B As a student，I was most afraid to answer questions in class，and I found that the students around were just like me.At the beginning of each class，when the teacher asked a question，I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me. One day，in a foreign language class，Mr. Black gave us a lesson.He wanted us to be active in class，so he asked us some questions，but no one answered.“Let me tell you a story first，” he said. “When I came to the United States to study，the university often invited famous people to make speeches.Before the beginning of every speech，I found an interesting thing.The students around me always took a cardboard folded (折叠的) in half，wrote their names in bold with the most eye－catching color，and then placed the cardboard on the seat.So when the speaker needed the answers from the students，he could see and call a listener's name directly.” “I couldn't understand that.My classmates told me the speakers were all top people，who meant chances.When your answer was to his surprise，it meant he might give you more chances.In fact，I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.” After listening to the story，I understood that the chance will not find you itself.You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card. 6.

C As a country develops, its people usually enjoy better health care, drink cleaner water, and have more food. Both men and women can expect (望) to live longer. However, people’s lifestyle (生活方式) is changing at the same time. They have busier lives. They eat more processed (加工过的) food or fast food, which has more fat, salt and sugar. They do not walk so much, and some do not do any exercise at all. As a result, the number of people with certain diseases is increasing. Diabetes (糖尿病) is a disease that has become more common. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people with diabetes rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. That was 4.7% of the population in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014. And the number is still rising. In the past, diabetes was more common in rich countries. However, in recent years, the number has been rising more rapidly in low-and-middle-income (中入) countries than in high-income countries. Take China for example. In 1980, less than 1% of the population in China had diabetes. Now more than one in ten Chinese over 18 have the disease. Making China the country with the highest number of diabetes patients in the world. It is possible to control diabetes with medicine, but there is no cure (治愈方法). There are things, however, that people, especially young people, can do to avoid (避免) it. If they are overweight, they should try to lose weight. They should also avoid foods high in fat and sugar. People should exercise often. Besides, they should walk or ride bikes more instead of traveling by car.

Compared with common tasks like copying and translating, most students like creative English homework better. Doing creative homework makes us more interested in English. The most creative English homework that I have done is to learn an English song. We were asked to perform it on New Year’s party. To finish this job, I have to learn an English song by myself. Of course, I did very well in the party. Since then, I have been more confident in English learning. In my opinion it’s also a good choice to draw mind maps. It helps us to have a better understanding of the lessons. Besides, we can make a vlog in English, since most of us have a smart phone. In this way, we can spend less time playing games. I hope we’ll have more creative English homework in the future. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
