Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’ll give you a quick introduction to the school before I      you around. Our school is called a “free school”. This means that pupils are free to choose what and how they want to learn.
The school opens at 9 am,      the children can arrive a little late if they like. Most of them are in school by ten.       eight and nine most are in the living room and the kitchen downstairs. This is also a time     children and teachers can work out what they are to do for the day.
Now if you look         the door of that big room, you will see those children busy doing something there. Several children are in the kitchen        Miss Cabell with lunch. The children take        to do this. After lunch it’s someone else’s job to do the washing-up. This job isn’t        and not many of them like to do it.
After lunch the children go on with what they’ve been doing        school is over. On Friday we sometimes take the children to a cinema or a museum. The school is also      every weekend for those children who want to come.

And it brought people much trouble. Young Edison decided to invent it. He didn’t know which material was suited to be a lamp filament(灯丝). He failed and failed and he spent a lot of time on it.

What do we learn from this passage?

Germs（细菌） are everywhere. You can’t see them, but they are on your desk, on your computer, and even in the air! Like people, germs move around the world. They fly with us on planes. When food, clothes, and other things travel around the world, germs travel, too. Some germs are safe, but some are dangerous. Germs cause illnesses like colds and the flu.

Warmer Weather Brings Germs
The world’s weather is changing. Cooler countries are getting warmer, so insects from hot countries can move there. Some of these insects, like mosquitoes, carry dangerous germs. These germs cause headaches,  fever, and can even kill people.
Under Your Skin
Your skin protects you from germs. It stops some germs, but not all. They can enter your body when you eat, or when you have a cut. Germs are on your hands, too. They enter your body when you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Fighting Germs
Your immune system protects you, too. When germs get inside your body, your immune system finds and kills them. Special cells(细胞) move around your body and fight germs. They help you stay healthy. Other cells make antibodies. Antibodies help your body find and stop germs. What can you do to fight germs? You should wash your hands with soap and water. Soap kills many germs, and water washes them away.
According to the passage, insects      .
