I like going to shopping malls. I also like going to the cinema and the

theater.

Sometimes I go to museums and art galleries, too.

I went shopping with my best friend last weekend. After that we went to a

café and

had a cup of coffee. Yes, I enjoyed it because I took a break from study

and I had a good time with my best friend. / No, I didn't enjoy it because

there were too many people in the store. Besides, it was so noisy in the

café that my friend and I could hardly hear each other.

1I admire my mother most. She loves my brother and me so much that she

would do everything for us. At the same time, she always encourages us to

be independent and try our best to do what we like. As a teacher, she has

also set a good example for me.

She has worked as a primary school teacher for about 30 years and she has

never got tired of her work. She spends a lot of time helping her students,

especially those with learning difficulties. I'm very proud of her. Live and

work with pleasure – this is what I have learned from her.

2 1. Baruti was born in the year (1962).

2. He was the (fourth / 4th)child in a very big family.

3. Baruti married his wife in (1990)

4. Together they opened an orphanage in (1996)

3Baruti was born in Johannesburg. His father was a 1)(teacher)and his

mother 2)(cleaned houses)for rich people. When Baruti was in school, one

of his friends 3)(lost)his parents and moved to an orphanage. Baruti

4)(visited)him and when he saw his life there, he decided to 5)(work)with

orphans. Later he opened an orphanage with 6)(his wife).

Baruti regards Mother Teresa as his hero and his favorite book is Long

Walk to Freedom, the story of Nelson Mandela's life 7)(in his own words).

4Mother Teresa's words tell us that small things can make a great

difference. Few of us can do anything great, but we can all do small things

with great love.

My favorite book is Steve Jobs. The book is based on more than 40

interviews with Jobs conducted over two years as well as interviews with

more than 100 family members, friends, foes, competitors, and colleagues.

Jobs spoke honestly about the people he worked with and competed

against. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly too. So

through the book, readers can not only read about the life of the

legendary Steve Jobs, but also have a genuine view of his personality that

shaped his approach to business and his products.

When I was seven years old, my parents bought a new wall clock with an

owl inside. I was very curious about how the owl moved its eyes and gave

out sound. One day, I took the clock off the wall, and took it apart with a

screwdriver. After an hour, I still couldn't figure out how the clock worked,

and I couldn't put all the parts together. I was scared. But when my father

found what I had done, instead of scolding me, he praised me for my

eagerness to learn. And he taught me how to assemble the clock.

This experience made me love my father more. And more importantly, I fell

in love with mechanics since then. That's why I chose mechanics as my

major.

There are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the

new college students may have been to camp or 1)(programs /

programmes)away from home before, but for some it's the 2)(very)first

time they've left home. That means having to make certain

3)(decisions)that they've never really had to make before.

Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4)(doing

laundry), there are many more important matters, such as whom to

become friends with. "And what happens if I don't do well on my first test?

Does that mean I should change fields?"

5)(Obviously), there are just so many issues new college students have to

face. It's really

a jump from high school.

It's such a change when they don't have any parents around. They need to

how to act

This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes a little

while for them to 8)(get used to)their college life and learn to balance their

studies and social lives.

There are a lot of 9)(opportunities)for students to try new things. There are

so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it's

not working for them, they can 10)(step back)and try something else. They

should just give it a go! That's the way everybody learns to grow up.

5The man I like should be strong and fit, without a beard. And he should

not have long hair. The woman I like most is someone who is slim and

healthy. She should have long hair and big eyes. And I like girls who smile

a lot. I believe everyone has something beautiful about them, regardless of

age, race, gender, size, ability, etc. I don't think being lighter or slimmer

equals beauty. Instead, I think the inner self counts a lot more than outer

appearance. Virtues such as honesty, hard-working, and willingness to help

make one a beautiful person. / Beauty is what we see and feel. So my idea

of beauty is what is pleasing to the eyes. As long as it makes you feel good,

it is beauty. So both inner qualities and body features are important

factors to make one look beautiful. Of course, what one considers beautiful

may not appear the same to someone else. That is why beauty standards

are different from person to person, culture to culture and

time to time.

The ideas of beauty have changed over the past several decades in China.

Truly, on the one hand, many still stick to the idea that one's inner quality

counts more than outer appearance. Honesty, hard-working, generosity,

and kindness are considered inner beauty. On the other hand, more and

more people think outer appearance is more important. Nowadays, many

people, especially young people, hold some new ideas about beauty. For

example, long straight black hair used to be thought as one feature of

beauty, but now young people want to look stylish by having their hair

curled and dyed. They follow the fashion trend and put on fashionable

clothes and wear make-up. More people are afraid of not looking

attractive enough. So they go on diet to look thinner and receive some

cosmetic surgeries to look better. Still many others realize that it is

important to live a healthy lifestyle and learn to love their own body for its

uniqueness.

I don't think it is wise to judge a person by his / her appearance because

appearance

is superficial. Sometimes the appearance of a person may mislead your

judgment when it doesn't match well with the inner part of that person.

For example, an ordinary-looking person can be a scientist, a hero, or a

great thinker. Just as the proverb goes, "Never judge a book by its cover."

The greatness of a book lies in its content instead of its cover. So it is with

a person. Instead of focusing only on one's appearance, we should get to

know more about that person's education, life experiences and life attitude

before we make any judgment.

the River Thames. / No, I haven't been to London.

so much about, such as Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Buckingham

Palace, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey. I would also like to take the Tube

happened in 1)(Australia) … when I was about 25. I spent a few days

at a hotel in

Alice Springs and went to Ayers Rock and … Well, anyway, one day, I went

I guess I thought I’d find the way back. Um … anyway, after that I heard

remembered some advice I, I, er … um, I … I read in my guidebook:

5)(Don't move), and don't look at 6)(the dogs).

So I froze, like a statue … I didn't move … and I looked at a tree, not at the

dogs, and didn't move my eyes. The dogs were all around me, jumping

and barking … I thought they were going to bite me. Then one dog did

bite my arm, just a little, but still I didn’t move. In the end, after about 20

minutes, the dogs went away. I stayed there for a few more minutes and

then luckily found my way back to the hotel. It was the most

I was 12 years old and just graduated from elementary school, I

went to Beijing

wanted to watch the Chinese basketball team playing and I especially

wanted to see Yao Ming playing. First, we tried to buy tickets online, but all

tickets for basketball games had been sold out. Of course, I was very

disappointed. Then we went to the stadium to see if someone would be

selling extra tickets. After we waited for hours, we became hopeless. But

just when we were about to leave, a man came up to us and said he had an

extra ticket because his friend couldn't make it due to an emergency. We

were overjoyed. Immediately, my dad bought the ticket, and told me to

rush in – he would wait outside. Finally, I was able to

watch the game between the Chinese team and the German team. I

enjoyed the game greatly and I was excited when China won. The best

thing was that I saw Yao Ming. What

a wonderful experience!

Some parts of the earth are more likely to have earthquakes than other

fires, floods, and landslides. A powerful earthquake 5)(occurred) in

Yellowstone National Park on August 17, 1959. The earthquake was

6)(massive) and very strong. It also caused the worst landslides in US

history since 1927.

Yellowstone, because they were afraid they would be 7)(caught) in such a

fear would 8)(keep us away from) beautiful mountains for the rest of our

earthquake like the Yellowstone one does not happen frequently at all. We

Humans' first means of transportation were walking and swimming.

1)(Gradually), humans learned to use animals for transportation. The use of

animals not only allowed heavier loads to be hauled by them, but also

2)(enabled) humans to ride the animals so they could travel longer

distances in a shorter amount of time. The invention of the wheel helped

make animal transportation more efficient through the introduction of

3)(vehicles).

Also, water transportation 4)(dates back to) very early times and it was the

best way to move large quantities of materials over long distances before

the Industrial Revolution.

5)(As a result), most cities that grew up as sites for trading have been

established along

rivers or the coast.

Until the Industrial Revolution, transportation was very slow and expensive.

After the Revolution, transportation changed 6)(thoroughly). In the 19th

century, the invention of the steam engine made land transportation

independent of human or animal power. Both speed and 7)(capacity)

increased rapidly.

With the development of cars at the 8)(turn) of the 20th century, land

transportation became more common. In 1903, the first controllable

airplane was invented, and after World War I, it became a fast way to

transport people and goods. After World War II,

9)(automobiles) and airplanes became more popular as methods of

transportation. Then,

after high-speed rail was first introduced in Japan in 1964, passengers

started using it in Asia and Europe instead of using airplanes to travel long

distances.

Now, 10)(thanks to) the development of technology, human beings are

able to enjoy various methods of transportation for their speed and

comfort.

Most people like to keep a healthy diet during the holiday season starting

from Thanksgiving to Christmas and New Year. There are many social

events to 1)(celebrate) and we love to look our best. We also need healthy

food to 2)(provide us with) the energy necessary to go to all of these

parties with enthusiasm.

But the unfortunate reality is that many of us have a hard time 3)(sticking

to) healthy eating habits during the holidays. We face more 4)(challenges)

at this time than we do during the rest of the year. Starting from

Thanksgiving, many of us are already

5)(anticipating) gaining some weight. The holiday season is when we bring

out abundant

and delicious food. Turkey, ham, cakes and other great foods attract us to

eat larger

6)(portions) than we need. Many of us are more likely than usual to 7)(stuff)

ourselves,

and not always with the healthiest food. Moreover, the holiday season is a

busy, and often stressful, time of year. We are rushing too much, spending

too much, and letting stress

8)(take hold of) us too often. This can lead to emotional eating, that is,

eating too much

or too little.

Luckily, there are some 9)(effective) ways to fight holiday eating problems.

Learn about the causes of and solutions for emotional eating. Eat some

healthy food before you go to a party so that you won't eat too much

there. Exercise after the party is over. All these

10)(strategies) can help you curb holiday eating without reducing your

holiday joy.

first man. I go to the gym quite regularly. I go for runs, too. But I do not go

6-3 Listening

1.I think this may be true. As people are increasingly realizing the

importance of health,

they would get rid of unhealthy foods and eat only healthy foods. / I don't

think this will be true. People enjoy different kinds of food. So a diet

without a variety of food will be too boring and life will sound dull and

meaningless.

2. Food pills may become more popular, but I don't think they can be a

substitute for

normal meals. They can be supplementary to normal meals, but they

should not be the standard food because they are not as healthy as real

food. Besides, we are accustomed to eating different kinds of food with

different kinds of flavors. Life will be boring if we could only eat food pills.

/ I think this prediction will be true. As the pace of life is getting faster,

people are looking for convenient and efficient way to eat. Food pills could

be the solution.

3. I don't think this will happen. Certain food has certain flavor. When

people get the same

food, it should taste the same. It's hard to imagine that the same food can

change its flavor for different people. / I think this may happen. In the

future, with some advanced technology, it may be possible to program

different flavors for the same kind of food. As

a result, with the same food, different people can have different flavors by

simply pushing

might happen, but it won't happen soon. In fact, there is enough

food in today's

world for everyone, but it is not available to some people who need it.

2. I agree. Although we all know that junk food is not good for health, it is

very likely that

people will eat more unhealthily in the future. As the modern pace of life is

getting quicker, people will have to eat fast food more frequently for

convenience.

3. I don't agree. Although more people have realized the negative effect of

eating too

much meat, I don't think people will stop eating animals in the future. The

human body needs meat and meat is delicious.

4. This may happen. With the ever expanding population, there will not be

enough food

for everyone in the world. This may lead to a rise in food prices. As a result,

many people will have to grow their own food, because otherwise, they

would have to spend a large sum of money on food.

5. This may happen. Actually, in recent years, there is an increasing

tendency that people

are spending less time with their family. With competition getting stronger,

many people have to work overtime and return home late, so they do not

have enough free time to eat with their family members. This situation will

probably get worse in the future.

6. I don't agree. Although it's getting popular to order food online, I don't

think the next

generation may thus not know how to cook. Cooking is not difficult to

learn. The next generation may spend less time on cooking, but they will

certainly cook because this is life and cooking can be an interesting hobby.

There are many factors that affect a person's sleep. Stress is the number

one cause of short-term sleeping difficulties. Stressful situations include

school- or job-related

1)(pressures), and serious illness in the family. Usually the sleeping

problems 2)(disappear)

when the stressful situations pass. However, if short-term sleeping

problems are not managed properly from the beginning, they can last long

and thus 3)(compromise) good health.

Unhealthy habits may lead to sleeping problems, too. Drinking coffee or

4)(alcohol) in the afternoon or evening, exercising close to bedtime,

following an irregular morning and nighttime schedule, and working or

doing other mentally 5)(intense) activities right before or after getting into

bed can interrupt sleep.

Traveling also 6)(interferes with) sleep, especially traveling across several

time zones. This can 7)(undermine) your biological rhythms and cause

sleep disorders such as trouble falling asleep and trouble remaining asleep.

Environmental factors such as a room that's too hot or cold, too noisy or

too bright can be an obstacle to sound sleep. Other influences to 8)(pay

attention to) are the comfort

and size of your bed and the habits of your sleep partner. If you have to

sleep beside someone who has different sleeping habits, breathes in a

noisy way, or 9)(suffers from) other sleeping difficulties, it often becomes

your problem too!

Having a 24/7 lifestyle can also interrupt regular sleep patterns. Industries

are working round the clock to be 10)(competitive), so some people have

to work at night; with nonstop automatic communication systems, people

are communicating day and night.

mammals. They live their entire lives in the ocean. Because they are rare to

According to a new study, happiness in life has more to do with respect

and influence than wealth. Researchers say that they got interested in this

idea because there is abundant 1)(evidence) that higher income or wealth

does not contribute to happiness much at all. At the same time, many

theories suggest that higher status should 2)(enhance) happiness.

The researchers put their idea to the test in a set of studies. First, they

3)(interviewed) 80 college students. The amount of respect the students

received from their peers was

4)(rated) based on peer evaluation, self-reports and the number of

leadership positions

the students held. The researchers also 5)(took into account) the students'

family income and asked them about their social well-being. They found

the admiration the students received from their peers 6)(forecast) their

social well-being. However, their wealth or income did not.

Similar results 7)(emerged) in another study with a larger group of

students.

In a final study, the researchers followed graduate students in business

schools. They found the MBA students' social well-being 8)(was related to)

changes in the respect they felt from their peers before and after

graduation. They noted that respect had more to do with the students'

well-being after graduation than the money they made.

One of the reasons why money doesn't buy happiness is that people

quickly 9)(adapt themselves to) the new level of income or wealth. Lottery

winners, for example, are initially happy but then return to their

10)(original) level of happiness quickly. What can last is the feeling of

being respected, having influence and being socially connected.
