11、 was getting better. Now I'm very healthy. Since then I have hoped to become a doctor. I will study hard to get more knowledge in order to achieve my dream. I'll give my love to the patients as much as possible and help them out of danger. To be a doctor is really great. I think my dream will come
12、true one day. Passage7 My Spare Time I am a middle school student. Though I’m busy with my lessons, my spare time is still colorful. After school I usually play sports. I like basketball and football very much. Sports help me to keep healthy and study better. I often do some reading in the evening
13、 I think books are our best friends. They give us much knowledge that we can’t learn at school. So reading books is the best way of spending my spare time. Sometimes I watch TV or surf the Internet. I find it’s a good way to relax myself. At the same time it can also help me open up my eyes to the
14、outside world. At the weekends I often help my parents with the housework. I clean the house, wash clothes and learn to cook.

18、teachers. We help each other and learn from each other. But I hope our teachers give us less homework, then we will be more interested in studying. Passage10 Giving Is Receiving I am a student from Green Middle School. My name is Li Ming. I like helping others because I think it makes me very h

I often visit the children's hospital to cheer the sick kids up. I read stories and sing songs for them
20、 I am good with children. I also give money to charities to help people in trouble. I think giving is receiving. Helping others is helping ourselves. Do you agree with me? Passage11 My Ideas about Studying Many people think the more time is spent, the more work will be done. So students have to s
21、pend the whole day doing school work except three meals. It is common to see students struggling in a sea of school work both at school and at home. Modern students usually have many interests. They love music and sports. They like reading and watching TV. Especially, a two-day weekend can get th
22、em away from too much homework. But they have no time to enjoy themselves. Students are really tired of their weekend homework. So they usually don’t do their weekend homework until Sunday night. And there is not enough time but much work, students have to finish it carelessly. The poor weekend home
23、work makes teachers angry. Things always get worse without right ideas. Too much homework makes students lose interest in learning. It’s also bad for their health. A horse runs faster after a rest. But for students only rest is not enough. So such a condition should be changed to give students
24、 both pleasure and knowledge. Please give students less homework but leave them more free time. Passage12 How to be an excellent student I’m going to be a high school student. At first, I must obey the school rules. I will go to school on time and I won’t smoke. As a high school student, it’s i
25、mportant to have good study habits. I should listen to the teachers carefully in class, review and relax after school. And I am going to communicate better with my teachers and classmates, share something good with my friends and help each other. At home, I will try my best to help my parents do som
26、e housework, like doing the dishes and cleaning the house because they are very tired every day. At last, I’ll protect the environment and take an active part in the volunteer work as often as possible. I believe I’ll be an excellent student. Passage13 How to reduce pressure Dear Mary, Pressure
27、 is a serious problem in today’s world. I know you are under too much pressure. You can’t get on well with your classmates; you may worry about your exams. I’m always under pressure, too. My parents want me to be the top student in class. So they send me to all kinds of training classes at weeken
28、ds. Last Monday evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed with me at last. So I think a conversation with your parents is necessary to solve the problem. Less pressure, better life! Best wishes to you!
29、 Yours, Jane Passage14 The advice to Tara’s trouble Dear Tara, I got your letter last week. I hear that you do very well in all the subjects. Congratulat
30、ions. But you have few friends. You feel lonely. You don’t know what you should do. I give some advice: First, you should help the students who are in trouble, both in study and in life. They think you can get on well with them. Then, join them. You can play and sing with them. Doing that can make y
31、ou a member of them. Last, after class you can talk with them. Share the sadness and happiness with them. I hope you can make more friends and become happy. Yours, Lisa Passage15 An e-mail to the teacher Dear Mr. Li, I’m very glad to write to you. I have a lot of troubles these days. Every d
32、ay I have a lot of homework to do at school. I don’t have enough time to sleep. I nearly have no time to do sports. My friends and I can hardly find time to talk, or play together. When I get back home from school, I’m not allowed to watch TV, surf the Internet or listen to my favorite music. I feel
33、 worried about them. I don’t know what I should do. Could you please give me some suggestions? Best wishes. Passage16 Can students use mobile phones in school? Recently we held a discussion about whether the students should use mobile phones at scho
34、ol or not. Some of us think mobile phones should be used at school. First, we can surf the Internet for information we need, Second, with mobile phones we can play games for enjoyment in our free time. Finally, we can call our parents easily. However, some other students don’t think so. On one hand
35、 some students send messages on mobile phones in class. On the Other hand, we can use the school public phones. Besides, keeping a mobile phone costs money. In my opinion, it’s not a good idea to use mobile phones at school because it makes no difference to improving our study. Passage17 How to
36、 get well with others As we know, students should learn how to get on well with others. But in what ways? First of all, we should respect others. Everyone has their own way to do things, so we should understand each other. Besides it is important for us to communicate with each other and share our
37、happiness and sadness. What’s more, we should be kind to others and offer necessary help to those who are in trouble. In my opinion, we should treat others in an honest way. Only in these ways can we get along well. Passage18 The survey on “Using paper cards or e-cards” Dear Editor, I am writin
38、g to tell you about the survey I’ve made on “Using paper cards or e-cards” In our class. About 30% of the students want to use paper cards. First of all, they are made by hand and they can express/show people’s real feelings. Second, they are easy to take and can be kept for long. Third, people can
39、 read them without computers. However, around 70% of the students prefer to use c-cards. For one thing, e-cards can carry lots of information and people can send them quickly. For another thing, suing e-cards can save paper so that our environment can be protected well. What’s more, people can m
40、ake various designs they like. Passage19 Some questions about learning English Dear Kate, I’m writing to you for some questions about learning English. You know, I have great interest in English all the time. However, I find it difficult to learn. In China, if you want to learn English we
41、ll, listening, speaking, reading and writing are quite important. I wonder whether it is the same in Canada. Besides, our teachers tell us again and again that grammar is very important; we must take it seriously. However, I don’t like grammar. It is so boring that I never learn it well. Dear Ka
42、te, is grammar also very importantto you native speakers? I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours, Han Mei Passage20 How to learn Chinese Dear Dave, I’m glad to get your
43、letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well. Here is my advice. First, As a foreigner, you need to go and join a Chinese learning activity group, the most important thing is to remember as many Chinese words as possible. Second, if you want to improve your listening ability, you’d bette
44、r read Chinese books, listen to the tapes and radio programs in Chinese. You can watch the Chinese TV programs or DVDs. Third, you make some Chinese friends. Your friends can teach you a lot of Chinese songs and introduce some Chinese festivals to you, too. I think we will have a good time. Please
45、 write to me soon. Yours Zhang Hua Passage21 Water pollution Water is important to us. We can’t live without it. But some people don’t really care about this. They waste a lot of water, pour dirty water and throw rubbish into rivers or lakes. As a result, many rivers and lakes are polluted,
46、 and there is less and less water for us to drink. So we must do something to protect the water resource. We should stop the pollution and find ways to reuse water. If everyone can do so, we are sure to save a lot of water. Passage22 Please walk to school I think going to school on foot is good f
47、or us. First of all, walking to school is a wonderful way to exercise and it’s good for health. Next, it’s fun to walk together with friends every day. We can talk about something interesting and know each other better. What’s more, if we walk, our parents won’t have to drive us to school. There wil
48、l be fewer cars in the city. More walking and less driving helps to make our city cleaner. The streets won't be as crowded as they are now, I hope more and more students will go to school on foot. Passage23 How to Develop Good Living Habits Everyone has different living habits. Good habits can ma
49、ke us keep healthy. As teenagers, what should we do? In my opinion, everyone should get up and sleep on time every day. Don’t play or watch TV all night. That is bad for our health and affect our work. We should eat more vegetables and fruit, and eat less meat. I advise everybody to take more phys
50、ical exercises. Don't eat junk food, for example instant noodles. Don't litter and spit. Don't play on the road. Remember to obey the traffic rules. No jaywalking. In a word, if we want to keep healthy and happy, we must develop good living habits. Passage24 Breakfast Is Important Breakfast is
