When you do your schoolwork, do you do the easier work first or the harder work? Do you put off the things that you don’t like to do? Here are four students’ answers.
Ann, 15, from UK
As for me, I’m a procrastinator (有拖延症的人). In school, I was supposed to spend 40 minutes on my test. I didn’t write a word until the last twenty minutes. Of course I failed the test and my teacher was disappointed at me.
John, 15, from Australia
I don’t like putting off my work. If I don’t finish the work that should be done, I might feel guilty. So I arrange (安排) my time properly. Therefore, I seldom worry about whether I can finish the work on time or not.
William, 14, from the USA
I’m also a procrastinator. In my mind, the thought of instant gratification (即时满足) makes me put off doing what I am asked to do. I always put off the things that I don’t like to do. When I realize that is wrong, it is a little late for me to finish the task in time. As a result, I don’t do as well as I can.
Li Hua, 14, from China
In my mind, time and tide wait for no man (岁月不饶人). I never want to be procrastinator. So I make full use of the time by making a proper timetable to finish what I should do. As a result, I never feel nervous about I can’t finish my homework or test paper. After finishing my home work, I have free time to do sports or hang out with my friends.
1. From the passages, who are procrastinator?2. How might John feel if he didn’t finish the work should be done?
3. What makes William put off doing what he is asked to do?
4. Why does Li Hui never feel nervous about he can’t finish my homework or test paper?
5. How long was Ann supposed to spend on her test?

National parks are large areas of public land. They give a safe home for local plants and animals. They help keep the air and water clean. They also give us the best trip. Today, there are nearly 7,000 national parks around the world. Forbes has listed 12 of the most beautiful ones in the world that will surprise you with their amazing landscapes, geographic wonders and colorful plants and animals. Here are two of them.
 The Grand Canyon National Park of the US is one of the great wonders of the World. It is best known for its size and depth（深度）. It is 446 kilometres long, up to 29 kilometres wide, and 1.6 kilometres deep. The immensity（广大）of the canyon makes people think big. Every year, about 5 million people visit here. Taking a tour in the South Rim offers visitors the park’s full views, while the North Rim shows beautiful wild flowers. |
 If you love animals, you’ll like the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The “Big Five” live there. They are the lion, African elephant, African leopard（豹）, black rhinoceros（犀牛）and African buffalo（水牛）. The name “Big Five” came from the five animals that were hardest to catch. Now they are what people most want to see in the wild. If you visit the park, you should never miss the migration（迁徙）of over 1.5 million wildebeests（角马）and 250, 000 zebras every year. This is the most famous site of the park. |

Welcome to China
Hi, boys and girls,
Welcome to China. I’m glad to tell you something about China. China is in the east of Asia.
My lovely hometown is located on the south shore of an island. It’s a small town with only about 9, 000 people and an area of about 3.8 square miles.
First, I want to talk about the people in the neighborhood. Generally speaking, people are very nice here, especially in summer. I feel that in summer everyone is in a great mood, and very generous. For example, one summer afternoon, I was at the gas station filling up my car and was short of money. Generously an old gentleman gave me the money to pay the gas attendant. That’s the type of people you can expect from my hometown.
The greatest part about the town, in my opinion, is the location. The Great Bay is five minutes away from my house and it’s fantastic. Another great thing is how close everybody lives to each other. With it being such a small town, all my friends live five minutes away, which is a great advantage to me and everyone else. Lastly, the nightlife is great. On any Saturday night every bar is packed with people, so there’s always something going on.
So far I’ve explained the good side of my hometown, but there are also some boring things about it. It is great in summer, but it is a different story in winter. When winter comes around, the town turns into a “ghost town”. This is because there is nowhere to go. The only thing we have is a shopping center. It would be nice if we had a few more options to choose from.
1. Where is the writer’s hometown?2. What happen to the writer when he/she was at the gas station filling up my car?
3. How far does the writer live away from his/her friends?
4. When are the bars full of people?
5. What does the hometown turn into in winter?

 Volunteering in your community gives you a chance to give back. You’ll feel proud that you are volunteering your time, and a local organization will benefit, too. There are some tips (建议) you can follow to help you do your volunteer jobs well. You should choose a volunteer job first and pay attention to the volunteer job you feel strongly about. When you decide to volunteer, you shouldn’t accept the first volunteer chance you come across easily, because you’re likely to be happier and volunteer longer at an organization that supports a job you care about. So you may need to find a volunteer job that makes full use of your abilities or skills. Then, treat the volunteer job like a real job or your study task. That means being serious. Spend some time preparing for the interview, much as you would prepare for a job interview. During your volunteering, you should take responsibility (责任) for everything you do instead of giving up. You may even complete any needed training to help you volunteer well, such as learning some useful skills to help others. Being active and creative is also necessary. Both of the two traits (特质) will help you be great volunteers. |

Rob Frenette has suffered from bullying(欺凌) at school for eleven years. He was often lonely and afraid at school.
After a long time of suffering from sadness and pain, he decided to say goodbye to his past life and do something about his problems. When he was fifteen, he walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk with him about his experiences.
After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time, he helped other people with bullying problems. With his friend Katie, he made a website called www.bullyingcanada.ca. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying. When people are upset, they can talk online to Rob and his team. Every weekend, Rob has to answer emails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around the country about bullying. Rob’s most important message is: “When bullying happens to you, it isn’t your fault(过错). So you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that people care about your problems.”
One of Rob’s ideas is “Blue Day”, a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes in class, and learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools celebrate Blue Day now. However, Rob won’t stop until there’s a Blue Day in every school in Canada.

3. What can people do online when they are upset according to the passage?

Jean is a nice girl from Canada. She goes to a good university and has almost everything that money can buy. The problem is that Jean’s parents are too busy to look after her, so Jean feels quite lonely.
Last year Jean made a very special friend on the Internet. His name was David and he lived in San Francisco. David was filled with stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in song and dance. So it always took them hours to talk on the Internet and sometimes they even forgot the time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: he was a tall, good-looking young man with a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.
When Jean’s father told her that he was going on a business（商业）trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him. She wanted to give David a surprise for his birthday. She took him the latest DVD of their favourite rock singer. But when Jean knocked on David’s door in San Francisco, she found that the special friend she wrote to was a twelve-year-old boy.

A Story Between My Friend and Me
Do you need a mentor (导师)? Many teenagers have trouble communicating with their parents because parents always expect them to solve problems by themselves. For many reasons, they can’t easily work them out. They also find it hard to deal with the relationship with their parents. What should they do? Here comes the way. There are some mentors who can help teenagers to solve the problems. Mentors are not like parents, but they can bring teenagers personal advice and help them grow. Teenagers need to express their own point of view, even if it goes against the mentors. They will feel relaxed because they can talk with mentors freely. Zhou Ziqian is a student from Sunshine Middle School. He learned a lot from his mentor. “I preferred to have a life journey of my own with my own stories. But my parents didn’t agree. I got much help from my mentor. When I shared my problems, he helped me analyze (分析) them in different ways I couldn’t see. Because of his rich experiences, he could understand me well.” said Zhou, “He made me feel good and also asked me to talk more with my parents?” |

Money may not buy happiness, but we use money to buy the things we need. Here are some tips on being smart with money.
Learn to make money
You can get some pocket money from your parents, grandparents or neighbors if you can do chores. These could include washing a car, sorting out the rubbish or taking the dog for a walk. Be sure to do your best — you might get more work.
Help your money grow
Money can’t grow if it sits inside a piggy bank. If you don’t have your own account（储蓄账户）, then ask your parents if they can open one for you. The bank gives you more money because this is a reward（报酬） from the bank for keeping your money.
Make a plan
If you have a big event, it might mean you will need to spend more of your pocket money. A plan for spending and saving will help you take control of your money, so when you need to spend, you don’t have to borrow. A plan is useful if you are saving for something big, too.
Spend widely
Spending money widely isn’t just good for you. It can help the planet, too. For example, rather than buying a new shirt, you could exchange one with a friend or buy a second-hand one.
1. What can we use money to buy?2. Who can we get some pocket money from if we can do chores?
3. Why does the bank give you more money according to Paragraph 3?
4. How many tips on being smart with money are mentioned in the passage?
5. What could we do if we want to buy a shirt according to the text?

How to Spend My Pocket Money
Most students have their own pocket money now.
| During the Spring Festival, many of you may get lucky money. According to a survey in 2020, 40% of Chinese kids got 1,000 to 3,000 yuan during the Spring Festival. In some cities in southeastern China, the number could reach over 10,000 yuan. How will you deal with so much money? Let’s listen to some students. |
| Hi! My name is Nick. I am 15 years old. I like playing games and sports. But I have trouble with money—I never have enough money. My parents give me pocket money every week. During the Spring Festival, I get lucky money from my relatives. I am “rich” sometimes. But most of the time, I use up the money and become “poor”. |
| Hi! My name is Tina. I’m Nick’s younger cousin. I’m 14. I don’t want to spend money like Nick does. I’d rather save it, so that when I grow up, I can study abroad. My parents say that banks can make my money grow. Then I can also help poor children. How exciting! If it is true, I’ll open a saving account and put my lucky money into it. Spending with a plan can help you save money. Saving money can help you make your dreams come true. |
