After playing football, we jumped high. Then we rode our bikes. Finally I came home for dinner. After I washed my hands, my mum said, “Thanks for exercising.” What was she talking about?

I enjoy reading books very much, because there are lots of interesting things in them. I like reading stories and picture books very much. I also like reading some science books. When I was young, I didn’t like reading very much. I had plenty of time, but I spent lots of time playing computer games. At that time, I didn’t think reading books was interesting, because I found nothing more interesting than computer games. At the age of ten, I met my Chinese teacher. She gave me a lot of interesting books and asked me to read them, then I had to tell her the stories in these books. So I had to read them carefully. Little by little, I enjoyed reading books.

The children had a nurse because the neighbours’ children had nurses, and Mr Darling wanted to be like his neighbours. But the family was poor, so their nurse wasn’t like the other children’s nurses.

Do they think that the Darlings are a strange family because the children’s nurse is a dog?” He also thought that Nana didn’t like him.

Sometimes Mr and Mrs Darling and their children all danced around the sitting room together. What a lovely time they had! But then, Peter Pan arrived!

I was the only one who couldn’t keep pace (节奏) with the other players. Our teacher, Angie, singled me out to keep practising while everyone else started to relax. I felt ashamed (羞愧的) as my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally, I got so tired of practising that I didn’t care about doing it right. “Are you giving up on me, Steve?” Angie asked. “Yes, I am,” I shouted. Angie sent me inside the music room, and I cried out. Then Angie came in and said, “Don’t be sad. I believe you can make it!” She told me not to give up. She left me alone and I realized Angie was right—by giving up, I was also giving up on the team and myself. With her comfort (安慰), I decided to go on practising. However, I still couldn’t play very well. Knowing my difficulties, my teammates gave me a hand. They spent more hours practising with me every week. Thanks to their support and help, I began to keep pace with them. Later, we performed wonderfully in an important show. After that, I learned that although we each had our own task to do in a show, all of us needed to work together to make the show a success. I felt accepted and made great progress.

I don’t like to exercise but I like to play. I really like to play football. Yesterday my mum told me that I had to exercise. I told her “No!” Then, I went out to play football with my friend Sam. After playing football, we jumped high. Then we rode our bikes. Finally I came home for dinner. After I washed my hands, my mum said, “Thanks for exercising.” What was she talking about? I didn’t exercise. I just played with a friend! Right? In fact, I did both. My active playtime with Sam has been great exercise at the same time. Exercising does not have to be boring. Some people think that you can only exercise at a gym. That is not true. Running after a flying ball, and playing football with your friends are both ways to exercise. Why not jump? You could also ride your bike. These are all great ways to exercise too. Please remember exercise is really just another word for “active fun”!

They have two daughters: 11-year-old Amy and 9-year-old Ella. The whole family became famous in the town soon because they completed one hundred different outdoor activities within one year. Tim and Kerry didn’t want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become couch potatoes. So about one year ago, they set one hundred outdoor tasks for the two girls to do, such as hiking, sailing (航行), climbing and skiing. Although Tim and Kerry were not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities actively. It turned out that the two little girls not only had a great time but also learned a lot of skills from the activities. “Our friends spend a lot of their free time playing with electronic products (电子产品). Luckily, we have the chance to do something different,” Amy and Ella said proudly. They also helped their parents make a new list of tasks for the next twelve months together. 1.

I enjoy reading books very much, because there are lots of interesting things in them. I like reading stories and picture books very much. I also like reading some science books. When I was young, I didn’t like reading very much. I had plenty of time, but I spent lots of time playing computer games. At that time, I didn’t think reading books was interesting, because I found nothing more interesting than computer games. At the age of ten, I met my Chinese teacher. She gave me a lot of interesting books and asked me to read them, then I had to tell her the stories in these books. So I had to read them carefully. Little by little, I enjoyed reading books. Now I’ve changed and I enjoy reading novels. Recently I love to read Harry Potter. It’s very interesting. I always lose myself in the interesting books. 1.

It was a little house on a quiet street in London, with ivy climbing up the walls and a small garden where Mrs Darling grew roses and Michael liked to catch butterflies. The children had a nurse because the neighbours’ children had nurses, and Mr Darling wanted to be like his neighbours. But the family was poor, so their nurse wasn’t like the other children’s nurses. She was a big dog and her name was Nana. Nana put the children to bed every evening and she looked after them if they cried at night. Her kennel (狗窝) was in the children’s bedroom, just next to their beds. Nana was a good nurse, but Mr Darling was a bit worried about the neighbours. Sometimes he thought, “What do they think of me? Do they think that the Darlings are a strange family because the children’s nurse is a dog?” He also thought that Nana didn’t like him. But Mrs Darling always said, “Nana loves you very much, George.” The Darling family was a very happy family. Sometimes Mr and Mrs Darling and their children all danced around the sitting room together. What a lovely time they had! But then, Peter Pan arrived! One morning, Mrs Darling found some leaves on the bedroom floor. She was surprised because it was a strange place to find leaves. When Wendy saw them, she smiled and said, “Oh! It’s Peter again!

At first, it was easy and I felt really happy, but a month later it got difficult. I was the only one who couldn’t keep pace (节奏) with the other players. Our teacher, Angie, singled me out to keep practising while everyone else started to relax. I felt ashamed (羞愧的) as my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally, I got so tired of practising that I didn’t care about doing it right. “Are you giving up on me, Steve?” Angie asked. “Yes, I am,” I shouted. Angie sent me inside the music room, and I cried out. Then Angie came in and said, “Don’t be sad. I believe you can make it!” She told me not to give up. She left me alone and I realized Angie was right—by giving up, I was also giving up on the team and myself. With her comfort (安慰), I decided to go on practising. However, I still couldn’t play very well. Knowing my difficulties, my teammates gave me a hand. They spent more hours practising with me every week. Thanks to their support and help, I began to keep pace with them. Later, we performed wonderfully in an important show. After that, I learned that although we each had our own task to do in a show, all of us needed to work together to make the show a success. I felt accepted and made great progress. I love everyone in the band. I can’t imagine what my school life will be like without them. 1. How did Steve feel about playing the drums after he was in the band for one month? A．Funny. B．Helpful. C．Hard. D．Noisy. 2. What did Steve decide to do after Angie talked to him? A．He decided to have a good rest. B．He decided to go on practising. C．He decided to give up on her. D．He decided to start another band. 3. What did Steve’s teammates do when he couldn’t play well? A．They helped him practise. B．They laughed at him. C．They told him to give up.
