(在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) “You pretty, he ugly. You swan, he frog!” Foreign people just love this funny English sentence going around the Chinese Internet. It all started when a foreign girl named Kris posted a sad photo online. It looked like her boyfriend made her c 1 . Some nice Chinese people tried to cheer her up. They asked her to find someone better. Some made funny Chinglish to make her feel happy, such as “You swan, he frog.” This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures with it. “I need Chinese friends in my life who call the people that have hurt me frogs,” said a foreign internet user, showing her love for the expression. Some of them wanted to know why Chinese people use “swan” and “frog” to d 2 this couple. After looking into it, they learned that it came from the famous old Chinese story of the beautiful swan and the ugly toad, and got interested in the Chinese stories behind Chinglish. In the past, people often corrected those who spoke Chinglish b 3 it was full of grammar mistakes. However, with globalization (全球化), people from different countries can now share their ideas more often. Different styles of speaking English are becoming common and even accepted. English with local touches can also be popular. For example, the well-known “add oil” has now appeared in the Oxford dictionary and people use it widely. The phrase shows Chinese culture. “Once I understood the full m 4 , it became much funnier,” said Cody, a young man from New Zealand, when asked about “you swan, he frog”. “It’s great that more Chinese culture is being shared with the rest of the world,” he told China Daily. Another example is phrase “good good study, day day up.” It’s a d 5 translation from Chinese and isn’t grammatically correct. But it’s becoming a popular motivational saying worldwide, used on products and social media. It shows Chinese values in a unique way. This teaches us that communication is about understanding and sharing our culture not just perfect grammar. As the world gets more connected, English isn’t just for native speakers any more. Phrases like “You swan,” “ add oil.” and “day day up” bring Chinese ideas into global languages. They turn language mistakes into culture bridges.

(在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) “You pretty, he ugly. You swan, he frog!” Foreign people just love this funny English sentence going around the Chinese Internet. It all started when a foreign girl named Kris posted a sad photo online. It looked like her boyfriend made her c 1 . Some nice Chinese people tried to cheer her up. They asked her to find someone better. Some made funny Chinglish to make her feel happy, such as “You swan, he frog.” This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures with it. “I need Chinese friends in my life who call the people that have hurt me frogs,” said a foreign internet user, showing her love for the expression. Some of them wanted to know why Chinese people use “swan” and “frog” to d 2 this couple. After looking into it, they learned that it came from the famous old Chinese story of the beautiful swan and the ugly toad, and got interested in the Chinese stories behind Chinglish. In the past, people often corrected those who spoke Chinglish b 3 it was full of grammar mistakes. However, with globalization (全球化), people from different countries can now share their ideas more often. Different styles of speaking English are becoming common and even accepted. English with local touches can also be popular. For example, the well-known “add oil” has now appeared in the Oxford dictionary and people use it widely. The phrase shows Chinese culture. “Once I understood the full m 4 , it became much funnier,” said Cody, a young man from New Zealand, when asked about “you swan, he frog”. “It’s great that more Chinese culture is being shared with the rest of the world,” he told China Daily. Another example is phrase “good good study, day day up.” It’s a d 5 translation from Chinese and isn’t grammatically correct. But it’s becoming a popular motivational saying worldwide, used on products and social media. It shows Chinese values in a unique way. This teaches us that communication is about understanding and sharing our culture not just perfect grammar. As the world gets more connected, English isn’t just for native speakers any more. Phrases like “You swan,” “ add oil.” and “day day up” bring Chinese ideas into global languages. They turn language mistakes into culture bridges.

I spent 30 days with 40 campers from both China and America. From the moment I arrived, I noticed some big differences. For one, Americans are very direct and open in their communication. During our first group activity, everyone introduced themselves enthusiastically and shared personal stories. At f 1 , I felt a bit shy. However, I soon found their openness refreshing and started to share more about m 2 . M 3 were another interesting experience. In China, we usually have rice or noodles, but at camp, we often have sandwiches, salads and cold drinks. It took some time getting used to it, but I enjoyed trying new foods like tacos. My fellow campers were c 4 about Chinese cuisine and I had fun explaining our dishes and even teaching them how to use chopsticks. One of the biggest challenges was adjusting to a relaxed attitude towards time. In China, we are very punctual and schedules are strictly followed. At camp, activities were more flexible and it was common for events to start a bit l 5 . This initially frustrated me, but I gradually learned to relax and go with the flow. Despite these differences, I made many new friends and learned a lot about American c 6 . This summer camp taught me the importance of being open-minded. It was an unforgettable experience that gave me a deeper appreciation for different cultures. 三、U3单元话题预测 Last weekend, our community organized a c 1 show to raise money for homeless animals.

Luckily, a nurse c 5 her down with kind words and called an ambulance immediately. The audience praised her for acting effectively under pressure. Afterwards, we discussed how to prevent such situations.

From goldfish having a three-second memory to snakes being charmed by music, there are many w 1 ideas about animal behaviours. This myth about ostriches is one of them. T 2 to their excellent eyesight, ostriches often spot a predator, such as a cheetah or lion, before it sees them. In response, the birds may lie down on the ground to a 3 like a large rock. They don’t stick their heads into the ground. though. If they are spotted, Ostriches have a much better way of escaping danger: running very fast in the opposite direction. Although these birds lack airborne ability (飞行能力), they are made up with super speed — they are the world’s fastest two-legged animal, capable of reaching speeds of up to 70kph. In addition, if they are a 4 , they can also use their large and powerful legs to protect themselves. But where did the head-burying myth come from? Well, it’s all about misunderstanding. Ostriches do dig into the sand, but they dig to create nests. S 5 they cannot fly and nest in trees like other birds, the males use their beaks (喙) to create a hole in the ground. This nest-building behaviour might look like they’re burying their heads, but they’re just setting up a cozy home for their eggs. It’s always fun to learn about the f 6 about our amazing animal friends! So, next time you hear someone talking about an ostrich burying its head in the sand, you know it’s not because they are timid or afraid. 六、U6单元话题预测 Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给） How to care for your tree Water the newly planted tree.
