Today we make a survey about the popularity of computer games among middle school students. Half of male students in our class like playing computer games very much. Though our teachers and their parents tell them not to play games any more again and again, they play the computer games daily and they don’t go to school. They spend a lot of time playing computer games each time, so they often ask their parents for money or borrow money from their classmates. Some students even use mobile phones to play the games in class. They don’t listen to the teacher carefully and usually forget to do their homework. I think it’s really bad for their lessons.
Playing computer games wastes money and it is also bad for students’ health and study. So I hope those who have got the habit of playing computer games could give it up as soon as possible.

There is an old saying: Like father like son. Here is a story about it.
Once there was a father and a son. They were ill-tempered (坏脾气) and never gave a way to others. One day his father decided to some friends to dinner. He asked his son to buy some meat in town.When the son got what his father wanted, he turned back walked towards the town gate. Just then, a man was coming from outside. The gate wasn’t enough to let two men in and at the same time. But of them would give way to the other. They stood face face inside the gate hour after hour. Waited for a long time, his father was worried, “What shall I do? My son hasn’t returned yet. I can’t wait any .” He wanted to know what was the matter with his son. So he his friends at home and went to town to look for his son.
“You may take the home for my friends. Let me stand here against him ,” he said to his son when he knew what had happened. What do you think of the father? If everyone teaches their children in this way, there will be no peace in the world.
This year, there is something new happening in our school.
It was September 6th, Wang Yang discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was too excited about it for the first two days and she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wang, “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”
Li Yu liked it, too. He said, “Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” It was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss.
“Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups,”said Jason, an English teacher.
However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.
“The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,”added Jason.

It’s spring now. New leaves come out from the tree. Everything begins to turn green. It makes us feel happy.
I watch the apple trees and remember a little story.
A long time ago, there was an apple tree and a little boy. The boy came and around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the , and rest under the shadow (树荫). He loved the tree and the tree loved him. Time went by … The little boy up and no longer played around it. The old tree was very sad. It didn’t know . The boy said, “I am not a kid. I want to play with toys. But I don’t have money.”
“You needn’t about it. Pick all my apples and sell them, you will have money.” After that the boy didn’t come back. Years later, the boy returned and the tree was happy. But its surprise, the boy cut it down to build a house. Many years later the boy returned again. The old tree was happy and said to him “Sorry, my boy. I can’t give you more. The only thing left is my dying roots. But you can sit down and rest here. This is your forever .
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parents. When we were young, we loved playing with them. When we grow up, we them, and only come to them when we need something or are in trouble. No matter what happens, parents will be there and give what they have to make us .
We may say the boy is cruel (冷酷的) to the tree but that’s how we are treating (对待) our parents. Nowadays, many old people feel lonely because their children don’t live with them. We hope all of us try to help those old people and manage to make the old have a happy life.

Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can’t see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forgot to look and listen before they cross the road.
How can we lessen (减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians (行人), it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements(人行道). We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teens(青少年) should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street.
Thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road every year, most of them are ______.
A.children and drivers | B.old people and children |
C.old people and blind people | D.teens and drivers |
To lessen traffic accidents, we shouldn’t ______.
A.run quickly |
B.walk quickly |
C.be sure that the road is clear |
D.look left, look right and look left again |
According to the passage, we know that ______ will be safe.
A.driving too fast | B.running across the road |
C.walking alone the pavements | D.playing in the street |
Why do old people often get hurt or die when they are crossing the road?
A.Because they don’t look and listen. |
B.Because they walk too fast. |
C.Because they are not careful. |
D.Because they can’t see or hear very well. |
What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Never play in the street. |
B.Being safe in the street. |
C.Look and listen before we cross the road |
D..Stop and look both ways before crossing the road. |

What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.
The tree house
Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house.” Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” (根) of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil (土壤) to the home’s temperature.
The Lizard house
Like a lizard (蜥蜴), changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
Meals at home
This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture (建筑风格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
Learning from the past
Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques (古老的技术) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney (烟囱) can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier of hot air to flow out at the chimney.
根据短文内容,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择最佳答案。
What is the best title (标题) of the passage?
A.Green house of the future. |
B.The greener, the better. |
C.How to build green houses. |
D.Changes of the houses. |
We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home .
A.with the root of a leaf. |
B.with the energy from sunlight. |
C.with the soil under the ground |
D.with gardens on its walls. |
What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun?
A.It will take in light. |
B.It will produce energy. |
C.It will turn dark. |
D.It will turn white. |
The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future .
A.will be more delicious. |
B.need more cooks. |
C.cost as much as possible. |
D.will be greener. |
A chimney can be a useful air conditioner but it used to cause .

Last week, we had a discussion about whether we should develop car industry.
March 5th is “Lei Feng Day”. It started fifty years ago. Now half a c has passed. Is the spirit of Lei Feng outdated(过时的)?
Some people have shown us that it’s not. But people have a changed the ways to help others.
Zhao Juan has been a volunteer for 15 years. She still remembers her e at a nursing home several years ago. An old man held her hand and said: “You don’t need to do anything for us. Seeing young people here is all we need.”
Those words made Zhao Juan think: in what w can we help people better? “Every person does something to give out positive energy(正能量). And before we give a helping hand, we should find out what they r want,” Zhao Juan said to the Qilu Evening News.
As well as Zhao Juan, other people have shown their understanding of the spirit of Lei Feng.
This past January, a story called “noodle fever” shocked Zhengzhou, Henan. One kind man, Li Gang, 42, said in his story that he had a s illness and needed a lot of money for an operation. H ,what he asked for wasn’t charity, but for more people to come to eat noodles at his restaurant.
Li Gang’s story spread q . Soon his restaurant was filled with customers every day and he was a to have his operation on Feb. 2nd this year.I this way, people could help Li Gang without hurting his dignity(自尊).
Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking, Although I’m a shy man, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say, then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience won’t, either.
Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin, what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.
Keep your speech not long. The standard (标准的) length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应),the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.
Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.

Lisa是印度一个贫困家庭的孩子。
过去她们家很穷,她没钱上学,只好整天在农场干活,既不会读也不会写。
她多么希望她能上学!有一天,一位UNCIFE的工作人员来到她的村庄,了解了她的情况 后,给她提供了上学的钱。

My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body was. Through the years I would guess that what I thought was the correct answer.
When I was young, I thought sound was very important to us, so I said, “My ears, Mum.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first try, I had contemplated (仔细考虑)the correct answer. So this time I told her, “Mum, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are learning fast, but the answer is not right because there are many people who are blind.”
Over the years, Mother kept asking me the same question and her answer was always, “No, but you are getting cleverer every year, my child.”
Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”
I was surprised when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion(迷惑)on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It shows how you have really lived your life.” I saw her eyes filled with tears(眼泪). She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.”
I asked, “Is it because it holds up your head?”
She answered, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.”
Then and there I knew the most important part of the body is not a selfish one. It is the care to the pain(痛苦) of others. What did his mother use to ask him?________________________________________________
Did he think sound was very important to them when he was young? ______________________
When did his grandpa die? ________________________________________________________
Why is shoulder the most important part of the body? __________________________________
What did his mother want to tell him in the end? ______________________________________
