  There is a boy called Bill in my gym class who has unbearably yellow teeth that almost make everyone feel unpleasant.Recently another boy told Bill that he should "go Ajax" his teeth.Bill was crushed.If the other boy had been thinking, he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation.He could have dealt with it with tact.He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful, sensitive way-that's "tact".

  If a person isn't sensitive to another's feelings, there is no way he or she can be tactful.Yesterday, my 5-year-old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen on our television set.Unfortunately, he used furniture polish, which produced an oily film on the television screen.My mother smiled arid thanked him for his efforts-and then showed how to clean the screen properly.Her sensitivity enables my brother to keep his self-respect.Yet, sensitivity alone does not make tact.

  "Tactfulness" also requires "truthfulness".Doctors, for example must be truthful.If a patient has just been disabled in an accident, a tactful doctor will tell the truth-but express it with sensitivity.The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling them curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available.Doctors must use tact with patients' relatives as well.Instead of bluntly saying, "Your husband is disabled," a doctor might say, "I'm sorry, but your husband has lost feeling in his legs and."

  Tact should not be confused with trickery.Trickery occurs when a nurse is about to give a patient an injection(注射)and says, "This won't hurt a bit." Instead of trickery, the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing compared to the benefits of it.It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patients about some of these benefits.

  Tact is a wonderful skill to have, and tactful people are usually admired and respected.Without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in.

  Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides.Following the rules…planning your next move…acting as a team member…these are all "game" ideas that you will come across throughout your life.

  Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek.Such game s are entertaining and fun.But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dreams that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such an talking turns and cooperating(合作).

  Many children's games have a practical side.Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups.For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting.

  Many sports encourage national or local pride.The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition.People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who carried it.For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.

  Sports are also an event that unites people.Soccer is the most popular sport in the world.People on all continents play it-some for fun and some for a living.Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer.He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.

  Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, ________, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.

  Do you know what to look for when you watch dance? A great dancer can take your breath away.The following are four qualities to look for the next time you attend a dance performance.

  1.Turns and Leaps(跳跃)

  Turns and leaps are exciting to watch because they are difficult to perform.When watching a dancer turn, try to count the number of rotations(圈)completed.The more turns, the harder they are to do properly.Watch how the turns are brought to a complete stop-does the dancer lose her balance as she stops? Does she take extra little steps, or come to a clean, sudden stop?

  When it comes to leaps, height definitely adds a lot to the enjoyment of watching dance.But more important than the height of a leap is the dancer a ability to maintain a pose for a brief moment in mid-air.Watch also how ell the dancer controls the landing.

  2.Speed

  Faster dancing is usually, although the slow movements in ballet are also quite challenging.It takes a lot of practice to get many steps completed in a small amount of time.

  3.Extension(伸展)

  Extension refers to the height to which a dancer can stretch her legs into the air.For the average person, observing a dancer laying her leg alongside her head is truly remarkable.When observing extensions, watch for pointed toes and straight knees.They are less difficult with bent knees.

  4.Expressions

  A great dancer has the ability to make difficult steps appear simple.Every move a dancer makes should be completed with ease and appear enjoyable, even though it is at times very painful.Watch a dancer’s facial expression as she dances.Is she smiling with every hard landing? A great dancer’s movements will be spectacular, but appear to be so easy that you will want to see them over and over again.

1.What is the best title for the passage?(no more than 5 words)

2.What should you pay attention to when you are watching a dancer turn?(no more than 10 words)

3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words.(no more than 3 words)

4.What does the underlined word“They” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?(no more than 3 words)

5.Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 3 words)

A great dancer is able to make look easy to do.

  [1]Everyone makes mistakes.How do you react when a family member, friend, or a classmate makes a mistake? Some of us may shout out , complain, or punish.Unfortunately, these reactions to mistakes sometimes greatly hurt both sides.In fact, there is a better way to deal with a mistake.

  [2]Reframe(重组)"MISTAKE":Change "MISTAKE" into "MIS-TAKE."Doesn't that have a different feeling? Therefore, a mistake is not so bad as expected.We can learn from it and it is likely to lead to success in the end.

  [3]Use mistakes as an opportunity for learning.Most of us want to hide our mistakes, but we may be more willing to share our "MIS-TAKES" and let others learn from them.Either an individual or a family can benefit by openly recognizing and correcting mistakes, rather than pretending that they didn't happen.In fact, a mistake, if corrected quickly and in a creative way, can become ________ for learning.

  [4]Think of mistakes as opportunities to prove yourself.A mistake becomes an opportunity to create a close friend or customer.For example, in business, studies show that one of the things all customers want is recovery when the organization has made a mistake.They want us to apologize sincerely.With creative thinking, we can make them satisfied with the way we deal with a mistake.

  [5]We have learned to allow people around us to make mistakes.Now give them “protection” when they make a mistake.If you give people both permission and protection, you will get along well with them.Show them how they can turn a mistake into learning something about themselves so they don't make the same mistake again.

As a nation, we’re getting fatter

  In Britain, people with a healthy body weight are in the minority.

  Nearly two thirds of men(65%)and more than half of women(56%)are either overweight or obese(病态肥胖的).

  Nearly a quarter of men and women(24%)are obese.

  The number of overweight and obese people in the UK is increasing.A recent government report showed that if current trends continue, the majority of people in the country will be obese by 2050, including 60% of men and 40% of women.

  What is a healthy weight?

  You can find out whether your weight is within the healthy range by calculating your body mass index or BMI.Check your BMI using our BMI chart.

  For many people, it’s just not realistic to aim for a so-called “ideal weight” for your height.Instead of focusing on a target weight, it may be more helpful to work on changing your lifestyle, which can help you reach a healthier weight

  Small changes can have big effects

  Most people gain weight throughout their lives, often without realizing it.Very small changes can result in large weight gains over time, For example by simply eating an excess of 50 calories per day – just half a biscuit – you could gain 5 pounds or 2kg over a year.So in 5 years’ time you could be over 25 pounds or 10 kg heavier.

  But good news is that small changes of your lifestyle can lead reduction in body weight.This may sound simple, but in reality it takes commitment and effort to change the habits of a lifetime.The day-to-day choices we make about our lifestyle have the greatest effect on our weight.

  Losing weight and keeping it off!

  The best way to lose weight is to eat healthily, eat smaller amounts and _______.This will help you to take in less energy from food and increase the amount of energy you burn off by being more physically active.

Your friend may not talk about this with you, but you can still be a good friend.One out of four children lives with at least one adult who has alcoholism, so your friend is not alone.

  ●Be a good listener.Your friend may need someone to talk to.Listen to your friend and suggest that she or he talk to a trusted adult in addition to talking to you.You can offer a good listening ear, but sometimes an adult is needed for more serious things.Maybe you can suggest a caring adult for your friend to talk to, such as a teacher, a neighbor, or a grandparent.He will listen and support your friend, and he will not hurt your friend or put your friend down.

  ●Don’t spread gossip(闲话)about your friend’s family.It’s okay to tell your parents or another trusted adult what is going on, but respect your friend’s right by not telling other kids in your class.

  ●Ask your parents if your friend ________ your house, and then invite your friend over for enjoyable activities or to do homework together.Sometimes your friend might just need to get away and have fun being a kid.

  ●Don’t ride in a car when a friend’s parent has been drinking if you can avoid it.It is not safe.Call your parents, walk, or try to get a ride with an adult you know who has not been drinking.If you must get in the car with a drinking driver, sit in the middle of the back seat with your seat belt fastened.Lock your doors and try to stay calm.

  Michelle and Barney Wanstall rode off into the Lake District sunshine yesterday with no trouble at all.

  They were the first customers to try a new electric bicycle hire service aimed at tourists who want the fun of cycling without pain.“We wanted to go on a boat when we first got here,” explained Mr.Wanstall, a student.“But we saw these bikes and decided to hire them instead.”

  Brian Eaton, owner of Easyriders, which has a dozen bicycles for hire by the side of the lake near Coniston village, smiled as Michelle looked anxiously at Coniston Old Man, the mountain that towers over the village.

  “We do quite a lot of cycling at home,” said Michelle.“But with mountains everywhere, it’ll be easier if we ________.And it’s only £18 each for a day’s easy riding and the chance to enjoy some of the finest countryside in Britain!”

  The motorized bicycles helped the couple as soon as they began to pedal; they would have needed to use twice as much energy with a normal bicycle.The bicycles are very safe; they cannot go faster than 15 mph and the special tyres cannot be punctured.“It’s easy riding,” said Mr.Eaton.“There are a lot of people fancy cycling, but are not as fit as they used to be!”

  Riders are provided with helmets, maps, routes and suggestions for picnics and places to stay.Most electric bicycles are sold in Japan.However, Mr.Eaton thought they would be popular with tourists in the Lake District.“As far as I know, these are the only motorized bicycles for hire in the country,” he said.“If the idea is successful, I’ll set up other hire centres around Britain.”

1.This passage is mainly about ________.(within 10 words)

2.What are the two ways of going on a tour in the Lake District according to the passage?(within 8 words)
