Your body is special﹣no two people in the world are alike，Although you are different from everyone else，you have exactly the same body parts as the people around you，doing different jobs that keep all of us alive．
What is inside my head？
Your head houses the most valuable part of your body﹣your brain．As you are reading，your eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning from what you see．Your brain helps you to remember and think，and makes sure your body is doing what it should．
What is my skin（皮肤） for？
Your skin covers your body．In most parts of your body，the skin is just as thick as half a centimeter．If you have your skin cut，it will have a quick cure and stop viruses from getting into your body．Your skin also helps you feel the heat and coldness of the environment around you．Hair grows from inside the skin．When you feel hot，extra heat comes out through your skin．As a result，your body temperature drops．
How do I move？
Muscles（肌肉） are found in most parts of your body．They work with your bones to help you move﹣whenever you cry or smile，eat or speak，walk or dance，etc．
Why do I breathe？
Your body needs to take in oxygen from the air and give out the unwanted carbon dioxide in the body．When you breathe，air comes through your nose and mouth into your lungs（肺） where oxygen flows to different parts of your body．
What makes me sneeze？
When dust or a strong smell gets into your nose，you sneeze．This is the way your body cleans up the dust in your nose．Your lungs push out the air and try to clear your nose．
What does my heart do？
Your heart is a very special muscle．It is slightly bigger than your fist （拳头） and grows bigger as you do．If you place your hand on your heart，you will feel your heart beating which forces blood to move around your body．

Tony and Jane give their opinions about keeping pet dogs.
| Keeping pet dogs is a good idea, says Tony I think people should be allowed to keep pet dogs. There are lots of reasons for this. First, dogs are really cute. It’s nice to pick them up and hold them in our arms, and it’s wonderful to see them growing up quickly. Second, your dog might not be dangerous but by simply barking(吠)he can keep away a burglar(窃贼)who might think of entering your house. Finally, we can also learn about life and death from dogs. Young people can learn how to care for others and how to respect(尊重)all living things by keeping a pet dog. I think keeping pet dogs is something everyone can enjoy. |
Keeping pet dogs is not a good idea, say Jane In my opinion, it is never a good idea to keep a pet dog. Firstly, pet dogs creates a lot of mess. They leave fur(毛) and hair on the floor, on beds and on sofas, and they need to be washed daily. Secondly, we should remember that not all dogs are friendly. Some dogs bark at people they do not know. A few dogs bark all night. This stops their neighbors from getting any sleep. A small number of pet dogs even bite(咬) people. Lastly, you have to make sure pet dogs are in good health and provided with good pet products. Paying for dog food and visiting the vet when dogs are ill can be expensive. I believe that people should not keep pet dogs. |
Tony would probably think it____ to put pet dogs on beds.
A. uncomfortable B. acceptable C. dangerousThe underlined word “they” in the passage refers to(指) “ ____”.
A. beds B. sofas C. pet dogsFrom the underlined part, we can guess “vet” means“ ____”.
A. 兽医 B. 宠物店 C. 驯兽师Tony and Jane disagree on ____.
A. the growth of pets
B. the sound made by dogs
C. the money paid for pets It can be learned from the passage that ____.
A. people are not allowed to keep pet dogs
B. people are encouraged to keep pet dogs
C. opinions are divided on keeping pet dogs
Peking Opera(Beijing Opera), is one of the most ancient forms of drama in the world. The roles in it were Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, Chou, Wuhang, and Longtao during its early age. But with the development of Peking Opera, there are four main roles in it today: Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou.
Sheng——Men Roles
