The people in the stories usually can't agree with each other. They become angry, unhappy, sad and lonely. Sometimes they are frightened（害怕的） and worried. Then they find a way to make peace with each other. Everyone is usually happy in the end. ★Unit 5 (B) Many things around us may affect（影响） our feelings and moods, such as colors, weather, news and environment.

It's normal（正常的）to have these feelings. ★Unit 6 (A) Bicycles are popular. Most people think bicycles are much safer than other vehicles. But sometimes bicycle accidents do happen. They can bring people sadness and death. So bicycle riders must know and obey the safety rules. They must wear helmets（头盔） to protect their heads. When riding at night, they must wear light-colored clothes and have lights in the front and reflectors（反射器） on the back of their bicycles. ★Unit 6 (B) Qinghai Lake, the largest salt-water lake in China, lends its name to the province（省） of Qinghai.

But nowadays, clothes do more than just keep us warm. Clothing can also show people our jobs, our culture, our hobbies and even our moods. For example, when we see a man in a uniform, we can guess his job from the uniform. We get ideas about people from their clothes. As the saying goes, "You are what you wear." ★Unit 8 (B) Fashion is full of culture. The Tang costume stands for Chinese history and fashion culture.

Try to smile at life when you are in trouble and then you will soon be happy again. ★期末（B） In every country people use bicycles for work, for sport or just for fun. Bicycle riding is good exercise.

Bicycles share the road with cars and trucks. So bicycle riders must pay attention to the traffic around them. ★期末（C） Have you ever walked into a room and felt relaxed? It could be because the walls were painted blue. Blue is a calm color. It brings peace to our mind and body.

Many women like to wear white on their wedding day（婚礼）. ★进阶训练 ★（1） Everybody knows the famous building—the Eiffel Tower（埃菲尔铁塔）, which was built in Paris, France, in 1889. Today the Eiffel Tower is visited by thousands of visitors every year, but it wasn't always so popular. When it was finished, many people thought it was ugly. One famous writer used to have lunch in the Eiffel Tower every day because it was the only place in Paris where he could not see the tower. ★（2） Barack Obama is the 44th president（总统） of the United States. He was born on August 4th, 1961. Obama has a very healthy lifestyle（生活方式）. He is always busy and works about 10 hours a day. But he still spends some time doing exercise. At about 7:30 every morning he goes to a gym. He does exercise there for about 90 minutes every day. He says that doing exercise makes him young and healthy. ★（3） We live in the computer age. People use computers to do much of their work. But few people know how to look after them. Remember the following when you use your computer: first, keep your computer in a cool and dry room; second, do not let people smoke（抽烟） near your computer; third, do not eat or drink near your computer; fourth, keep your screen（屏幕） clean and do not have it too bright. ★（4） Everyone wants to live a happy life. Everyone talks about happiness. But what makes us feel really happy? What can we get from happiness? Well, researchers（研究人员） from a university in New York found that people who are happy and positive about life live longer. A happy man can be much healthier, too. Researchers also found that eating a family meal at least three times a week is the key to happiness. ★（5） More than 30 years ago, computers were very big and expensive. Very few people knew how to use them. But today computers are smaller and cheaper. Many people like to use them. For example, writers use computers to write. Teachers use them to teach in class. Students use them to study at home. Computers can also remember what you put into them. Anyway, they are very useful and helpful. ★（6） Every year, tens of thousands of Chinese middle school students go to foreign countries for further education. The popular countries are America, Britain, Australia, Japan and Canada. Studying abroad（国外） at a young age can help students learn foreign languages quickly and it can enrich（丰富） their minds. However, the life in foreign countries can also be a big challenge（挑战） for them. So students should be well prepared if they decide to study abroad. ★（7） Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was dirty and people were poor. There were lots of thieves（小偷） in the streets. The government（政府） started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called "Bow Street Runners" at that time. ★（8） Do you dream a lot during the night? Scientists have found that dreaming too much can be harmful（有害的）. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. When we dream, our mind can't get enough rest. That's why we may have a long sleep but still wake up tired. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling. But often we can't remember the dream. Dreams can disappear（消失） quickly from memory（记忆）. ★（9） English is very popular. If you know English, you can watch American cartoons, you can read interesting books written in English and you can do many other interesting things. We should try our best to learn it well. You may have some trouble in learning grammar. Don't worry. Just find out your weak points and work hard. And remember that the best way to learn English well is to use it. ★（10） When you visit a foreign country, it's important to know how to ask for help politely（礼貌地）. For example, you may ask "Where are the restrooms?" or "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" Both of them are correct, but the first one sounds less polite. It's not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help. ★（11） Each country has many kind people who volunteer to take care of others. For example, some high school and university students in the US often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals or old people's homes. They read books for the people or they just visit them and play games with them. Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others. ★（12） Eye contact（接触） is a very important part of body language. It can show feelings such as friendliness, interest and understanding. In Western countries, using eye contact is very important. If you don't use eye contact, Westerners may think that you are not listening. Not using eye contact can cause problems, but using too much is not polite either. In many countries, watching other people, especially strangers（陌生人）, for a long time is impolite. ★（13） Cormorants are large, black birds, which are good at catching fish. They are able to dive（潜水） down 25 meters, and stay under water for up to two minutes. Cormorant fishing is a traditional Chinese skill, probably more than a thousand years old. It was once practised in Southeast China. But today, few young people have interest in it. In 50 years, perhaps there' ll be no more cormorant fishermen in the world. ★（14） Today I'd like to introduce two cartoon characters to you. The first one is Hello Kitty. She likes to eat cakes. She loves to make new friends. She often asks friends to her tea parties. She is nice and will always help you. The second one is Snoopy. He began to go to school when he was nine. He thinks a lot.

Forth, you have to make lots of detailed drawings using these sketches as models. ★（16） Monkeys look like humans. They use their hands and feet to hold things and climb trees. Monkeys can't live without trees and forests, because their food is fruit and there are lots of fruits in forests. Monkeys usually sleep in trees. They live in groups. Each group has a head monkey. When there is danger, the head monkey will jump out to keep the other monkeys safe. ★（17） Having a dog as part of the family can be really great. There are so many good things about having a dog. For example, dogs are very faithful（忠诚的） and they can be people's wonderful friends. They can get you out of the house more often to do exercise. And you are never lonely if you have a dog. Having a dog can also help you become more responsible（负责任的）. ★（18） China sent the first woman astronaut（宇航员） into space（太空） in 2012. From that moment, a 34-year-old woman named Liu Yang started to be known to people all over the world. "Liu Yang is very hard-working and she is always putting her heart into her job. We all believe （相信）that she could make a difference because she is good at getting over different kinds of difficulties," her uncle said. ★（19） Science and technology are developing very quickly. Life in the future will be very different from what it is today. Many changes will take place, but what will the changes be? People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and traveling. Traveling will be much easier and cheaper. And more people will go to other countries for holidays. ★（20） It's important to exercise your brain（大脑）. For example, you can do new things and change your daily habits（习惯）. If you walk a different way to school or take a different bus, you will keep you brain active. You can try to memorize（记忆） something new. You can also try to learn new skills（技能） or study a foreign language（外语）. Your brain gets lots of regular exercise if you do any of these things. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
