In Western countries, many children do housework to get pocket money. They usually start to do this at 10 years old. School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don"t have a lot of free time in the week. They often do housework at the weekend. Young kids only do easy housework. So they don"t get much money. But that"s all right. Many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap! They help wash up after dinner and feed the family cat or dog. When they get older, kids want to buy more and more thing. They want things that are more expensive than candy. Then they have to work harder! They often wash the family car, cut the grass, walk the dog or cook dinner. It is really a good way for kids to learn to do some new things. Of course, their parents will help them learn something at first. For example, parents often teach them how to cook before they can. | 1. What does "pocket money" means in this passage? | [ ] | A. 口袋里的钱 B. 零花钱 C. 钱包 D. 储钱罐 | 2.

Lots of kids have had. Usually this feeling doesn"t last long. But what if you feel this way too much? If you are stressed out, you might have a hard time making decision. In the morning, you can"t decide what to eat, what to wear, or what to take for lunch. Sometimes it"s a problem with your classes and schoolwork. Maybe the work is too easy and you get bored. Or maybe the work is too hard, or you don"t feel as clever as the other kids. Reading may be difficult for you, but you are asked to do a lot of it. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem that you will never catch up with others. When you know why you don"t like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It"s a good idea to talk to someone about your problems at school. Your mom, dad, friends, teachers, or even classmates will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feeling about school. For instance, keep a diary or just write in a notebook. It"s a great way to let out emotion that may be stuck inside you. And you don"t have to share (分享) what you have written with others. The next time you find yourself disliking school, this will also help you: Make a list of everything you dislike or enjoy-even there is only one thing. See what you can change on "don"t like"list. Could you find a way to show off your special interests and talents on what you like? Which activities could you try that would help you solve these"don"t like"problems?

People love these pets and regard them as their good friends. Before they keep them at their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them needles so that they won"t carry disease (疾病). They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people"s homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animals in Canada. They have a law against killing wild (野生的) animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished (处罚). If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it. People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family tie is not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own career (生涯). Then the seniors (老人) will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone. | 1.

Some people read newspapers as the first thing to do in the morning, others read newspapers as soon as they have free time during the day so that they can learn what is happening in the world. Sometimes, we do not have enough time to read all the news carefully, so we just take a quick look at the front page. At other times, we may be in such a hurry that we only have a few minutes to look at the headlines (标题) of the passage. Newspapers can be found everywhere in the world. We can get many different kinds of newspapers in big cities, but in some mountain villages we can see few newspapers. Some newspapers are published (出版) once a week, but most of the papers are published once a day with many pages, some even published twice a day!

You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite. When to arrive The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come "around 3:00", that means you can turn up a little bit after 3:00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time. What to bring Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend"s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house. How to greet (问候) When you visit your friend"s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr. or Mrs. Smith. This will show them more respect (尊重) and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir. It is a cool thing to visit a friend"s house. Be polite to your friend and your friend"s parents, and you will be invited again! | 1.

There are so many colorful peacocks (孔雀) here. The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square. They are given food freely by visitors. They usually throw food to them, and don"t think about at all whether the food is right or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors. I"m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds, but don"t realize that they may be doing them harm. The visitors should be told that what they have done is very harmful to the birds, and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening. Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For us every person, it is our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.

If you decide to do your homework right after school, you may get something to eat before getting to work. Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don"t wait until very late in the evening, or your work will seem much harder than it really is. If you have more than an hour"s work, give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand, don"t break it up so much that you can"t get anything done you should be able to work at least a half at a time without stopping. Don"t put it off until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your mind, and you won"t enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until right before a test, you will have too much catching up to do. A little bit each night enough to keep up with what is happening each day in school, will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it all. Do your homework at the same time every evening. This will help you make it a habit. It will make it easier to do and it will make your free time more enjoyable, as well. | 阅读短文,根据其内容回答问题。 | Some children are born bosses (领导,指挥者). They have a need to make decision, manage their environment and lead rather than follow. Too much rule in the hands of the young isn"t healthy for children or the family. Family expert John Taylor says, "Children have secret feelings of weakness. They are always trying to feel safe." It"s the parents" duty-not the child"s -to provide safety. When a "boss child" doesn"t learn limits (限制) at home, troubles will appear outside the family. The child may have trouble obeying (服从) teachers, for example, or keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your ruling ways. Bossy kids are often unusually bright. Their parents need to be especially careful to manage them. Bossy kids usually work more on the mother. It"s important for both parents to know their child"s weakness, to agree on key rules and to back each up. Even as you try to be kind-to a point-don"t give up your parental ruling post. Instead, stand your ground by using body language that tells your child who the boss is. Good manners (礼貌) are important to family. Show a child by example how to ask for something rather than shout orders. Try asking your child to do things that are not too difficult. Then reward (奖励) him with a hug (拥抱) and words such as "Thank you. I like it when you listen to me." Over time good manners will become associated (联系) with pleasure. 1.

At first you might think the answer is as easy as pie. To many people, American food means hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken and pizza. If you have a "sweet tooth", you might think of apple pies or chocolate cakes. It"s true that Americans do eat those things. But are those the only kind of food you can find in America? Except for Thanksgiving turkey, it"s hard to find a typical (典型的) "American" food. The United States is a land of immigrants (移民). So Americans eat food from many different countries. When people moved to America, they brought their cooking styles (方式、类型) with them. That"s why you can find almost every kind of ethnic (民族) food in America. In some ways, Americans have taken foods from other countries as favorites. Americans love Italian pizza, Chinese egg rolls. But the American ones don"t taste quite like the food where it comes from. As any large country, the US has several special regions (地区). Each region is proud of its own special style of food. Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking. Take a trip to New England and taste delicious seafood dishes. Travel through Midwest for tasty baked food. Travel over Southwest and try good treats. Finish your food tour in Northwest with some wonderful coffee. Americans are living at a fast pace (步速). Fast food restaurants offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to fried rice. Half-done dinners and fast food make cooking at home very easy. One of the most popular quick meals is sandwich. If the meat or cheese can be put between two pieces of bread, Americans probably make a sandwich. Americans on the go also eat a lot of "junk food". Potato chips, candy bars, soft drinks and so on are popular treats. Many people eat too much of these unhealthy food. But others choose for more healthy eating habits. Some even go "all natural". They refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals. American culture (文化) is a good example of the saying, "You"re what you eat."There is different background and ways of thinking. The kind of foods enjoyed in the US shows all kinds of personal tastes. The food may be international and regional. Sometimes it"s fast, and sometimes it"s not so fast. It might be junk food or maybe it"s natural food. No matter what it is, the style is all-American. | 阅读短文,根据其内容回答问题。 | My mum was (and still is ) a fast-food cook. My dad worked in a factory.

For example, next holiday they can make cakes for all their friends and decorate the boxes themselves. ◆Give older children chances to serve in kitchens, tell them about people who have nothing on cold wet nights and tell them about parts of the world where food cannot be found. ◆Encourage them to give some of their pocket money to others.

I"m fifteen years old, and I"m a Grade 3 student in Shangjing in the year 2053! I expect you find that pretty hard to believe. Let me explain. This book is a journal I wrote last month for a very special competition. I won the first prize, which was that my book would become part of the first ever experiment in time travel. It would be put in a time capsule to be sent back almost fifty years into the past. So, if everything went according to the plan, you should be reading this in about the year 2005. Do you know what time capsules are? They are usually containers made of some very strong material so strong that it should last for hundreds or thousands of years without being destroyed. Inside these containers, you put things that are typical of the place in which you live. For example, in 2005 you might put a copy of a popular comic, a CD by a famous musician, videos of television programmes-all sorts of things. The idea is that when people in another century open up the time capsule. They"ll be able to see what life was like in the past. Until now, all time capsules have been left for people in the future to find. This one is the first that has been sent from the future to the past. I don"t understand how it"s going to be done, but I think it"s a really cool idea. If it works, my own grandparents will be able to read this when they were secondary school students! But if my grandparents did read this, why haven"t they ever mentioned it to me? | 1.

Sometimes they do anything to get a souvenir (纪念品). They steal handkerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer"s hair.

Yes, I"m enjoying myself on my exchange program in France. It"s even better than I thought it would be. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be. My host family is really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. And you wouldn"t believe how quickly my French has improved! I"m very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn"t bother me as it used to. My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are really not the same as the way they are at home. For example, you"re not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You"re supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I"m used to it. You"re not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit! (You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.) Another thing is that it is very rude to say you"re full. If you don"t want any more food, you should just say, "It was delicious." Also, it"s rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands, but not your elbows, on the table. I have to say, I find it difficult to remember everything, but I"m gradually getting used to things and don"t find them so strange any more. I"ll write soon and tell you more about life in France. Hope you"re having a good school year. Yours, Mei Fei 1. Where is Mei Fei now? 2. Was there any reason for Mei Fei to be nervous before she arrived there? 3.
