Hello, everybody. I'm Olivia. I'm glad to be here this afternoon.Do you have a friend with an interesting background? Today, I'd like to tell you about a(1) (活泼的) girl I'll tell you a bit about her, where she's from, and why we 're good friends.
You know, I didn't use to do much exercise. A few years ago,I joined a (2) (运动)club. On my first day there, I met Raquel. After the gym, we had coffee(3) (一 起 ) and soon became good friends. I think that's because we have a lot in common.We like to keep fit and love to(4) (尝试)different food, especially spicy food. And we love the ocean. In summer, we like to hang out at the(5) ( 海滩)and go surfing at least once a month. Raquel was born in Mexico, but has been here since she was(6) (十) years' old. Her mother is Mexican and her father is American, so she can speak(7) ( 两者都) Spanish and English. That's something different about us. Although I(8) ( 上学,参加) a class last year, my Spanish is still terrible! Another thing that's different is her background. Raquel's from two countries and has experience and(9) ( 知识) of two cultures. I think that's really(10) (酷的).
We might not live in the same city in the future, but I think we'll stay friends.Thanks for listening to me.

Cooking was once regarded as a necessary part of education in England. But in recent years, it has become less important in schools. As a result, (1) (基础的) cooking and food preparation skills are being lost. It is also making more children overweight, as parents use too much fast food that is(2) (有害的) to their health.
The government is worried and is looking for ways to (3) (解决) the problem. A new law has been passed. All secondary schools should offer cooking (4) (课程 ) to students aged from 11 to 14 years old. They hope that this will encourage people to cook instead of eating (5) (准备好的) meals, fast food and snacks.
Students will learn to cook for one hour a (6) (星期) for one term. They will learn to use simple and fresh ingredients(原料) to prepare healthy, tasty food, following (7) (说明). These cooking skills will be helpful in their future life. Schools are also setting up cooking clubs all over the country. The clubs will (8) (提供) more children with the chance to learn to cook.
There are still difficulties. Head teachers are worried about the things they will need for the cooking. And about 15% of schools do not have (9) (厨房) and there are not enough teachers.
The speaker from the government (10) (允诺) to train 800 teachers and to give schools million pounds a year to help children from poorer families to pay for ingredients.
Lydia runs,and picks up rubbish along the way.What she does is called "logging",an activity combining collecting rubbish with running. Last (1) (六月) she first learned the idea of plogging on the Internet and decided to plog.

When I began working at Hillcrest High School three years ago, I was introduced to Sharon Dunn, the school's headmistress.
Her smart appearance and warm, friendly(1) (表情) made me like her at once. She is a small﹣boned, smiling(2) (女士)in her early fifties. She has shining blue eyes and soft(3) (银灰色的)hair. Although she dresses simply,she always manages to look nice.
She is a very fair﹣minded person who(4) (对待)everyone at the school in the same way. Even when she is upset, she is actually very calm, which is shown by her ability to(5) (克制)her feelings in the most difficult situations. Her quiet voice arid gentle,(6) (有礼貌的)manner make her popular with the children.
Ms. Dunn has no children of her (7) (自己的), however, she says that she feels like a mother to all of the children in her school. In fact, she has no time for family life, since she gives her life to her job completely. Besides dealing with different leading(8) (任务) every day, she always takes time to talk to the teachers and parents (9) (耐心地).
To my mind,Sharon Dunn is an educational(10) (专家)who is a wonderful role model, not only for the children but for the teachers, as well.
A group of rubbish collectors in Turkey are recycling the books that people have thrown away.They have(1) (已经)created a mobile library.There are now over 9,000 books,which are divided into 20 kinds,including (2) (医学的)care,politics,literature,history,healthy living and soon.The library is inside a (3) (卡车)that tours schools in the countryside.They hope to create a greater passion(热情)for reading books in children, (4) (尤其)in the age of mobile phones and computers.Many schools do not have a reading room or their (5) (自己的)library.
The library has got lots of attention in Turkey.People from all over Turkey are (6) (送)their old books to the library.A(7) (女士)working at the mobile library said,"The interest is growing.Each day we have guests coming here to (8) (借)books or have a quiet time to read."The director of the library said,"We have books here for kids aged from four to (9) (十),and books for older children,like world classics and (10) (诗).We hope that it will develop their love for books."
Many people go to Utah because they love hiking in Bryce Canyon National Park. They enjoy (1) (岩石) climbing, camping and so on. However, some people go to Utah for a very (2) (不同的) experience.
The Boulder Outdoor Survival(生存) School(BOSS) in Utah is the world's oldest survival school. It teaches people how to stay alive without tents, or even backpacks. In Bryce Canyon, the days are very (3) (热的) and the nights are very cold. Not everyone wants to go and experience life without modern (4) (发明) like smart phones and e﹣books. Students at BOSS quickly learn that it is important to work hard and (5) (尝试) new things if they want to complete the training.
In survival camps at Boss students don' just practise camping, hiking or (6) (骑) horses. They go into the wild for days or weeks. They learn how to find (7) (新鲜的)water for drinking. They also learn how to make a fire, use a (8) (小刀) and find food to eat. Nature can often give them(9) (每件事) they need to survive.
After these people go back to the real world, they may never use these skills again. Even if they don't, at (10) (至少) they will always know that they can live without computers, electricity, and smart phones﹣even if it is only for a few days!
The Chinese high﹣speed railways have a quality all on its own. Tier I(一线) (1)c like Beijing have a couple hundred high﹣speed trains stopping at the city every day.
China's (2) (科技) on building the railway is leading the rest of the world. There is no sign that any (3) country could be better than China in near future. I had my (4)
(第一次) opportunity to ride the high﹣speed trains last week when I had a business meeting in Zhengzhou.
As someone (5)w grew up with a disdain(偏见) for public transportation(not sure why the US hates it so much), I was afraid (6) the experience. I hoped to fly, but was told that it would be much better if I (7) (乘) the train.
The train was amazing. I had traveled on a train before in the US, and hated how (8)s it was and how many stops there were. Chinese high﹣speed trains are on a different level. The trains are clean and the seats are huge. You can't even (9) (感觉) how fast the train is moving. If there were no windows, I wouldn't be (10)a to tell when we were stopped or when we were traveling at 300 km/h﹣it is that smooth.
I'm traveling again this week by train and I'm excited.
