major back in college in Boston,and studied in China 20 years ago.
"When I went to China,I just love Jianbing so much.It tastes so good.It's hot.It's fresh.It's customizable.They make it how you like it.When I come back to America,I can't find it. So I make it!"said Goldberg.
Goldberg's Jianbing plan is not a whim(突发的想法).It was the theme of his business plan when he was a MBA in Columbia University.As a student,he didn't have enough funds to start.It was until five years ago that he made the first step in Hong Kong.To open the Hong Kong shop,Goldberg spent many weekends flying back and forth from Beijing,Tianjin,and Shandong Province,the origins of Chinese Jianbing.
After tasting tons,he focused on one kiosk in Beijing,Xiaoyan Jianbing,whose chef offered to teach him and his Hong Kong employees the recipe.In Hong Kong,"Mr.Bing" was fairly popular,but Goldberg always thought of going back home.
Two years ago,he moved back to New York and put himself into his Jianbing shop. Selling Jianbing to New Yorkers is surely not the same with selling them to Chinese.To cater to the taste of Americans,Goldberg applied several changes to the recipe after trial and errors.
The Jianbing as you see today at Mr.Bing's is a revised version: fried wonton skin is used to replace dough stick(油条),and a signature Chinese spicy sauce instead of fermented bean curd,and there is meat,which Americans love.
Even with one storefront,Goldberg is selling hundreds of Jianbing each day.He is confident this Chinese snack can be something."Anyway,Americans didn't know much about sushi or burritos(墨西哥玉米面卷饼)back twenty years.But now they are having them all the time."Goldberg said.The great goal of Goldberg is bringing Jianbing to the world and establishing his own signature brand with "Mr.Bing".
33. Which of the following is NOT a possible factor for Americans' love of Chinese Jianbing?
A. It tastes delicious. B. Its price is very cheap.
C. It is hot and fresh. D. It has been improved.
34. The underlined sentence 'It's customizable.' in Paragraph 3 means that .
A. customers can make orders of Jianbing on the Internet
B. customers can make Jianbing by themselves very easily
C. it can be made according to customers' tastes and needs
D. it can be seen distributed among every corner of the USA
35. From Goldberg's experience we can conclude that .
A. he once studied Chinese in Columbia University 20 years ago
B. he takes possession of several storefronts in Hong Kong,China
C. before setting up his business of Jianbing he did market research
D. he has bought the parent of recipe from Chinese Xiaoyan Jianbing
36. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A man's duty of spreading Chinese culture
B. Jianbing of Mr.Bing attracts New Yorkers
C. A kind of traditional Chinese food—Jianbing
D. Chinese snack can be something in the USA

Are you new to experiencing relationships? Well, let me give you advice on having a healthy and possibly long-term relationship.
__16 Do not hide things from them, and do not lie. Don’t be afraid to say things that aren’t very flattering about yourself. Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship. If there's no trust, there's nothing there. So please be honest and they’ll learn to open up to you.
Make sure you give them respect. Now, respect isn't just simply treating them nicely. There’s a lot more to it. You have to learn to adjust to their liking. 17 Don't just think about yourself, but think about what your partners need out of it as well.
____18 Always be willing to help them and give them honesty and positive at the time. Make them feel you are someone they can really count on and build a future with. This is an important step in a relationship. Your partners have to be able to count on you when needed.
Make sure you' have a good sense of humor with them. Laughter is the key to happiness. Laugh a lot with them,and joke with them. Laughter may seem silly, but it's the secret to a lot in life. It will keep the sparks alive. 19
Make sure the communication is good. This goes along with trust, but always communicate how you feel even if it's something that upsets you. Instead of screaming, talk to them. 20 It's important to communicate
this to them, not to keep it bottled up.
A. Show them your personality.
B. Be an honest person with them.
C. Make sure you are encouraging to your partners.
D. Laughter keeps the relationship strong and lasting.
E. Don't start to neglect them and make them feel unwanted.
F. Basically, learn to study your partners’ moods, wants and needs.
G. If they did something that made you unhappy, tell them about it in a respectful manner.
