I often spend my summer holidays just with my parents. It is quite boring. But last summer holiday was1. Some of my friends came to stay with my parents and me for a week at our summer house. It is in a small beach town called Portsea. They got there by train. It2 them three hours.

One morning my friends and I decided to take my parents' boat for a ride. We rowed for half an hour and found a big cave. Susan said it could be dangerous to go into it. But Peter said it was okay. 3we started rowing again and got in. Then the tide (潮)started. At first we thought we could fight it but we were wrong. We shouted for4but there was no one around. Susan and I began to cry. Louis told us not to worry because the tide would be out. Because Louis always seemed to know the answer for everything, we stopped crying.

Luckily, Louis was right again. After some hours the tide went out. We rowed back home quickly. We didn't5 my parents about this special trip. And we were so afraid that we would not have a boat ride again.

Do you have lots of friends? What do youfriends and friendship? And they are very important to you? Some of your friends may have different views and interests, while some like doing the sameas you. Do you like the friends different from youthe same as you? You may like the friends whothe same interests as you. But I don't really care.

I have two good friends, Peter and James. Peter isme. I am a quiet boy, and Peter is also quiet. Weenjoy reading books and surfing the Internet. On weekends, we often go to library oron the computer together. But James is very different from us. He likes playing ball games, and he is more athletic than us. He ismore outgoing. He likes talking and often makeslaugh. You see, friends are notto be the same. Do you agree with me?

My Town—the Best Place to Be!

My town is a great place to live in. It's the best place to enjoy your free time. There are three movie theaters in the town. They are all good, but the one nearest my house is the best. Shopping is also easy, There are many shops and most of them are popular. They sell very fashionable (流行的)clothes. The prices are also cheaper than in other cities, so students love to shop here. There are also a lot of video and music stores. These are very popular with students. I go to the music store every week to buy a new CD. The most crowded place for students to hang out is the park. Everyone goes there, so it's really interesting.

Sometimes there are even street performers. Some students think they are boring, but I think they are the most creative people. I want to be a street performer, too.

Friends are very important in everyone's life because friends are always there when we need them. It's great to have many friends, and I can't think about my life without my friends.

My best friend is Lisa. She is a smart girl. When I first met her, I was five. She is one year older than me. Now she is in the same class with me, in the 7th grade. She is tall and quite thin. She has long curly blond hair and blue eyes. I am not so beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could be as beautiful as she is. She is more outgoing than me, and she is very popular in our class.

My name's Molly. I am tall enough but a little fat. Lisa and I like doing a lot of things together and talking about different things. She always helps me with my maths and I sometimes help her with her English and history. I had to do a report on science once, but I didn't understand (理解) what the teacher said. The next day, I read it in front of the class. But the teacher told me that my report was wrong and all my classmates laughed at me. I felt very bad about myself. Lisa was the only one who didn't laugh at me. She tried to be nicer than anybody else and make me happy.

I am a shy person and sometimes I feel that people don't understand me. Lisa is friendly and everybody loves her. She is also smart and she can deal with everything. I am happy to have a friend like her.

We know that most children love junk food very much, although it's bad for their health. Their parents don't want them to eat too much junk food. Most children know it's not a good habit, but they still want to eat it. Some of them eat this kind of food every day. Some only eat it two or three times a week.

I know a boy called Bill. He isn't healthy. He hardly ever exercises. And he eats lots of junk food because he loves it. When he has pocket money (零用钱), he always buys junk food. His parents worry about him a lot, but he says, "Maybe I'm not very healthy, but I enjoy myself." His parents have no good ways to stop him.

The movie Ne Zha came back to the screen in my hometown. And lots of people watched it.

For many years, the character Ne Zha has been familiar to many children of China. .

Of course, Ne Zha in that TV series is not as great as Sun Wukong. .

Now, the relationships among the characters in the 3 D movie Ne Zha are given modern meanings. . He is very happy when he feels the warmth of the family. And he does not hide his anger when he meets bad men. He lives as he wants to live.

It was hard to believe that a panda—eyed, buck—toothed (牙的) child could be a hero in hearts of millions of people. But it made it and the movie was a big success. . It took him three years to write this play and two more years to make the cartoon. . You can enjoy the beauty created by high technology when watching it.

A. But still, Ne Zha is popular in Chinese Children's hearts.

B. Most Chinese came to know Ne Zha from the TV series Journey to the West.

C. New Ne Zha in the 3 D movie is more than a child.

D. Yang Lu is such a great man.

E. It is one of the most successful cartoons made in China.

F. The film's director and screenwriter is Yang Yu.

Do you know an old town with the name of "Pingyao" in Shanxi? The old town is not far from Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi.

Pingyao is a town with a long history of over 2, 000 years. It was first built in the period of the Western Zhou Dynasty (西周时期). It is a well—preserved (保存完整的) ancient town in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The old city is not very large: It is. only 2. 25 km in size.

There are no tall buildings there. Most of the buildings have only two floors. And most of them are made of stones. There are many Chinese—style shops on each side of the street. There is a wall around it. It's about 6 km long and 12 m high. And you mustn't miss the nice food there. Try Pingyao beef and you are sure to love it.

Pingyao is a wonderful place to visit. You can take buses or trains here. It's less than 2 hours' bus ride from Taiyuan. It costs you only 20 yuan. If you take a train, it will take you less time, only one and a half hours. And if you want to go to Pingyao from Beijing, the train ride takes only about 6 hours.

Young people like to be cool. What's cool? Different people have different answers. Some people think they are cool if they can wear fashion clothes. Some people think if they have strange hairstyles (发型), they are cool. Some people think they are cool when they wear fewer clothes in winter. But I don't think so. I think you are really cool only when you are healthy. How to be healthy? Exercise every day, such as running, walking and swimming. Exercise can make people healthy. Some students often catch a cold. Why? Because they don't exercise. They are not healthy. People can exercise with their parents or friends. Exercise can be fun. And it can help people keep healthy.
