Did Jane have a good time on Monday？What about on Tuesday?

Monday，July 15th

I arrived in Penang in Malaysia this morning with my family.①

It was sunny and hot，so we decided to go to the beach near our hotel.②

My sister and I tried paragliding.③

I felt like I was a bird.It was so exciting！For lunch，we had something very special-Malaysian yellow noodles.They were delicious！In the afternoon，we rode bicycles to Georgetown.④

There are a lot of new buildings now，but many of the old buildings are still there.In Weld Quay，a really old place in Georgetown，we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago.⑤

I wonder what life was like here in the past.I really enjoyed walking around the town.

When people say “culture”，we think of art and history.①But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon.We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears—Mickey Mouse.②Over 80 years ago，he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie.③When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18,1928，it was the first cartoon with sound and music.The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney.④He became very rich and successful.In the 1930s，he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.

Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular.One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man，but he always tried to face any danger.⑤In his early films，Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend，Minnie.⑥However，he was always ready to try his best.People went to the cinema to see the “l(fā)ittle man” win.Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.

On November 18,1978，Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.People today expect to see more than just a little mouse fighting bad guys，but many still know

resolutions have to do with

Do You Think You Will Have Your Own Robot?

When we watch movies about the future，we sometimes see robots.They are usually just like human

servants.①They

help with the

housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.

②Today there are already robots working in factories.③For example，

they can help to build cars，and they do simple jobs over and over again.Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring，but robots will never get bored.

④Some

scientists believe that there will be more robots in the

future.⑤However，they agree it may take hundreds of years.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as us.Some robots in Japan can even walk and dance.These kinds of robots are fun to watch.

But scientist James White thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the same things as a person.For example，it's easy for children to wake up and know where they are.⑥Mr.White thinks that robots won't be able to 精選

Thanksgiving in the United States

①In most countries，people usually eat traditional food on special holidays.A special day in the United States is Thanksgiving.There are many reasons for this special day.For some people，it is a time to give thanks for food in the autumn.So it is always on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States.At this time，people also remember the first travelers from England who came to live in America about 500 years ago.②These travelers had a long，hard winter，and many of them died.In the next autumn，they gave thanks for life and food in their new home.③These days，most Americans still celebrate this idea of giving thanks by having a big meal at home with their family.The main dish of this meal is almost always turkey，a large bird.

Hi David，

What a great idea！I really like Ms.Steen a lot.She helped me to improve my English so much.I'm sad to see her go，and this party is the best way to say “Thank you and goodbye.” I can help to buy some of the food and drinks.I can also help to bring Ms.Steen to the party.I already have a great idea about how to do that.

He Wei Hi David，

Thanks so much for planning this.I'd love to come to the party，but I'm not available.①My family is taking a trip to Wuhan at the end of this month to visit my aunt and uncle.However，I'd still be glad to help out with any of the party preparations，like planning the games.Let me know if you need my help.

Jeff：OK.For the games，do you think we should give people some small gifts if they win?

Ben：I think that's a great idea！If we do that，more people will want to play the games.

Jeff：Yes，the games will be more exciting，too.,

a．If people have problems，they should get advice from an expert.

b．If people have problems，they should talk to other people.

c．①If people have problems，they should try to keep them to themselves.

Students these days often have a lot of worries：Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork，and sometimes with their friends.What can they do about this？Some people believe the worst thing is to do nothing.Laura Mills，a teenager from London，agrees.“Problems and worries are normal in life，” says Laura.“But I think talking to someone helps a lot.②Unless we talk to someone，we'll certainly feel worse.”

Laura once lost her wallet，and worried for days.She was afraid to tell her parents about

it.She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money.She just kept thinking，“If I tell my parents，they'll be angry！” ③In the end，she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. ④Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself.They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful.“I will always remember to share my problems in the future！” Laura says.

Robert Hunt advises students about common problems.He feels the same way as Laura.“It is best not to run away from our problems.⑤We should always try to solve them.” He thinks the first step is to find

someone you trust to talk to.This person doesn't need to be an expert like himself.⑥Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them，and are always there to help them.⑦In English，we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half.So you're halfway to solving a certainly ['s??rtnli] 當然，肯定 wallet ['wɑ?l?t] 皮夾，錢包 worried ['w??rid] 擔心的，煩惱的 angry ['??ɡri] 生氣的，發(fā)怒的 careless ['kerl?s] 粗心的，不小心的 problem just by talking to someone about it！,
