Boys and girls, I think most of you like traveling. But usually, people feel excited before a tour, but during it, they may feel they are not well prepared for it. After it they feel it is not worth the tour. Then how can you make your tour more interesting and meaningful? Here is some advice.

Firstly—Look! Certainly we should look at the scenery very carefully. Also, before we leave our house, we should find some books about the place of interest. We should first know something about the place, such as its geography, its history and its famous people etc. When we are ready for the tour, we can really understand the place during our tour even if we don’t have much time.

Secondly—Take photos! When we visit a place of interest, most of us take a camera. If you want to take some photos, remember to choose the most special sights. Don’t choose the sight that we can see in other places. For example, Beidaihe, Qingdao and Zhuhai are coastal cities. Don’t only take photos of the sea. You should take something else, too.

Thirdly—Taste! Some people like to buy some food that they like most during their tour. In my opinion, don’t buy the food that you like mo st because you can buy it in your own city or town. You had better taste something special in the place of interest. Snacks in some place are very delicious. And from a place’s snacks, you can find its food culture. So why not taste them? Maybe you have just one chance to taste it in your life.

Fourthly—Write! When you visit a place, you should take a pen and a notebook, so you can write something down about what you see and what you think during the tour. After the tour, you can rewrite what you have put down. It’s possible that you can write a good article. Later, when you read it, you will feel that you can find the pleasure during the tour.

Have a good time!

Mr. and Mrs. Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past, staying in a small inn (旅馆) at the foot of a hill. One year ,however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around that famous city.

They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served after seven. They were therefore surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night.

“Are you still serving dinner?” asked Mr. Smith.

“Yes, certainly, sir.” Answered the man. “We serve it until half past nine.”

“And when do yo u serve the meal in a day?” Mr. Smith went on asking.

“Well, sir.” answered the man. “We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine.”

There are different reasons why the cancers appear to be on the increase. For one thing, though their sufferers are to be found in all age groups, cancers are especially likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years. Naturally, since people live longer these days, there are more cancer sufferers than formerly. Again, with better methods of diagnosis(诊断) ,doctors can more readily recognize cancerous(癌症的) growths that would formerly have passed unnoticed or that would have been wrongly diagnosed. It is believed too, that certain habits and conditions of modem living, including heavy smoking and the pollution of the air, may leave people living in more

cancer-causing conditions than before.

We all look forward to the day when a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small. Researchers around the world are working on such a test. Most of their work deals with the examination of the blood.

Researchers In Boston has found something in the blood of cancer patients that does not appear in healthy persons .The test showed which person had cancer and which did not. It was correct more than 90 percent of the time.

The researchers believe the test may be able to show cancer very early in its development. Cancers discovered early usually can be treated successfully.

The researchers say the new test could be a step to developing a simple way to check patients for cancer before the disease shows on X-ray.

I was bleeding now. My ears were red, my nose was broken, and the pain of failure was beginning. I had lost. It was over. The match was stopped. The world seemed to stand still for a moment as I looked at who had beaten me. “I’ve lost,” I said in m y mind. “The last chance to win and I had lost.” It was the final round of wrestling（摔跤）. It was my last year at camp and I wanted to have an undefeated（不被打败的）season. But now, I had lost in the tournament（锦标赛）.

My coach came over to help me up. He saw that my nose was broken and realized that the match had to be stopped. He helped me up and I got small applause from my teammates. People on the other team just stared. Coach walked me over to the locker room to work on my nose.

“I’ll stop the bleeding,” Coach Matt said. His voice was cold and empty. He had expected me to win—he knew I could had won—but now he saw it was over. I had lost.

“Hey, Steve. You did good, man, He, well, he just…” my friend Paul couldn’t find what to say.

“Forget it, man.” I said, my nose still bleeding.

“Don’t talk or it won’t stop bleeding. Just relax and breath through your mouth.”

Coach Matt’s voice was still cold, but warming slowly. He was like a father to me. He had been there through all my years of wrestling, all my wins and lose, all my hopes and dreams—and now he was there, fixing my smashed（撞毁的）nose.

“This must ha ve happened during that last throw. You fell too much on your face. You should’ve turne d and tried to escape. You should think more.” Coach Matt began, his voice now warm like an old friend trying to give good advice.

“I wanted this so badly.” I said.

“May be we can get another contest because of the nose. You can still go undefeated! You can still do it…” Paul continued.

No, I lost. Nothing was left for me to do this year. This was supposed to（应该）be the year—no loses.” I said, cutting him off before he finished.

“Steve, you did your best. Come on. Let’s go and get your medal,” Coach said. He looked at me right in the eyes. “You gave it your all. You deserved（应得）that trophy （战利品）, not the silver medal. You deserve it, but he is getting it. You really won and the whole team is proud.”

I walked up to get my medal, my head held high. I shook the hands of the judges and my opponent(对手), took my medal and saw that, in the eyes of everyone, I had really won. No matter what trophy or medal my opponent took home, no matter what. He may have had my trophy, but he could never have my will.

12. The word “applause” in the second paragraph means _____.

A. cheers and hand—clapping

B. shouts and crying

How to unlock your talent

Search

To find your hidden talent (才能), you’ll have to search for it! We all know people who are great at drawing or good at sports, don’t we? They’re the lucky ones who have a

natural talent for what they love doing. 16 It’s just that we might have to look a little bit harder, that’s all!

Try

Ask

Ask for help to get you started. Do you have an aunt who can help you start a blog or a sporty mom who’ll get active with you? 18 Sometimes we don’t need to look further than our own families to see what skills can be passed down to us!

19

Find out what excites you! The more enthusiastic (热情的) you are about a hobby, the more you’ll want to keep doing it. And, you’ve guessed it, the more you keep doing it, the better you’ll get!

作文：

Helen Keller was born in Alabama in 1880 and died in 1968. When she was only 19 months old, she got a fever that left her blind and deaf. When she was seven years old, her parents invited a teacher to teach Helen. Helen quickly learned how to read and write, and began to speak at the age of 10. When she was 20, she went to college. With the help of her teacher, she got a bachelor’s degree four years later.

Helen Keller devoted her life to helping the disabled and wrote a number of inspiring books. She traveled to many countries to give lectures. She set a good example to all of us, especially the disabled.
