【推荐1】Of course you do not want to spend your holiday sick (生病的) in bed. So what can you do to stay in good health when travelling? There are some things you should remember when you travel: relax, sleep and eat well.

A holiday should be a time for relaxing but very often it is not. Think about what you do when you are travelling. There are so many places to visit: museums, shops, parks… You may spend most days walking around these places. This can make you feel very tired. Do not ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a frail body. And a frail body gets sick easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice and quiet place.

Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. Your hotel room may be noisy or the bed may be uncomfortable. You may not get enough sleep for other reasons. You may want to stay out late at night. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. That extra (额外的) hour can make a big difference.

At last, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right food. Your body needs fresh fruit and vegetables, and some meat, milk or cheese.

So, remember this: if you want to enjoy your holiday, take good care of yourself. Give your body some rest. Get enough sleep and eat good, healthy food.

【推荐2】You may feel comfortable with some people. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half a life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.

How is it done?     1     If you follow the skills, you’ll make friends with people quickly. First of all, good talkers ask questions.     2     One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to some other questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.”

    3     This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your question should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.

Real listening at least means some things.     4     If someone sticks to one topic (主题), it means he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones (声调) of voice. If the voice sounds boring, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.

Finally, good talkers know well when to say good-bye. Remember to give him a handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.

A．Here are several skills that good talkers have.

B．First, it means not to change the subject of the conversation.

C．Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers.

D．If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret.

E．Almost anyone will answer a question.

【推荐3】Who do you think are the most important people in your life, your parents, your sisters or your brothers, or your friends? I think your answer must be “my friends”. Some teenagers often say their parents don’t understand them. In large families, brothers and sisters often argue with each other. So most of us think friends are the most important people in our lives.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. As for the reason, it may be because we can discuss some private things with friends. Of course we won’t tell these thi ngs to our family members.
However, parents often try to choose friends for us. They may even stop us from meeting some of our best friends. In fact, they do it just because they care for us too much. But they often neglect our real feeling. How can you solve this problem? I think the best way is to find a right time to talk with parents about our real feelings.

【推荐1】阅读B篇，根据短文内容判断下列句子的正(A) 误(B)。请将答案按编号涂卡。

Many students have kept practising English hand-writing for nearly three years. Now a lot of students’ English hand-writings are getting better and better. That makes our teachers feel happy. Is your English hand-writing beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!

◆Use paper that has lines

When you write English words or sentences, you can use paper with lines. That will make your handwriting straight. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters(大写字母) are written properly.

◆Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.

◆ Hold your pen right

When you hold your pen the correct way, writing is much easier. Some kids press(按，压) down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to relax yourself and don’t hold the pen 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

Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.

Handwriting is very important. The English saying says “The style(字体) is the man.” Imagine you are a world-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!

1. Not all the students’ English hand-writings are getting better and better.
2. If you want to make English hand-writing beautiful, you’d better use paper with lines.
3. The more slowly you write, the more mistakes you will make.
4. Holding your pen too hard while writing can make your handwriting nice and clean.
5. The English saying means handwriting can determine (测定) a man and his personality.
