Dear Lucy，
How are you？ It has been a month since my family left Hong Kong for England and we are fine．
England is very different from Hong Kong． The weather is terrible and it rains a lot． The buildings are funny． They are in rows and not high． I love them because the rooms are much larger． I'm having a wonderful at my new school and my new home!
Mum and Dad are happy with their new jobs． But my brother Jack doesn't like moving to England because he misses his friends so much．
I've made lots of new friends at school． My teachers are really nice too and my English has improved a lot． After school， we can take part in relaxing activities such as sport， watching films or playing computer games． There's a park near the school where I often go with the other students at the weekend．
We are travelling back to Hong Kong for the summer holiday． I will visit you and bring you a present!
Write back soon!
Love
Sandy

You must have seen ads on TV about hair care products （护发用品）. The models have shining hair like jewels （珠宝）. But now to make hair shine is no longer the task of hair care products, because hair can be made into real jewels. Believe it or not, a company called LifeGem in the US turns hair into jewels.

His collection also includes hair of Napoleon, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. In total, the collection is worth over 5 million dollars.

Can you imagine astronauts' everyday life in space? They also need to eat, sleep, exercise and relax. They do the same things as us, but they do them differently.
On Earth, we put food on a plate. Gravity holds the food down and keeps it on a place. But there is almost no gravity in space, so food can float （漂浮）away, and astronauts must eat carefully.
Sleeping is very different in space. Some astronauts like to float in the air, but most like to be in a sleeping bag. They tie the bag to a wall so that they won't float away at night.
Exercise is very important in space. On Earth, your legs carry your body, but in space, astronauts float, so they do not use their legs often. This is very bad for their legs, so they must exercise for thirty minutes every day.
After a day's work, astronauts relax. They may listen to music, read, watch films, play games, or talk to their friends and families on the radio. Sometimes they just enjoy floating in the air.What does the underlined word "gravity" mean in Chinese?
| A．平衡 | B．引力 | C．磁性 | D．重力 |
Why do astronauts tie the sleeping bag to a wall?
| A．Because in that way they won't float away. |
| B．Because that makes them sleep well. |
| C．Because they can't get to sleep if they don't do that. |
| D．Because the sleeping bag is not safe enough. |
What's the main idea of the passage?
| A．It is about the importance of gravity. |
| B．It is about astronauts' everyday life in space. |
| C．It is about the differences between space and Earth. |
| D．It is about how to avoid （避免） floating away while sleeping. |
