Dr. Wade is my hero. He saved my life when I could have died. He saved lots of children’ s lives. He worked hard and studied a lot to get the job he has got now. He has done very difficult operations. He has to work almost every day at the hospital. He has studied the heart and got his MD(医学博士)at Queens University. He is a great doctor and he is easy to talk to．
He is willing to take a risk to save someone’s life. He saved my life from a heart attack when I was in hospital. He worked very hard to find out what exactly was wrong with my heart and why it wasn’t working properly.
He went out of his way for someone like me and my parents, because he had to explain to them what was wrong with me and did lots of different tests to find the medicine to cure me. His life has made a difference in the lives of others. I saw him look after many other children in hospital and help them get well. Also, he is always there helping by teaching other doctors about being heart specialists(专家). He works very hard to keep others alive. You can phone him anytime and he will phone you back as soon as possible to see how he can help you.

At present, more and more people are crazy about travelling. Why do people travel? “To see more of the world,” many people would say. But travelling abroad now means much more than that for the growing number of Chinese tourists. Of course it offers us good opportunities to meet people from other countries, learn about their culture and customs.
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), more than 1 billion people travelled to another country in 2012. In 2012, Chinese people travelled abroad 30 percent more than in 2011. The prosperity (繁荣) of the tourism industry can also bring both our country and foreign countries great economic benefits (经济利益). Chinese people usually join large tourist groups and visit several countries in one trip.
Chinese people don’t just travel for sightseeing. The China International Travel Service Company said that all their tour trips sold out a month before Christmas Day. Stores offered discounts (打折) during that time, so shopping in Europe and the United States is popular among Chinese travellers.
In December, China is going through a very cold winter. So many people like to go to some countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant.
The improvement of living standards means more Chinese can travel abroad. But many of them don’t have a sense of public manners. A report by Living Social website in March 2012 even listed Chinese as the world’s second worst tourists.
If you want to change that bad name, remember to avoid the following: littering, spitting, snatching bus seats, line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, talking loudly and smoking in non-smoking areas. Besides, we should learn some necessary manners of foreign countries.
Chinese people travel abroad not to _________.
| A．go shopping | B．see more of the world |

According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, ________.

| D．more than 1 billion Chinese people travelled abroad in 2012 |
Which of the following is NOT true about Chinese people? _________
| A．Chinese people like joining large tourist groups. |
| B．Many Chinese like to go to Southeast Asia in winter for sightseeing. |
| C．More and more Chinese people can travel abroad now. |
| D．Chinese are the second worst tourists in the world. |

| A．litter and spit here and there |
| B．jump the line and take off the shoes in public |

There are some famous buildings that everyone can recognize. When you see a picture of a sports stadium that reminds you of a bird’s nest, you probably know it is the Olympic stadium in Beijing. When you see a picture of a famous concert hall that reminds you of a sailing ship, you probably know it is the Sydney Opera House in Australia. Buildings like these are easily recognized everywhere in the world. They were designed to look like other things if people use their imaginations.
Other buildings do not need any imagination. They are made to look exactly like other things. Sometimes, these buildings are offices, restaurants, or even houses. Three buildings built in this way are actually museums. The shape of the building is clue to the objects people can see inside.
In Guizhou, China, people can visit the Meitan Tea Museum, built in the shape of a giant teapot. There is also a second building next door that is shaped like a huge tea cup. From far away, the nine-story teapot-shaped museum looks like some kinds of giant work of art. But as one gets closer, the windows make it clear that this is a building.
People who are interested in guitars might want to visit the Guitar Museum in Tennessee, USA. The three-story building is shaped like a guitar lying on its side. Inside, visitors can see all kinds of guitars as well as learn about famous guitar players.
One of the newest funny shaped museums is a pottery museum in Gyconggi, Korean museum, built in 2011, is shaped just like a traditional Korean pot, Along with seeing exam pots and tools used for making pots in the museum, visitors can try to make their own pots.

Different weather makes people feel different.It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States.People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month.In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times.People in these states(州) have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence.For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower.The wind can help people have more intelligence.Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower.Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings.Winter may be a bad time for thin people.They usually feel cold during these months.They might feel unhappy during cold weather.But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful(健忘).People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days.People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.
