◆Create a step-by-step plan, outlining how you're going to achieve your goals. ◆Set daily reminders(提醒)for yourself on your phone or notebook to encourage you. ◆Focus on small changes in behavior and habit, not the end goal itself.

playground.
Toga-Barrow Race This is like a wheelbarrow race. (Runners take hold of partners’ feet while partners
walk on hands.)
2 Make Greek or Roman food. Mrs. Jones has a list of recipes(菜谱) from ancient Greece and Rome. You may make American food, but be sure to give it a special, mythological(神话的) name. For example, call your chocolate cake “Zeus’s Delight.” This is a great way to practice your skills in the kitchen.

After that, we went on down the river. It was very dark that night and it wasn’t easy to see where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat came at us very fast, and the next minute it was right over us. Jim and I jumped off the raft (木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river.
When I came up out of the water, I couldn’t see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “He’s dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and got out. I saw that I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me. They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house, “Who’s there?”
“George Jackson,” I answered quickly. “I’ve fallen off a river boat.”
Well, the people who lived in that house were very kind, and they took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted. It was a beautiful house and the food was good there, so I stayed.
A few days later one of the slaves in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” Together, we went down to some trees by the river. “In there!” he said and went away.
On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! I was really pleased to see him. When the steamboat hit the raft, Jim told me, the raft didn’t crash. Jim swam after it and caught it. Then he began to look for me.
We decided to leave at once. It’s all right living in a house for a little while, but you feel more free and easy and comfortable on a raft.
31. According to the story, which of the following is the correct order? a. George saw a big house. b. George got some new clothes.
c. George found Jim on the ground. d. George jumped off the raft into the water. A. c-d-a-b. B. d-b-a-c. C. c-b-a-d. D. d-a-b-c. 32.. Why did George Jackson answer “quickly” when someone called from the house? A. George felt afraid and nervous. B. George felt tired and sleepy. C. George really wanted to stay there. D. George didn’t want to lie to him. 33. Which of these old sayings best fits this story? A. It never rains but it pours. B. Every dog has its day. C. Burn the candle at both ends. D. Many hands make light work.
D
A 12-year-old girl from Virginia, US, never thought that a simple message she put online could bring her big problems. She posted the words, “Killing. Meet me in the library Tuesday.”, with three emojis(表情符号) of a gun, a knife and a bomb on Instagram, a social media(社交媒体). She was told that she broke the law because of threatening(威胁) her school.
This problem is not far away from us. Not long ago, Ni Hanxiang, a Chinese student at a university in the US, was sent back to China after expressing on social media that he would kill his teachers if he failed to pass his exams.
In China, posting threatening words online is also against the law. In 2013, Wu Hongfei, a singer, got into trouble for saying on Weibo that she wanted to blow up a building.
“Threatening happens not only face to face but also through the Internet, social media and the telephone,” said Mr. Cao, a lawyer from Chongqing. “Although the law of China protects people’s right of free speech, it doesn’t include words that threaten others’ lives and national safety.”
“Some people may not mean to threaten. They may just be trying to say “I’m strong”, said Fred Pratt, a lawyer from the US.
The girl’s mother said her daughter was a good kid who had never been in trouble before. Ni Hanxiang also said he didn’t realize that what he put online was so serious.
“But not knowing the law doesn’t mean the law will treat you any differently if you break it,” says David
5
Allen Green, a lawyer from the UK. So, do you think we’d better spend a minute or two thinking about the words or emojis we use on social media before we press “send”?
34. The 12-year-old girl from Virginia put the words “Killing. Meet me in the library Tuesday.”, with three
emojis ________.
A. in her homework B. in a letter to her parents C. on a social media D. on the phone
35. Why do you think the writer gives the three examples about posting threatening words online? A. To tell people it’s dangerous to go abroad for further education.
A. To tell people sending threatening words online is against law. B. To show it’s common to post the threatening words online. C. To advise people to express themselves freely on social media. 36. From this passage, we can infer(推断) that ________.
A. Fred Pratt thinks some people just want to say “I’m strong” B. the girl’s mother thought her daughter was a good child
C. cheating in an examination at school may be in prison in China D. putting threatening words on QQ may bring you problems 37. This passage mainly wants to tell us that _______.
A. we shouldn’t break the US law if we study at a university in the US B. students and singers shouldn’t post words or emojis on social media C. we should be careful when we send words or emojis on social media D. students should study hard at school and not use the Internet too much

People often say that the world is getting smaller. By this, they mean that with improved trade, each country is becoming more and more familiar with one another. There seems to be a lot of truth to this. After all, you can buy African food in India, or watch a French movie in China.
However, countries still have the power to surprise people who visit them for the first time. For many of us, there are still real differences in the culture and habits between countries.
Recently, the Daily Mail reported on some culture shocks(文化冲击) from around the world. A Serbian student, Milorad Boti, was greatly surprised on a school trip to Germany when he found that public bathrooms were very different to those in his home country. He noticed that after using the toilet, the cover turned as part of a cleaning process. Milorad was impressed. “That was the best thing that happened on that school trip,” he said.
Most often, however, it is some habits that are different between cultures. The Daily Mail article mentioned the shock of an Indian man, Kaushal Barot. When visiting a Western country, he noticed people communicating with each other in restaurants, often spending hours in them with friends. Kaushal was surprised because in India, restaurants are for one thing only: food.
The cultural differences people notice can seem good, bad, or simply just strange. But rather than something to be afraid of, these differences should be welcomed. Indeed, if the whole world were like one big country, it would be a much more boring place. So let’s be proud of our own culture, and at the same time, open to the cultures of others. Milorad Boti Topic: culture shocks around the world On a school trip to Germany, he found public bathrooms very different to those in Serbia.
