Nowadays, do native speakers seldom use them today?As we learned, “How do you do?” is for greeting someone we meet for the f 1 time. And it can be answered with the same “How do you do?”. “How are you?” is often used to greet someone we k 2 well. It usually follows with an answer of “I’m good, and you?” or “I’m fine, and you?”.But English is a casual (随意的) language. The formal “How do you do?” is seldom s 3 by native(本族的，本土的) speakers. It is considered old-fashioned(过时的). Yet they greet each other in many other ways.You may hear a conversation b 4 British people: “You all right?” “Yeah, you?” “I’m good. Any plans for the weekend?” or “How’s it going?” “Yea, fine, and you?”. These ways of greeting are very p 5 for young people to say hello to friends.Americans like saying, “What’s up?” or “What’s good?” to friends. Don’t be confused (混淆的). It doesn’t m 6 “What’s wrong?”.

They often say “Hey, girl.”If you meet an Australian, you may hear “G’day, mate”. It means “Good day”. You canr 8 with the same “G’day”.However, there is no rule to say hello to each other.

School is also the p 1 where you learn to get along well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?If you f 2 that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance(宽容). Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the w 3 that other people do, so it is important to learn to live h 4 with them.Tolerance will make everyone get on b 5 with each other. Knowing others constantly(不断地) makes us understand others’ differences.Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance t 6 us to keep an even temper(温和的脾气) and an open mind.You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others how you want to be treated.” You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, s 7 it is important to treat them kindly too. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or w 8 you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not to try to make them change.It is important to practice tolerance because it will make e 9 life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and i 10 . The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make things better.参考答案：1. place2. find3. way(s)4. happily5. better6. teaches/tells7. so8. what9. everyone’s/everyday10. ideas（十）What can little money do?

When these gases come t 2 with rain, acid rain forms. Many power stations burn fuels in order to c 3 the electricity that we use in our homes and offices every day. Cars and trucks also send these gases into the air when they burn gasoline. When rain meets these gases,h 4 things called acids form. This is acid rain.The harm of acid rainAcid rain destroys everything that it t 5 . It poisons our rivers, ponds and lakes ando 6 along with the life in them. It p 7 our soils and crops, harm trees, and can even kill fish and plants.

They try to c 69 up the outside of the tower as fast as possible. They carry water hoses up to the fire. They practise carrying imaginable victims down f 70 high ladders.There are reasons that firefighters are called for help. Maybe a building or a forest is o 71 fire. A train accident happens and people are t 72 inside. Still, people need to be rescued from floods or an earthquake.
