Did Jane have a good time on Monday ?What about on Tuesday?
Monday ,July 15th
I arrived in Penang in Malaysia this morning with my family. ①
It was sunny and hot,so we decided to go to the beach near our hotel. ②
My sister and I tried paragliding. ③
I felt like I was a bird.It was so exciting !For lunch ,we had something very special-Malaysian yellow noodles.They were delicious!In the afternoon,we rode bicycles to Georgetown.④
There are a lot of new buildings now,but many of the old buildings are still there.In Weld Quay,a really old place in Georgetown,we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago. ⑤
I wonder what life was like here in the past.I really enjoyed walking around the town.
Tuesday ,July 16th

What a difference a day makes!My father and I decided
to go to Penang Hill today.We wanted to walk up to the top,but then it started raining a little so we decided to take the train. ⑦
We waited over an hour for the train because there were too many people.When we got to the top,it was raining really hard.We didn't have an umbrella so we were wet and cold.It was terrible!⑧
And because of the bad weather,we couldn't see anything below.⑨My father didn't bring enough money,so we only had one bowl of fish and rice.I was so hungry !But it tasted great!,

When people say “culture”,we think of art and history.①But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon.We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears—Mickey Mouse.②
Over 80 years ago,he first appeared in the cartoon SteamboatWillie . ③When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18,1928,it was the first cartoon with sound and music.The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. ④
He became very rich and successful.In the 1930s,he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.
Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular.One of the main r easons is that Mickey was like a common man ,but he always tried to face any danger.⑤In his early films,Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend ,Minnie. ⑥However ,he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win.Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.
On November 18,1978,Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.People today expect to see more than just a little mouse fighting bad guys,but many still know who he is.Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey's?,

Do You Think You Will Have Your Own Robot?
When we watch movies about the future ,we sometimes see robots.They are usually just like human servants. ①②
③,but robots will never get bored.
④
Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the
future. ⑤However ,they agree it may take hundreds of years.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as us.Some robots in Japan can even walk and dance.These kinds of robots are fun to watch.
But scientist James White thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the same things as a person.For example,it's easy for children to wake up and know where they are.⑥Mr.White thinks that robots won't be able to do this,but some scientists disagree.They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.
New robots will have many different shapes.Some will look like humans ,and others might look like snakes.

Hi David,
What a great idea !I really like Ms.Steen a lot.She helped me to improve my English so much.I'm sad to see her go,and this party is the best way to say “Thank you and goodbye.” I can help to buy some of the food and drinks.I can also help to bring Ms.Steen to the party.I already have a great idea about how to do that.
He Wei Hi David,
Thanks so much for planning this.I'd love to come to the party,but I'm not available.①
My family is taking a trip to Wuhan at the end of this month to visit my aunt and uncle.However ,I'd still be glad to help out with any of the party preparations,like planning the games.Let me know if you need my help.
Jake
Dear classmates,
As I'm sure you know by now,our favorite teacher,Ms.Steen ,is leaving soon to go back to the US.We're very sad that she's leaving because she is a fun teacher.To show how much we're going to miss her,let's have a surprise party for her next Friday the 28th!
Can you come to the party?If so,can you help with any of these things?
Please tell me by this Friday. 1) Buy food and drinks. 2) Think of games to play.
3) Prepare things we need for the games(glue,paper ,pens ,...) .

great time!
Section A 2d
Jeff :Hey ,Ben.For the party next week,should we ask people to bring food?
Ben :No ,let's order food from a restaurant.If we ask people to bring food ,they'll just bring potato chips and chocolate because they'll be too lazy to cook.
Jeff :OK.For the games,do you think we should give people some same way as Laura.“It is best not to run away from our problems. ⑤We should always try to solve them. ” He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to.This person doesn't need to be an expert like himself. ⑥Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them,and are always there to help them. ⑦In English,we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half.So you're small gifts if they win?
Ben :I think that's a great idea!If we do that,more people will want to play the games.
Jeff :Yes ,the games will be more exciting,too.,

Students these days often have a lot of worries:Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork,and sometimes with their friends.What can they do about this ?Some people believe the worst thing is to do nothing.Laura Mills ,a teenager from London ,agrees.“Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura.“But I think talking to someone helps a lot.②
Unless we talk to someone,we'll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her wallet,and worried for days.She was afraid to tell her parents about it.She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money.She just kept thinking,“If I tell my parents ,they'll be angry!” ③

Did Jane have a good time on Monday ?What about on Tuesday?
Monday ,July 15th
I arrived in Penang in Malaysia this morning with my family. ①

My sister and I tried paragliding. ③
I felt like I was a bird.It was so exciting !For lunch ,we had something very special-Malaysian yellow noodles.They were delicious!In the afternoon,we rode bicycles to Georgetown.④
There are a lot of new buildings now,but many of the old buildings are still there.In Weld Quay,a really old place in Georgetown,we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago. ⑤
I wonder what life was like here in the past.I really enjoyed walking around the town.

When people say “culture”,we think of art and history.①But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon.We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears—Mickey Mouse.②
Over 80 years ago,he first appeared in the cartoon SteamboatWillie . ③When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18,1928,it was the first cartoon with sound and music.The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. ④
He became very rich and successful.In the 1930s,he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.
Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular.One of the main r easons is that Mickey was like a common man ,but he always tried to face any danger.⑤In his early films,Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend ,Minnie. ⑥However ,he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win.Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.
On November 18,1978,Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.People today expect to see more than just a little mouse fighting bad guys,but many still know who he is.Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey's?,

Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the
future. ⑤However ,they agree it may take hundreds of years.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as us.Some robots in Japan can even walk and dance.These kinds of robots are fun to watch.
But scientist James White thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the same things as a person.For example,it's easy for children to wake up and know where they are.⑥Mr.White thinks that robots won't be able to do this,but some scientists disagree.They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.
New robots will have many different shapes.Some will look like humans ,and others might look like snakes.

Hi David,
What a great idea !I really like Ms.Steen a lot.She helped me to improve my English so much.I'm sad to see her go,and this party is the best way to say “Thank you and goodbye.” I can help to buy some of the food and drinks.I can also help to bring Ms.Steen to the party.I already have a great idea about how to do that.
He Wei Hi David,
Thanks so much for planning this.I'd love to come to the party,but I'm not available.①
My family is taking a trip to Wuhan at the end of this month to visit my aunt and uncle.However ,I'd still be glad to help out with any of the party preparations,like planning the games.Let me know if you need my help.
Jake
Dear classmates,
As I'm sure you know by now,our favorite teacher,Ms.Steen ,is leaving soon to go back to the US.We're very sad that she's leaving because she is a fun teacher.To show how much we're going to miss her,let's have a surprise party for her next Friday the 28th!
Can you come to the party?If so,can you help with any of these things?
Please tell me by this Friday. 1) Buy food and drinks. 2) Think of games to play.
3) Prepare things we need for the games(glue,paper ,pens ,...) .

Section A 2d
Jeff :Hey ,Ben.For the party next week,should we ask people to bring food?
Ben :No ,let's order food from a restaurant.If we ask people to bring food ,they'll just bring potato chips and chocolate because they'll be too lazy to cook.
Jeff :OK.For the games,do you think we should give people some same way as Laura.“It is best not to run away from our problems. ⑤We should always try to solve them. ” He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to.This person doesn't need to be an expert like himself. ⑥Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them,and are always there to help them. ⑦In English,we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half.So you're small gifts if they win?
Ben :I think that's a great idea!If we do that,more people will want to play the games.
Jeff :Yes ,the games will be more exciting,too.,
Section B 2b
a .If people have problems,they should get advice from an expert. b .If people have problems,they should talk to other people. c .①
