1．_________

After I had spent a week with my English family, I slowly began to understand their English a little better．　　2　　Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects(方言)are different too! Some of their accents are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions 　　3　　 Before I came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day．That’s quite wrong! I get rather annoyed now when I hear all the foolish words about typical English food．

I had expected to see “London fog”．Do you remember our texts about it? We had no idea that most of this “thick fog” disappeared many years ago when people stopped using coal in their homes．But the idea to speak about weather was very helpful．　　4　　 On the other hand, habits are different．People tell me what is typical British here in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland 　　5　　

But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditions(传统)．Probably Britain has more living signs of its past than many other countries．And people have always been proud of having ancient(古老)buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside．

I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters．

Love from Britain．

Peter

A．The weather in London is really changeable．

B．I have difficulty in understanding my classmates．

C．Thanks for your nice letter．

D．The family I live with are friendly．

E．It’s very different from what I learned at school．

　　Bored at school now? How do you think it will look in the future? Last week, about 600 teenagers in the U．S．imagined a future changed by technology in which their lessons are taught by robots and they learn about celebrities(名人)and alien(外星人)languages．

　　According to a survey published last week by the U．S．,Internet service provider American Online(AOL), only one in 100 thinks that in the future they will walk from home to school; the rest believe they will use jet packs, and hover boards(滑板)as everyday transport．

　　All the participants(参与者)of the survey are teenagers born into the Internet age．The study is to show how the first cyber(网络的)generation dream about a future life created by advanced technology．

　　Most believe there will still be schools to go to, but that technology will play an increasingly important role in learning．The 600 teens surveyed think there will still be teachers, but 37 percent imagine them to be robots．Some 24 percent believe that teachers will still be human but they will have inter-changeable microchips so that one person can teach all subjects．

　　More than one in two believe hover boarding will be popular, while one-third say that wearing rocket boots will be their favorite activity．Another third think jet packs will be popular．Nearly 30 percent think playing football and bike-riding will remain popular．

　　When it comes to the curriculum(课程), they think future generations will be learning about robot building(63 percent), alien languages(47 percent)celebrities(26 percent)and R’n’B music(22 percent)．

　　Children will wear virtual(虚拟的)reality helmets(头盔)to bring lessons to life, say 40 percent, while over 20 percent believe they will not need lessons because microchips implanted(植入)in their head will send relevant information into the brain．Matt Whyman, adviser to the chief medical officer on youth issues of AOL, said：“ The kids seem very aware of the liberation qualities of technology．”

PART FOUR WRITING

SECTION A Directions：Read the following passage．Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer．

　　Some children are natural-born bosses．They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow．Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, “operates under the theory of what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine,” says his mother．“The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers(剑)．Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones．”

　　“Examine the extended family, and you’ll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation．It’s an inheritable trait,” says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina．Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance(支配地位)when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other．

　　Whether it’s inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands of the young isn’t healthy for children or the family．“Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behaviour,” says family psychologist John Taylor．“Children,” he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness and a desire to feel safe．It’s the parents’ role to provide that protection．”

　　When a “boss child” doesn’t learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family．The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends．It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways．

　　“I see more and more parents giving up their power,” says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years．“They bend too far because they don’t want to be as strict as their own parents were．But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills．Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious．”

　　So for the sake of the children, parents should be strict with them in a suitable way and get more knowledge to be good parents．

　　In many countries today, laws protect wildlife．In India, the need for such protection was realized centuries ago．About 300 B．C, 　　1　　 Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today．The killing of game beasts was carefully supervised(监管)．Some animals were fully protected．　　2　　 the forest, nobody was allowed to cut timber, burn wood for charcoal, 　　3　　 catch animals for their furs．Animals 　　4　　 became dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the park, so that other animals would not become uneasy．

　　The need for wildlife protection is 　　5　　 now than ever before．About a thousand species of animals are 　　6　　 danger of dying out, and the rate at which 　　7　　 are being destroyed has increased．　　8　　 we took no measures to protect wildlife, some day our children would see no living creatures except man himself．

　　To lose weight, exercise alone isn't enough, since people sit too much today．That's what the latest research has shown．The research was led by Marc Hamilton at the University of Missouri．

　　Scientists have been wondering why so many people exercise every day but are still very fat．This research was designed to find out the reason．In the experiments, Hamilton used a few lab mice and pigs．Twelve persons also volunteered in the experiment．The lab animals were injected(注射)with a small amount of fat．When the animals were sitting, lipase(脂肪分解酵素)went down to 10％ of normal after several hours．The research team got the same result from the experiments with humans．

　　"It was hard to believe at first, but it's true．" said Hamilton．"Many people exercise daily but they spend too more time sitting the rest of the day．The longer people are sitting, the more fat they will get．" Hamilton suggested, "Keep exercising every day, but remember to stand up and take a walk from time to time during the day．"
