Good morning，boys and girls．Today I'll talk about going online．

We know that there are too many net bars around us．The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable．Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer and can get more information from the Internet．We can learn English．We can read some good newspapers and magazines．It can make us clever in playing computer games．We can send e-mails to our friends quickly．We can chat freely online with our friends．It can help us to get in touch with people from all over the world．

But every coin has two sides．Net bars also bring us a lot of trouble．For example，some students spend too much time in playing compute games and some stay in the net bars all day and all night．Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online．They write too many letters to each other．It takes them too much time to chat online，so they do worse and 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 or at the weekend．

At the same time，if we have lots of free time，we can do some out-of-class activities at school．We usually have activities from 4：50 to 5：50 in the afternoon．We can play basketball or football on Monday or Thursday afternoon．We can join some interests groups in school，such as drawing or reading on Tuesday afternoon，or singing and dancing on Wednesday afternoon．we can go to the English Corner on Friday afternoon．We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities．

Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party instead.

      While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, "Why not invite John?” John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in math than anyone else in class. I wrinkled(皱起) my nose, “Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?“ Mum said nothing. The next day. mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate in it. “I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John.” Mum said. But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.

     On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently. John arrived, in an old sheet (床单), but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, "Now it's time for the great prize game. It’ s the following riddle..." It was a math game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.

     Everything went on well as we planned. John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week. He felt happy. So did we.

     When we help others, we need to find a proper way, or we may hurt them in another way.

1.The two girls and John were in the same________

            A. group        B. family              C. team              D. class

2.John' s family may be very              according to the passage.

            A. far          B. poor               C. rich               D. small

3.How did John get the prize, during the party?

            A. By helping others.                  B. By asking for help.

            C. By getting good grades in study.       D. By winning the math game.

4.John _________with the shopping certificate after the party.

            A. watched a basketball match          B. saw a movie

            C. bought something to wear           D. made a phone call

5.The two girls felt ______when they found John wearing his new clothes.

            A. happy       B. sorry               C . sad             D. angry

It's the end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on* to their micro blogs to check the interesting things that have happened in the last hour.
　　Since last year, the trend* of micro blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update* their blogs over five times per day.
　　"We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop."
　　It is also a great place for students to let out stress. "My parents always ask me to study all the time, and encourage me before exams, but it really adds pressure," said Simon Zhang, 15. "When I share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better."
　　But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.
　　Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children. "If parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems," he said. He also gives some tips for kids.
　　---Don't micro blog for more than one hour a day.
　　---Never micro blog in class.
　　---Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.
　　---Be critical*. Don't trust all the messages on a micro blog.
【小题1】The underlined part "out of the loop" in the passage probably means                 .

Dear Peter,

How about you study? It’s Sunday today I’m writing a letter to you. I’m going to tell you .I’m going to tell you about things in Beijing.

Beijing is different from London. In our country, we drive on the left side of the road, but here people drive on the right side. Most people go to work by bus or by bike. The rush hours(高峰时间) are from seven to nine in the morning and five to seven in the afternoon. People in China work around eight hours a day, five days a week. They usually begin to work at eight in the morning, and rest on Saturday and Sunday.

I have Chinese classes every morning from Monday to Friday. The students in our class are from many countries. We’re all working hard and friendly. The Chinese students are ready to help us with our Chinese .We also help them a lot with their English. We’re getting along very well（相处的融洽）

That’s all for today. Please write tome soon.

Yours,

Susan

2.People drive on _____in London.
