Putting It All Together Ⅰ Read the passage and answer the questions.
Get Together and Talk Things Over! Sometimes even best friends have fights. They disagree with each other and begin to argue. Sometimes they even stop talking to each other. If they are really good friends, though, they will try to fix things up. There are usually two sides to every story, so it is helpful if you can get someone else to listen to both sides.

I've been at Park School, London since I was 11. If I pass my exams next year, I'll stay here until I'm 18.Park School is a , about 20 minutes by bike away from home. Before I came here, I went to primary school, near my home. I started primary school when I was five and stayed there for six years.The schoolday is from 8:45 . to 3:15 . We spend the first 10 minutes in our classroom while our teacher checks which pupils are or . Then everyone goes to the main hall.

After-school activities, such as sports clubs and language societies are popular, too. During the school year there are usually visits to museums and galleries, and to camps for activities, such as climbing and cycling in the country.

We'rebetter at . But people don't eat as well as in the past, and don't take as much exercise as they did.Betty: I that's because public transport is much better today.Betty's mum: Yes, I agree.

I also think schoolchildren today work harder than we ever did.Betty: Yes, but I really want to do my best.Betty'smum: Why don't you ask Mrs Li downstairs She's seen how life has changed.Betty: That's a good idea.

The best-known clothing companies sell their "" clothes all over the world.

Then the less companies make clothes which look the same. But they don't sell as well because they don't have the .People also think clothes are better made.

You can't leave anything which bears might think is food."OK, let's tidy the up, and move on. Oh, and we should make lots of noise, too. If they know where we are, they may not come any closer," said Joe."If you see a bear," said Joe, "you mustn't move or make any . And above all, you mustn't run.

Say what the advantages or dangers are.Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3Read the passage. Which paragraphs describe what you can see in the picturesSix Rules for a Safe and Healthy LifeThanks to in both health care and personal safety, most people are living healthier, longer lives. Someone who is born today can expect to live 25 years longer than someone who was born in the 19th century. It's even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthday. Here are six rules for a healthy life.1. Be careful! It's dangerous out there!We all know that we shouldn't run across the road in front of the traffic, or cycle too close to cars. But we're not sure about how to stay safe in the countryside. When you're out walking, you should always go with someone, and tell your parents where you're planning to go. Remember! Climbing may also mean falling —what goes up must come down. Safety rules and advice are there to help you, not to make life less fun.2. Don't be a potato!Sure, it's comfortable to sit on the couch and watch. But experts say you should walk at least 10,000 steps every day to keep . In the past, people's jobs required more physical effort. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: do you get the same of exercise today as they did in the past3. Watch your diet!It's important to eat plenty of the right things, above all, fruit, vegetables, and to see fast food or sweets as something very special—maybe just now and then. The wrong diet means you'll put on , one of the fastest ways to an unhealthy life.4. Rest up while you can!When we were babies, we slept for much of the day—if our parents were lucky! Teenagers don't need as much sleep but it's important to get about eight hours' sleep. At weekends, you've got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest, too.5. Don't worry. Be happy!Many doctors believe that happiness is important for our general health. If you're worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher.6. Say no ... to smoking and drugs!Yes, you knew I was going to say this! But it's so important. More teenagers damage their health through smoking and taking drugs than any other dangers. Think about the on your family and friends, and think about its effect on you and your health.Happy living!Module 7 Unit 1Look at the party invitation and answer the questions.

It was invented in Italy, not England!Tony: But pizza can be eaten everywhere in England.Betty: I don't think Shakespeare ate pizza!Module 7 Unit 2Read the passage. What are the most surprising pieces of information about meals and eating customs in the WestDo as the Romans DoThere's a , "When in Rome, do as the do." And when you eat Western food, do as the Westerners do. Here are some things you may wish to know about eating together in the West.In the West, lunch is eaten later, always after midday, sometimes at one o'clock. Dinner is served around 7 . or even later. In Spain it's usual to eat lunch at 2 . and dinner at 10 .!At the start of a meal the Chinese usually say "manman chi". The French say "Bon appetit", and the Italians say "Buon appetito". But there's no similarexpression in English! "Enjoy your meal" is usually only said by a waiter. For "ganbei", you can say ""!Chopsticks are only used when people eat Chinese food. Knives and are used for most food. The fork is held in your left hand and the in your right, and the food is held with the fork and cut with the knife. Americans often cut all their food first, and then put the fork in their right hand to eat it. Soup is drunk with a . However, there is some food which can be eaten with your fingers, such as chicken legs, seafood, and cake.At the start of a meal, if you're the guest, you'll be invited to yourself ("Help yourself!"), or your will be filled by your host ("Can I serve you"). If you've been given something you don't like, it should be pushed to the edge of the plate and left. You don't have to say why, but if you feel an is required, just say, "I'm sorry. I can't eat this." No one will be . If you're offered more food, but can't eat any more, just say, "No, thanks. It was delicious, but I've had enough."Generally, fewer dishes are prepared than in China. It isn't thought to be so important to offer too much food.Finally, it's sometimes difficult to know when the meal is . If you've been invited to dinner by Western friends, you'll know that you're expected to stay and talk around the dinner table long after the last dish has been brought to the table, and it's thought quite rude if you leave as soon as you finish eating.The golden rule is: Watch the other people. Do as they do.Module 8 Unit 1 Listen and read.Tony'smum: How was the playTony: Well, I was pleased to see it, but three hours is a long time to staystill.Tony'smum: Was it in EnglishTony: Yes, it was acted by the Beijing English Theatre Company.Tony'smum: What was the bestTony: The fight between the two families and their !
