(A) Tim正在给他的朋友Tom写一封介绍中国传统的节日"龙舟节"的信。 因粗心漏掉几个单词，请你帮他填上，完成这封信。每空一词。
Dear Tom,
Thanks for your letter. Now me tell something about the Dragon Boat Festival. It is a traditional Chinese festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar.
The festival is about a great Chinese - QuYuan. He is good and friendly, but he is framed(被诬陷) by the bad people in his country. He is very sad, so he jumps the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth month.
The people near the river know QuYuan a lot and they want to find his body, they can't. Then they throw rice into the river, because they don't want the fish to eat Qu Yuan's body. They take dragon boats, and try to scare the fish away by playing the drums. In this way, the festival begins.
Today, people eat zongzi and have dragon boat races to remember QuYuan on the Dragon Boat Festival.
Yours,
Tim

Most students like 1 TV. On TV, 2 can learn a lot, and they can see and 3 many interesting and important things 4 their country and the world. Of course, they can 5 over the radio, but they can learn better and more easily on 6. Why? 7 they can hear and watch at the same time. But they can't 8anything over the radio.
Many students usually watch TV 9 Saturday or Sunday evenings. They're very 10 with their lessons on 11. Only a few students watch TV 12. Some of them go to bed very 13. They are very tired in class. So they can't have a good 14 in a day. How about you, my young friend? Please tell me 15 about your favorite!
As we know, there are many kinds of clubs in the US middle schools, such as the music club, the sports club, the chess club, the swimming club…. But do you know the homework club? It is a popular(流行的) club in many US middle schools. More and more students spend their afternoons in the homework clubs.
The US middle school students need a quiet place to study. But games, computers and TVs are all around kids at home. So the homework club is just for them to do their homework. The club is quiet and it's good for students to study. Some teachers are there, too. They can answer students' questions and help with their homework. If students finish their homework, they will get a snack. It's always students' favorite food. Then they can go home and play games or watch TV happily.
Dear Sally,
Thank you for your e-mail and the photo of New York. Here are some photos of my family trip in Wuhan. In the first photo, my sister Jane is wearing Chinese traditional clothes on the Yellow Grower. In the second picture, my father and I are swimming in a river. It's so cool! In the next picture, my parents, Jane and I are eating great noodles. Its name is hot dry noodles. It looks very nice!
In the last picture, my family people are at my friend's home. We are having some mooncakes because it's the Mid-autumn Festival. It's an important festival in China. On this day, all the families get together and have a happy dinner.
I think Wuhan is a nice city in China. The people there are friendly. One day I wish to go there again.
Yours,
David
Mary is an American schoolgirl. She is now in Beijing with her parents. Mary can't speak Chinese well. But she wants to learn and speak it. She often tries to speak Chinese to her Chinese friends, but sometimes they don't understand her because she can't speak it well.
Today is Sunday morning. She wants to go to the zoo to see the birds and monkeys, but she doesn't know how to get there. She asks a Chinese boy. The boy can't understand her. So she draws a monkey on a piece of paper and shows it to the boy. Then the boy tells Mary the way to the zoo.
Animals are our friends. Sometimes they do funny things. Look at the pictures from an English newspaper. The Daily Telegraph chose some funny animal pictures from 2015. Get ready for some good laughs.
A. Even chipmunks (花栗鼠) learn to smoke. An English woman saw this strange chipmunk on a beach in Spain (西班牙). It has a cigarette (香烟) in his mouth! Smoking is bad. You should stop, chipmunks. |
B. What's the news today? Chaska, a one-year-old bear, lived in a US zoo. Chaska likes reading newspapers. |
C. Look at this beluga whale (大白鲸)! It lives in an American aquarium (水族馆). It tries to get closer to watch the visitors, but only flattens (压扁) its nose on the glass. |
D. Do I look cool? A monkey in Indonesia (印度尼西亚) takes a camera from a visitor. He takes many pictures of himself. |
E. What a fat squirrel (松鼠)！It lives in a zoo in the US. People there often give it nuts to eat. So it is now twice the weight it should be. |
①Kate: My friends and I really like to watch the monkey take pictures.
②Mike: My favorite animal is a squirrel. The squirrel can eat nuts.
③Gina: I don't like animals, but I enjoy watching chipmunks smoking.
④Jack: I want to go to an American aquarium to watch the whale's show.
⑤Scott: I really want to know how Chaska can read newspapers.
Dogs like living with people. They are very friendly. They can do many things for people. Some dogs help people to look after sheep, other dogs help them to find the lost children. And some of the dogs can help the blind. They are the Seeing Eye Dogs.
Now we can see this kind of dogs all over the world. They work for the blind.
The Seeing Eye dog is strong and easy to train(训练). He helps the blind to walk from place to place. Before a dog becomes a Seeing Eye dog, it must go to a training school for about three months. First the dog has to learn to sit or stay when he hears the trainer's call. In his next lesson the dog learns to take his trainer across busy streets. The dog has many things to learn. At the end of the training school, he must take tests(测试). When it passes the test, it can become the Seeing Eye dog.
The new master(主人) may be a man, a woman, or even a child. It takes the dog and his blind master about a month to learn to work and live together.
