Have you ever heard of the word "kidult"?It means an adult who buys children's toys to play with.
Take Anna Jones for example.This 23-year-old woman travelled all the way from London to New York just to
buy an unusual soft toy.Although she already had 35 of them,she wanted to collect more.She said,"1"
In the past,people would stop playing with toys once they grew up.But things are different now
製
2 In fact,most soft toy buyers are between the ages of 18 and 24.
3 However,Professor Joshua Dale doesn't think so.He says cute toys can make adults happy.
封
Kidults love them because they want to feel less worried."It's hard to feel happy today with so much
内

going on in the world,”Dale says..“If you look at cute toys,though,they might cheer you up(使你高兴起
来).4”
题
This doesn't say that young people are childish(幼稚的),either..“There is a difference between
childish'and childlike',"Dale explains."5 But being childlike means having a feeling of
interest and wonder,wanting to learn new things.These are good qualities.Bringing childlike things into
your daily life as an adult can be good for you."
A.Each one is special to me.
B.They are like friends that help with your feelings.
C.It's quite normal for young adults to have soft toys.
D.Being childish itself is bad for everyone,even children
E.Some people think this means young people are afraid of growing up.

When travelling in France or communicating with people from France,you may find some cultural
habits quite different from those in China.1 These differences can be seen in daily interactions(
)and life.They are worth learning about to avoid misunderstandings.
Greetings are the first step of communication,and there are big differences between China and
France.In China,we usually greet others with "Have you eaten?"or"Where are you going?"to show
恩
kindness.But French people don't use such greetings at all.2 For close friends or family,they may
烂
kiss each other on the cheek,but this is not common for strangers.
Mealtime culture is another important part of cultural differences.In China,hosts often prepare a lot
of dishes and keep asking guests to eat more to show hospitality ()In France,hosts seldom push
guests to eat more during meals.3 Also,it's impolite to put your elbows on the table while eating in
France,but many Chinese people don't pay much attention to this detail.

Besides,gift-giving habits are also different.When Chinese people give gifts,they often use red
envelopes()or beautiful boxes.4 They think expensive gifts may make others feel pressured.
A small bunch of flowers or a box of chocolates is a good choice.
5 Understanding and respecting these cultural differences helps us build better relationships
with people from different countries.
A.They like to say“Bonjour”"or“Bonsoir”and shake hands lightly.
B.Cultural differences are not a block but a bridge to know each other well.
C.However,French people prefer simple and practical gifts
D.It's not just about language,but more about daily habits and customs.
E.They pay more attention to the quality of food and the atmosphere()of the meal.

One of my favourite great books is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,by Mark Twain.1 It tells
some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures.
Tom,the hero of the book,lives with his aunt.2 He does not like people telling him what to do,
so he always gets into trouble.He and his best friend,Huck Finn,run away to an island in the middle of
the Mississippi River.Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for him.
Later,Tom runs away with another friend,Becky.He also finds Injun Joe's treasure box and takes it away.
3 At first,they are happy.But when they hear that everyone thinks they are dead,they feel very
sorry,so they come back home.They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours
coming to their funeral().Then,Tom and Huck suddenly appear.Everyone is surprised to see them
at first,but very pleased to find that they are alive.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book.It is more than an adventure story.Mark Twain wrote
it in 1876.4 It tells how young people grow,how people love each other and how bad people pay for
their actions.5 Today people all over the world still read and love the book.Of course,it is one of
the greatest American stories.
A.He is a lively,brave(勇敢的)and clever boy.
B.The story is set in a town in the US in the 19th century.
C.It describes people's lives in the southern states of America at that time.
D.My favourite part is when Tom and Huck start their adventures on the island.
E.It is also written in everyday English and the conversations sound especially real.

Is the summer vacation long enough to turn life for the better?1 Find something you care
about,and you will see the difference.
2 People often throw litter in the place where there is already litter.This leaves the community
in a mess.The environment will become better if someone volunteers to help.You could pick up the
rubbish with your friends once a week in your neighbourhood.You could also help take care of the plants
every few days.
Show your love to the old.Our city has some old people's homes.Without children around them,the
old people there might feel lonely once in a while.Maybe they need your help.In fact,you can do a lot for
them.3 Listening to them carefully is also a good idea.No matter what small things you do,you can
make them feel loved.
Set up a reading project()with your friends.Share your favourite books with them.Besides,
you may read aloud to each other and talk about what you read.Either a book or an article can spark a
lively discussion()and inspire your further thinking.The process often challenges more people to
take action.The project is also a good way to welcome newcomers.4
5 But if you make good use of it,it's enough to make a difference.
A.Organize a clean-up program.
B.A two-month summer vacation isn't that long.
C.Every person has his own talents and interests.
D.For example,you can talk with them or play games with them.
E.At the same time,you may find new friends with similar hobbies.

Have you ever heard of an avalanche ()1 During an avalanche,a lot of snow and ice
rush down the mountain.As they rush,the snow and ice move faster and faster.In fact,snow from
an avalanche can move as fast as two hundred miles an hour.2
Most avalanches happen after big storms.In the mountains like the Alps and the Himalayas,there is
snow and ice all year round.3 It can make the old snow rush down.
4 Heavy snow moving down the mountains may pull trees and rocks along.That can cause great
弥
damage(),such as pushing down houses and killing people.Luckily,few people live in the parts of the
mountains where avalanches are most likely to happen.So not many people die from avalanches each year.
Most people who may lose their lives in avalanches are ski lovers.5 Scientists can usually tell
whether an avalanche might happen or not.If you are a ski lover,remember to pay attention to scientists'
封
warnings before you go skiing.
A.Avalanches are very dangerous.
