The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转) of the earth. At the equator(赤道) day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 in the morning and sets at 6 in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜) toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球) gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than night. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.
（1）When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having _________.
A.both day and night
B.day
C.neither day nor night
D.night
（2）A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by _________ of the earth.
A.the pushing
B.the pulling
C.the spinning
D.the passing
（3）At the equator day is as long as night ___________.
A.sometimes
B.never
C.usually
D.always
（4）When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets ___________ sunlight.
A.less
B.more
C.all
D.no

I have seen your advertisement for a teacher in the magazine Guangzhou Education. I think I'm suitable for the job.

I am 28 years old. I finished my high school education in Xiamen, and then went to university in Fuzhou. I studied languages, with English as my major (主修课程). I always got good scores for all subjects. At university, I was a very active student. I was chairman of the English Film Club and a member of the university squash (壁球) team.

I have traveled to a number of English-speaking countries. I think my English language skills have improved as a result and I can teach senior classes without any problems

I have worked as a teacher for four years. I have taught at a well-known language school in Hangzhou. This has been a good experience. I have also taught special courses in Writing for Business, showing people how to write good business letters for Tour Guides. All these experiences have helped me become a good teacher.

I am a warm and friendly person, and my students enjoy my lessons. I think language learning can be fun. I always encourage my students to use English outside the classroom, do projects and take part in English language activities. I have helped my students put on plays and of English songs.

I want to live in Guangzhou and teach in your school. I hope for an interview so I can tell you more.

Yours faithfully,

William Fang

Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some ways of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chaffs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chaff facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out: Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chaff. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
