B: Well, I have to say that this term is quite     2     for me. We’re busy with all the subjects on weekdays, you know. I can     3     spend any time relaxing myself.

A: Oh, it seems that you’re having a hard time.

B: Not really. Although I’m busy every day, I still feel quite happy in the new school. During the past two months, my classmates     4     me in many ways. Because of them, I even made great progress in English. And you know that I wasn’t very     5     before, but now I quite enjoy talking with people, even strangers.

A: Wow! I’m so happy for you. How do you spend your weekends then?

B: At the weekend, my family usually have some outdoor     6    , like hiking, cycling or rock climbing. We like getting close to nature to enjoy the blue sky and fresh air. Last week my family went     7     in the west of Sichuan. Although it was a bit cold to sleep in the tent at night, we had fun watching the stars.

A: You’re really lucky! Last time we went there, the weather was terrible. The next morning, it started to rain. On the way home, we saw landfalls(山体滑坡)in many places. Actually, we were a bit     8     at that time. It was really dangerous to drive through the mountains in summer.

B: Yeah. I still remember the landfall in a small village in Maoxian last year. More than 100 people lost their lives in that     9    . No one could expect such a thing to happen in that beautiful place.

A: Yeah, so if we want to go somewhere to have fun, we must     10     a safe place carefully.

【推荐3】Grace Brown is a 14-year-old girl. She has a     1     school life every day. At school, she studies English, physics, math, chemistry, Chinese and many other     2    . She also sings in a choir (合唱团). The school day is from 8 am to 4 pm, but Grace has so many activities to attend that she has no time for PE classes. That’s why Grace has chosen to take PE classes     3     her free time. Now, her school has allowed her to try “Virtual (虚拟的)” PE.

Grace wears a fitness tracker (健身追踪器) called Fitbit on her arm when she is doing     4    . She usually plays sports three times a week. A program on her computer records her activity. Grace needs to hand in the records to     5     school every week.

Nowadays, “Virtual” PE is becoming more and more popular among teenagers. Usually, PE teachers make     6     list of activities for their students. The students can     7     their favorite activities from them. Usually, those who often swim or dance may easily meet the practice requirements. As for Grace, she likes light running and cycling very much.     8     she has added them to her days.

Some schools support this change, but some do not. “Physical activity is     9     from physical education,” said a PE teacher. “In PE classes, students are taught not     10     how to move but also how to do things as a team.”
