    Have you ever watched the movie Twilight, one of The Twilight Saga《暮光之城》系列）? Bella is a teenage girl who leaves her mum and her mum’s new husband    1   her dad. She moves to Forks, Washington. Arriving at the small town, she knows Jacob and    2    friends, as well as the handsome boy Edward Cullen, who appears cold and warm unexpectedly but with great    3   . Bella then falls in love with Edward, the    4    vampire（吸血鬼）.

I am really fond of the first scene of the film. There is a wolf    5    very fast across the forest, with    6    voice of Bella. She says she    7    about dying, but maybe it will be    8    and not too bud to die beside her lover. Seeing the running wolf, I can    9    imagine that it is a love story between a high school girl and a charming vampire.

Besides, the film    11    by the teenage girl at the first person at the beginning and I only know what she knows.

By the way, it’s a typical Hollywood film which has clear cause- and effect order, and the main roles always have    15    goal—to be together with the one you love, no matter what he is, human or vampire.

What’s more, the ending is happy that Bell and Edward got together with each other. I strongly recommend you watch it when you are free.

    ①What things are acceptable when you are at the dinner table and what things are serious breaches of manners?

②I will tell you some of the most important American rules of table manners. When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin across your laps. You should never talk with your mouth full and should chew with your mouth closed. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing the food before answering. You should never drop scraps on the table, instead place them on a spare plate. Salt and pepper, but you should taste your food before adding any. Only put food on someone else’s plate if they ask for it and if they say they do not want anything else to eat or drink then you will not give them anything else. Do not use your knife or fork to point at others because it is considered rude.

③In China I know it is rude to point with your chopsticks. It is common practice to place food into a friends bowl and to put drink in their glass even after they have said they do not want any more. It is fine to drop the scraps onto the table. Though salt and pepper are not always on the table, vinegar and soy sauce.

④Manners are different all over the world and can even change in different parts of a country. Have you ever seen a foreigner do something you thought was impolite?

33．What’s the best title for the passage?

C．When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do

D．American and Chinese rules of table manners

    In the 13th century, Marco Polo, the world known Italian traveler, saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However, the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century.

Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2, 000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1100.Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that, countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, Finland became the most important ones in paper making.

Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm？In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated （使绝缘的）from heat or cold with paper.

However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth some day in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2, 800 tons of paper in our country. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down  nearly 48,000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.

So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.

In short, we should keep a balance （平衡） between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.

34．When did the Chinese begin to use paper money?

A．In the 5th century. B．In the 6th century.

C．In the 7th century. D．In the 15th century.

35．Why did Canada become an important country in paper making?

A．Because it was a large country.

B．Because it had lots of forests.

C．Because it was a very rich country.

D．Because the inventor was from Canada.

36．In Finland, paper is used for ________.

A．making beds B．reducing waste C．making umbrellas D．keeping warm

37．According to the passage, how many trees are needed to make one ton of paper?

A．10. B．17 C．2.800 D．48, 000.

For many years, British people have been suggested eating at least “five-a-day”-that is five kinds of fruits or vegetables every day in order to i46． their health and reduce illness and cancer.

However, this has been found to be untrue, according to a new scientific study.

The suggestion was first put forward in 1990 by the World Health Organization. It said that the “five-a-day”diet could p47． 50% of cancer and other chronic diseases（慢性病）. Since the people in many developed countries have taken the a48．, such as the UK, where the people eat a lot of unhealthy food.

However, a study of 500, 000 Europeans from 10 different countries proves that the key to a49． cancers is to have a healthy lifestyle which includes not smoking or drinking a lot of alcohol, taking exercise and not being too fat. Eating more fruit and vegetables can only reduce 2.5% of cancers.

But doctors have spoken out to remind people that diet is i50． in staying healthy, and that even a 2.5% reduction in cancers is sill a great step.

Cancer Research UK said, “It’s still a good idea to eat your ‘five-a-day’, but remember that fruits and vegetables are not enough to keep you away from cancer.”

Group Activities

Group activities work help us study English better. In English class, we often have group activities. But how can the activities help us study English better?

First, we must make it clear what the task is for each group and how it should be done. Second, each group member must play a different role and the whole group should cooperate well. At the same time, teachers should offer necessary help to each group during activities. Finally, the activity results must be shared in class because they are our achievements. The groups are supposed to comment on each other so that we can know our own shortcomings.

I like group activities work. In this way, we will become better.
