She climbed a mountain.For eight days in May, Minnal hiked nearly 100 kilometres to reach the 5364-metre-high Everest(珠穆朗玛峰) base camp in Nepal. The girl talked about her special trip, “I think this was a meaningful climb for me.” Minnal has to wait for some years to climb the Everest because climbers have to be at least sixteen years to climb the peak.How did it all start? It all began last year when Minnal’s mother decided she might want to climb the famous Himalayas. As a good hiker, she asked both father and daughter if they were up for the challenge(挑战）.This year, on 20 May, the family flew to Nepal.Minnal told that most of the eight days were spent hiking ten to fifteen kilometres from 8a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. With the help of three local guides, they didn’t lose their way. Luckily, nobody fell ill. She also said that she is thinking of climbing Everest in the future.How brave the girl is!

We do love them, but are they good students? And what makes a good student?Most people in China think about that getting good grades is important to a student. So, to someone, being a model student means being a top student in studies in the class. “A good student should always get good grades. Xia Xue is a much better student than her brother, Liu Xing,” says Wang Lin, a student from Wuxi in Jiangsu Province.However, a student’s personality is more important than being a model student.Many students think it is a bad idea to judge(评判) a student only by his or her grades. Take the boy, Liu Xing, for example, he is clever, good at computers and does many things better than other 14-year-old boys. Do you think he is good or bad?81.

Today I’ll give you a talk about going online.We know that there are too many Net bars(网吧) around us. The Internet makes our lives interesting. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we send e-mails to our friends,they can get them right away. It can help us keep in touch with people from all over the world.But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the Net bars all day and all night. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. I hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.That’s all!

School life is full of fun, and the school seems to be the safest place in the world.But do you know that our school life could be dangerous i f we are not careful enough? Howdo we make the school safer and keep us away from danger? Here are some tips for us to be safein an easy way. For example, we must remember some important rules in the playground. Beforewe do sports, we need to do some warm up activities(热身运功),and after that we should drinksome water. And in the classroom, we need to learn how to behave well. Don’t run in the hallways.We mustn’t fight with or run after each other. And teachers need to keep an eye on the studentsafter class and stop them from running. We students should remember not to be naughty and getinto trouble. What’s more, we can have some practice to learn to protect ourselves from a fire. Inthis way, we can know where to go if there is a fire in our school. We should learn to use the fire extinguisher（灭火器）,too. I don’t think we should put our a fire by ourselves, because it is too dangerous for young students. Well, I think all of us should think more of our safety in school.How to keep___(66)______in the schoolIn the playgroundDo some warm up activities__(67)____doing sports Drink some water___(68)_____doing sportsIn the __(69)____ Don’t run in the hallways.Teachers need to__(70)___their students carefully.

Things have changed.China has decided to take action to stop the use of free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using plastic bags. The rule(规定) started on June 1. It came because our country tried to make litter less.The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they made the environment pollution(污染) more serious and wasted a lot of energy as well. People throw the used plastic bags away here and there. The thrown-away plastic bags are not easy to break. So the Chinese government encourages people to bring their own bags or baskets for shopping.What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students have good ideas. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags or baskets for shopping. They think it is their duty to protect the environment.Stop using free plastic bagsGovernment’s____________(76) Supermarkets and shops don’t______________(77) people with free plastic bags from June 1st,2008 on.People have to ___________(78) for plastic bags.Reasons for stopping the use of free plastic bags Plastic bags can________(79) the environment and_______ (80) a lot of energy.People throw the used plastic away_________(81) and they are ____________(82) to break up.Our country wants to make litter________(83), and ________(84) the environment.(五)Our English teacher, Tom Jackson, has some good friends.

However, sometimes it can really be as easy as going out to the park and walking by the river. The places for hiking should be far awa y from the cars and the noise. Here’s some useful advice for people to go hiking.First of all, when you choose your first hike, you should be careful. If you choose a too easy one, you’ll still have a nice day outside to enjoy. However, if you choose a to o hard one, you may be very tired and can’t have a good time.Secondly, it’s good for a beginner to join a group. The people in a group can help each other.

But don’t worry because most of them are so small that they cannot be felt. Only a few hurt people. Many earthquakes happen in China ,too. Are you ready for the next earthquake? We have some advice for you on how to keep safe in an earthquake. When the earthquake happens, protect yourself first. The life is the most important because where there is a l ife, there is hope. Don’t go back to get your money or other things.If you are at home, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows because anything may fall on you.If you are outdoors, try to move away from buildings and streetlights. They may fall on you. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don’t run outside. Everyone will run outside so that people may hurt each other. Hide under a desk. Don’t get into a lift during an earthquake.If you are in a moving car, drive to the side of the road, stop as quick ly as possible, and stay in the car. Do not try to drive across bridges.

Then, as you are still chewing, let go of your nose. Do you taste the difference?The sense of taste and the sense of smell work together as you eat The taste buds (味蕾）on your tongue have 4 nerve receptors(神经感受元）in them. They can respond to only four different tastes—sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All the other hundreds of tastes come from how foods smell to you.Foods give off invisible (无形的)fumes (烟，气）that breathe into your nasal, passages (鼻道）. The olfactory (嗅觉的）or smelling nerves (嗅感神经) react to these fumes and you become aware of (意识到）the specific smell of these foods.When you have a cold, however, your nasal passages are clogged (阻塞,填满）with mucus (黏液).Your sense of smell is cut off，just as it is when you hold your nose.When you can’t smell the foods you eat, it becomes hard to tell them apart.

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago,but it has also brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution.Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world. Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad to all living things in the world. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.

The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are so many people.（九）Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”?This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence(智力）of others.Some people have minds that stand out only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for (摸索）words and talks in a halting (踌踏的）manner. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently (雄辩地,有说服力地).Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计)their intelligence by putting up a good front(举止). A student who listens attentively and takes notes is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams，he may score near the bottom of the class.It all boils down to this—you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe(观察）how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate(正确的) your judgement is likely to be.( )1. The best title for the passage is “_______”.A. Judging IntelligenceB. Choosing a BookC.

The passage suggests that in judging a person’s intelligence we should _______.A. use caution (小心）B. be creativeC. rely on intuition (直觉）D. give him an IQ test（十）Four students are discussing about which city is modern in America.Sandy: I’d have to say probably Portland，Oregon. Maybe Miami is a contender (竞争者).Amy：Really? Portland? Portland always seems，a bit dirty to me. Not really run-down(衰弱的），but just a bit behind in comparison(比较)to Seattle and Miami. Portland doesn’t really have anything that stands out as modern to me. I love that city though!Simon：I was actually going to ask the same thing. Yeah, I’d have to agree thatPortland is pretty bad. It doesn’t add up according to the criteria (标准)of the modern city architecture (建筑）,technology and transport system(交通系统).1. Other cities are much more tech-oriented (技术导向的).2. Most of the houses in Portland are older, with only a few newer flats or office buildings.3.The MAX light rail isn’t anything special，and neither are buses or streetcars.Eddie: So really? Portland?
