Humans love animals and they especially love animals with humanlike personalities. For this reason,many of the most popular films are either centered on animals 1        have animals as important characters. Even in a movie that has little or nothing to do with animals,a pet can add a certain 2       (emotion) quality to a film's plot. As 3       (expect) ，dogs and cats,the two most popular pets,make up the majority of animal characters in films. 4       many other less common pets have had 5 (star) roles also. Snakes,rats,pigs,rabbits,horses and many others have touched our lives through their extraordinary ability to personify humans in ways that humans just can't do.

Most movies that feature pets as central characters are family movies that give families a platform around 6        delicate subjects can 7       (discuss) . Often kids have an easier time understanding subjects like death and illness if they see it through the eyes of one of these personified animals.

These days,computer animation and graphics allow an 8       (entire) new generation of pet movies 9       (make) . Animals that before were never seen in a film but now appear on the big screen in life. Whether they are lions,elephants,polar bears or some other exotic animals,video stores now have hundreds of titles10       ( offer) humanlike performances from any type of animal imaginable.

Everyone wants to have a healthy heart. Still,heart diseases affect more than 1        in 3 adults in the United States. The good news is that some simple,everyday habits can make a big difference in your ability to live a healthy lifestyle. 1

* Watching TV Sitting for hours on end increases your risk of heart attack and stroke (中风) . 2       Why? While sitting,the lack of movement may affect blood levels of fats and sugars. Dr. Reynolds advises walking around regularly and,if you're at work,standing up to talk on the phone.

* Leaving Hostility and Depression Unchecked 3       It can do harm to your heart. While everyone feels this way at times,how you handle these emotions can affect your heart health. " Those with stress are in greater danger. Research has shown a benefit of laughter and social support, " Dr. Reynolds says. "And it's helpful to be able to go to someone and talk about your problems."

* Cutting Off from the World It's no secret that on some days,other human beings can seem annoying and too difficult to get along with. However,it makes sense to strengthen your connections to the ones you actually like. People with stronger connections to family,friends,and society in general tend to live longer,healthier lives. 4       However,you should still reach out to others and keep in touch whenever you can.

*      5       Sure,studies suggest a small amount of alcohol may be good for your heart. However,too many of us drink over. Too much alcohol is linked to a greater risk of high blood pressure,high levels of blood fats,and heart failure.

Dear Lucy,Last Monday,a monitor election held in our class. We had all been waited for this big day,especially the two candidates,Liu Dong and Wang Hong. An election started with their speech. While Liu impressed us with his confidence,but Wang satisfied us with her detailed plans for the class. After which,we all placed our votes in the box one by one. Exciting,we waited for the result to come. Finally,results showed that Wang Hong won the election. As we applaud for Wang,she came up to the front to thank us and to promise us a better tomorrow for our class.

Did something interesting happen there in Britain? I hope to hear of you soon.

Yours,Lin Li

The UK has a well- 1       ( respect) higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those 2        are new to it,sometimes it can be 3          (confuse) .

October is usually the 4       (busy) month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers' Week for their newcomers. It's an 5           ( extraordinary) great opportunity 6         (make) new friends,join lots of clubs and settle into university life.

However,having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind,the prospect of meeting lots of strangers in big halls 7        be nerve wracking (令人焦虑不安的) .Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?

Luckily,there will be 8       (thousand) of others in the same boat as you are worrying about 9       (start) their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don't rush into anything 10        you'll regret for the next three years.

There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. 1       But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with,an individual will have a low level of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. 2       If an individual is disabled environmentally,it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.

The importance of environment in determining an individuaFs intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins,Peter and Mark X. Being identical,the twins had identical brains at birth,and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old,their parents died. 3       Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. 4       He was read to as a child,sent to good schools,and given every opportunity to be stimulated (刺激) intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens,when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I. Q. was 125,twentyfive points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. 5      

   A. So the second factor is what happens to the individual.

   B. Meanwhile,Mark was adopted by a poor foster home.

   C. Then they were placed in separate foster homes (收养家庭) .

   D. Human brains differ considerably,some being more capable than others.

   E. Mark was raised in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college.

   F. Secondly,whether you are brought up in a city or a poor village is also significant.

   G. Given equal opportunities,the twins would have tested at roughly the same level.

After all the preparations,the big time come. I stood at the start line,taking deep breath and getting myself ready for the following 100-meter-run. "Bang!" I was dashed out. I had anything in my mind but the very word "run,run,run". When I had covered two third of the distance,I felt too exhausted that my legs could hardly move. However,I never thought about give up and kept telling myself to carry out. When I finally arrived at the finishing line,sweat dropped down my face and scarce could I even speak a word. Tired as I was,I knew it was worth it when I was told that I had passed the examination with flying colors.

A popular saying goes, "Sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will never hurt me." 1      ,that's not really true. Words have the power 2       (build) us up or tear us down. It 3       ( do) matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves―the positive and negative effects are just as 4          (last) .

We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We're usually 5        embarrassed to admit it,though. In fact,we really shouldn't be so 6        more and more experts believe 7       (talk) to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.

This "self talk" helps us motivate ourselves,remember things,solve problems,and calm ourselves down. Be aware,though,that as much as 77% of self talk tends 8        negative. So in order to stay positive,we should only speak words of 9       (encourage) to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back.10       next time you finish a project,do well in a test,or finally clean your room,join me in saying "Good job!"

Are the school holidays too long? We asked children,parents and teachers whether the summer break should be shorter. 1       Ruby Mullin,nine This idea is mean. There's no other word for it. Children need to calm down and have a good holiday at the end of a busy school year. The long holidays give you time to do things you wouldn't otherwise get to do,like in my family we go to Ireland and see relatives and friends there. It might seem long to some people. 2       Anthony Seldon,head teacher of Wellington College in Berkshire If it hadn't been for the long summer holiday,I wouldn't have come into teaching. 3       Whether it's painting,hiking or,as in my case,writing books,it adds such a lot to what teachers have to give. And as for all these worries about pupils forgetting all they've learned,children have up to nine weeks in summer,and their exam results don't suffer. We all know that some of the most valuable learning experiences take place away from the classroom.

Nachelle Crowther,mother of three kids 4      The sixweek break seems designed for another age,when mothers didn't work and your mum lived round the corner to give you a hand. If I was able to take a sixweek holiday,great,I'd love it―but in the real world,that isn't possible. Instead,I end up spending a fortune―around £600―on childcare for each week when I'm working.

Sarah Radford,a primary school teacher at Botley school,Oxford

I've taught for more than 20 years,and summer is the only holiday when teachers can properly switch off from the intense work of planning and assessing (评估) .If it was shortened,the result would be an increase in teachers' stress levels and a harmful effect on our ability to teach. Children need that time for unstructured play,and to have time not being assessed,simply being themselves. 5      

   A. Should children have less time off school during the summer?

   B. However,time flies when you're having fun.

   C. It's important for teachers to do other things.

   D. A shorter summer holiday would be much better.

   F.   T have 9inreferenre for a lon^ cummer holiHav to have,fun

   F. A long summer holiday can also improve childrenparents relationship.

   G. And then school lessons will help their learning when they're back in school.

Prepared for a long time,we had our PE high school graduate examination today. Our school was so considerable that we were offered a free ride to the place for our examination. On arrival,we walked directly to the playground and then waited on line,listening carefully to a teacher emphasize the rules we shall follow. Although I had trained hardly in PE classes,but I was still quite nervous. Look around,I saw most of the students doing the warmup with a confident look on their faces. So I told myself to calm low and managed to focus on the warmup in order to avoid get injured in the examination.

Ballet is an elegant and beautiful form of dancing 1        is performed in a theatre. A kind of ballet first appeared in Italy in the 1400s,but ballet as it is danced today 2       (begin) in France. During the reign of King Louis XIV,in the 1600s,it was 3       (office) recognized as a form of art. The French Royal Academy of Dance was founded in 1661 to promote ballet.4       (tradition) ，or classical ballet follows strict 5       ( rule) . There are standard positions for the arms,legs and hands,and special movements that make the dance flow smoothly.

Classical ballet uses orchestras (交响乐团) ，fine scenery and splendid costumes. Many ballets tell a story,but the dancers do not speak 6        words. They act out the story,7       (use) their bodies.   The person who arranges the dance movements 8          ( call) the choreographer (编舞者) .

Some ballets are very famous. They9       (dance) for many years. Giselle,a story of a tragic young village girl who dies in lovestricken grief,was first performed in 1841. Two other longtime favorites are Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty. These two ballets are as famous for their music 10        for their dancing.
