Nick likes reading. When he comes home, he always reads some newspaper or books. Rita begins to cook in the kitchen. And when the meat is roasted (烤), she always tells her husband to cut it in two. Then they begin to have supper together. After supper they go out for a walk, or they go to the cinema. And they enjoy themselves.
0ne day Nick planted trees with his students. They climbed up a mountain and worked hard. When he got home , he felt hungry. His wife roasted a piece of chicken that evening and told him to cut it. This time he chose a bigger piece of chicken for himself and gave her the smaller one.
“I remember, dear,” Rita said with a smile. “When we married, you always gave me the bigger part. Why do you give me the smaller one now?”

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.
In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.
49. The biggest difficulty on the road to your dreams comes from _____________________.
A. yourself B. your friends C. your school D. your parents.

How can you think in English? I think the best way is to practice as what a football player does every day. During the practice the football player will pass the ball to his teammates over and over again. So (69) he won’t have to think about passing the ball in the game, he will just do it.
(70)You can train yourself to think in English in this way. The first step is to think of the words that you use daily, simple everyday words like book, shoe or tree. For example, whenever you see a “book”, you should think of it in English instead of in your mother language.
After you have learned to think of several words in English, then move on to the next step ----think of sentences in English. (71)听是学英语的一个非常有用的方法。Listen first and don’t care too much about whether you fully understand what you’re hearing. Try to repeat (重复) what you hear. (73)The you listen, the you learn. After you reach a higher level, start having conversations with yourself in English. This will lead you to think in English.

be able to tell when and where an earthquake will be before they happen. They
can also tell people what to do and how to do it.

Mike was starting the fourth grade in the autumn. He felt that he was old enough to ride a bike to school like other kids. But there were two problems! The first was that he didn't know if his parents would let him ride a bike to school. The second and the bigger of the two problems was that he didn't have a bike, because he and his parents had just moved to the town this summer.
Mike started to get over his problems. First, he asked his parents if they would let him ride a bike to school in the autumn. To his surprise, they said, "Sure, Mike, you are old enough, but you don't have a bike!" Mike began to think about how to solve the problem. Finally, he thought of an idea.

As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let’s look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative（消极的）meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive（积极的）actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel（冷酷的）. There are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well.
The
rose is regarded as a symbol（象征）of love in both China and
some western countries. People think the rose stands for（代表）love, peace（和平）, courage and
friendship. And the rose is the national flower of

If you knew a bottle of water had been recycled from urine (尿), would you drink it? Astronauts at the International Space Station (ISS) may soon do so.
