Some people believe that your nationality can influence your personality. This is why you might hear someone saying “She is a typical(典型的) Australian” or “He is so French”. It seems that people from a certain country share certain similar characteristics.
French
French people are often seen as romantic and outgoing people with a great love for life, food and wine. They are good at singing and dancing.
Chinese
Chinese are friendly people who are hard-working. They are polite because they are careful about “saving face” when dealing with other people.
Australians
Australians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.
Germans
Germans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay a lot of attention to details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.
All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet.!

“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?” We often hear such discussion. As China opens its door, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world. It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find a job.
But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.
Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking in an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for the students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at Athens Olympics. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, consider whether studying abroad is the right choice.

1. Studying abroad can help students develop themselves ① It can help improve them      1      skills. ② It may be easy for them to find     2      .

3. Is studying abroad the right choice Different people have different ideas. In fact, whether they succeed or not depends on their      6     .

Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you want to do your homework right after school, you may want to eat something before getting to work. ①Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don’t wait until very late in the evening, or your homework will seem much harder than it really is.
If you have more than an hour’s work，you should give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand，② you should work at least half an hour a time without stopping.
Don’t put it off（推迟）until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework，you will have it on your mind，and you won’t enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until night before a test，you will have too much catching up to do. A little each night, enough to keep up with（跟上）what is happening each day in school，will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it.
Do your homework at the same time every day. This will help you make it a habit. It will make part of your daily work easier to do，and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well.
改写①句使句意不变。
_________ you get too tired, you should _______  doing your homework.
What will happen if you put off your homework until the last minute?

There are many advantages of becoming a professional musician. The biggest advantage is being able to do something you love. You will have the chance to travel to many different places and meet a lot of different people. That will open up your eyes.
However, there are also disadvantages of being a professional musician. One of the biggest disadvantages for most musicians is that they don’t always have enough money. Most of the time, you will be looking for jobs. Sometimes you won’t be able to find a good job. Another disadvantage is the place you live in. If you want to be a musician, you usually have to move to an area that has a lot of jobs, such as New York City. The cost of living in these areas is usually very high. The third disadvantage is that you can’t have a stable (不稳定的) family life. Different jobs will take a musician to different places, so most musicians are unable to have a regular (正常的) family.

China has the world’s largest population and there are also a lot of poor people. So the government uses a different way from the UN to tell how many of her people live in poverty(贫困). Chinese living on less than 637 yuan a year are in terrible poverty. Those who live on less than 882 yuan are in the low income (低收入) group.
In 1978, 250 million Chinese lived in extreme(极端) poverty. Today, 29 million, or 3 percent of the population, are still very poor. Most are farmers from Central (中部的)  and Western China.
Since 1980, the government has spent more than 102 billion yuan building roads and giving clean water to poor people.
To make life better for them, the government also plans to put 12 billion yuan into helping the poor this year.
The government also plans to help farmers find jobs in cities by teaching them new skills (技能).

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure(冒险)---those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky(冒险的) activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds. I would consider bungee(蹦极) jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place(perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 meters above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff(悬崖).
For the reasons, some psychologists explain that many people think their life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people’s lives were constantly(持续的) in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle (战争)for survival.
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
Are there many people who are taking part in the dangerous sports?
How many kinds of dangerous sports does the writer refer to?
How long does a bungee jumping usually last?
What do many people think of their life nowadays?
What does the writer tell us in the last two paragraphs?
