【推荐2】TV has already entered thousands of households, and TV is a window. For primary school students watching TV can make them understand the important events at home and abroad, open their eyes, and get knowledge. Besides, they have been very nervous at school. After home, it is very necessary to relax. And watching TV is a very good way. When some programs are educational, they have both fun and increased knowledge. TV gives primary school students the growth and development of brains. We asked 1,000 students from different schools. The following are the results of the survey about what kind of TV programs students prefer.

Start by looking around your classroom. Think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Say “hi” to them, smile, and be friendly. Ask them to enjoy something or talk with them about something they may be interested in. Invite someone to play with you or ask “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk to kids who you want to play with, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.
If you are feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be affable, be friendly, say nice things and help others — soon you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.

American cooks have their own way of cooking, like frying(油炸), steaming(蒸), baking(烘焙) and boiling(煮). But there are some skills that most people use. For example, Americans often bake when making food. They also care about keeping the balance of meals. In a big meal, there will be some meat, a few vegetables and some soup.

【推荐1】Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals(哺乳动物). They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain (大脑) is as big as men’s and they live a long life—at least 20 or 30 years.
Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw—the lower part of the mouth.
It is strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In 1903, a passenger on a boat with the name of the Penguin shot and hurt Jack. Luckily the dolphin didn’t die, and after a long time he was well again. He guided the ships through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help the boat The Penguin.
Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. In these places, people are not allowed to kill them.
1. The word “jaw” means ________ in Chinese.| A．下颚 | B．嘴巴 | C．嘴唇 | D．鼻子 |
| A．They use their noses to smell the way. | B．They use their ears to hear the sounds. |
| C．They use their eyes to see the way. | D．They use sounds to find the way. |
| A．The writer | B．A dolphin | C．A seaman | D．The passenger |
| A．Dolphins are not fish. | B．Dolphins don’t live in groups. |
| C．Dolphins are kind and friendly to people. | D．Dolphins can live a long life. |
【推荐2】Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. As a result, animals and men need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds (种子). The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.

For school students, making a homework plan (计划) is important. It can help you do your homework well.
First, be sure to understand what your teachers want you to do. Write it down in your notebook or planner if you need to, and be sure to ask questions about your homework if you really don’t understand. It’s much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher in or after class than to think hard all the night!
Second, use any free time in your classroom to work on your homework. Many schools have study halls. It’s interesting to play with your friends and classmates after class at school, but the more work you do in school, the less you’ll have to do that night.
Third, pace(调整节奏) yourself. If you don’t finish your homework at school, think about how much you have and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most school students have between 1 and 1.5 hours of homework at night. If it’s a day with less homework, you can enjoy yourself more, or you’ll have to say sorry to your game show or movies on TV.
