【推荐2】Now students’ English handwriting (书写)gets worse and worse. Their teachers worry about that. Is your English handwriting beautiful?     1    

Use paper with lines

When you write English words, you can use paper with lines. That will make your handwriting straight.

    2     Be sure to fill lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters(大写字母)are written correctly.

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, slow down a little.     3     If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and you may make more mistakes.

    4       

When you hold your pencil in the correct way, writing is much better. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting bad. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.

Draw more pictures

    5     You need to use the skills to control(控制)your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. If you can’t draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.

Handwriting is very important. Imagine(设想) you are a famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs（亲笔签名）, of course!

【推荐1】We usually believe what our brain tells us, but there are some amazing facts which show that the brain tricks us. As a result, we think we can see something that is not actually there or we ignore（忽视）things that actually are there.
Scientists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris have researched this phenomenon（现象）, which they call “change blindness”. Their experiments show how we sometimes just do not see what is in front of our eyes because __________
Here is one of their most famous experiments. In this experiment, the participants（参与者）were shown a video of two groups of people (one group in white T-shirts and one group in black T-shirts) who passed basketballs around in a hallway. Each group had three members. Simons and Chabris asked the participants to count how many times the white team passed the ball. While the two teams were passing their balls around, a person dressed up as a big bear walked through the group and stopped to look at the camera. Simons and Chabris found that about half of the research participants did not notice the big bear.

【推荐3】Your body is special-no two people in the world are alike. Although you are different from everyone else, you have exactly the same body parts as the people around you, doing different jobs that keep all of us alive.

What is inside my head?

Your head houses the most valuable part of your body-your brain. As you are reading, your eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning from what you see. Your brain helps you to remember and think, and makes sure your body is doing what it should.

What is my skin（皮肤） for?

Your skin covers your body. In most parts of your body, the skin is just as thick as half a centimeter. If you have your skin cut, it will have a quick cure and stop viruses from getting into your body. Your skin also helps you feel the heat and coldness of the environment around you. Hair grows from inside the skin. When you feel hot，extra heat comes out through your skin. As a result, your body temperature drops.

How do I move?

Muscles（肌肉） are found in most parts of your body. They work with your bones to help you move-whenever you cry or smile, eat or speak, walk or dance, etc.

Why do I breathe?

Your body needs to take in oxygen from the air and give out the unwanted carbon dioxide in the body. When you breathe, air comes through your nose and mouth into your lungs（肺） where oxygen flows to different parts of your body.

What makes me sneeze?

When dust or a strong smell gets into your nose, you sneeze. This is the way your body cleans up the dust in your nose. Your lungs push out the air and try to clear your nose.

What does my heart do?

Your heart is a very special muscle. It is slightly bigger than your fist （拳头） and grows bigger as you do. If you place your hand on your heart, you will feel your heart beating which forces blood to move around your body.

【推荐1】Most Chinese parents have great expectations of their children. When children are born, their parents have planned everything for them. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are forced to fulfill the dreams that their parents failed to achieve when they were young.

In my opinion, there are two sides to parents' expectations. The expectations can encourage children to work harder for a better life. According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not depends largely on his or her parents' expectations. However, unrealistic(不切实际的)expectations can be harmful to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts ad hobbies. Parents' expectations can take children's freedom away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom. They encourage their children to do things they like to do and never judge them by their grades.

My parents' expectations of me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure on me, and I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams and ambitions. I keep working hard, though my parents do not force me to do so. I will never give up because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble

In a word, I think parents' expectations are necessary. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. Instead, give them enough freedom. Parents must ensure their expectations of their children are realistic so that their children will not lose their self-confidence.

1. What's the meaning of the underlined word "fulfill"?

A．实现

【推荐3】Do you use a phone while walking on the road? Today, more and more people spend too much time watching the phones. We call these people the “Heads-down Tribe(低头族)” and we can see them everywhere.

More traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use phones when driving. So we’ve made some traffic rules to make drivers drive more carefully. For example, heads-down tribe members who use phones when driving will be fined.

Keeping heads down and using phones may cause accidents. Also, some interesting and strange facts happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. Let’s have a look at the TV report. A man in America kept using his phone on his way home. As a result, he walked into a big lost bear. When he looked up, he was so scared that he turned around and ran away. Another fact is that we often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but focusing on (专注于) the phones. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone.

Phones are helpful tools for modern people. Are they good or not? It depends on how people use them. Let’s be “healthy” users and try to be the “Heads-up Tribe”.

【推荐2】Ride of Your Life

【推荐3】Dark blue jackets. Stripped ties (条纹领带). Gray trousers. Blue dresses. These things are all too usual to students at Australia’s Kingswood College-they are part of the school uniform. But the 130-year-old middle school has something different now.

From the beginning of 2021, its students started to wear polo shirts, shorts and tights (紧身裤) to school.

Elisabeth Lenders is the headmaster of the school. She said the difference started about three years ago. By replacing (取代) its old uniform with active wear, the school wants to help students to exercise more.

According to the World Health Organization, 90% of young Australians are not getting enough (足够的) physical activity. Fewer activities and longer phone time are making young people unhappy and unhealthy. It’s found at Kingswood College that having to wear a uniform is difficult to do sports.

Lender said that a uniform was about making students look tidy. In the 21st century, it’s more important for students to be comfortable and healthy. With the new “uniform”, students can exercise whenever they want to, not only in their P.E. class. They don’t need to get dressed in their sportswear and take off after P.E. class.

Most students and their parents welcome the new “uniform”. Kylie MacCorriston has four sons at the school. “I’ve watched them climbing on the monkey bars (攀爬架) with their ties getting in the way (妨碍). They also played football wearing a jacket. It looked very uncomfortable,” she said. The mother believes the new “uniform” will help her sons have happier and healthier school lives.

1. According to the text, which are not the old uniforms in Kingswood?

A．Blue dresses.

B．Stripped ties.

C．Gray trousers.

D．Polo shirts.

2. What do the underlined words “active wear” in Paragragh 3 mean?

A．Most Australian students don’t exercise.

B．Old uniforms make students unhealthy but happy.

C．Students don’t need to take P. E. classes now.

D．Students can do sports easily in their new “uniform” .

4. Why does the writer mention (提及) Kylie McCorriston in the last paragraph?

A．To show the new “uniform” is welcome.	B．To tell us she is a great mother.
C．To show her sons like doing sports a lot.	D．To ask students to do more exercise.
